Where Smith-McNary Bill Stands

Advices from Washington to the effect that il
not going to be easy to get the Smith bill thru
the coming session of congress
Many arguments against the bill advanced. but the
that appears to be most effective is the cry Tor
ECONOMY
The principal argument that has been advanced for the
passage of this bill has been the immediate need for
tensive reclamation This has given rise to popular
belief that the Smith-McNary bin will require large
pendtures of money Immediately for this purpose As
matter of fact that bill merely establishes national
reclamation policy. 1t makes appropriation Such APP
preparations to be made only when il is desired to
put this policy into effect.
Under the policy that would be established, reclama-
ton could be carried rapidly slowly as de-
sired or could be halted altogether. Appropriations
could be only in accordance with economic demands
large majority in congress is now favorable TO the
passage of the BILL but the popular msapprehension may
prevent its being brought up for consideration Such
to be the present outlook
Under the circumstances, it is up to the whole West
to unite on policy of education of Fasteners to the

NEW Church SURPRISE
TO BROOKLAND PARISH
Catholic Pastor Aranges Joyful
Celebration for Christmas
Gathering.

The Catholics of Brookland are par
ticularly happy today because, unex-
pectedly, they were able to attend
services in their new church. Ihis
was a surprise planned by the pas
FOR. Rev. p Di Paola, which three
weeks ago seemed impossible OF re-
alization, but the entire force OF
workmen engaged in remodeling the
Parish hall into church ana school
caught the enthusiasm OF the pastor
and rushed through the Work on the
interior of the church.
The new affairs. unlike anything

been completed and were used for
the first time to celebrate a solemn
high mass at midnight. They are
not made of marble, as is customary
in most Catholic churches. but are in
the natural finish of various shades
and colors in wood, forming beau
tiful mosaic effect. The side affairs,
for St. Joseph and the Blessed Vir-
gin, as well as shrines OF st. Anthony
and st. Rita. carry out the same effect
Church artists and architects who
visited the little ST Anthony's Church
in Brookland during the last couple
of days have assured the pastor that
they have never seen in this country

AS usual at this season. the

lehem when Christ was born, was the
center of attraction ip ST. Anthonys
church today. AS usual also. people
came from all parts of the city and
outlying Maryland territory to see the
crib. Father Di Paola is himself an
artist and clever artisan, and for
years, since he came to Brookland
as pastor, he has been devoting much
of his time to personal work to make
this crib as realistic and artistic
as possible.

Avoiding Trouble.

Along the line of least resistance
I take my calm and cheerful way,
and so keep trouble in the distance
and have a picnic every day. Some
friends of mine are always ranting,
they hunt up evils to reform, up
some hard road forever painting, a
weary and bedraggled swarm. They
hope to rend the world asunder and
make of it a winter spot. but it all
ends in smoke and thunder, and
they're. a disillusioned lot. l. hold
it true that every error will some
day shrivel up and fall. but if l were
a holy terror, I couldn't hasten
things at all. So oft I've seen the
ardent martyr go forth to hew
abuses down, and in the end he
hired a carter to haul his weapons
back to town. I've certain rights
that should be cherished, men say
my vigils I should keep; but if some
tinhorn rights have perished, / let
them slide, and lose no sleep. I've
noticed that the people jealous of
all their rights are short of friends,
and they are bores who like to tell
us a narrative that never ends. Let
dauntless souls go forth to battle
with windmills or chimeras dire; in
peace I sit and deftly rattle stream
Of discords from my Tyre.
