DIJR|STS
House Committee, in Favor
able Report on Bill, Urges
Its Passage

Enactment of the bill which was
introduced this week, granting
substantial salary increases to
judges Of United Stateg and Dis
trict courts, was recommended in
a report submitted to the House
today by the judiciary committee.
The committee, in its report, de-
clared that the stability Of our
system Of government depends
largely on the character and wis
dom Of its judges, and adequate
salaries should be provided to at
tract the ablest men Of the coun-
try.
Must Pay for Services.
The bill provides the following in
creases for judges Of court within
the District OF Columbia:
United States Supreme Court,
chief justice, from $4,000 to $780,
500; associate Justices, $4,000 to
$4,000; court Of claims, chief JUS
tice. $4,000 to $4,000; associate

justice, $500 to $13,500: associates.
$500 to $4,000.

reasonable to expect men who have
proved their worth In legal practice
will surrender large incomes for
the mere honor Of a iudgeship.
AT the present time the service
which has increased so seriously in
volume in recent years, is entitled
to greater compensation than ever
before, both because OF its increas-
ing Importance and because Of the
value Of established salary"

PRESBYTER|ANS
To RENOvATE
OLD CHURCH
Historic Alexandria Edifice
Closed for 20 Years-One OF
Cradles of CalVinism

weather-beaten and SCARED by
the hand Of time, but proudly rear
ing its head above the rooftops Of
Alexandria, stands the historic
First Presbyterian Church Of the
old Virginia city.
For forty years the ancient edi.
flee has been neglected and allowed
to go to seed, despite the fact that
the building is OF sturdy construc-
ton and could be renovated to
serve the Presbyterian population
of Alexandria for many years.
A number of alert Presbyterians,
realizing that the edifice has by no
means outliVed it's usefulness, and
recognizing that in the old First
Church Is one of the cradles Of
have banded together to map out
plans for the renovation of the
building.
Every Presbyterian in this coun-
try will be invited to contribute
toward the fund which will be ex-
pended in remodelling First Church.
Those in Charge.
A committee is composed Of the
following Presbyterian leaders:
John b. Gordon, chairman; A. K.
Warfield, Joseph Newell, William
A. Moore, jr., Miss Mildred Gala
han, Mrs. S. H. Fields, Henry p.
Thomas, Daniel r. Stansbury and
Miss Lucy M. Graves. The last
two named are among the few
living members of the old First
Church when it closed it's doors in
1886.
Old First Church was established
in 1774. General Washington's
Masonic brethren had a prominent
part in building it, and it was here,
according to RECORDS of the Wash
ACCOMPLISHMENTS Lodge, that the
Masons gathered on December ~,
1899, for the rendition Of funeral
honors to their departed brother
and past master. A few days later
memorial sermons were preached.
Historic Graveyard.
The old graveyard connected with
the church is Of especial interest.
Under the church floor lies the
body of Doctor James Muir, who
officiated at Washington funeral
as chaplain Of Alexandria lodge.
The final days of the Old First
Church Vas an active church body
are recorded in the sketch OF Mrs.
Mary ]. Powell.
1.-The close Of the civil war found
but few Of the old congregation re.
manning. The church continued
under the Northern Assembly with
ministers from that section. The
Southern Presbyterian Church be-
came more popular with the South
ern element and finally as it
seemed impossible for the little
congregation on Fairfax street TO
support a minister-the old church
closed it's doors in 1885,"

WAGE FARMERS BODY
TO KEEP OPEN HOUSE

The National Association of Wage
Farmers will keep open house dur
ing inaugural week at it's headquar-
tiers, Ills Rhode Island avenue

Inaugural visitors are invited TO
visit the home during the week be-
tween the hours of 10 a. m. and 10

these hours. TIE association is

without other than occasional occu-
pancy has not meant the complete
destruction Of the old first church.
1t was sturdily built and with
needed repairs 1t will stand for more
than another century, a landmark
Of the days of George Washington.
Of early Presbyterianism IN Ameri-
ca, and a symbol of an united
North and South unique in the fact
that it remained true to it's northern
traditions in q Virginia community
through the strife Of the civil war,
until the last remaining members
of it's congregation were reluctantly
forced to disband. Now 1t Is by
the urgings Of the descendants Of
the seeding Southern brethren OF
the old first church that the cruInb-
ling steeple Of the ancient edifice
is to rear itself once more to it's
full height and proclaim that there
is no strife-no enmity which can
not be forgotten.

They're not given 20 talking,
But may be seen walking,
To do some kind little white decd.

For their morals have nothing to do

Though I left her far behind me,

There are things that oft remind me,
AS / think from time to time,
OF my lady. quite the fairest.
Who's included In my schemes,
She's the girl i think the rarest,
She's the sweetheart of my dreams.
When the sOngblrds chime their greet

In their heavens from above,
They seem to be repeating
"She's the only one you love-"
When the fairy stars are glowing
And the moonlight casts it's beams
Then I'm longing to be going
To the sweetheart of my dreams.

suggested amendment and proposed
action be deferred until this bill
was ready.
Congressman Tom Blanton of
Texas urged the present bill be
reported when passed without
change. He moved to- discharge
the subcommittee and take the
bill from its hands. This proposal
was voted down after sharp oppo-
sition by Congressman Gibson Of
Vermont and Stalker of New

Congressman Blanton explained
It was the intention to amend the
bill by striking out the provision
giving the chief Of the women's
bureau Independent authority and
the section defining the duties Of
the bureau.
Against "Snap Legislation"
These amendments, If adopted,
would leave the bureau no power
they do not now exercise and would
merely serve to give them legal
standing" Blanton declared.

not jeopardize the bill and stated
