was spent in social conversation and
visiting among old friends. Later
Henry Teget,, chairman OF the board
CT trustees, called the assembly to or
der and an informal and highly enter
tanning, though brief, musical and
literary program was given. This
was opened by the singing of America
by the audience, followed with prayer
by Rev. Eddy. O. J. Henderson was
then called upon and delivered neat,
interesting and fitting address Of well
come to the new pastor, which was
responded to in a happy manner by
Rev. Eddy. Both We're heartily APP

STATE BOOSTS LEVY

A decrease of 1859 mills in the cOun-
ty tax levy for 1921 as compared to
the figures for 1920 is shown in figures
made public today, following action by
the supervisors earlier in the week.
The levy just made is payable in 1922.
1t was delayed somewhat owing to an
injunction secured by Iowa railroads
against collection of taxes under an III
creased assessment made by the state
executive council. This matter was de-
cided recently in court in Des Moines.
Although the county levy shows a
decrease of 1859 mills, the state levy
has been increased by 1.39 mills. The
CORPORATION tax for Webster City like
wise shows an increase, as does the
levy for school purposes.
The total levy on Webster City tax
nayers is 146.7 mills.
The school levy for Webster City I'M
der the 1921 levy is Is mills as COM
nored to G3.5 for 1920, while the school
l,olse levy is only 81 mills as compar-
ed to 21.2 mills for 1920 The total
for schools is SCI for 1921, as against
SAT for 1920.

DOMESTIC ART
Y. NJ. C. A. Asks Course For Pubic
Schools

At a meeting of the Ladies' Aux
iliary of the Y. NJ. C. A., held last
Monday evening several matters per-
tanning to the educational work OF the
auxiliary were discussed and the fol-
lowing resolution passed.:
"That the Ladies' Auxiliary of. the
Y. M. C. A., bring to the notice of the
Alexandria city school board the i'm
portance and desirability Of adding
courses in domestic science and art to
the regular school curriculum, and
that the board be urged to take i'm
mediate steps toward the Inaugural
ton of such courses the next school
year."
AS result of the auxiliary conduct
ing cooking and sewing classes for
some time, there is growing con-
seriousness of the need of the work
and the inestimable value to be de-
rived from it.
A report of the educational commit
tee showed an enrolment of seventy
two women in the courses of physical
education, cooking, dressmaking and
home nursing. At least as many
more girls are enrolled in sewing and
gymnasium classes.
Beginning in January the auxiliary
- 1855 &GlWE&
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1921-12-09

will offer course for the study of
Shakespeare, under the direction of
David Jones. A new cooking class
will open at the same time. Those
interested in joining these classes
should communicate with Mrs. H. B.
Cation. Further information will be
announced soon.
Beginning in February course in
civics and citizenship will be conduct
ed by Miss Elizabeth Pidgeon OF the
University of Virginia. This course
will be especially valuable to teach
ers desiring to renew their certificates
or to secure credits toward degree.
Information regarding this course
may be obtained from Mrs. NJ. L.
Horner Of the educational committee,
The auxiliary decided to arrange
for the supper to those attending the
Inter- Association Sunday School Ath-
letic Meet, on the evening of Deem
Der 80. Plans are being made to have
the supper prepared and served by
the members of the cooking class who
are now finishing their first course.

Old Folks Concert

Many of the old favorite songs will
be sung next Monday evening at the
concert by the choir of St. Paul's
Church. Such songs as the "Lasr
Rose of Summer" "Oft in Silly
Night" and others which have been
selected will ever remain popular:
aye Seconde Halle" will be opened
with the chorus, "Tis Thy Wedding
Morn" with piano, organ and violil:
accompaniment. This selection is
from "The Rose Maiden" by CoWen
and is considered the best in this
beautiful cantata. In the hands Of
the chorus of St. Paul's choir, it will
doubtless be we'll presented, and they
will maintain this reputation for ef-
effective chorus work.
Tickets can be secured at drug
stores from members of the choir
and at the door.

Representative Flood Called
To Last Rest
CONTINUED from page one)

It fell to the lot of Representative
Flood, as chairman of that commit
tee, to offer the resolution declaring
a state of war to exist between the
United States and Germany. Later
in was his duty to offer similar
resolution relating to war with the
imperial and royal Austro-Hungarian
government.
On another memorable occasion the
Virginia member, on the platform OF
a political convention rather than the
floor of the house, filled a spectacular
oratorical role. That was when he
arose, in the Democratic convention
in Baltimore in 1912, and responded
to the attack made by William Jen-
nings Bryan on Thomas F. Ryan. Mr.
Ryan was a friend and fellow-Vir-
ginian of Representative Flood, and
the Bryan attack on Thomas Fortune
Ryan, whom the Nebraskan linked
with the predatory interests" arous-
ed in Mr.. Flood resentment that
Alexandria gazette. [volume] (Alexandria, D.C.) 1834-1974, 1921-12-09

found expression in dramatic and
bitter speech.
His latest signal service was as
ranking Democrat of one Of the sew
eral committees named to "investi-
gate" the conduct Of the war. The
minority report, presented by Mr.;
Flood after this smelling committee"
concluded its inquiry, was regarded
as a remarkable brief and it is sig
nificant that the majority report OF
this subcommittee was never adopted
by the Republican house, which IN
stituted the investigation.
Members of congress generally
were shocked today upon receiving
word of Mr.. Floods death.
