EASTER SERVICES IN
 VALDEZ CHCRCHES

The Easter services in both the
 Episcopal and the Congregational
 churches attracted large congrega- tions both in the morning at vespers
 and in the evening. The double quar- tette from both churches under the direction of MT. C. A. Eby, gave fine
 musical setting to the vesper service,
 and furnished a special program at the Congregational church in the evening. Miss Pearl Miller sang, "I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say" and
 MT. Eby gave as an offertory solo Par ker's Jerusalem" The choir acquit- ted themselves splendidly in their rendition of Then Shall the King Say" by Allen. and the Radiant Morn," by Woodward. The closing solo, with obligato, by MT. Eby, was especially effective. Mrs. J. c. Mar tin, who was called upon to preside at the organ at a moments notice, con- tributed very largely to the success of the musical program. Rev. c. J. Zinn
 of the Episcopal church read the
 Scripture lesson and the responsive eadings. The services from begin
 ming to end were an expression of
 Christian fellowship and Easter glad ness.

COAL MARKET EASIER
Supply of Fuel Assured for In
auuuraI Week,

Extraordinary efforts by traffic
managers and coal dealers to bring
to Washington sufficient coal to take
care of the eXiGencies of the inaug-
ural have resulted in the coal mark ct
easing off somewhat.
The price of soft coal, of which
there has been an unprecedented scar
city this winter, still rests at tho high
level OF 1925 TO $3.50 at the mine.
This price, to which must be added
freight rates and profit margin, of SI1
and $11.5O per ton for soft coal will
continue, in the opinion of dealers,
until warm weather sets in.
Dealers in Washington are inclined
to believe the price Of soft coal will
not go higher. The daily supply that
arrives for Washington is limited, but
it is not thought that inaugural needs
will find the city unprepared in this
respect.

LAUps RECOMMENDATION.

THE General Staff should have
been court-martialed IL it had made
any other report than that which has
been sent to Congress by the Secre-
tary of War;" said George Hewitt
Myers, secretary of the Army League,
today in commenting on the general
staff's recommendations on universal
military training. ain recommending
universal liability to military train
ing and service the general staff only
followed the policy advocated by ev-
cry great military leader from Wash
ingtOn down to the present. Every
Secretary of War, from Knox to the
present head OF the War Department,
after mature consideration has in
dorsed some system of universal mill
tary training and service"

Happenings of the Day In
Various Parts of the
Nations Capital.

Perhaps the moderate weather
Washingtonians have been enjoying
inclined some of them to be little
less forgetful of those who had no
Overcoats to protect them should the
wind again become cold.
This was evident in the case of
ragged little newsboy, trying to sell
papers to the patrons of one of Wash
ington's most fashionable hotels. With
scarcely a glance. they passed him
by. At last he got desperate.
The next passerby was halted by
pitiful wall. 1t was the heartbrokcn
cry of a little child in trouble. No
one with a semblance of humanity
could pass without inquiring the rea-
son.
A beautifully dressed woman, cs
corted by a man in evening dress,
came from the hotel and paused,
hearing the cry. Poor boy" she muir
INJURED to her escort. "See what is
the matter with him" The escort
went to the ragged youngster none
too happily and inquired why. From
a tear-stained face the boy, between
sobs, stated that he had to sell all his
papers before he went home. Luckily
he had but one left. OF course the
escort took it, but had no less than
a nickel to pay for il. The newsbOy,
like the fraternity, had no change.
Keep the change, my little man"
and the philanthropist passed on.
Returning some time later, he saw
enacted the same performance. The
boy had concealed a pile of papers
and pocketful of change.
