‘\VASHIN(;TO.\'. Dec.. 27 -(ANP
)—Thrée bills have been intro
duced into the present session of
Congress by Representative Oscar
DePriest of the First district of
Illinois.
One of the bills would make
Lincoln’s birthday a legal holiday
This measure was refeired to the
judiciary committee. It is reliably
stated. however, that Cougrcss has
not the power to authorize such
legal holidays, they being deter
mined by agreement of the states
themselves. and that if Mr De-
Priest’s’ bill became a Ilaw, it
would , apply only to the District
of Columbia
Another measure ntroduced by
Mr. DePriest seeks to compel the
district to pay to colored teachers
i the district system a . large
amount of back pay. It is contena
ed that over a period of years a
numbar of colored teachers were
required to perform specified serv
ices “¢gnalagous to that done by
white™teachers. but that the whiic,
teacheys were given one fitle with
a highf salary and the colored tea
chers g were giver another title
with @& lower salary.
T hlu'c third DePriest measure
seeks #elief for Mrs. Nellie Fran
giy. widow of the late William T
Francofs, United States minister to
Liberia.

Fire again came into its own as

struction of property was even
greater than in "Rain or Shine”
The building purned was a big
tabernacle roughly but solidly bulit
with a seating capacity of about
twenty-five thousand. Because of
Columbia’s avowed intention of
burning this edifice, the Hollywod
fire department required the studio
officials to butld it outside the city
limits.
Many of the most impressive
scenes in “The Miracle Woman”
take place in this building, which
in the film is called “The Temple

enormous size, Director Frank
Capra had to use all the devices of
the public address system in order
to make himself heard by the two
