The pupils and sisterhood of the Georgetown Visitation Convent yes terday celebrated the 135th anni versary of their institution and com memorated the tercentenary of the State of Maryland with the pageant, *‘The Making of Maryland.” Presented in the Odeon of the main building under the direction of Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest, the scenes de picted the receiving of the charter of Maryland, the landing of the colonists of the "Ark” on St. Clement's Island and other events connected with the establishment of the "Old Line” State. The pageant was written by an alumnus of the institution, Miss Mary Olive O'Connell of the class of '33. Some 40 students of the high school class participated in the event. Names of Interest. The history of the Georgetown Visitation Convent has long been allied with that of Maryland. Founded in 1799 by Rev. Leonard Neale, second Archbishop of Baltimore, its roster of sisterhood and student body has al ways contained names of interest since the first days of the colony, such as, Carroll, Spaulding, Stonestreet, Brent, Fenwick, Lee, Greenwell, Jen kins and others. Archbishop Neale was the great-grandson of Anne Neale, one of the passengers on the historic Ark. in the beginning, tne scnooi pos sessed only a few lots of land on the corner of what was then known as Fayette street. The present building and lot site still bears the name of Fayette street high on its side. The street is now known as P street. In 1840, the convent acquired the old Threlkeld estate of some 40 acres. Today its grounds extend from Thirty-fifth street to the Georgetown University and from P street to Resor voir road. On Thirty-fifth street two large red brick buildings flank the chapel which was consecrated in 1822. None of the original edifices that were on the property when the convent was established remains today, for in keep ing with the policy of assimilating the best of the requirements of modern education, many improvements have been made, leaving none of the first houses. New Gym Being Built. At the present a gymnasium built in the Colonial style is being erected on the campus facing Thirty-fifth street. It is expected to be completed around the first of December. This new building is the gift of the alumnae of the school. Many art treasures, the gifts of friends and patrons, have enriched the furnishings of the convent. The altar piece, representing the Gospel scene of Mary and Martha, was paint ed for Charles X of France. On the walls of the main building are hung oil paintings donated by Gen. Meade and Gen. Butler, whose daughters were at one time students there. Among its tokens of friendship is one of the first five medals, struck by order of Pope Pius XI, to com- • memorate the founding of Vatican j City. It is the gift of the former j Apostolic Delegate from Rome. Among the past members of the alumnae are Ellen Ewing, daughter 1 of the First Secretary of the Interior | and wife of Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman; Harriet Lane Johnson, who presided over the White House during the administration of her uncle, Presi dent Buchanan, and wives and daugh ters of Stephen A. Gouglas, Gen. Beau regard, Gen. Joseph E. Johnson, and President Tyler’s daughter Pearl. The later members are no less notable, for they include Mrs. Florence Hammond Skae of Detroit, who lately received a medal. Pro Ecclesia et Patria, for distinguished service, from Pius XI. Miss Eliza Scidmore, the friend of j Lincoln, who died in 1928, attended here during the Civil War. She was ! the first woman to be decorated by the Emperor of Japan. Turkish Vice Consul Shot. ODESSA, U. S. S.

"Conditions in the home which are disruptive to family life or hostile to the child welfare might be remedied iPthose forces in the community wjdch protect and preserve family life -are called into action. "Miami social 'agencies are offeflng full co-operation to the State Board of Public Welfare in raising the standards of child-caring agencies in that city.” RITES HERE HONOR KING ALEXANDER Greek Archbishop Officiates at Memorial Services Attended by Diplomats.

By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, November 12. — Leonard Weinberg, attorney for L. Grief & Bro. in the company’s legal battle against the N. R. A., charged in a statement yesterday that "every attempt to get a decision from the courts (regarding the constitutionality of the .code) is being obstructed and Impeded by the code authorities.” Weinberg's statement was issued following filing in United States Dis trict Court of a petition asking modi fication of an order signed by Federal Judge William C. Coleman dismissing a previous order restraining agents of the N. R. A. and the Clothing Code Authority from .taking Greif’s Blue Eagle away. Attorneys for Benjamin Lebow, Baltimore member of the Clothing Code Authority, asked that Judge Coleman strike from his order of dis missal that part of this sentence which concerns the validity of N. R. A. ‘‘It appearing to the court that the plaintiff, not admitting the validity of the national recovery act or of the men's clothing code, has proposed and adopted a piece rate system for the payment of wages. * * •" That sentence was written into the order by Weinberg. Lebow contended that the sentence created the impres sion that the court had indicated there was doubt as to validity of the N. R. A. and that the court actually had not considered that question. Saying that the "Greff case is finished and the N. R. A. soon will be," Weinberg reiterated previous statements by him that the code is unconstitutional. “The attempted en forcement of many of the codes, and particularly of the men’s clothing code, by the code authorities must necessarily lead to inequalities," he said. “Prom the very day when the Gov ernment first approached us with the request that we settle the Greff case, we have insisted that if we do settle the case, it would be only with the understanding that we were not ad mitting the constitutionality or valid ity of the act or of the code,” Wein berg said. “Every attempt to get a decision from the courts is being obstructed and impeded by the code authorities and the N. R. A. by the absolutely vicious and illegal boycott which they immediately set up against the manu facturer who attempts to question the constitutionality of the N. R. A. and the codes.” KING.EMMANUEL AT 65 FELICITATED BY WORLD Monarch on Tour of Colonial Pos sessions Gets Cables in Somaliland. | By the Associated Press. *MOGDISHU.
