ing, and members of the church
choir, already in their robes for the
II o'clock worship. left the church
buildings quickly and in good order.
The choir was to have sung, 20 Lord,
Deliver Us" as the opening hymn.
While the alarm was still being
sounded by word of mouth through
the church. the Rockville Volunteer
Fire Company arrived. having seen
smoke coming from the loft as its
truck was en- route to brush fire
at Great Falls.
Woman Teacher Skeptical.
When fireman rushed into an
other adult class taught by Miss
Beulah Dove and shouted. THE
church is on fire Miss Dove was
rather skeptical, believing the man
might be from nearby Sanitarium.
He persuaded her to accompany

OAR. Congress
Will Be Held
In Chicago
Meeting in April
Will Be First
Outside of Capital

For the first time in it's history
the annual Continental Congress of
the Daughters of the American Rev.
olution will not be held in Washing
ton this spring. Mrs. William H.
Pouch, president general of the So
ciety, announced last night that the
meeting will be moved to Chicago
because of wartime congestion here.
The decision to shift the 51St
Continental Congress came after
telegraphic poll of members of the
National Board of Management
brought approval of an Executive
Committee recommendation that
the conclave be held in Chicago.
This action has been taken be-
cause of our earnest desire to CO.
operate with our Government to the
very utmost" Mrs. Pouch said in
statement.
One Big Objective
"It is extremely difficult to trans
fer this great convention of thou
sands of patriotic women from our
national headquarters in Washing
ton to some other location" she
continued. mo sacrifice, however,
is too great at this time of national
emergency. The 10000 members
of the D. A. R. have but one big
objective, and that is to do every
thing within their power to aid in
winning the war We know but one
word and that is victory"
Mrs. Pouch said the shift will
mean a change in plans for the So
ciety's $500 chapters and more than
1000 delegates and alternates to the
Congress. She added that delegates
would rearrange their plans imme-
dlately and said she expected an
attendance as large as had been an
tlclpated for the meeting here.
The meeting will be held during
the week from April u to 10 and
the Hotel Stevens will be the con-
gress' headquarters The program,
which Mrs. Pouch described as "one
of the most important" in the So
ciety's history, will be carried out
as originally planned so far as pos
sible, the president general said.
Mrs. Pouch Back From West.
Mrs. Pouch, who had been at
tending State conferences of the
D. A. R. in Pacific Coast States and
in the West, returned here last
Thursday to confer with members
OF the Executive Committee on plans
for the congress.
A few days earlier it had been
revealed that Washington hotels
had been forced by wartime de-
mands on their facilities to turn
down hundreds of requests for room
reservations made by D. A. r. men,
bers. Less than 500 rooms were
being reserved for delegates. whereas
in former years the hotels had been
able to accommodate thousands of
visiting D. A. R. members. Efforts
to find rooms for out-of-toWn dele
gates in the homes of local D. A. R.
women also had met with little sue
cess because many of the available
rooms had been rented to Govern
ment war workers.
Mrs. Pouch said the program of
the forthcoming congress will deal
with the society's cooperation in
the War-its program for national
defense, civilian defense. sale Of
Defense bonds and stamps, and
many other activities.

MARYLAND Students Take Lead
In Reviving Use of Bicycles
Bon on Automobile Tires Stimulates
Popularity of Wheels for transportation

Take a tip from a University of
MARYLAND coed and kill with one
bicycle at least three birds" of
transportation problems - tires,
parking space and garage
Miss Jean ShoWacre, a Maryland
junior from Cumberland, is one of
the scores of college folk and older
orally who are taking to bicycle rid
ing since the rubber shortage cut
down use of automobiles. and Won
dering why they didn't do it before.
1T is so convenient" Miss Show
acre said. IN daylight, l can leave
my bicycle anywhere without fear
of a parking ticket, and at night
l can take it into the dormitory
and leave it in the hall"
The only trouble is that so many
people hereabouts and throughout
the country are buying bicycles now,
they may become SO scarce as to be
rationed, too.
Demand Is Increasing.
A story of dWindling stocks and
increasing demand in the bicycle
business was disclosed by inquiries
last week at District sport shops,
department stores and chain out
lets. Bicycle sales here in the last
two months have been the largest
in District history, it was said.
There are no rationing restrictions
on sale of bicycles and tires for
them now, although the swelling
demand and shortage of some ma
terialS has resulted in manufac-
turers' rationing to dealers.
If enough bicycles continue to be
manufactured to meet the demand,
great changes in the looks Of Wash
ington are foreseen by one lmaglna-
tive dealer, who predicted for the
not-far- distant future parking lots
for bicycles by the thousands as
Government workers pedal to their
offices"
Recalls Swiss Stands"
This is in line with the eXpecta-
tions of a bicycle-minded Govern
ment employe who has seen long

Professors as well as students are
going in for bicycle transportation
at the University of Maryland. The
pedalers there are high in their
praise of wheeled transporta-
ton, pointing to its economy and
exercise value and calling it par
ticularly suited to the College Park

automobile at home on school days
and pedals a mile and half to the
university. His Office is at the top
of a hill.
I'll admit that returning home is
easier than going to the office" he
said. But going home I can coast
all the way, if l get a lucky break
with the traffic light on the Baltl-
more Washington boulevard"
Students explain bicycles are a
timesaver. Automobiles must be
parked in designated areas on the
campus, and considerable time often
must be spent walking from park
ing space to a particular building,
Patrick Quinn, junior, said.
JudSon Bell, student director Of
publicity, believes the bike will re-

a long time.
ON the level a good rider can
pedal four or five times as fast as he
can walk" Mr. Bell said, "and If he
puts on a little more steam, six

tage is less, but doWnhill it is greater
