met. He made many friends in and
around our community Ninety-seven
persons professed saving faith and be-
sides this the church was greatly re-
freshed and strengthened. A new Es-
ty organ was installed in our church
on Monday of this week. It was pur-
chased from J. A. Downs of Dover at
cost of $3.50. 1t has been tried out
by our expert musicians and has prov
en- perfectly satisfactory.
We are at this time fully one month

the season of what we usually are at
this time in the year. Our farmers and

HOOVER FINDSU.S.
PAY TOOLOW FOR
BEST OF employees
Says Clerks Here Either
Inefficient or Work at
Sacrifice.

Government workers in the posi-
tions requiring expert knowledge
are either working at a sacrifice, or
they are of q type which a bust
ness concern would not employ.
Herbert Hoover, Secretary Of Com
merce. said yesterday in discussing
the salaries paid Federal employees.
He also revealed for the first time
that many of the Cabinet members
and heads of the bureaus were
using their private funds to pay
higher salaries than those allowed
by the government in order that
they may command the best trained
men available to assist in making
their plans operative.
The margin between the salaries
paid by the governmental for experts
in various lines and the salaries
paid to business concerns for the
same class of emuloye is entirely
too wide. Mr.. Hoover said. The re-
suit is that the business concern
outbids the government, except in
the cases where the expert is will
ing to work at a sacrifice in in
come. In a number of instances
the man filling the government po-
sition is what may be termed a
second rate" employe and the
government holds him because his
services may not be required else
where, he said.

SWEDISH COUNTESS
FREED FROM JAIL
Noblewoman Spends Three
Days in Prison for Art
Deal.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Countess
Hjordis Ridderstad, Of Stockholm
Sweden, was released on $4,000
bail today from Ludlow street jail
here. where she had spent three
days as the result of her ill-timed
attempt to introduce Russian art
into America.
The countess was sent to Jail on
Friday after DR.. Henry Holm. of
Ishpeming, Mich, had complained
that she sold him a picture by lila
Pepin, one of Russia's foremost ar
lists, for $4,000. but never de-
livered it.
The sale was made last Septem-
ber. At that time Countess Ridder-
stad, who met Holm on the ship as
he was coming to America to ex-
hibit and sell a collection of Re-
pins works, agreed to find him a
purchaser for the picture he had
just bought for $4,000, the new
purchaser to pay Holm $4,000.
She was arrested on his affidavit
that she was preparing to leave the
country.
After the countess. who Is only
%. had been released from Jail to-
day, she explained that she and her
friends and hoped to realize $780,
900 from the collection, which deal
ers here say would bring 100000
in Sweden. They had spent about
$4,000 to have the paintings ex-
hibited at a Fifth Avenue gallery,
but have not yet sold a single
picture.

SCHOOL BUILDINGS
Business High and Tech
Are Declared to Be
OvercrOwded.

Appeal for a new building for
Business High School will be made
today by Allan Davis. principal of
the institution, to DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent of public
schools. 1t is also expected that
Frank C. Daniel, principal of Tech
nical High School, will urge DR..
Ballou to consider a new Tech High
School in the 1928 estimates.
Both institutions are overcrowd-
ed, it is said to such an extent that
the buildings will not comfortably
hold the students. The enrolment
at Business High was 1900 this
year; while Technical had nearly
1000 students.
DR.. Ballou received estimates for
next year from department heads
yesterday and will continue busi-
ness today and tomorrow. Amounts
of estimates asked yesterday were
not made public, but it is under
stood that school improvements and
pleas for higher rates of salaries
to school teachers were the princi-
pal points discussed.
The scEc oil estimates, covering
thousands of dollars, must be in the
District Commissioners hands by
August 1. and in order to have suf-
flcient time TO consider appeals
made by the school department
heads, DR.. Ballou will end the
hearings this week.

HOUSE FORBIDS
Use OF BEER AND
WINE AS MEDICINE
Passes Willis Campbell
4 Bill by Vote Of q
250 to SO.

The House last night by vote
of $50 to 80 voted that beer and
light wines shall not be used a:
a medicine in the United States.
1t passed the Willis Campbell bill
supplementing the Volstead prohi'
bition enforcement act, to forestalI
the execution of a regulation pro
viding for the prescription of beei
and light wines as medicine held BY
former Attorney General Palmer tc
be within the law.
The bill is expected to be con-
sidered by the Senate in the neal
future. Meanwhile regulations tc
permit prescription of beer and lighl
wines are being held up by the Com
missioner of Internal Revenue.
Wide Range in Debate.
The vote came aftef four hours
of debate involving heated inter
changes, charges and counter
charges end the discussion ranged
from Rameses I Of Egypt to Can.
nonism.'
Representative Reavis, of Nebras
ka. Republican. whose original bill
to supplement the Volstead act was
rejected by the Rules Committee
complained that the gag rule o.
the days of Cannonism had return
ed. but that instead of one-mar
domination, thhe Rules Committed
had assumed this function.
Mr.. Campbell. replying to Reavis
denied that the Rules Committed
undertook to act as "czar" or the
House.
At the outset of the debate Mr.
Volstead explained the purposes ant
the expected operation of the pro,
posed bill. Representative Voight
of Wisconsin, insisted that the en-.
forcement of the Volstead prohi
bition act had become a comedy
GaII,van Denounces Bill.
Representative Gallivan, of Massa.
chusetts, Democrat. declared he was
proud to stand on the floor of the
House and denounce the pending
bill.
we are told by the historians
said Gallivan, that Egypt had ply.
sicians 5000 years ago and they
also were regulated by prohibition
laws that compelled them to pre-
scribe according to the statute. II
they adopted any treatment of their
own they were put to death.
I'VE have one conspicuous his.
torical relic of the medical skill
of Egypt, the mummy. The physi.
clans of that time preserved the
bodies of their patients after death
better than they did in life. Egypt
also died from too much regula'
tion by law"
Representative Ryan, of New York,
declared that the people of his State
were not going to enforce the pro-
hibition law; that they didn't wan,
it. He referred to the recent &C.
tion of the A. F. of L. convention
demanding the right to light wines
and beer as beverages.
To this Mr.. Box, of Texas, re-
piled sharply that the New York
legislature ha recently passed a
very drastic prohibition enforcement
Jaw. He asked Mr.. Ryan IL he would
dare rise in the New York leeis
iature and boast that the people
of the State did not intend to obey
that law.
