The idea of the purchasers of this site, "for
the purpose Of erecting q place of worship
which should be home for Methodists from
all sections of the country who might be called
here on business pleasure" appealed to the
General Conference, and 1t was decided to
make this church "connectional enterprise"
At the Baltimore Conference in May, 1853, the
Rev. Henry Slicer D. D., was appointed its
agent for the Metropolitan Church, the agent
for the District of Columbia, or selected by
the eight movers of the project, being Rev.
r. l.. Dashiell.
These men were all members of Wesley
Chapel, an oblong building erected in 1929
and located at the southwest corner of Fifth
and streets northwest, but which was re-
placed In 1856 by the structure that now
occupies that corner. The Rev. William Ed
wards was pastor there in 1850.
TN circular addressed: ITO the Members
and Friends of the Methodist Episcopal
Church." and dated Baltimore, March 16 1853,
the character of the people to be served by
the church then proposed is clearly defined
when 1t says:
THE erection of such church would neces-
sarDy be more expensive than ought to be borne
by our brethren in Washington, and they there
fore, solicit the aid of our friends abroad This
they do the more confidently because the house

removed. 1t remains today the most lofty and
most beautiful church spire in Washington,
and few cities even now can boast of one as
high or as pleasing to the eye.
So, frequently, our surroundings are like our
friends and acquaintance. We fail to note
their beauty and their virtues until they are
no longer with us, and then we take their
absence seriously, as We shall this old churchs
bells and its spire, and long for their return,
for losing this old church Is indeed Just like
losing an old friend
THERE are many people in Washington who
are older than this cherished old landmark,
the corner stone Of which was laid on October
%, 1854 Even the ground was not purchased
upon which to put the edifice until March 80.

extreme life from its very inception when
Charles w. Boteler, William G. Deale, Charles
H. Lane, Samuel Norment, DR.. Flodoardo
Howard, Thomas Purcell, Thomas H. Havenner
and z. w. McKnew, members of old Wesley
Chapel at Fifth and streets northwest, pur-
chased the property upon which 1t stands.
OF the lots upon which the church is built,
one was purchased from John c. McKelden and
the other from Joseph Davis and George H.
Garrett. In 1912 the ground belonged to
William Gadsby, from whom 1t went-through
trustees sale-to Johnson HELEN, William
Fisher and Lewis Johnson.

Bad debts constitute q considerable
item in the returns of many taxpayers
and may be treated in one or two
ways-either by deduction from gross
income in respect to debts ascertained
to be worthless in whole or in part or
by deduction from a reasonable reserve
for bad debts.
Permission to adopt the reserve
method is limited to taxpayers having
a large number Of accounts where
credit has been extended to cover
considerable portion Of time. 1t Is not
granted for the purpose Of handling
one specific debt.
What constitutes a reasonable addi
ton" to q reserve for bad debts must
be determined in light Of the facts, and
will vary as between classes OF business
and with conditions of business pros
perity. A taxpayer using the reserve
method should show in his return the
of charge sales COR other bust
ness transactions) for the year, and
the percentage of the reserve to such
the total amount of notes and
accounts receivable at the beginning
and end of the taxable year, and the
total amount of debts ascertained to
be worthless and charged against the
reserve during the taxable year.

SMALL LOANS EXPECTED
TO PROVE BUSINESS AID

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 1.-The severity
of any business recession during 1890
and the consequent unemployment will
be materially lessened through the
more than $500,000,000 available for
loans to wage earners, in the opinion
of Pierre e. BONN, president Of Clar-
ence Hodson & Co., who states that
this vast amount Of credit now held
by the small loan companies of the
country will keep up spending where
in former years business often came TO
a standstill during times of depression.
Abundant consumer credit" says Mr..
BONN, has never before been available
during periods of unemployment and
the poor man consequently had to SO
curtail his expenditures that it was
Immediately reflected in business con-
ditions. Personal needs are now financed
through the chains of small loan COM
panies throughout the country in much
the same way that commercial banks
have always financed the business

FORT MYERS, Fla, April l. Connie Mack expects his world champion Athletics to have much harder fight this year than last.
 we won IT games from Wash ington in 1929. Such a feat was entirely unexpected and is not tc be counted on this year. That margin, however, gave us big jump on the Yankees last year, and was great help in our winning o1 the pennant.
 T feel that I must fight over confidence among my players. You know how it is-a team wins the Ipennant and then the world series The following spring the players get to thinking they merely will have to walk out on the field and the opposition will curl up. As a result they have to be beaten a few times by weaker clubs before they come back to earth.
 ''The Athletics must play better ball to win the pennant than they did year ago. If we play only as well as in 1929 we never will fin ish in first place for every club in the league has been strengthened which will make it just so much harder for us to repeat.
 Tt will not be runaway race for any club. Naturally I believe the Yankees will be our principal opponent but they as well as we are going to run up against stiffer opposition than in 1929. Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis and Chicago are going to be tough while Washington and Boston, the clubs that we fat tened on year ago, are not going to prove such soft pickings this season.
 "As for my own club, I am con- fident I will have more infield re- serve strength as intend to re- tain First Baseman Keesey from Portland, Williams, the young sec- ond baseman from Little Rock and McNair, the shortstop from Knox vile. Tarr, my rookie third base man from Nebraska, also looks good but I may have to place him out on option for a year.
 "In the main, the pitching staff will be the same as last year except that I hope to have at least two of the new men with us all season. Mahaffey of Portland should be able to help us. And, say, Howard Ehmke may be able to pitch a game every week He says he will and I am hoping he is not mis- taken"

Last year when the major league teams trotted out for their opening games after the band-playing. and flag-raising, quick check of the situation disclosed exactly ten re- cruits making their debut in the regular lineup. This comprised only the players of no previous ma- jor league experience, the sur N.vor5 of at least 200 ambitious youngsters given trials in the train ing camps.
 The chances are that no more than ten rockies, though possibly as many as dozen, will win the dis tinction of starting as regulars in the 1920 pennant races. It takes phenomenal work by a newcomer to turn the trick Many of those lucky enough to make impressive starts are not fortunate enough to finish as regulars.
 Here are the few players most likely to step into the spotlight April IS as regulars, on the basis of what they have shown in camp:
 Pittsburgh-Gus Suhr first base.
 New York Yankees-Ben Chap man, third base; Allen Cooke, out field.
 New York Giants-Marshall sec- ond base.
 Detroit-Elias Funk, outfield Bill Rogell, shortstop; George Rensa, catcher. CFunk and Rogell were up with other clubs)
 St. Louis Browns-Fred Bennett, outfield.
 Boston Braves-W alter Berger, outfield.
 Boston Red Sox-Tom Oliver, out field; Bill Sweeney. first base.
 Chicago White Sox-Smead Jol- ley, outfield; Irving Jeffries, in- field.
 Brooklyn-Alfonso Lopez, catcher.
 This list does not include the pitching prospects, which are more difficult to make any forecast about until they have been put to actual test. Among the twirling new corners who seem slated for regular employment are Mahaffey, Ath- letics; Moss, Nelson and Teachout, Cubs: Gomez and Polli, Yankees; Hogsett and Wyatt, Tigers; Frasier, White Sox; Lindsey, Cardinals; Campbell, Reds.
 There was time when a gentle toss of 50 feet with the 16-pound shotput was good enough to win in nine out of ten track meets. Now adays it appears hardly enough to gain even a place in the scoring column.
 John Kuck pushed the worlds shotput record beyond 52 feet in the 1928 Olympics but Herman Erik, Harlow Rothert and Eric Krenz, three of the Pacific Coast lads with bulging biceps, are in aot pursuit of this record
 Rothert, Erik and Krenz, in dual meet at Stanford, recently put on the greatest shot-putting exhi- bition since the Olympics when they registered heaves of 51 feet, inches, 51:41a and 51:0oB, respec- lively. Rothert's toss, within i've inches of Kucks worlds record, was the best of his career. Erik later surpassed 51 feet again to win the national indoor title. Krenz nas done better than ever before With a mark of 51 feet, 7l5 inches thls Spring, in addition to l6o feet with the discus.
