that he can devote to writing. One
thing, it is a harmless sport, in
most cases, and it might pay pretty
good dividends in the long run. One
thing most sure, he'll never COM
plain because he receives too much
mail-Service men never do. He
will not be the exception, either.
Here's hoping that you have
many successful trips Jack, and
that your D. E. will very soon give
good account of itself out there on
the blue-green waters of the ocean.
A right smart job, those D. Els.
Quite an improvement over the
Eagle Boats and Sub-Chasers of
World War I. The Eagle Boats es-
pecially. They could pitch and toss
worse than a bucking bronco. Talk
about sunfishing! The roll! And
the stiff legged hop! A bronco has
to do these one at a time, whereas
the old Eagle Boats, in rough
sea, could do all three at the same
instant. That's one time that the
U. S. Navy should have issued
spurs to all sailors serving on this
type of ship. You could have dug
in at least. One thing about a
small Navy job. The fellowship is
usually much more friendly. 1t has
to be, or else you're all in a mess.
On a big Battle Wagon, well, you
may serve there for several months
and only know a part of the crew.
The contrast is much like the diff
ference between large town and a
small cmmunity like Smyrna.
Jack, think you will like your
new home very much. Course it
will not be like home and Mrs. Rob-
inson, but you'll make out fine at
that. Best of luck to you.

BEYOND THE
CHURCH
BY
Rev. Charles Milton Griffeth


Out in little place by the name
of Moose, in Wyoming, located
some forty miles back from the
nearest railroad there is small
log cabin church which is visited
every year by many tourists.
The unique thing about this
church is that back of the altar, in
the place of the usual wall, there
is costly large plate glass window
through which the worshippers can
see, as thy site meditatingly, an
inspiring view of lofty mountains
IN the distance. Thus is the handi-
work of the Creator ever before

those who worship Him in that

those who worship Him in that
sanctuary.
AS you sit in your Church and
look straight before you, what is it
that you see? Do you permit your
thoughts to be filled with criticisms
concerning those who sit in front
of you, criticisms of the way they
are dressed or the way they live?
Do you permit your mind to be
limited in its thinking by the ma
terial and the visible and the
earthly? Or are you able to make
your thoughts penetrate the things
you see and catch a vision of the
spiritual which lies beyond them?

FHA Petition for Cut
In RossIynG GasCo.
Rates Rejected
Controllers Ruling Affect:
War Housing Projects
In Nearby Virginia

The Rosslyn Gas Co. is entitled
to maintain the present rate of IS
and 80 cents per thousand feet for
gas served to war housing projects
in Arlington, Fairfax and Alexan-
dria, Controller General Lindsay
c. Warren ruled yesterday in a de-
cision to the Federal Housing Agen-
cy, which sought a reduction to 10
cents.
The housing agency based the
application for the cut on the con-
tention that Rosslyn Gas is a part
of the Washington Gas Light Co..
which-with the Georgetown Gas
Light Co.'s required by law to
maintain a maximum rate of 70
cents "in any of the public build
ings Of the United States or the
District of Columbia"
1t was explained that this 70-cent
rate applies to one of the war
housing projects.
Reviewing the history of the rate
legislation, which was incorporated
in the District appropriation bill
for 1917, Mr.. Warren said "it is
concluded that the provisions of the
act are not applicable to
public buildings outside the District
of Columbia" In view of this find
ing, he said. 1t was not necessary
to pass on the relationship of the
Rosslyn and Washington companies,
In seeking the reduction, the hous-
Ing agency said that under similar
conditions of corporate affiliation
former Controller General John r.
McCarl had held in 1925 that the
lower rate should apply to gas fur
nished the Bureau of Animal In
dustry in Montgomery County by
the Georgetown Gas Light Co. of
Montgomery County, an affiliate of
Georgetown Gas.
Later, it was continued, the con-
troller general ruled that Rosslyn
Gas was not bound by the rate level
because it was separate corpora
ton from Washington Gas. The
relationship, the housing agency
argued, had changed since then,
however.
Referring to the Montgomery
County case, Mr.. Warren said the
gas company sued in United States
District Court in Maryland to main
tain rates above the 70-cent level
and that the court held this maxi
mum was not applicable to public
buildings outside Of the District
The Government did not appeal
and the 70-cent rate, consequently
was not enforced.

Action on Problem
BY tte Associated Press.

BY tie Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Jan. 30.-A report
by State Treasurer William Tayloe
Murphy to Gov Darden today
showed Virginia will save $5,796, 1913
as a result of the State debt liquida-
tion program enacted by last falls
special session Of the General AS
sembly.
This saving, calculated following
completion of investments made by
the Sinking Fund Commission with
about SIS 100000 appropriated from
the commemorative surplus, will
be almost 100000 greater than
advance estimates indicated at the
time the Legislature met four
months ago
1t is gained from the income Vir-
ginia will receive In interest on

legations of various political sub
divisions of the State. This in

In releasing Mr.. Murphy's report,
Gov Darden said:

they gave this matter. Their action
enabled the treasurer, State Con-
troller Henry G. Gilmer and State

The Assembly in special session
had appropriated s10000,000 from
surplus funds for debt retirement.
A similar s5,000,000 appropriation
had been voted by the regular ses-
sion year ago.
Mr. Murphy reported that securi-
| ties with par value of Sl4,373, ,137
/ had been bought with these appro-
priations. The securities, he added
will yield an income OF $373,8l6 the
first year. In subsequent years the
income will decline gradually as the
securities mature and the State S
obligations are paid.
Gain by Reinvestment.
The total interest earned to the
maturity of the investments will
amount to $5 696,878 Because funds
available from maturing securities

than requirements in the next 10
years, it will be possible for the
State to gain another 100000 BY

. Murphy explained.
