W.C. T, MEETING | 15 OPENED -HERE Addresses and Reports Fea- ture Convention’s Initial Gathering. Addresses and reports on the work of the various departments of the Wo- man's Christian, Temperance Union during the last three months featured the opening of the quarterly conven- tion of that organization in Bethany Baptist Church on Rhode Island avenue between Second and Third streets today. The convention was called to order by Mrs. N. M. Pollock. The delegates were welcomed to the church by Rev. Dr. Hugh T. Steven= son, pastor, who in a brief address de- plored the lack of respect for law in this country, declaring that there is more respect for law in various Euro- pean countries than in the United States. Response to Dr. Stevenson's address was made by Mrs. William Knowles Cooper, who stressed the importance of carrying on a wide educational program among the young people to give them respect for law as well as to teach them temperance in living. Rev. Dr. Charles H. Butler, pastor of the Columbia Heights Iutheran Church, referring briefly to the Jones-Stalker bill for enforcement of prohibition, said the purchaser of liquor is just as much & law -violator as the vender. Included among the reports at the morning session was one_ by Mrs. E. C. Stanton, chairman of the international relations section of the W. C. T. U, who told of plans for her section to take part in a round-table discussion of the affairs of various Central Ameri- can countries.

Others taking part in the morning program were Mrs. Myrtle C. MacSpei- den, who led in song service; Mrs. M. W ohnson, prayer; Mrs, M. M.

FARM RELIEF BILL ABOUT COMPLETE House Agriculture Subcommittee | Ready to Report to Full Committee. By the Associated Press. The House farm relief bill has been virtually completed by the subcommit- tee appointed for the task, and except for a few details is ready for submis- sion to the agriculture committee, which is to present the proposal to the House at the opening of the special session next Monday. The measure will not be printed, however, until after these matters are straightened out in informal confer- ences with various farm leaders and Government officials. The bill, as previously indicated by the committee, has been made to fol- low the general Republican party plat- form recommendations for establish- ment of a Federal farm board to dis- pense a large revolving fund in loans 1o co-operatives and stabilization cor- porations. In a telegram to Frank H. Simpson, Flora, IIl, fruit grower, Representative Williams, Republican, Illinois, a mem- ber of the drafting subcommittee, said | today that the measure would not force Federal assistance upon any commodity which did not desire and specifically Teauest aid. “No commodity grous will have the power to interfere in wny way or give assistance when it is not requested,” said Mr. Williams ut the bill will be general in its terms and the machinery set up and the assistance offered will only apply to those commodity groups desiring it and asking for it on their own motion.” - SERGT.MAJ. gURDICK DEAD! ‘The Navy Department announced to- day that Sergt.
