The Rambler got the story Of 1.-THE
Big Boys" several years ago. whom
the thought came to him to look up
old Paint Branch Chapel. Pinned to
Mrs. Bisells story was scrawled notes
which the Rambler made at tho time.
and on the strength of which he
meant to write an interesting sto ",
long enough to flll this page. These
notes, a. nearly as the Rambler can
make them out, are: paint Chapel;
century ago: Bishop Plnkney dedi-
Gated; no vestige left; pulled down
1879; rebuilt Fairland; st. Marks;
land given by julius NARROW; church
built in memory of little child named
Conley; child of family living in that
neighborhood: three miles west Of Belts
VILE; big Beal boys; William /. Wolf
ley bought boys estate from Beall
Beall" Somehow, the Rambler never
used those notes and never thought
again Of writing the story OF Paint
Branch Chapel until one day last au-
tumn. Then he turned 10 and
wrote two rsmbles about the church
and the neiEhborhOod, and this
brought back to his mind his visit
to the big boys old farm and Mrs. Bis

RAISE FOR 286,OO0 | EMPLOYES OF NAVY
Five Per Cent Increase Is Awarded All Classes of
 Civil EmpIoyes
By Associated Press


 ashington, September IA wage increase of per cent was awarded all classes of civil employees in the naval establishment under a new pay sche l. ule which will go into effect "on the nearest pay day to September 15" Ire increase, based on the differ ences in the advance in cost of living and the congressional bonus author ized since the last readjustment of wages year and half ago. affects more than 2S6OOO naval employees Several classes of employees, includ- ing practically all the clerical forces and four mechanical trades, will re- ceive increases considerably above the general per cent advance through a readjustment of the entire schedule t5 correct inequalities in the present scale. The new schedule was mol made public today, but will be announced carly next week, Secretary Daniels said
 Outside of the increase the most i'm . portant provision of the new schedule is reduction of working hours to four on Saturday, the year round, the employees 10 be paid for the half days work a the hourly rate.
 While this provision will offset to some extent the increases applying on hourly pay. it was said the employees had approved the provision through ther representatives on the recon . mendipg board who joined in sub hitting unanimous report to the secretary.
 While the basic per cant increase does not meet the demands of the em ployes. which ranged from 25 cents an hour as minimum general increase to 4o cents for mechanics. the board g eport to the secretary declared the scale of pay in the naval establish ment was found to be "5 per cent high : CT, bonus considered than the wage scale of any other industry without the present increase included.
 The increase was awarded despite der the terms Of the original award of yard pay the macy is "pledged to basis of the change in the cost of liv- ins." In this connection, the board recommended the future readjustments be made 'in accordance with the law of 1862, upon the basis of current wages in similar private establishments"
 The four trades found to be entitled to a higher basic rate were angle smiths, die sinkers, holders and pat ternmakers, these receiving increases in addition to the , per cent as re- suit of the higher rating.
 Tn regard to clerical forces the board said
 Ut is found that the clerical force has been receiving, as compared to the skilled mechanic in the employ of the navy, relatively too low q wage for the duties and responsibilities required of them

U. s. LIKELY TO SHIFT
 RESPONSIBILITY BELIEF
Will Be Left to Other Government to Say Whether It Is Satisfied to
 Accept Terms of Act
By Associated Press


 Washington. September 4.--Kesponsi- blity for termination of the commercial treaties between the United States and more than a score of foreign nations in conformity with requirements of the shipping act probably will be placed squarely upon the other prrties to the treaties by the state department
 In other words, it will be left to the other government to say whether it is content to accept the terms of the acS and acknowledge the right of Congress to discriminate against it's shipping with out entirely canceling existing treaties. Officials regard these treaties as con- tracts and do not claim the right to can eel a single provision without the con sent of the other parties.
 Indeed it has been found that some ot the treaties include clauses expressly prohibiting any changes in their pro- visions in any part.
 The state department, it was said to- day, soon will make public annouhce- ment of it's policy. It may be some tima however, before the foreign governments are heard from, and then it will be acc essary for the department to date bac. notices of denunciation. if such are re. Quired.

Washington, September 4.-Although 1t was said at the state department that no immediate reply was contem- plated to the notes received from the Polish government in connection with the correspondence over the Russian Polish situation, officials do not believe the last word has yet been said in the discussion.
 It was fntimated the American gov ernment was not inclined to press it's point on matter requiring poise and calm reflection at a time when Polish officials are fully occupied with mili- tary measures. Insfstence under these conditions upon a definite statement by Poland of her purpose to respect Rus sian territorial integrity was not to be expected, it was indicated
 While by no means abandoning the contention that Poland should definite ly renounce any purpose or action which might be construed as imperial istic, the state department has taken the position that the Poles be per- mitted to satisfy themselves that all danger of further invasion of Poland by the bolsheviki has passed before withdrawing to the ethnogra phic from tier s
