CAPITAL OBSERVES "~ EASTER IN RAIN . Thousands Brave Weather I"to Attend Churches and £ 5 (' *% Outdoor Services. | ‘Washington observed Easter in a © downpour yesterday. Rain which began Saturday night continued almost continuously through the day. but thousands braved the | | | i weather to attend not only services in| thae city's many churches, but the open- air services at Arlington National Cem- etery and Walter Reed Hospital. Spring Finery Hidden. The “Easter parade”’ of fahion was rained out, as much of the new Spring finery was left at home or hidden be- neath coats and umbrellas. The presidential family took part in the day's worship. Mrs. Roosevelt sat " in her box throughout the soaking rain that drenched early morning worship- pers at the classic Arlington Amphi- theater and later attended the Wash- ington Cathedral services with the ; President and their son James Thousands of Easter visitors to the city were disappointed by the weather. ! "'The Knights Templar conducted the sunrise services at Arlington. Open- ,ing with a fanfare by Marine Band trumpets, the services were conducted “entirely by members of the knights. Although the rain had ceased for a time before the 7:30- a.m. ceremonies, . it began with renewed vigor shortly after they commenced, driving many of the thousands seated in the amphi- theater to the protection of its roofed- ‘ over rim. Attired in their black-and- \white uniforms, the knights remained in their reserved section of the open- air auditorium throughout the services. Dignitaries of the order who a tended and took part in the worship were L. Whiting Estes, grand command- &' er of the Knights Templar; Dr. Ze Bar- < ney T. Phillips, chaplain of the Sen- ate; Dr. James Shera Montgomery, . chaplain of the House, and others. + An opening prayer by Chaplain Mont- gomery included a call for guidance to i« the Nation, and, while Chaplain Phil- _-lips led the Apostles’ Creed, the knights ‘' presented swords, hilts upward. Rev. Sir Knight John C. Palmer, chaplain of the Grand Lodge for the District, read the scripture lesson from Matthew xxviil. Plead for Confidence. The sermon, by Right Rev. Warren 1. Rogers, Episcopal Bishop of Ohio and grand prelate of Ohio Knights _*Templar, plead for confidence. “This is not a time for confusion, but for con- fidence,” he said. “We need not be disturbed when empires fall about us. Rather, we need be disturbed by our + own lack of a life’s purpose. Death is ‘- not simply a door, but an entrance into another stage of life. Lift up your heads, 4for ye shall live again. “Capt. Sidney *3K. Evans, chief of Navy chaplains, gave the losing prayer, and the Marine Band concluded with the “Star Spangled Banner.” Another impressive sunrise service was that at Walter Reed Hospital, where more than 3,000 gathered for the traditional open-air Easter observ- ance. Chaplain Frank L. Miller of the hospital staff spoke on “The Joy of Easter,” pointing out that the joy of the Christian church was born with the first Easter. A program of sacred music by the Army Band made up & part of the Walter Reed observance. Special Services Held. Pastors of all the city’s churches had prepared special Easter services. A sun- rise service opened the day's exercises at National City Christian Church: a musical program was presented at New York Avenue Presbyterian Church; Mount Vernon Place Methodist Church South, held a special memorial service, and so on through the list, each church offering special observance of the resur- Tection. Catholic services attracted great throngs of visitors to the Franciscan Monastery, the Shrine of the Immacu- Jate Conception at Catholic University, and to the many parish churches about the city. Colorfully decorated with 3 r flowers, every Catholic church as crowded to capacity throughout the ‘morning. K. OF C.

It was described today by Pred P. | Siebel, head of a brewing school and | fermentation laboratory in continuous cperation here since 1872. It is as yet unnamed, he said, and the details of manufacture are secret. Its ultimate effect will be to reduce the storage period necessary for good beer by reducing the aging period from several weeks to two or three days. Taxes, Sigbel said, starting with the | $5 Federal levy on each barrel, present |a serious problem to brewers who wish | tc make a profit on the new 3.2 beer and at the same time maintain a low consumer price. ne big cost item,” Siebel explained, “has been the storage capacity needed for good beer to rid itself of yeast and |to permit the completion of the chem- ical processes which give it its flavor. “Previously, after partial sedimenta- tion, brewers added new beer to the storage tanks to restimulate the chem- ical process. This renewed the need i | storage period. “Now we have succeeded in isolating the enzyme which is required by the beer at this point and instead of adding new, unsettled beer, we have added only the enzyme, with the same effect on | THE for sedimentation and prolonged the |\ \.* ‘e adjoining twin .town of stages with that of carbonation, which gives it its “head.” In addition, he said plant costs had been cut as much as 35 per cent by tectural principles to brewery building and better understanding of the chem- istry of fermentation has reduced waste. Siebel's school was founded by his father, J. E. Siebel, sr., the year after the Chicago fire, and the third genera- tion of Siebels is now in partial charge PLAN LAWN CONTEST Warren County Garden Club Is Sponsor Again.

Bishop Freeman preached to the text, “Made After the Power of an End- less Life.” In closing the bishop told the story of the last days of Woodrow Wilson. “A book sent to him by a child,” he said, “was the source of that great man's strength in his final hours. In it he had read the words, ‘The eternal God is thy refuge and underneath are the everlasting arms.’ " ‘The special Easter music of the service had been arranged by Edgar Priest, organist and chcirmaster of the Cathedral, and included his own set- ting for the “Nunc Dimittis.” The | offertory hymn was Horatio Parker's “Light's Glittering Morn Bedecks the 8ky.” The solo portions cf the anthem were sung by Edwin Steffe, bass, and Ross Farrar, tenor.

M. C. A With more than 700 boys enrolled—a record number—the annual Easter week Learn-to-Swim campaign of The Star and the Y. M. C. A. opened with a grand splash today in the boys’ pool of the Y. M. C. A. at 1732 G street. The first class of 55 youths, all under 19, plunged into the clear, warm water of the big pool at 9 o'clock under the tutelage of a corps of expert instructors. A new class of approximately the same size entered the pool every succeeding hour. The classes will continue until 9 o’'clock tonight. The first lesson had to do with learn- ing to breathe properly while splashing in the water. Later the boys will be taught leg and arm motions of the crawl—a stroke easily acquired by novices and used by champions. Although the capacity of the pool has been far exceeded by the enrollment, Director J. C. Ingram of the “Y” Boys’ Department said every applicant who really wants to learn to swim will be given the free instruction. It will be necessary to extend the course into next week, after school hours, to ac- comodate the overflow. The Star and the Y. M. C. A. have received a flood of commendatory messages {from parents and officials who appreciate the value of the Learn-to- Swim campaigns. The course is offered each year as a public service in the interest of health and safety of boys.
