D. c. DAY FR|TTERED
AWAY IN IDLE TALK
Needed Legislation Side
tracked, While Unrelated
Matters Consume Time.
BUT THREE BILLS PASSED
Minor Measures, Ten Minutes Real
Work, Only Accomplishments of
Much Talk and Partisan Fight.

District day in the House yesterday
was dfssipated in just about the usual
way. Time was allowed for Tom.
DICK and Harry to make all sorts of
speeches on subjects entirely unre-
lated to District legislation. A num-
Der OF the chronic takers were al
lowed to consume the time that is
credited to the District.
Four points of order demanding a
roll call of the House and an appeal
from the decision Of the chair wasted
great deal more of the time.
Row Over Herrick.
The climax was reached when Rep
resentative Fred n. Iilhman of Mary
land was cndeavoring to expedite
action on the bill to extend 14th
street through the medical center ad :
Junct to the Walter Reed Hospital.
Chairman Focht of the House Dis
trict committee granted twenty min
utes time to Representative Manuel
Herrick of Oklahoma. more famiIiarly
known as the aerial daredevil" who
has for several days been conducting
a one-man filibuster in order to get
time to air his love affairs and his
grievance against certain Washing
ton newspapers.
In retaliation against the District
committee because Representative
Herr1ck was given time, Representa-
tive Cassius Dowell of Iowa, made the
point of order that no quorum was
present. This again wasted time for
a roll call and when Herrick attempt
ed to speak Representative Martin r.
Madden of Illinois made motion that
the committee rise. This again pre-
cipitated wordy partisan battle with
democratic parliamentarians arguing
for orderly procedure. An appeal from
the decision of the chair was effect
ual by a vote OF IS to 70 after a
lengthy wrangle. and Herrick finally
proceeded with his speech. denounc-
ing "hyenas of the press" The house,
however. ignored his resolution to de-
bar reporters OF certain papers from
the Capitol.
Only Three Bills Pass.
That was just one of several in
terludes during which important Dis
trict legislation could have been pass
ed If those In charge of the proceed
ings had honestly given the District
the time it is credited with.
The net result of District day" was
to pass three small bills, which should
not have taken more than 10 min
utes-O granting the visiting Shrin-
ers the use of the parks for camp
accountancy and CD equalizing the
retirement pay of police and flremen.
The only important bill. on which
any fight was anticipated-the ex-
tension Of 14th street to give a new
avenue of entrance into the Capital
territory for residential development
to relieve the housing shortage-was
left ditched, after few moments
talk.

CHRISTIAN
SCIENCE TEACHINGS
]. w. Doorly of London Discusses
Nature of Mortal Existence Com
pared With Real Creation.

"Christian Science, the Science of
the Unity of God and His Creation"
was the subject of a lecture last
night at Masonic Auditorium by John
". Doorly, c. S. b, of London. Eng
land, in which he discussed the nature
of mortal existence as compared with
the real creation.
christian Science" he stated. does
not teach that there is two creations,
one spiritual and the other material.
1t teaches that there is but one crea-
tion, and this creation is Gods eX-
preston or emanation, and is there
fore wholly spiritual.
Speaker Touches on Creation.
1T further teaches that this crea-
tion is not composed of material or
ganisms which are constantly being
changed by the action of other organ
isms, but that it is composed of Gods
thoughts or divine ideas, each for
ever specific. individual anu un-
Changeable in its nature.
Nothing has plagued and punished
humanity more than its inability to
understand. or mentally to lay hold
on God. and not to be able to prove
in its time of need that He is God
at hand and not God afar off, This
inability to understand Gods true
nature and His availability has cuI-
minated in the popular belief that God
is inaccessible to mortalsand that He
is a humanity personal being with hu-
man qualities and passions. who gov
erns the universe according to ma
terial law.
Discusses "Mistaken Notions"
ITO these mistaken notions of God
can be traced much of the disaster,
disease, discord and dismay which
seem to play SO large a part in hu-
man experience. During the ages
many spiritually minded men and
women have arisen who have under
stood to some extent Gods true ma
ture and also the nature of true ex-
istence and its inseparability from
God"

REVENUE
BUILDING IS URGED

If the bureau of internal revenue
could be housed in an adequate single
building here instead Of the eight sep
arate structures throughout which it
Is now scattered, a, saving of approxi-
mately a million dollars annually
could be effected, Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue Blair has informed
the public buildings commission.
Commissioner Blair has recommend
ed to the commission. it became
known today, that provision be made
for fireproof internal revenue build
ing containing not less tran 700. 900
square feet. The estimated cost of
such building, he said, was about
$2,500,O00
The annual saving of a million dol
lars, Mr. Blair said, can be made in
personnel and increased efficiency. I
feel safe in saying that the annual
appropriation for the bureau Of in
ternal revenue can be curtailed
$l,00o,o00 beginning with the occu-
pancy Of the new building
The bureau of internal revenue now
mex No. 2, at 14th and B streets
northwest, and building c, at 10th
and b streets northwest, are fiimslly
constructed war buildings, which are
repidly deteriorating. Other locations
are Pennsylvania. avenue and Madi-
son place northwest. the Interior
building, at 18th and f. streets north
west; the auditors building, at 14th
and * streets southwest. and 9Th and
b streets southwest. Offices Of the
commissioner and of two deputy com
missioners are in the TrcaSurr build
ing. Commissioner Blair, declares
that this condition not only inter
feres with the proper administrative
control and conduct OF the bureau,
but it is a source Of great inconven-
ience to taxpayers. If the bureau. he
said, were placed in a. building
adapted to its purposes. the work not
only could be handled more expe
lditiously, efficiently and economically,
but danger of loss and displacement
of records would be reduced to a
minimum.
Col. c. o. Sheriff. superintendent of
public buildings and grounds, has in
dorsed the bureaus need for a build
ing, and declares it to be as great as
lif not greater than the need for d
national archives building.

BRIEF SUPPORTS
WOMAN WAGE LAW
Constitution Not Violated,
Argues Corporation Coun-
sci Stephens.

A brief supporting the constitu-
tionality OF the District of Columbia
minimum wage law for women and
children has been filed in the United
States Supreme Court by Corporation
Counsel Stephens and Felix Frank
furter of counsel, assisted by Mary
w. Dawson, research secretary OF
the National Consumers League, in
the case of the minimum wage board
against the Children's Hospital and
others. The brief and appendices
cover 1,1o0 printed pages.
The questions raised IN the case
are, first, the jurisdiction OF the
Court of Appeals; second, the consti-
tutionality Of the minimum wage
law. AS to the jurisdiction of the
Court of Appeals. the brief contends
that only the Court of Appeals as a
court, and not Justice Robb as an
individual member of the court, had
power to pass on the Jurisdiction OF
Justice Stafford to participate In tho
disposition of the original motions
for rehearing.
Contends Stafford In Member.
1t is contended In the brief that
Justice Stafford. by lawful designa-
LlOn, WAS a menO6r OF the Court OF
Appeals for purposes OF these cases
and continued to be such a member
until the full and final disposition Of
the cases, including motions for re-
hearing, which he was designated to
hear and decide.
On the question Of constitutionality
of the minimum wage act the brief
contends: The presumption to be
accorded an act of Congress-that 1t
be respected unless transgressfon OF
the Constitution is shown beyond a.
rational doubt amply sustairis the
law, particularly in view of the cir
cumstances of its enactment. Con-
gress by this legislation aimed at
ends that are legitimate and within
the scope Of the Constitution. The
means selected by Congress are an
propriate and plainly adapted to ac-
compltsh these ends.
Rights No Prohibition.
1t contends that no rights Of the
plaintiffs secured under the Constitu-
tion prohibit the use Of these an
propriate means 50 adopted by Con-
gress to accomplish these legitimate
ends. 1t Is asserted that "the majori-
ty opinion of the Court of Appeals
erects notions of policy into constitu-
tional prohibition"
The case has been set for hearing
in the week commencing next Mon
day, following cases heretofore set
for that time.

CALLS 1T BUREAUCRATIC,
w. II. Lamar Criticizes Government
Method in Envelope Business

In a long letter to Postmaster General
Work, made public today. William 1T.
Lamar, formerly solicitor for the Post
Office Department, declared that 'the
manner in which the envelope business
is conducted by the government tends
toward the establishment Of a govern
ment monopoly in certain classes of en-
velopes, to the exclusion. practically, of
private enterprises in those lines'
Mr.. Lamar. in his letter, asserted that
'this is a bureaucratic tendency which
for many years has cropped out in the
various branches Of the federal and
state governments" He insisted that the
arguments Of the bureau Of the third
assistant postmaster general In favor Of
the use Of the printed stamped envei-
opes furnished by the government be
carefully considered by the Postmaster
General ct this HmsS
