The ancient Biblical town of Jeri-
cho is to be rebuilt and modernized.
A planning commission is arranging
a residential community of medium

Protestants Of Brooklyn, the Prot
estant Post has made it's original
appearance, in an eight-page tab
loid format. The publication will
be monthly at first. In it's introduc-
tory editorial, the paper says that
religious people cannot expect the
public press to advocate those prin'
ciples which they themselves are
bound to further. Religious advo-
cacy can not be left to secular
and neutral estate.'

Gideon, Following Gods Plan,
Judges 7:4-23, for Sunday, July "a:
Why is God SO often on the side
minority?
What constitutes a call to battle!
What are some of our moral bat
ties?
How far may we go in demanding
tokens of Gods presence and pow
er?
What are some Of the ways by
which God encourages his children?
Glorious says: "God is forgiving
and merciful; but there comes
time when he can not automatically
pardon sins without a reminder or
the awfulness of sins and punish
ment for sin that naturally follows.
Forgiveness, if lessons are not
learned by it, would ultimately
prove harmful"
Lesson prayer: eve would know
the dire consequences of forgetting
God only to be enslaved by earthly
powers. We would be absolutely
honest with ourselves, our fellow
man and our God, following paths
of righteousness at any cost"

Arthur Pillsbury Tells Geographic
Society How He Grows Vege-
tables Without Soil.

How to grow vegetables In q tank of
water without any soil was described
before members of the National Geo.
graphic Society In Constitution Hall
last night by Arthur c. Pillsbury OF
Berkeley, Calf.
Mr.. Pillsbury, who has been expert
menting with the process for years In
his own greenhouses, explained how.
by planting potato seeds in excelsior
in q tank Of water, he could grow the
equivalent Of 5000 bushels to an acre.
"And the potatoes will be Just as
good as those that grow in rows down
on the farm"
He has successfully grown potatoes.
beans, squash. cucumbers and pump
kins.
In his greenhouse, which is no longer
than a good-si1ed living room, the
lecturer has constructed his several
small tanks containing q wire mesh
6 inches from their base and are filled
with water up to the mesh. He places
q layer of several inches Of excelsior
on tope Of the mesh, into which he
then puts the potato seeds. The water
contains IL chemicals found necessary
to the healthy growth Of plants.
This method Is no quicker than soil
growth, he added, but the plants are
more luxurious.

SUIT WOULD HALT
SCHOOL PROJECTS
Taxpayers Action Alleges
State Payments to P. w. A.
Is Illegal.
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Jan. 29.-Four tax
payers yesterday asked the Circuit
Court to enjoin the State from paying
money for construction work done
with P. w. A. aid at State institutions.
The suit alleged that a Federal
law designed to force payments of
minimum wages on P. w. A. projects
is unconstitutional, and therefore pay
ments under this law are illegal.
Chief Judge Samuel K. Dennis gave
nine defendants until February % to
show cause why the injunction should
not be granted.
The suit was filed by Arthur R.
Wood, George E. Halsey, Milton c.
Davis and Thomas Mullan.
Defendants listed were Gov. Nice,
William s. Gordy, jr., State controller,
and Hooper s. Miles, State treasurer,
as members of the Board of Public
Works, and the following institutions
which would be improved with the
money: Montrose School for Girls,
Springfield State Hospital, Spring
Grove State Hospital, Brownsville
States Hospital, Rosewood State Train
ing School and Morgan College.
The law called unconstitutional in
the petition was the "kick back
statute of 1884, providing penalties TO,
forcing laborers to return to the EN-.
ployer part Of their pay. The petition
said State law authorizing $685..
600 bond issue was illegal because il
provided for the acceptance of Fed.
eral aid under illegal conditions.

mittee on Public Buildings and
Grounds today were considering the
advisability of calling for prepara-
ton of estimates Of cost of such a
development.
Hearings on the pending Smith bill,
providing for development of the

committee at l0:15 am. Tuesday in

To Explore Traffic Control.
The committee is planning on
Tuesday and Wednesday to go fully
into the problem of aerial traffic
control in case the Gravelly Point
site is developed. Witnesses have
predicted that serious traffic con-
gestion is likely to develop because
of proximity of the site to Boiling
Field and the Anacostia Naval Air
Station.
The Solomon proposal came as one
of the outstanding surprises of a
week of hearings on the local airport
problem. Although many plans have
been considered for the development
of Washington Airport, the suggested
use of land to the south and west
of the airport had not previously
been advanced.
