success is impossible, had been re-

words of encourag cement words are SO

There is nothing easier to. propa
gate than this plant 1t likes low land
in preference, but it will grow any
where 1t grows in water wonder
fully and I have seen it reaching in
height six feet where the roots are
always submerged 1t can be grown
at the border of ponds, lakes, rivulets,
draining bitches and it will spread
runners" like strawberry or PEPPER
mint plants, and sprout roots at every
''eyelet." These rooted eyelets devel-
op stalk and single runner will
frequently have twenty rooted stalks
that can be cit off and planted, each
one making a new plant.
That plant will also succeed in low
marshy lands if the ground is free
from sea water. In fact it will grow
where no other payable crop will. 1t
requires neither care nor expense af
ter planting; it is the easiest thing to
propagate it from cuttings if one de-
sires to propagate it on a large scale.
I have never lost single cutting and
every one knows how to grow cut

AS I have stated already, the oil
wanted is of unlimited quality. It's
use is by no means confined to the
perfumery line. In these times of
scientific achievements, it is impossi-
BILE to say to what varied uses that
oil can be put But, what can be
said with accurate and incontestible
certainty, is that it is, and will be, an
exclusively American product and
that as such, it will find market all
over the world. 1t is new product,
it has never figured yet on any price
list, it is new born American
It should be to the American what
the otter of rose is to Bulgaria; what
the oils of "citrus family" are to
Stella and what the raw materials for
perfumery are to France The propa-
cation and study of that plant have
the attention of the United States de-
partment of agriculture and this for
perfumery purposes. The plant is
now cultivated in the national grounds
at Timmonsvi1le, S. c., and Arlington
test gardens, and this under the able
supervision of Dr. True and Prof
Richardson both of the bureau of
plant industry.
One of the peculiar features of that
plant is the easy production and large
yield of the essential oil.
I. 1t can be distilled when the plant
is large enough for crop and three
crops in a year should be obtained.
g. 1t can be distilled dry and this is
of immense advantage because of the
facility of transportation from any
part Of the state to the factory, or the
factories, as the case may be. When
the time of the cutting of the crop
comes, it can be cut and dried and
baled as hay, and then shipped to the
factory.

Beauty of Mexican Indians.
From the Indianapolis Star.

From the indianapolis Star.
The beauty of Indian women is one of the
charms of Mexico. In the capital, where
the Indian has degenerated poverty and
menial service, it is less to be remarked
than in the smaller towns and in the coun-
try. But the beautiful faces one takes in
memory away from Mexico are those OF
Indian women. Fine eyes are universal and,
what one hardly expects, fine features, ac-
cording to Caucasian standards; broad
brows, straight noses. we'll formed mouths
and chins full but not gross or heavy. The
expression is very generally Intelligent and
often one is struck, both in Indian men and
women with the nobility and refinement of
the countenance. One frequently sees types
among the poems that seem to belong to
some highly civilized ancient caste an
Egyptian priest of royal blood, q Roman
centurion, an Aztec emperor. The women
are gently lovely where they are beautiful,
and the men at their best in carriage, in
manners and in countenaRce are strikngly
like the very advanced product of civliza-
ton. In the north the noble red man. has
chiefly been found in our poetry and ro-
nance At their highest they possessed
only the savage virtues. Here in mid Mex
leo even after four centuries of subjection,
the Indian is plainly of better make, OF
higher e.hnic development, of Infinitely
greater possibilities. 1t is far cry from
the Apache to the Aztec.

Again the historian refers to Cen Wash
ington and Baltimore in terse words by
the waters of the Potomac, near our ma
tons capitol, there stands today a monu-
ment to George Washington, completed
after the lapse of more than a century from
the close of the American revolution, which
event it was Washington's idea to COM
menorate upon that very spot by the
stately column visible from Mount Vernon.
But no monument conspicuous from afar
can adequately symbolic the glory OF the
revolutionary achievement or measure the
greatness of its greatest hero The his
toric influence of Washington's deeds and
grand ideas will flow on like the waters OF
the Potomac into widening, boundless
sea And even that poor river of trade
which Washington first sought to open up
from the west has now become a mighty
current of commercial enterprise, seeking a
quick way seaward past another monu-
mental city, which in art and science ard
the enlarged ideas of Washington is as
truly grateful to his memory as the city
which bears his name and contains his
latest monument"
The people of Baltimore were not slow
to perceive that trade was being diverted
from their city and the Cumberland route
by the Erie canal, which was completed ir
1925. In report made by some French
engineers in 1926 1t was found that a
canal over the Allegheny mountains was
not feasible by any of the proposed sur
veyed routes; it was then that the railroad
enterprise was taken up and at the sug
gestion of Phillip E. Thomas Of Baltimore,
who resigned his Office commissioner in
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal and hence
forth devoted himself to the task of win
ming back for Baltimore the line of western
trade which had been going to the Erie
canal. In a report on this subject to the
citizens OF Baltimore, February 27, 1927,
may be seen not only the beginning of the
first railroad enterprise in this country.
but also the revival Of Washington's sug-
gestions concerning the best route from the
seaboard to the west. The Potomac COM
pany, organized and granted power to
open canals for navigation in 1884, failed
In 1921, and this led to the formation of
the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company,
and on the report of its engineers and
in the light OF subsequent events may be
regarded as one OF the direct causes lead
ing up to the construction Of the first
railroad. Their report embodied the diff

governor was brought before the legisla-
ture of Virginia, awakening much interest
70 the Potomac scheme. 1t was necessary,
however, to have harmony in the legislative
action; to charter the proposed company;
to have the cooperation Of Maryland. Ac-
cordingly, depUtation of the legislature Of
Virginia, consisting Of Gen. Washington,
Gen. Gates and Col. Blackburn, was sent
to Annapolis in December. 1874. They were
received with much favor and given
great ovation. They met a similar delega-
ton appointed from the legislature of that
state, one Of whom was Charles Carroll
Of Carrollton. the man who was destined to
see the historic development Of that en-
larged plan which Washington had so early
recommended to Gov. Thomas Johnston,
for on the fouth day of July. 1928. this
nestor of American patriots, who had out
lived all other signers of the Declaration
Of Independence, laid the first foundation
OF the Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
Charles Carroll was over ninety years of

most important acts of his life, second

mountains to maintain canals; the great

something must be done, and that quickly.
Phillip E. Thomas was the man of the
hour, along with George Brown. On Feb

prominent citizens Of Baltimore met at the
residence of Mr.. Thomas to devise plans.
A committee was appointed to examine
carefully into the advantages of railroads
over other means Of travel and transporta-

A Hillside Bungalow.
From the Circle.

The ideal location for a bungalow is on
the side of hill, where view may be
had for miles over broad undulating
country; where one may sit and watch the
ever-changns color and shade of beauti-
full landscape as the clouds passing under a
radiant summer sun cast their shadows
over valley and hilltop.
You have often. no doubt, in your rambles
picked out the spot that suited your fancy,
but found no houses there. nor any likeli-
hood of development by enterprising build
ers. so in this illustrated article a general
outline is given of how one may become his
own builder. and erect in almost any place
a quaint artist\home for q very moderate
expenditure of time and money.

In a speech by Mr.. George Bancroft at
the celebration of the entrance of the road
into Cincinnati he pays a beautiful tribute
to Gen. Washington, and espe cally to the
city of Baltimore, which was so largely in
strumental In building the road He says:
This great work is the work of Baltimore,
and 1t may be said almost Of Baltimore
alone. for it was carried on without much
favor from its own state, and sometimes in
conflict with the rivalry of it's neighbors
Nor is this all the marvel: the work in it's
completeness has cost over $31 900 600 and
was entered upon with brave heart and
at time when the real and personal prop
erty of Baltimore was less than s27 COO 900.
But Baltimore was always brave; in the
gloomiest hour of the revolution her voice
of patriotism was loud and clear, her
conduct an example to sister cities. She is
called the Monumental city, her column
rises as memorial to the Father of his
Country. But this is her own monument;
1t spans the Aleghenies; 1t reaches from
the waters of the Atlantic to the bosom of
the Ohio. We celebrate the opening Of
direct communication between Baltimore,
Cumberland and st. Louis. This system OF
roads binds indissolubly together the east
and the west"

Best Of Games.
From A. c. MacLaren, in the Strand.

a. U
We cricketers aver that there Is no game
to touch that Of cricket, for one never
quite knows what is going to happen,
added to which the game can be played
under so many different conditions that it
calls to light all the qualities or defcien-
cies of the various players engaged as no
other game possibly can. The game must
bring out at some time or another all the
good qualities in a man, and there is
probably no game that is to the same ex-
tent provocative Of that kindly feeling
which cricketer has for cricketer.

The public spirit of Gen. Washington is
strikingly manifest not only in his pioneer
efforts for the good Of the nation, but espe-
cially in the Potomac scheme; in the or
ganization Of this company, Of which he
became president in 17s5, continuing until
11Ss, when he was elected President of the
United States. The legislature Of Virginia
passed an act vesting him with $50 shares
OF the proposed company for extending.
the navigation Of the Potomac and James
rivers Deeply sensible Of the honor shown
him, he declined it, however for he wished,
he said, to have his actions free and in
dependent as the air. But in view of the
earnest wishes of Patrick Henry, then gov
ernor of Virginia. and the legislature of
the same that his name might be identified
with this great scheme for public improve
ments, Washington finally consented to ap-
propriate the shares, not to his own use,
however, but for objects of a public nature.
Much more has been said by the historian
in regard to Gen. Washington's foresight
relative to the development Of our country
and Its waterways westward, but I trust
enough has been mentioned to show you that
1t was to his unbounded faith in the western
world, as well as his explorations of the
same, and his Ideas Of routes, SO often and
so fully expressed. that we today have the
Baltimore. and Ohio system. While he did
not live to see his ideas carried out how
he would have exulted could he but have
seen his great and cherished idea of an
international highway carried out with A
perfection and convenience which sur
passed the power Of Mis- century to imagine.

Sense Of Proportion.
Sarah Grand, in Daily Graphic.

The sense of proportion is sadly lacking
in most people. 1t is hard to make them
realize that the more interests they have
in life the better for their special vocation
The woman who thinks it impossible to do
anything but the darning in the intervals
of worrying the servants to death is the
woman who gives her unfortuna fe~~fa mily

housewife a woman must have her general

On February 10, one week later, this
committee, through its chairman, Mr..
Thomas, reported in favor Of railroads
This report was adopted and another COM
mittee of twenty-five was appointed to
apply to the legislature Of Maryland FOR
the act of Incorporation. This was pre-
sented Immediately to the legislature, and
the act to incorporate the Baltimore and
Ohio was passed February %, 1927. The
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company was
formally organized April %, 1927 The board
elected Phillip E. Thomas first president
and George Brown as treasurer. This
charter was confirmed by the state of Vir-
ginia March %, 1927, and by the state Of
Pennsylvania February o. 1928
Preliminary surveys were Immediately
begun and progressed so rapidly that on
July 4, 1928, the corner stone of the Balti-
more and Ohio was laid at Mount Clair
Junction by the venerable Charles Carroll
CT Carrolton. whose remarks as to the i'm
portapce of the occasion have been referred
to.
The first surveys were made by Col. S. H.
Long and Jonathan Knight and the route
selected was along the valley of the Pa
tapsco and thence in the direction of Ben
netts Bush, or Linganore creek, to the
point where the Potomac river passes the
Catoctin mountains. On the 22d OF May,
1890, the first division Of the Baltimore
and Ohio, thirteen and a quarter miles
long, from Baltimore to Ellicotts Mills, was
opened for passengers and transportation
In December. 1884, the road was finished to
Frederick The trial Of the first steam
locomotive in America took place August
%, 1890; it was built by Peter Cooper.
In April, 1881, council of Baltimore gave
the Baltimore and Ohio permission to lay
tracks through the city to the water front
In April, 1882, the road was opened to
Point of Rocks, or seVenty-two and one
half miles.
1t was now found that the Cooper engine
would not do, so on January 4, 1884, a
reward of $4,000 was offered for the most
approved engine to be delivered on or
before June ! of that year. One built by
Davis of York, Pa, and called the
York" stood the test and was selected
This was followed in 1892 by another
called the Atlantic" In the latter part of
1892 and the beginning of 1893 the dispute
between the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
Company and the Baltimore and Ohio was
settled, and by 1914 the road was COM
pleted to Cumberland, and by 1853 to the
west.
