This structure, which Is now generally
referred to as the Lincoln Cottage,
stands directly back of the big flag
pole near the Eagle gate and imme-
diately west of Scott Tower. The To-
cation is one of the highest in the
District, and from it can be obtained
an excellent view across the city,
which, resting beside the winding
river, appears to lie far below. The
building itself is a modest one, In the
beginning it was part of the Riggs es-

as quarters by some of the inmates
of the home.

poet, noted many things around
Washington in his Specimen Days, one
of the most interesting of which tells
of seeing Lincoln riding back and

young male boy wondering
should they get him a horse or a
bicycle for a birthday present. those
being the 2 articles which he had
expressed a desire for and they could
not afford to give him both. They
inquired amongst all the parents
nearby of which they seemed to be
a great number and the opinions was
split about even, most of. the mothers
declaring in favor of the horse and
most of the fathers choosing the bi-
cycle, which proves what l have al
ways contended namely that girls
will be girls.
The arguments put forth by the
horse fanciers was in substance as
follows:
/. That a horse gets attached to
you and vice versa, whereas while
you may learn to love a bicycle the
last named don't never reciprocate.
.. A horse lasts a whole lot longer
than a bicycle.
3. A horse is a pet vile a bicycle

ORDER
 STILL EFFECTIVE
Injunction in Coal Mine District
 Continued

Wheeling, W. Va, June :. (AP)-- A temporary injunction granted the West Virginia Pittsburgh Coal Co.,, several weeks ago restraining offi- cials of the United Mine Workers from organizing non-union miners of the concern in the Panhandle coal district was continued in force today by Federal Judge w. E. Baker after section dealing with union meet ings had been eliminated.
 A decision as to whether the in- junction will be made permanent will not be given until after final ar- guments, the court said, the law providing for a lapse of 140 days be- fore these arguments can be re- ceived.
 In continuing in force the tenn porary restraining order, which pro- hibits peaceful picketing activities by the miners union at the com pany's mines. Judge Baker overruled union motion to dissolve the in- junction as modified to permit union meetings to be held, he ruled that the restraining order was similar in detail to the Hitchman injunction case, which was decided by the United States supreme court in favor of the Hitchman Coal company.
 After Judge Baker read his decis- ion attorneys representing 19 other West Virginia coal companies pre- pared to present arguments in their application for an injunction against the miners union. These compan- lies seek to restrain the union from organizing activities, charging a con- spiracy between the union and op- orators in the central competitive coal fields to interfere with inter- state commerce.
 The injunction continued in force by Judge Baker names John L. Lewis. president of the United Mine Workers and a number of district officers of the union. Its provisions restrain the union officers from in- terfering with the company's work CTS for the purpose of unionizing it's mines without its consent; from en- ticing its employees 10 leave the company service because it operates non-union, and from trespassing or the company's grounds or pickeuns near its mines for the purpose of persuading or intimidating the em- ployes to break their contract of service.
 The clause eliminated in modi- fication granted by Judge Baker would have restrained the union of- ficers from advertising meetings or by any means inducing the com panys employees to attend meetings for the purpose of attempting to persuade them 10 break their con- tract of service.
 During the arguments on the in junction 1t was brought out that the West Virginia Pittsburgh Company operating non-union, has contracts with it's miners to work as non union employees.
