Miss Welty with her father and

after their arrival Miss Welty
set about forming a Sunday school
which children and grown-ups
could attend regardless Of creed.
Fifteen Original Members
On the Welty homestead was a
large chicken coop and with the
help of her sisters the building
was cleaned and made ready for
the first service, which was held
on May Z, 1884. Fifteen persons
from the New Salem and Wood
point communities attended the
first service. This effort for Bible
instruction attracted the attention

Henry weinberg, local theater pro-
prietor, who purchased a lot and
contributed financially toward the

BANKROBBERS

Washington police we're warned
to be on the lookout today for five
robbers who today were believed
to be headed in this direction
after staging a $4,000 bank hold
up in Chester, Pa, yesterday.
Maryland State police also
hunted the quintet, whose aban-
doned automobile was found at
Yeadon, Pa, some time after the
robbery.
The gangsters invaded a branch
Of the Delaware County National
Bank and scooped up the $48, 900
in currency, escaping easily.
Leaving one man in the car, the
gunner casually entered the bank,
drew pistols and trained them on
the three clerks, warning that they
would shoot if there was the
slightest resistance.
AS they fled in a stolen automo-
bile, the clerks flashed an alarm,
but Chester police arrived too
late. A description of the men
I'd the car was broadcast.

LINCOLN ROAD
PLANNED

A giant parkway-highway con-
Meeting the Lincoln Memorial in
this city with the battlefield at
Gettysburg. was started today in
President Roosevelt's office when
he called together for the first
time the recently created commits
sion to make plans for such a
super-highway of memorial char
acter.
The project has the endorsement
of Congress and the States of
Maryland and Pennsylvania
whose Jurisdictions are represented
on the commission which met
today.
Commissioners Hazen and Sui
tan, Senator Guffey, of PennSyl-
vania; Representative HaineS. OF
Pennsylvania: Senator Tydings, of
Maryland, and Representative
Lewis, of the same State, will
have an active part in laying out
the new memorial highway.
Other members of the commits
sion include President Roosevelt,
Vice President Garner, T. H. Mac
Donald, chief of the Bureau Of
Public Roads. also chairman Of
the commission; Frederic A.
Delano, vice chairman; Clarence
Phelps Dodge, Arno Cammerer,
chief of the National Park Service,
and Speaker ByrnS.
Tentative plans indicate that
the Government wants to build
one of the finest memorial higlr.
ways in this or any other country.
Instead of a commercial roadway,
the Gettysburg-Lincoln highway
will follow the general character
of the boulevard to Mt. Vernon
and will, no doubt, follow a new
route. Existing highways appear
to be out of present consideration.
The cost of the highway will be
high up in the millions and will
depend on the route followed.
It is understood that existing
road funds will be used to pay for
the construction.

SCI DAY TERM,
RECORD OF
CONGRESS

Continuation Of the present ses
sion of Congress until August Is
would bring 1t into the ranks OF
the longest sessions. If ad
journed at the expected date, ii
will have run 225 days, compared
with the present average of ZIG
days for the ITO preceding ses
SionS.
Usually, long sessions have sig
nified elaboration over extraor'
binary legislative decisions. But
the first New Deal session was
completed in 100 days, having put
through recovery bills covering
supervision of industry, regulation
of agriculture, banks and rail
roads, protection of labor, de-
valuation of currency, starting
public works and setting up iva
power development.
The. second New Deal Congress
finished in 1877 days, more than
a month under the average.
First Session 21O Days
The first session Of the United
States Congress, held in New
York beginning with March 4,
1889, was also under the later
average-only 210 dayS-though
concerned with amendments to
the Constitution.
OF all SittingS, the longest-a
special session that doVetailed into
a regular SesSicn-waS in Presi-
dent Wilson's first administration
Congress was steadily on duty
for more than a year and half,
SGT days. Controversies were over
the Under wood competitive
tariff" and the Federal Reserve
Bank System.
Another Long One
OF single sessions, the most eX-
tended was in President Wilson's
second misunderstanding war
time regular session that continued
from December 3, 1917, to be-
yond the Armistice. When it end
ed, November 81, 1918, it had &C.
cupied 354 days.
Next longest among sessions of
Congress came in the reconStruc-
ton period following the Civil
War. 1t opposed President John
sons assumption that reconStruc.
ton was an executive, not a con-
gressional, problem. The Republi-
can Congress was sustained by
the people; seVerer measures
were taken against the South, re-
sulting in sharpened political and
race antagoniSmS.
This 1858 session impeached
President johnson and the Senate
tried and acquitted him. It trans
acted no business subsequent to
July, yet stayed on until Novem-
Der 10, 1868, keeping itself going
simply as "a maneuver in it's feud
with the President"
