essary for the proper administration
of municipal affairs.
At the next meeting or the District
committee an effort will be made 10
weed out the measures that the com.
being passed by the House without a
wrangte, and the others sidetracked
temporarily.
In making this proviso that the
District committee fix up such u
schedule of bills it believes can be
passed House Leader Longworth is In
no sense discriminating against this
committee but rather granting 1t spe-
cial consideration. Other major COM
mittees of the House have to consult
with the House leader and the steer
ing committee regarding some one
particular bill they want to get
through. while in this case Leader
Longworth is wiling to support a
whole program. In this connection
it must be remembered that his Job
and that of the steering committee is
primarily to see that the most i'm
portant measures are passed in the
order of their relative Importance or
special urgency.
Three Obstacles.
Heretofore three things have stood
In the way of getting District legis-
lat!on through the House-(D a dis
position to set District day aside.
(2) habit Of using District day for
general debate on all sorts OF sub
jact, entirely unrelated to District
affairs. and ca that the committee
has frequently brought measures up
on the floor on which the committee
was bitterly divided.
Now the situation is changed and
about to be changed still further.
Mr.. Longworth is anxious to pre-
serve the integrity Of District day
and has already shown his willing
ness to give some other day in ex-
change when an emergency = arises
which forces the use Of District day
for consideration of some appropria-
tiCn bill.
1t will be one of the helpful aims
Of the District committee and of the
steering committee in the proposed
conference to stipulate that the time
allowed to the District committee
shall be net" time. with little or
no allowance for general debate, and
that any argument there Is shall be
strictly on the District measures.
The District committee learned in
the passage Of the police and fire.
get legislation by the House when
I the committee was united in sup
port OF it and ready to fight as one
| man for it. That is the reason for
the weeding-out process that is hoped
for at the next meeting-to fix a
program that the whole committee
| will stand behind.
Leaders in Congress and members
OF the District committee are coming
to realize that no good purpose is
served by members knocking the
District in speeches on the floor Of
the House and in criticisms Of Con-
gress by the residents OF the Dis
trict. This is a sincere effort to Gre
ate better feeling. to get needed
legislation through quickly by CO.
operation. and so to expedite the
orderly processes Of general congress

brought in trucks from the western
branch Of the Patuxent river, which
flows just outside the town limits,

They kept constantly at their tasks,
but the water evaporated as fast as

went to the next in an effort to save

where the fire originated were
scorched and scared from the heat.
On the north side of the street was
the telephone exchange, where Miss
Rosa Ridgley, chief operator, and
Miss Virginia Ridgeway, stuck to
their posts summoning aid, until the
building seemed doomed, and they
were ordered out. However, the wind

to their posts and succeeded, with

the hose line, used chemicals in pre-
venting the spread of the blaze, until
the water was turned on.

Outside Aid Appreciated.
After they had completed their duty
the firemen were given dinner at
the town hotel by the citizens, who
were deeply appreciative OF the
