DISTRICT NATIVES
WE'D 81 YEARS AGO
Or. and Mrs. Richard S. Law.
rensOn Were Married
in 1868.

SiXty-one years GO today a hashful
bride and a nervous bridegroom, in
the presence of a small company OF
friends and relatives at Mckendree
Methodist Episcopal Church, took a
solemn VOW to stick by each other
until death did them part.
The Civil War passed them by and
peace found them still lovers. Came.
in succession. the Indian wars. the
Mexican campaign, the Spanish Amer
lean conflict, the World War-they
watched them all come and go. yet
still without a domestic disaster Of
their own.
Today. in modest little home at
109ia X street. the bashful bride and
nervous bridegroom sat quietly and
looked back over the six decades Of
their marital companionship and
smiled contentedlv. They felt they
had right TO be happy. for through
more than fivescore and ten years
during which momentous battles
ragged in the family of nations. they
had complaceutly walked. arm in
arm. along the pathway OF domestic
tranquility and parenthood and laughed
at Father Time.
Pinymates at school.
on December s. 1863. Rev. William
Mitchell pronounced Caroline +.
Brown and Richard s Lawrensou
man and wife. Before their marriage
they had been playmates at school
and members of the same church
Both were native-born residents of
the District. They We're pals in their
early youth, and they are the same
old pals today.
Mrs Lawrenson. Furthermore is Just
as modest and bashtul now as she
was then, SO much SO in fact thai
che did not wish to see anything in
the papers about herself And DR..
Lawrenson, who. in explaining why
he did not want much written about
their anniversary, let fall few words
he didn't intend TO, is probably a
little nervous today, just as he was
81 years ago at the altar.
Issues Brief @Statemcnt.-
In accordance with DR.. I.awrenson.s
request, The Star is printing here
with the husbands own brief story:
"Dr. Il. ;. Lawrenson and wife
native residents of Washington. were
married 81 years ago today, Decen Der
), 1868. They are probably the oldest
couple in point of martial longevity
in the District who are lifelong resi-
dents. There may be there are some
who have been married this number
of years and have removed to other
communities, Or who were married
elsewhere and moved here.
DIR. Lawrenson and wife reside at
l091 y h street"
Dr. Lawrenson added verbally that
he was retired four years ago from,
the Post Office Department after IS
years of service. There would be no
celebration or visitors at his home
today, he declared.

Cautions Policy Urged.

These bills introduced in Congress
would set up great Federal over
head agency and secondary boards Of
control, and would have these bodies
assume control of a number of highly
important activities such as the dis
semination of market news. service
which is already carried on efficiently
by the Federal Department of Agri-
culture, and which in the interest of
the farmers should be kept in the
control of a we'll organized. impartial
permanent Government department
devoted TO the service of agriculture
and free from entansling business
alliances.
The relationship OF the Govern
ment to cooperation should be one Of
service. 1t should help the farmers
market their crops just IS it helps
them to produce crops, not by doing
the work, but by supplying informa-
tion which the farmers cannot get for
themselves. To go further would be
to- injure rather than aid the coop
erative movement"

The jottings on the fourth day show
the increase Of the delirium. Some

In his delirious condition he stuck to
his work In the tunnel. though he was
scarce able to drag himself about.
As the sickness grew on him, the
light-headed intervals became more
frequent. In one of these II occurred
to him that he had struck high-grade
ore and he filled his pockets with
samples taken from the cave-in. There
was no sequence to his thoughts. They
came in flashes without logical con-
nection. II became, for instance, a
arm obsession that the pipe running
through the tunnel was a telegraph
wire by means Of which he could COM
municate with the outside world II the
operator would only stay on duty.
But his interest In the matter was In
termittent.
1t is suggestive OF his condition that
when Moya's answer came to his seven
taps he took 1t quite as a matter OF
course.
'.The son Of a Greaser Is back on
the Job at last" he said aloud without
the least excitement. Now. I'll get
that breakfast I ordered"
He crawled back to the foot OF the
shaft in a childish, absurd confidence
that the food he craved would soon be
sent down to him. While he waited,
Jack fell into light sleep where he
lost himself In fancies that voiced
themselves in incoherent snatches Of
talk.

Moreover, the effect of the pres

Dealing with the subject OF
agriculture, the President in.
formed Congress that he did not

He insisted that each must pro-

securing admission of members
Of their own families.
Mr.. Coolidge suggested that
the national laws governing the
choice Of members Of the Con-
gress should be extended to in
clude appropriate representation
Of the respective parties at the
ballot box and equality Of repre-
sentation on the various registra-
ton boards. wherever they exist"
Referring TO reforms in the jul
dietary. the Chief Executive re-
commended that provision be
made for the appointment Of q
commission. TO consist Of two or
three members Of tho Federal ju-
dietary and as many members Of
the bar, to examine the present
criminal code Of procedure and
recommend TO the Congress meas
ures which may reform and ex-
pedite court procedure in the adj
ministration and enforcement Of
our criminal laws" He also IA
vored the establishment Of q ma
tional police bureau which would
be helpful in the prevention and
detection of crime.
OF matters relating to the Civil
Service. the President urged that
first. second. and third class
postmasters, and without cover
ling in the present membership
the field force OF prohibition en-
forcement, should be brought
within the classified service by
statute law" Quite pithily. the
President remarked that what
ever its defects. the merit system
is certainly TO be preferred to
the spoils system"
i Though nobody expects the
present Congress to deal with the
question, the President renewed
his demand for legislation cover
ing reorganization of federal de-
partments.
Dealing with national defense
. and foreign affairs. the President
. indicated that he was not very
: much impressed with reports Of
) the magnitude Of military equip
: ment Of other nations. He feels
E that ANY nation undertaking to

Legion regarding disqualification
of the veterans of all wars.

nomic equality. The Government
can not successfully insure pros
perity or fix prices by Legislative
fat"
Mr.. Coolidge pointed out that
mostly by his own effort the
farmer has decreased the cost
production" Emphasizing his OPP
position to a system Of price-fx-
ing or subsidies to agriculture by
the Government. the President
said that the farmer has been
brought to a parity with the rest
of the nation through normal
and natural application of econo-
mic laws. He explained to the
Congress that the Agricultural
Commission which he assembled
recently would have some def
mite recommendations as to le-
gislative measures helpful to the
farmers in time for action at this
session.
The recommendation was made
that Congress should continue ne
gotiations looking to the sale of
Muscle Shoals properties to pri-
vate interests. Indirectly refer
ring to Henry Ford's withdrawal
of bids. the President was inclin-
ed to believe that no one of the
interested parties had given final
terms.
The Chief Executive reiterated
his views that the consolidation
of railways was essential to the
development Of transportation
systems. He recommended that
the consultations be carried out
with due regard to the public in
terest. The opinion was expires,
sed that several changes should
be made relating 10 the merchant
marine. In proposing the reor
ganization Of the Shipping Board
Mr.. Coolidge said: The immedi
ate requirement is to transfer in
to the Emergency Fleet Corpora
tion the whole responsibility o.
operation Of the fleet and othel
property, leaving to the Shipping
Board solely the duty Of deter
mining certain major policie
which require deliberative &C
