T. W. NOYES HEADS
GROUP 1U TIME
Elected President of Oldest
Inhabitants—WUI Ban
quet Tuesday.
Tfheodore W. Noyes, editor of The
Evening Star, was elected president of
the Association of Oldest Inhabitants
of the District of Columbia last night
for the thirtieth time.
All other officers were re-elected at
the annual meeting at Old Union
Engine House and plans were an
nounced for the annual dinner of the
association to be held Tuesday night
at the Raleigh Hotel.
The other officers named for another
year included 13 vice presidents, as fol
lows; John Clagett Proctor, Christian
Heurlch, Charles A. Langley, George
Spransey, Fred A. Emery, Joseph I.
Keefer, John R. Mahoney, John B.
Dickman, Elra C. Palmer, Walter E.
Allen, Jesse C. Suter, E. W. Zea and
G. I. Dietrich; and these other officers:
J. Eliot Wright, recording secretary
treasurer; William E. Wise, assistant
recording secretary; James F. Duha
mel, corresponding secretary; John R.
Mahoney, financial secretary; Harry A.
Burr, marshal; Mr. Proctor, chronicler;
Mr. Duhamel and Mr. Proctor, dele
gates to the Federation of Citizens’
Associations.
Mr. Noyes was placed in nomination
to succeed himself by Mr. Emery, who
praised him as "prince of the civic
leaders of Washington.”
Civic Record Praised.
’’There is no man in the history of
Washington," declared Mr. Emery,
•■in whom the people have greater
confidence. There is no greater rec
ord in civic, patriotic work here than
that of our president. There is no
man for whom we have more affec
tionate regard. No man has more
prestige for the splendid work he has
done for the District of Columbia.”
In seconding the nomination, Mr.
Proctor recalled that many years ago
Mr. Noyes had attempted to resign,
but the association had declined to
accept his resignation. He congratu
lated Mr. Noyes on having been
elected for the thirtieth time. The
election was unanimous.
In accepting, Mr. Noyes said he felt
"deeply honored and, of course, grati
fied" at both the tributes and the
election. He referred to the passing
of the years, and expressed apprecia
tion for the association which he said
"has always been closest to my heart."
Plans for the dinner Tuesday night
at the Raleigh Hotel were announced
by Mr. Suter, chairman of the din
ner committee. He explained the
function will start with a reception
promptly at 7 o'clock, and urged all
to be on time. Mr. Noyes will deliver
his annual address and Frederic Wil
liam Wile will speak.
Star Quartet to Sing.
Stressing the music to be presented
by the Evening star Male Quartet, Mr.
Suter said they will sing several num
bers.
George H. O’Connor is to sing and
lead group singing. There will be a
group of distinguished guests, leaden
of civic organizations, Mr. Suter ex
plained, but they will be introduced
for bows only, not to speak.
The dinner committee report, on mo
tion of Mr. Emery, was "approved with
thanks."
Introduced by Mr. Dickman, as
president of the Federation of Citizens’
Associations, and a member of the
Oldest Inhabitants, L. C. Carruthers
brought greetings from the federation,
and referred in turn to federation
delegates at the meeting: Mr. Duha
mel, Mr. Proctor, Mr. Emery, Mr.
Suter and Horace J. Phelps.
A letter of greetings from Jesse D.
B. Peters, former Washingtonian, now
residing in Tampa, Fla., was read
by Mr. Wright.
To Celebrate With Mr. Mahoney.
The association voted to help cele
brate the 91st birthday anniversary of
John R. Mahoney, its financial sec
retary, January 10, especially in view
of the fact that, by mistake, he had
"lost’’ his 90th birthday anniversary
last year, as he had explained to the
previous monthly meeting of the
association. The association, Mr.
Suter explained, had celebrated Mr.
Mahoney’s 80th birthday anniversary
11 years ago. The function will take
place in the Old Union Engine House.
A special committee of five was
appointed by Mr. Noyes to help ar
range tor the Mahoney celebration,
consisting of Walter E. Allen, E. C.
Palmer, Harry W. Dowling, a new
member, brother of the late Prank
W. Dowling, association marshal; Mr.
Buter and Mr. Burr.
The association authorised flowers
sent next Friday night to the home
of Mr. Wright on the occasion of his
83rd wedding anniversary. The asso
ciation acted on a motion by Mr.
Kmery, who characterised Mr. Wright
as “a faithful, delightful and 'most
conscientious officer."
SECURITY TAX PAYMENT
TO BE MADE ONCE YEARLY
Internal Revenue Bureau Rules
Assessments Xuat Be Paid at
Start of Period.
B» the Associated Press.
The Internal Revenue Bureau ruled
yesterday that social security taxes
on salaries of more than $3,000 a year
should be paid the first part of the
year and not spread evenly over 13
months.
The taxes apply only to the firs)
$3,000 earned, thus a person earning
$3,000 a month must pay his whole
year's tax in January and then would
be exempt the rest of the year.
The bureau also ruled no tax re
fund could be granted if an employe
of a company voluntarily refunded
part of his salary to his employer.
The question arose In the case of a
corporation whose president gave
back part of his salary because the
business could not afford the pay he
was getting.
LECTURE ON HAWAII
George T. Armitage will give an
illustrated lecture on his travels in
Hawaii before the National Geo
graphic Society at Constitution Hall
tomorrow night. Showing colored
slides and sound motion pictures
Mr. Armitage will describe flights he
has made along the shores and Into
the interior of the islands. Hawaii’s
colorful holiday celebrations and ath
letic contests also will be featured In
the lecture.
