GREENBACKVILLE METH.
ODIST CHURCHES MERGE

The formal merger of two Meth
odist congregations at Greenbackville
on Sunday, June 8, at II a. m. pro-
vided a unique and interesting SER
vice.
The members of Grace Methodist
Church, Franklin City, formerly a
part of the Stockton Circuit, in the
Peninsula Conference have voted to
combine their congregation with that
of the Greenbackville Methodist
church, in the Virginia Conference.
This plan to consolidate the two or
CARNATIONS serving the same COM
munity has been frequently discuss
ed during recent years, but the de-
cision to combine the two congrega-
tions was FASTENED by the destruction
of the church building in Franklin
City by fire during the month of Feb
ruary.
Formal terms for the merger were
agreed upon at separate congrega-
tional meetings held in April with
the plan for unification receiving the
unanimous votes of the members of
both churches.
The two congregations have been
worshipping together for several

weeks in the Greenbackville Metho-
dist church and the two Sunday
schools have already been merged.
The organization of women have also
been combined.
Under the plans for the uniting
of the two churches, the new con-
gregation will be known as "The I'm
ion Methodist Church." and the Green
backville building will be used as a
church home, which will be repaired
or enlarged, as needed, with the aid
of the fire insurance money the
Grace church trustees have received
because of the destruction of their
church.

Fotitch Note 10 Hull
Protests Creation Of
Kingdom Of Croatia
U. S. Expected to Refuse
Recognition Of Stote
Formerly in Yugos|uvio

Through the medium of a note
delivered fto Secretary of State Hull
by Constantin Fotitch, Yugoslavian
Minister here, the government-in-
exile of Yugoslavia made it known
officially yesterday that it protests
the recent establishment of the
kingdom of Croatia on territory
carved from the kingdom of Yugo-
slavia.
Mr.. Hull received the note with
out comment, but it has been eX-
pected that this Government would
follow its 9-year-old policy and an
nolnce its refusal to recognize the
legal existence Of the new kingdom
If occasion arose which seemed to
call for a statement of the Amer
lean attitude.
Since the japanese conquest Of
Manchuria, the United States has
refused to recognize changes of ter
ritory accomplished by force.
The kingdom of Croatia. an Ital-
ian protectorate. is roughly similss :
In its political origins to the king
dom of Manchukuo, established un-
der Japanese supervision on terri
tory Wrested from China, and to the
Slovakian republic set up on ter
ritory formerly belonging to Czecho-
Slovakia with German approval and
assistance.

neither of these governments, just
as it does not recognize the disap-
pearance of Lithuania, Estonia. Lat
via, part Of Finland, part of Poland
and part Of Rumania into Russia;
the disappearance of part of
Czecho-S -Slovakia into Germany and
the loss of sovereignty of the rulers
in-exile of Norway, the Netherlands
and Yugoslavia.
King Peter II of Yugoslavia when
last heard from was in Turkey,
where he fled when his country COL
lapsed under the attack from Ger
many. President Roosevelt himself
publicly applauded the Yugoslavian
resistance to Germany, and the
American Government had indi-
Gated its sympathy with King Pc
ter when Yugoslavia fell. Minister
Fotitch apparently is to be the voice
for the young Kings government for
the time being.
The note which Minister Fotitch
delivered to Mr. Hull read:
The royal YugoSlav government
protests against this new violation
Of the integrity of its national ter
ritory and against the separation
of the Croat people who, through
their legitimate representatives
within the royal government, con-
tinue the struggle for the liberation
of Yugoslavia, which includes all
Croat territory, and recognize his
majesty, King Peter II, as their only
legitimate sovereign"
Cites 'Purported' Agreements.
The Minister explained his pro-
test was based on action taken in
Rome May 18. when what he called
"prported agreement" we're signed
ceding to Italy parts of the Kingdom
of Yugoslavia and when Croatia
was declared by the Italian govern
ment to be hereditary monarchy

of Spoleto, cousin of King Victor

U.S.. to Take No Action
In French Ship Seizure
az the Associated Press.

BY ire hSSOClaleo rteSS'
Secretary of State Hull indicated
Yesterday that the United States
would take no action with regard
to the British Navy's seizure of the
French oil tanker SheheraZade
which was en- route from the United
States to Casablanca in North Africa.
In reply to a question concerning
this Governments attitude toward
the seizure, Mr.. Hull told newspaper
men Britain was free to use its own
judgment concerning any action
taken against vessels of other ma
tions on the high seas.
1t was understood in State De-
partment circles that the United
States had not been advised of the
British Nays action prior to the

A window lock unopenable from
outside gives. great sense of Sc
curity to the homeowner. 1t offers
check to the would-be burglar.
This lock has direct instead of
sideways pull. For this reason it
makes an excellent lock for weather.
stripped windows.
Its action is eccentric, so that
the upper and lower sash of a
double-hung window are drawn
tightly together in an air-tight
joint and there can be no rattle or
looseness between the meeting rails.
The part of the lock on the inside
is metal plate with a handle to
operate 1t. 1t does not work parallel
when closed or opened, but on a bias,
so that when it engages in the
catch on the top sash the further
the handle is pushed the tighter the
window locks.
The locks are made in steel or
brass and finished in bright or dull
brass or oxidized finished. In addi-
tion there are dull bronze, statuary
bronze, dull nickel, buffed nickel
and polished chromium finishes.
Somewhere among these finishes the
one needed to harmonic with the
room can be found.
Drain Pipe.
Drainage of low-lying and conse-
quently wet spots in the garden or
around the house is sometimes a
difficult condition with which to
contend. Drainage of some kind is
needed, but of what kind is often
hard question to answer
Perhaps a porous drain pipe
would solve the problem. These
drain pipes are made of cement in
such way that they contain
thousands of tiny spaces through
which the water can seep into the
pipe and be carried away.
The joints are tight between pipes
so that dirt cannot enter to clog
them up and hinder the flow of
water. Joint wrappings are not re-

Quilts do not belong to any one
period and there doesn't seem to be
the slightest indication that the old
are of making them is dying out.
Most quilts today are planned as
bedspreadS and have a color scheme
to harmonic with other decorations.
If a variety of figured scraps are
used in the piecing, one dominant
plain color is generally repeated in
each block to give the design unity
Again one color is combined with
white Throughout the entire quilt.
Some quilts have elaborate pieced
borders. others are finished with a
band of white with the dominant
color used as an edge binding. A
bias striped material makes the
binding of the quilt in the whirl-
wind pattern shown here.
The beauty of any quilt is en-
HANGED if it is set off with valance
around the bed. They knew that in
the days of the ur-poster and the
rule applies still. The bed in the
sketch had no particular tradition
ana the footbOard was much too
high to display the quilt spread to
advantage. What a difference in
the effect when the board was cut
down and the crisp frills of dotted
Swiss were added! Surely any quilt
that is worth piecing is worth this
extra touch.

Tests in the laboratory show that
81 gallons of water per minute will
drain through the 4, and 8 inch
pipes in 24-inch lengths for each
inch of diameter. That is to say
that 12,4 gallons of water will seep
through each 2-foos length every
minute, 1876 gallons in the 6-inch
pipe and 24.8 gallons for the 8-inch
pipes.
The 10 and IL inch pipes do not

Hundreds More Builders.
Home building in the Washington
area has been breaking records for
the last five years. During this
time hundreds of names have been
added to the list of builders. They
are building more houses now than
they were year ago. So any resi-
dent of the Capital who wishes to
purchase a dwelling will find a
large number from which to choose.
1t is highly unlikely there will be
any shortage here in houses for
sale" This competition, coupled
with the steadying influence of home
financing institutions. undoubtedly
will protect the buyer from any
large price increases.
Brokerage Offices report that the
real estate market is unusually
good. The demand for investment
properties is especially heavy. One
sales manager reported more calls
for investment properties than we
can handle" He said his office has
sold s503,000 worth of real estate
since March l, figure which more
than doubles last March. The
market is exceptionally active for
small apartments, buildings which
sell for $4,000 and under.
New homes also are selling rapid
ly, although a recent survey showed
more new houses are for sale now
In the Washington area than at
any time since before the depres-
sion. This is due to the rapid build
ing pace rather than an absence
OF buyers. Most real estate men
say the market for low-cost homes
has slowed in the last year, and
there has been greatly increased
demand for higher priced dwellings.

feasted by the spasmodic glow OF

the premises they stuffed with ice
cream, cheese, pickles, pop, pota

cites, gum, matches and hambur

terrible shambles to greet the
owners next morning.
Approximately $40 worth of food
and other merchandise was car
ried away, or eaten. Officers who
looked over the premises neXt
morning are inclined, says Mrs

is responsible. Evidence left be
