COURT DENIES ROAD
ASSESSMENT RIGHT
Citizens Committee of Section 4,
Chevy Chase, Reversed in I'm
provement Steps.

ROCKVILLE. Nd. July 15.-The
citizens committee of section 4 of
Chevy Chase. this county, has not the
right to levy a special assessment
against any of the property to re-
build or repair any road or street
that has already been macadamized.
according to a decision rendered by
Judge Edward c. Peter in the circuit
court here.
To repair certain of the streets of
the section that were macada mized
some years ago the citizens commit
tee decided to assess practically all
property in the section 81 a front
foot. Much opposition developed, and
Mrs Margaret n. Ward refused to pay
and took the matter to court.
Through her attorney. Robert B.
Peter of Rockville. Mrs. Ward con-
tended that the act of the legislature
making section a special taxing
area contains a provision prohibiting
the citizens committee from levying
a special tax for the repair or i'm
provement of any macadamized road
or street. and Judge Peter took that

Daniel pointed out to Nebuchad-

kings dream was prophetic of the
downfall of the Babylonian power.

shortly after the banquet that Bel

to be impregnable. The wild and ir-
religious youth shared authority

The Babylonians were in the habit OF
placing hands upon the walls of their
buildings to ward of the evil spirits, so
when the superstitious sovereign saw
the hand without an arm writing upon
the wall he called aloud for the en-
chanters, soothsayers and wise men,

Poor Peter Rabbit. He was all
wound up in an old fish net which
had been spread over the strawberry
bed in Farmer Browns garden to
keep the birds from stealing the ber-

it was his own fault. He had started
across that strawberry bed without
first carefully looking to see where
he was putting his feet. Now he was
prisoner, and helpless. He was so
wound up in that net that he couldn't
even kick.
Never in all his life had he been so
frightened You see he couldn't un-
derstand at all what had happened to
him. How slowly the minutes passed,
Each one seemed like an hour. Once
in awhile Peter would try to strug-
gle. but soon gave it up. There was
nothing to do but to lie there and
wonder what would happen when
daylight came. He wondered who
would be the first to find him Per-

PLAN WAYS TO AID
BIBLE CLASS WORK
Special Committee Offers
Many Constructive Rec
concentrations.

The report OF the findings commit
tee of the conference on mems organ
ized Bible class work, which was held
at LeesDurg, Va. July l to 4. has just
been made public. This conference
was attended by delegates from t:.e
majority of large mems Bible classes
of the city, who met to prepare a
program of cooperative work for
mems Bible classes to be carried out
during the next fall and winter. The
concentrations from the conference
to all the organized mems BiS1e
classes Of the city.
1t was recommended that a city
wide membership drive be inaugu-
rated October l and that all mems
classes join in this for the purpose OF
securing new members.
Law Enforcement sunday.
The question of law enforcement
ed that Sunday, November 26. be c1-
served as law enforcement Sunday"
and that this question be considered
in every mems Bible class. The con-
ference was especially concerned
about the lack of respect for the Con-
stitution Of the United States.
Another recommendation was tnat
a press agent be appointed by each
mems class to care for the publicity
of his particular organization.
Beginning in January. series OF
Sunday afternoon mass meetings. un-
der the general subject Of ''Christian
Citizenship" will be held. These
meetings will be open to the general
public and will be addressed by the
strongest speakers in the country.
The question of assisting smaller
mems classes and organizing classes
in Sunday schools that now do not
have such classes was considered and
it was recommended that the larger
mems classes assist in this work.
Help Of Y. M. c. A. Asked.
The conference requested the 7. M
c. A. to prepare a course of instruc-
ton for the development of leaders
for young men and boys in order that
the Sunday schools Of the District
might have trained leaders to carry
on full rounded program for the
young men and boys of the schools.
A larger fraternal and social spirit
among the mems classes by occasional
exchange of teachers and social get
togethers" was also recommended.
This work is to be carried on under
the supervision of central commit
tee on mems Bible class work. The
headquarters of this committee Will

HALF HOLIDAY DECLARED
Few Post Office Clerks Here, How
ever, Will Benefit.

Probably few clerks at the Wash
ington city post office will profit from
the order issued yesterday by First
Assistant Postmaster General Bart
lett, instructing postmasters, to give
post office clerks a half holiday on
Saturdays for the remainder of the
summer. provided the work assigned
them had been completed by noon
and service is in no wise curtailed.
Postmaster Chance said today he
believed it would be impossible to
allow any of his clerks, who work
eight full hours a day, to have the
half holiday without curtailing the
service to some extent.
However. a careful survey will be
made of the local office. and IL any
clerks can be let off without curtail-
ment Of service it will be done. Mr.
Bartlett, in his order, declared that
it is anticipated that only a small
per cent of employees may benefit.

BY and by Peter heard a rustling
of the leaves in the strawberry bed.
He knew somebody was coming. Was
it an enemy or friend? He had no
means of knowing. If IL should prove
to be an enemy he couldn't even fight
for his life. Nearer and nearer sounded

As regards the libel on the Esqui-

The fiction that the Esquimau
