- CHRGTOORSE 2T ANVESIR Dedication of Present Build- . ing Will Be Celebrated April 10t0 14, Members of Foundry Methodist Epis- copal Church will celebrate the twenty- ! fifth anniversary of the dedical of the present church building at Six-; teenth and P streets with special ex- ercises April 10 to 14, The church record goes back to' the ' War of 1812, when British forces in- vaded Washington - and burned the Capitol and the Exeuctive Mansion. Foxall Gave Chapel. The original Foundry Chapel, which stood at Fourteenth and G streets, where now stands the Colorado Build- ing, was given by Henry. Foxall, mayor of Georgetown, 1821-1823, and whose name is now made familiar by Foxall Village. The gift of this property is bound up with the early events of the National Capital and is. recorded as follows in the history of those days: “Mr. Foxall, having removed his foundry from Philadelphia to George- town at the request of President Jef- ferson, was engaged at the time of the War of 1812 in the manufacture of drilled cannon for the United States Government. * * * This fact was of course known in London, and one of the properties to be destroyed should the British troops reach Washington was Foxall's foundry. The British troops did reach Washington, and; burned the Capital and other buildings, but they did not reach the foundry. A terrific thunderstorm interfered, and Tumors were heard of the rally of the American troops with reinforcements. These were the natural causes. Mr. Foxall, being a devout man, gaye thanks o God, and, being an earnest Methodist, his thank offering took the form of a Methodist chapel, the first church at he corner of Fourteenth and G streets porthwest. His friends suggested that it be called-Foxall Chapel, he replied that he gave the property not as a memorial of himself but as a thank offering to God. Some one then sug- ! gested that as the gift was a thank offering for the preservation of Mr. | Foxall's foundry the name ‘Foundry' would be appropriate and it would a)so | tommemorate Jobn Wesley's ‘Cld Foun- | dry' in London, England. This sug- gestion was adopted by Mr. Foxall, and the name ‘The Foundry Chapel’ was used in his deed of gift recorded in the land records of the District of Columbia.” Foundry Church has fostered the de- Velopment of religlous organizations to meet the needs of residential develop- ments in various parts of the District. Such Methodist churches as Wesley, McKendree, Ryland and Waugh Churches were started with its witl, After occupying successive buildings on the original site at Fourteenth and G streets the property was sold and a new location selected at Sixteenth street near P.

The men's Bible class built Bolgiano Chapel in Porto Rico and supports a pastor there. In the last 25 years it has had a xnumber of able minidters: Rev. Robert ‘Moore, 1904-10; Rev. William R.

Science Discloses Climate Changes Quality of Soilsf U. S. Chemist Relates Findings at American | Institute Luncheon. By the Assoclated Press. S NEW YORK, April 6.—Recent discov- eries that climate is a big factor in making soil, fertile or otherwise, were explained to th> science and agricul- ture Juncheon of the American Insti-| tute here today. About a dozen climatic types of soil | have been identified: in the United States, said P. L. Gile of the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture. They are products of temperature, rainfall “and attendant vegetation. * Black Soil Belt. One is a famed black soil of the Mid- est, found in a belt about 80 miles | ide through Western Iowa, Kansas| and Nebraska, and “esteemed by farmers | in this eountry as the best soll that lies outdoo! 1t develops under a cover in a region of comparatively light rainfall. . Other climate made sofls are the browi_covering of the Northwestern United States, the red earth of Georgia and the Carolinas, and a gray soil of the Northetn part of the Great Lakes some views of fertility. “A few years ago,” said Mr. Gile, “the farmer was supposed to be trustees of the fertility of his soil for future generations. If he did not re- turn as much plant food to the soil as he removed in crops, he was a ‘soil rol ber. There was an element of trutl in this. But in the light of recent in- vestigations of soll development, it seems that too much ibility was placed on the little on the Almighty. Climate Effects Soil. “After all, the inherent characteris- tics of a soil are imposed by climate and geology. Some soils, the podsolic solls of humid regions, are obviously bent toward a level of low natural fer- tility owing to leaching. Many are al- y there; others, the geologically | young soils of this group, are bound in that direction, and their progress can be only temporarily stopped. You can’t very well build up a sfore of plant food material in such soils for future generations. But you can maintain them in a high state of productivity by responsil farmer and too suitable fertilize: |SMITH PROSECUTION STIRS AURORA CLASH De King's Friends Do Not Want State's Attorney to Take . | Charge of - Quiz. By the Associated Press. AURORA, I, April 6.—Forces in Kane County tonight were lining up for a fight on who is to prosecute Deputy Roy Smith, who shot and. killed Mrs. Lillian De King du a dry raid, and Eugene Boyd ‘Fairchild who swore he bought liquor at the De Ki:f home. Following _the , refusal Attorney General Carlstrom to take charge of the case, - State’s Attorney George D. Carbary announced. he would do his duty “without fear or.favor” and would direct the entire investigation before the grand jury. He added, however, that he would present the facts to the grand jury without comment or sug- gestion. Attorneys ‘and friends of Joseph De King, who lost_his wife as a result of the raid, do not want Mr. Carbary, how- ever. The matter will probably be settled Monday when a date will be set for re- calling the grand jury to begin the investigation.

A widow with a $5,000 income which might be the amount received annually from a $100,000 estate would pay more taxes than some one else who received a $5,000 salary. The widow might be in ill health or might have a family to support. This would involve a consid- eration of each case on its merits and the Federal Government has never per- mitted the subject of income or taxes to be made a matter of leniency in par- ticular circumstances. The rules have been applied generally” and the laws contain ly any exceptions that re- late to personal comforts or hardships, The Pfi.\mmt also has been made that the ral Government and the States exact a large tax as an inheritance fee and that the individual who has spent a lifetime accumulating $100,000 and then leaves it to his family is entitled to as much consideration as the person who is earning it for himself. Then there is the problem of the married man as against the unmarried man and other difficulties, too, of discovering ‘what would be fair for all concerned. . n ttees the sug- gestion advanced that all I:- comes be on an equality up to $10,000 a ear and that everything beyond that placed on an earned as oppased to an unearned basis.
