adoption Of resolution embody.

merger Of local transit facilities
viii be planned at the first meet
ing Of the Senate District Com
mittee after the completion Of
reorganization Of committee as
signments in the upper house.
Senator Arthur Capper of Kan
sas, chairman Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, is anxious that
his committee should consider the
matter at an early date and viii
call the resolution to the groups
attention at It's first meeting,
probably early next week.
Night Hearings
The committee has already de-
cided to hold night hearings on
the proposal Of the Public Util-
tiles Commission for a unifica-
tion Of the street car companies,
and it had been planned to hold
these hearings this week. How.
ever, the delay Of the Republican
Committee on Committees in max
ing up the new Republican as
SignmentS has held this, as well
as most other District matters, in
allegiance.
Senator Capper also is chair
man Of the subcommittee on pub
lie utilities, and it is possible that
when the full committee meets
it may decide to delegate to this
subcommittee the task of holding
the hearings and preparing q re-
port on the measure.
Senator King Returns
The delay which has thus far
marked the taking up Of the
merger proposal has had one re.
suit, that Of holding up the mat.
ter until Senator william II.
King Of Utah, who has been seri.
ously i'll for several weeks. could
be on hand to participate in the
deliberations.
King has now returned to his
Senate seat after taking s. sea
voyage for his health, ans 1t is
expected that he will play an i'm
portant part in the merger con-
Sideration.

SHAW MAY HEAD
COUNTY BOARD
IN NMONTG GOMERY

SILVER SPRING. Nd, Sept. 10.
II, as, and when the regular Demo
cratic ticket is selected In the No.
Vember elections. Lacy Shaw, Of
the Colesville district of Mont
gomery county, win be made presi-
dent of the board of county COM
I1issioners. He received an over.
whelming majority In the septem-
Der 8 primaries. He is 43 years
old, and is said to be a striking
example Of a self-made man.
1t was admitted before the
primaries that q great many
voters cast their ballots for the
regular organization ticket for the
reason that so many important
public Improvement projects are
under way they felt that the
present administration should not
be interfered with in the consllrI1-
nation of these plans.
Those Of the most consequence,
1t was said, are the completion Of
the new county courthouse at
Rockville, the construction of
which is now well under way: the
extension of mississippi Avenue
from its present end at the Dis
trict Line towards Potomac as the
growing development of that sec
ton demands. Some work will be
done on this project with the next
appropriation. The major public
Improvement will be the conver.
sion of the Montgomery county ex-
tension Of Rock Greek Park into
q gigantic pleasure ground, IN
which it is intended to embrace a
large lagoon with lighthouses and
water gardens, a canoe channel,
bride paths. Fairgrounds that
will include o baseball diamond,
picnic grove. A golf course is
planned. Miles of improved high
ways will make this park accessi-
BILE in all directions.
Although the route has not
been definitely agreed upon by
the people Of Takoma Park, Md,
the east and west highway con-.
Meeting Silver Spring and Bethesda
will be extended to Takoma Park,
In all probability by way Of
Philadelphia Avenue out OF. Silver
Spring, it was said yesterday.
The completion of this line in
the cross-county highway system
viii enable traffic to pass from
Great Falls, via Bethesda, Silver
Spring, Takoma Park, Hyattsville
and the Defense Highway TO
Annapolis.
1t was further said that the
extension northward of Sixteenth
street and the connecting Of Co
lllnbia Boulevard with this ex-
tension Is in q fair way to be-
come a reality within q short
time.
with the regular Democratic
organization in complete control
of these projects. 1t was said
active steps will be taken by the
incoming board Of county COM
miSsioners to grant the necessary
authorizations. where necessary,
i'm all of these proposed under
takingS.

Almost as interesting the Easter celebration
in Jerusalem is that in another Old world city
Rome Italy, There cross is erected in the CEN
ter of the Colosseum. where SO many Christian
martyrs suffered death because of their fath and
impressive services are held around this dur
ing Easter week, especially on Good Friday.
In the United States the idea of open air sunrise
services on Easter morning have been gaining
steadily during the recent years. 1t originated in
California and the first service of this kind was
held III 1909 on the summit of Mount Rubidoux,
near Riverside where stands cross erected to
the memory Of Fra JuniperO Sierra, the pious
Franciscan monk who first brought the cross to
California and founded the missions in that state.
Jacob Rs, the famous writer. is said to have
first conceived the idea of an Easter sunrise serv-
ice on Mount Rubidoux during visit to Riverside,
and it is said to have sprung from recollection
of his childhood in Denmark when his people
were accustomed to make pilgrimage at Yue-
tide to the summit Of venerated mountain near
by, singing Christmas carols as they went.
On Easter morning 81 years ago little group
of less than hundred people made their way up
the slopes of the mountain from Riverside in the
be held Just at sunrise. The first service was
brief one simple but sincere and impressive. But
as Riis had predicted the religious feeling brought
about by an Easter sunrise service left an i'm
preston which guaranteed its continuance. Each
year thereafter the interest and attendance at
this service grew. In 1917 more than 10000 per
sons assembled the summit of Rubidoux at Easter
tide and the next year saw the same number of
pilgrims there They had come not only from
Riverside, but from other cities in California.
Other notable Easter morning services in Cal
ifornia, each of which attracts thousands of wor-
shippers, are those in the great Los Angeles coli
scum, in the Hollywood bowl, at the Tower of
Legends in Glendale and in Pasadena. AT Stove
Pipe Wells in the famous Death valley cross
has been erected and there services are held on
Easter morning in memory of the pioneers who
lost their lives on the desert.
Every year thousands of people attend an East
err sunrise service in the Garden of the Gods near
Colorado Springs, Colo. and in the Wichita noun
tains of southwestern Oklahoma for the last four
or five years a sunrise service has been held on
the summit of one of the rugged granite hills. The
chief feature of the service is the Pageant OF the
Resurrection, presented by fifty members OF the
Sunday school of Medicine Park.

the Orthodox church and representatives of others
obtain permission from the Orthodox patriarch by
proceeding to the Orthodox altar and doing obei-
sance. Franciscan monk is present throughout
the ceremony.
First the Armenian patriarch passes in process
sion around the rotunda and retires; then the
Moslem guardian of the Holy Sepulcher, in the
presence of one Orthodox and one Armenian archi-
mandrite exercises his traditional privilege of
sealing the doors of the Sepucher.
Eat noon the representatives Of the other
churches do Obeisance, before the altar of the
Catholicon, to the Orthodox patriarch, who awaits
them vested in white and gold with a crown of
gold scintillating with enamel and precious stones
upon his head.
"About this time groups of young men enter the
rotunda through the Orthodox Catholcon, clap
ping their hands and singing.
1.-THE actual service now commences with the
procession of the patriarch from the Orthodox
Catholicon, preceded by Is banners borne by rep
resentatives of leading Orthodox families. They
circle the rotunda,. through the throng, three
times then all except the patriarch retire to the
Orthodox cathedral. He, disrobed of inter and
vestments before the doors of the Sepulcher
enters, accompanied by the Armenian bishop. The
Copt and Syriac take position before the doors.
'"Tense excitement prevails. All eyes are fixed
upon the Tomb. Voices are lifted up The crowd
holding candles aloft presses forward, wave upon
wave, self-restraint thrown away. The seconds
seem long-drawn-out minutes.
Suddenly an Orthodox priest waiting without
the shrine with a mighty sweep, withdraws his
arm from hole in the edicule, holding burning
torch The flame appears from the Armenian side
also.
"The burst of flame is greeted with frantic
cheering, the capping of hands, the ringing of
bells and high, piercing Mutations from the wom-
en-. The priest gives the fire to selected repre-
sentative of the community, and the crowd opens
to allow him to rush with the sacred fire and
light the lamps on the altar of the Catholicon.
1.-THE Copt and Jacobite enter the door of the
Sepulcher and receive the fire from the Orthodox
patriarch, who then emerges followed by the Ar
menian bishop, flaming torch in each hand, the
focus for converging crush of worshipers, fran.

Egyptian Marriage Contracts

Marriage contracts were in vogue
among early Egyptians, according to
tablets found in the Nile region by
explorers The earliest known nup-
tial contract there dates from 800
B. c., the terms of which were drawn
by the husband. 1t has been trans
lated as follows: "Since God willeth
that we should unite one with the
other in righteous wedlock, after the
manner of every free man and every
wise woman, therefore l have given
thee four dollars in gold as bridal
gift. And for my part 1 will not
neglect thee. Neither shall l put
thee forth without cause, having
legal ground. But should I wish to
put thee forth, l will pay seventeen
dollars for the matter"

FAMILY DOCTOR
LEARNED THIS ABOUT
CONSTIPATION

Or. Caldwell loved people. His
years of practice convinced him
many were running their health by
careless selection of laxatives. He
determined to write a harmless pre-
scription which would get at the
cause of constipation, and correct it.
Today, the prescription he wrote
in 1885 is the worlds most popular
laxative! He prescribed a mixture
of herbs and other pure ingredients
now known as DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin, in thousands of cases where
bad breath, coated tongue, gas,
headaches, biliousness and lack of
appetite or energy showed the
bowels of men, women and children
were sluggish. 1t proved successful
in even the most obstinate cases;
old folks liked it for it never gripes;
children liked its pleasant taste.
All drugstores today have DR..
