The Anacostia Improvement.

For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1923, the War Department will ask for
an appropriation of 100000 to carry
on the work Of reclaiming the Ana
costa river and laying the founda-
tions Of a great reservation bordering
it to the District line. This work has
been suspended now for some time
owing to failure Of appropriation. 1t
should be resumed Ns quickly as the
state Of the Treasury will permit. In.
deed. in view of the necessary slow
ness with which such an enterprise
progresses there should be no inter-
ruption. At the present rate it will
take decade. or perhaps two. to re-
deem the Eastern branch from its
wretched and disease-producins condi.
ton and give the eastern part of the
city it's required freedom from a bane
that has impeded its development for
many years.
Along a considerable stretch Of the
Anacostia, that which is most def.
nitely under public observation, this
improvement work appears to be in .
well advanced state. But above the
point Of main travel it is sadly lag.
ging. At the Benning bridge it is pos.
sible to note the slowness Of the work.
for practically nothing has been done
there save surveying. At 'the Penn
sylyania railroad passenger bridge,
some distance above. the marsh re-
mains untouched and is as prolific Of
as ever.
The fact that that part of the city
has not developed more rapidly is no
reason for holding back on the great
improvement. The true cause Of its
'tardiness Of development lies in this
very condition. Potomac Park has
resulted from the reclamation work
that was rendered absolutely neces.
sary because the swamp that was re-
deemed lay at the front door Of the
city. The side-door yard. SO to speak.
should be treated with as much consid.

Mr.. Wilson and 1924.

The Independent democrats Of New
York are already discussing plans for
next years campaign. when a full
state ticket and a United States sen.
ator are to be elected. Former Gov.
Alfred E. Smith seems to be the choice
for the gubernatorial nomination. and
William Church Osborn for the sena-
torial nomination. -
A meeting attended by q score or
more men Of prominence in New York
politics was held Tuesday and this
statement made at. its close:
'There was a concurrence Of opin-
lon that it is necessary To- Keep alive
the Independent fofward-looking spir-
It in the democratic party, to the end
that when the voters Of the country
become fully aware Of the low ideals
Of the Harding administration they
may turn to the democrats in the as
aurauee that the government will be
restored 70 safe hands,"
It is of interest to note that at the

Congress.

The record Of the special session to
date is creditable as respects both the
volume and the character of the busi-
ness transacted. Some very pressing
relief has been given. Much relief re-
mains to be given. The recess post
pones several highly important mat.
ters. But they are in hand. and there
is promise Of prompt disposition Of
them when Congress reassembles.
AS The Star stated the other day,
the job proved to exceed in size and
difficulty the first calculations. More
time proved necessary than was at
first allowed. Views as to what should
be done differed widely. The tariff
caused divisions. "A revision of the
tax list caused some sharp squabbling.
The Senate has yet to deal with those
two subjects. and when 1t takes them
up for debate there may be spirited
times in the chamber.
The President was often consulted,
and had much to do with ironing out
troublesome wrinkles. He will be
asked to perform similar service when
the recess is over. and maybe during
the whole life of this Congress. He
will, of course. comply. His party and
he. as its leader. have too much at
stake for him to refuse to assist when
ever it becomes necessary. He is IA
miliar with the legislative field and
processes. and will know how to rem.
der assistance as the necessities arise.
The relations between the President
and Congress are cordial, and likely to
remain so, and in that fact IL much Of
an assuring nature for the business
world to consider.

| Carthage, N. G., Nov. 24.-To
live a century is considered out oi
the ordinary, but when two mem
bers OF the same family, living In
the same house, pass the one hun
dredth milestone it is more than
out of the ordinary.
Out in Bensalem township, OF
Moore county, IT miles from Car
thage, is the home of the McDuffie
sisters, Misses Anna and Christina.
Miss Anna is 104 years Of age and
Miss Christina Is 102 years, ac-
cording to authentic records. They
live with their nephew, John Nc
Duffie, within one mile of the spot
where they were born. And they
have never lived outside Of Bensa-
lem township.
The sisters are not ashamed of
their ages, and they are remarkab-
ly active, getting about the little
home and yard without assistance.
They can see well, with the aid of
their glasses. and have remarkable
memories. 1t is very interesting
to hear of the days when there
were no mails and no lamps, no
trains and other modern convent
ences Neither sister can hear
well.
Both Miss Anna and Miss Chris
tina voted last November, and
when President Harding was re-
Gently notified that they cast their
votes for him he sent them the
following letter:
'The White House, Washington,
d. c., November 1, 1921.-My
Dear Ladies: A mutual friend has
written me most interesting let
ter telling me that both of you,
being over 100 years of age, cast
your first votes last November.
Quite aside from the fact that I !
am informed you both voted for
me, | was so much interested in
the matter that / want to write
both to congratulate and to thank
you. hope that you may have
the privilege of voting many more
times and that your years will be
filled with happiness and good
fortune. Very sincerely yours,
G. Harding"
Both Of the sisters are members
Of the Presbyterian church and at
tend services when possible, but
twice each year their pastor, the
Rev. W. L. Wilson, Of Hemp gives
them communion at their home,
and on these occasions Presbyter-
ans for many miles make it a

Chicago, Nov. 24.-The number
of Methodist Episcopal churches
with a membership of 1000 or
more has doubled in the last six
years, according to Rev. oliver S.

Philadelphia leads the list with
eleven. Columbus, Ohio, is next
with nine. Detroit has eight and
Baltimore five.
Rev. Baketel used the statistics
up to the fall conferences of the
