DISTRICT DRY BILL
AGAIN TO COME UP
Senate Committee to Begin
Hearings Tuesday on
Howell Measure.

Discussion Of dry enforcement
measure to supplement national pro-
hibition in Washington. which occupied
the spotlight toward the close of the
last Congress, will be resumed when
the Senate District Committee begins
hearings again on the Howell bill at
2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon
Senator HoUell's bill, which is in
tended to correspond in the District of
Columbia with the local enforcement
measures that have been adopted by
many of the States, was reported from
the District Committee at the last ses-
sion and debated from time to time, but
did not reach final vote.
Senator Howell. Republican. of Ne
braska, said today he would explain
the measure at the hearing set for
Tuesday and also stated he would make
every effort to obtain a final vote on
the bill in the Senate this year.
When the Senate took up the bill
last year most of the debate revolved
around a proposed broadening of the
search and seizure law This provision
was modified in the Senate and in re-
introducing his bill this year Senator
Howell has made the changes which
had been agreed to during last years
debate. Senator Howell has explained
that his purpose in regard to the search
and seizure provision is to give the
police a means of preventing boot
leggers from using dwellings as storage
places from which to make deliveries
Most of the debate in opposition to the
bill has been on the search warrant
feature. Other sections of the bill
would give all members of the police
force authority to assist in prohibition
enforcement instead of the limited
number now possessing that jurisdiction

Senator Dale is strongly opposed to
reducing Government salaries at the
present time, but he assured Senator
Borah that he would give prompt con-
Sideration to the bills if they were
referred to his committee.
Aimed at Higher Officials.
The first suggestion was that they
should go to the Finance Committee,
but Senator Dale argued that they
properly belonged in the jurisdiction of
the Civil Service Committee.
While these particular bills are aimed
only at Government officials receiving
$4,000 or more a year, including mem
bers of Congress and the cabinet. the
action of the Senate on them will be
followed with interest by those who
feel it would be a mistake for the
Government to enter upon a program

First Day Of Lenten
Fast Observed Here

Ash Wednesday. the first day of
the Lenten fast, was observed with
special services at st. Marys pro-
cathedral. All liturgical churches OF
the city will mark the Lenten period
with one or more services, although
their discipline does Sot require prac-
-tices of self-denial.
In both the Trinity and First
Lutheran churches members will be
urged to eliminate as many worldly
affairs as possible and to mediate on
the suffering and death OF Christ.
The name Ash Wednesday is found
IN the earliest existing Gregorian
Sacramentary and dates about from
the eighth century. The service of
blessing with ashes as practiced by
the Catholic church requires the
faithful to approach the altar before
the beginning of the mass when the
priest marks them with burnt ashes
upon the forehead with the sign of
the cross, saying the words, "Remem-
Der man that thou art dust, and to
dust thou shalt return" The ashes
used in this ceremony are made by
burning the remaining palms left
from the previous Palm Sunday.
st. Mary'S pro-cathedral ashes were
blessed Wednesday before the masses
at and 8 o'clock.
