BETHESDA BAPTIST

The Civilizations of Palm Sunday
and Easter remained with Bethes-
da's congregation last Sunday.
Good audiences listened to our
pastor, Rev. w. E. Wellington, de-
liver his message at both morning
and evening services, with music
by the senior choir. More than
usual interest was shown in the
Sunday school session as the su-
perintendent, in reviewing the les
son, brought a new viewpoint that
awakened very lively discussion.

BORDER BRIEFS"

Because of the suspension of
services last Sunday, many of the
members of Border took advantage
of the opportunity to worship with
their many Christian friends of the
other churches in the city. Due to
the delayed return of Rev. and Mrs.
D. P. Young from Chicago, where
they are attending the annual ses-
sions of the Lexington Conference,
there is no report to be presented
in this issue of the SPOKESMAN.
Next week, however, a complete re-
view of the proceedings will be
forthcoming.
The Boys Club, an outgrowth of
the Epworth League, adopted the
name of "Gladiators" at a recent
meeting. Despite the fact that the
basketball season has been closed
for several weeks, the young men
continue to maintain an excellent
interest in and are an integral part
of the church. At this writing they
are formulating plans for the COM
ing diamondban season, and it is
sincerely wished that they repeat
the success they enjoyed in the
North Side Y. M. C. A. Church
Athletic Association basketball
camp align, which saw them
crowned champions. For the bene-
fit Of those who have not already
seen the beautiful trophy en-
blematic of the North Side cham
pionship, it is on display at the
Sumner Sweet Shop, 642 9Th Ave
nue. N.
Sunday morning, April 26th,
services will be held as usual at
HOO a. m, with Rev. Young de-
ivering his initial sermon of the
new Conference Year in his own
distinctive style. 1t is hoped that
a large number of friends and all
members will be present to well

Women and Men Contest

The Progressive and Literary
club of Bethesda Baptist church
proved beyond doubt it's ability to
provide entertainment for its
members and friends in the excit-
ing debate held in the church audi
forum Tuesday night. The sub
ject of the discussion, Resolved,
that women are more useful to the
church than men," Yet, and this
is one for Ripley's Believe It or
Not" the audience decided the de-
bate in favor Of the men. Mrs.
Mae Marshall was the unbiased
chairman of the meeting. Mrs.
Fern Helm, Mrs. Dessa Gresham
and Floyd Maxey upheld the af-
firmative, and were disputed by
Mrs. Estella Sims, Mrs. Ruby
Craig, and w. M. Smith.
After the debate, luncheon was
served by the ladies, who proved
that in this field, at least, they
still held superiority.
The men of Bethesda are pre-
pairing to clinch still further the
decision of Tuesday. On April 20
they are putting on an aIl-men en-
tertainment. They sing, recite, and
otherwise provide the program,
and in addition will clean the
church, cook and serve the dinner,
and wash the dishes afterwards.
All the women will be permitted
to do is to come, be entertained
and fed. The night is Wednesday.
And the women say they wouldn't
miss it for pay.

CANADIAN HOUSE
0.K.'STRADEPAC7
U. S. Reciprocal Agreement
Declared Annexation
Move in Debate.
BY the Associated Press.

OTTAWA, March 1.-THE House
Of Commons last night ratified the
Canadian United States reciprocal
trade agreement by vote of ITS to 80.
The vote followed two weeks Of de-
bate in which Conservatives vigorously
opposed the agreement and Liberals
lent strong support to the reciprocal
treaty.
Premier King brought the discussion
to a conclusion with a changing bell
as observers predicted the majority
vote for ratification.
Upon final approval the agreement
will be the first pact of reciprocity
formally in effect between Canada and
the United States in 10 years. Some
provisions have been in effect since
January l.
The treaty, although formally rati-
ned, now awaits passage by Parlia-
ment of a bill which will put pro-
visions of the agreement into effect.
The House today will begin a re-
view Of the tariff changed in COM
mittee.
The debate ended for the Conserva-
tive opposition in an address by E.
]. Lawson Of Ontario, who predicted
the treaty would lead to Canadians
losing employment.
Liberals greeted with derisive
laughter another of his statements,
in which he asserted lit will only be
a short time until we become one
or more States of the Union"
The premier told the members NO
Canadian treaty of which he had
knowledge had been applauded SO
generously or criticized so ineffec-
lively. One of its main objects, he
said, is to make things easier fol-
the consumer through lowered prices.
Referring to charges the treaty
would break up the British empire
or lead to annexation, the premier
asserted all this kind of argument
this country has listened to for half
century or more"

Among the subjects to be investigat-

SUPREME COURT
GETS GUFFEY CASE
1888 Securities Act Taken
Under Amusement Earlier
in Session.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The fate of another New Deal law
the 1888 securities act-was consigned
to the Supreme Court today after the
statute had been denounced by James
M. Beck, former solicitor general, as
an effort to 'coerce American citizens
to waive constitutional rights"
The court took the case under ad-
visement after hearing three hours Of
argument and then turned to the Guf-
fey act, which seeks to regulate the
soft coal industry through a little
N. r. A."
Seven hours were allotted for the
Guffey argument, to be completed Fri
day, but the court room throng had to
listen to discussion of a minor case
before this controversy could begin.
Beck concluded speech he began
yesterday after the securities act had
been denounced by his colleague,
Harry o. Glasser of Enid, Okla. and
upheld by Solicitor General Stanley
Reed and John J. Burns, general
counsel Of the Securities Commission.
The securities legislation was chal-
lenged unsuccessfully in lower courts
by J. Edward Jones, New York dealer
in oil stock. He undertook to with
draw q registration statement for a
proposed issue Of stock after it had
been filed with the commission. The
commission vainly attempted to COM
pei him TO appear to testify concern
ing the issue.
Beck said the refusal Of the COM
mission to withdraw the statement
was plain case of an abuse of dis
cretion." He added the inquiry had
"inquisitorial possibilities"
He contended the securities and the
Guffey act both delegated Federal
power improperly.

No action on the Sisson bill to re-
peal the "red rider" to the District

Citizens Association, meeting in the
Bradbury Heights Methodist Church.
The measure was suggested for con-
sideration by Harry Weikel, editor of

It was voted to table q request from
the Kenilworth Citizens Association
that the East Washington body reit-
crate its stand taken in April of last
year favoring an airport on the site
OF the old Benning race track. A

such project was felt advisable.

Many Servants Unpaid.
Miss Beatrice A. Clephane, director
Of the Legal Aid Society and presi-
dent Of the Womenis Bar Association,
told the meeting in st. Adams Church
parish hall many Washingtonians do
not pay their servants. Much Of the
society's business Is adjustment Of
small wage cases, she revealed.
Miss Clephane, after tracing the
history Of legal aid societies here and
elsewhere. told of the care that must
be exercised in determining whether
clients really are destitute and un-
able to pay for lawyers services.
Since the society Is Community
Chest agency and operated solely for
the benefit Of those who can't pay, it
is impossible, she pointed out, to give
free advice without investigating the
claim Of applicants for such assist
ance.
Divorce Suits Not Sought.
The society does nothing to en-
courage divorce litigation and handles
1t only when there is a real social
need" Miss Clephane said. She also
said the society takes only a few
cases to court. OF 1,425 cases han
died by it last year, only IS went to
court, she reported.

ton president. announced that none

said there was question Of whether
