In st. Pauis church this morning
at II O'Clock the Rev. L. Valentine
Lee will be ordained to the priest
hood in the Protestant Episcopal
church by the Ri. Rev. Robert A.

The beautiful and impressive SER
vice of ordination Is seldom seen In

be the rector Of parish. After one
year in the diaconate he may be ad-
vanced TO the priesthood. and there
by enters into the full privileges OF
the ministry.
Mr. Lee graduated at Richmond
college IN 1918 and In the fail OF
mat year entered the virginia SEMI
nary. where he was ordained deacon
in June. 1916. In July he came to
ST. Paurs as assistant minister. For

work Of the parish.
Although he has been called to

nation TO the priesthood, to the great
satisfaction OF the rector and con-
gregation who are anxious that he
remain indefinitely.

LEFT TO THEIR INTEGRITY.
Failure of Strikebreakers to Ring
Up Fares Explained.

In answer to inquiries and published
reports that conductors on the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company fail
to ring up fares when they receive them
an official Of the company at the Az
street southwest car barn today said that
a number of men serving as conductors
now were formerly motormen and were
unfamiliar with the system of register
ing fares This is also the case with the
new men.
The official said the company has to
trust to the integrity of the conductors
in turning over the receipts. as there is no
other way to keep tab on the exact
amount each conductor takes in on his
route.
