Washinuton Monuments Cap.

The first practical use ever made Of
aluminium was in fitting cap on the
peak Of the Washington monument In
1884. Although aluminium was discOv-
cred in 1921 by Professor Wohler of
Gottingen university. Germany, at that
time it was practically an unknown
metal, the cost and difficulty of its pro
ductiOn having prevented its develop
ment until the general use Of electric
ity made it easy and economical. The
cap on the top Of the monument is a
square pyramid in shape, weighing 100
ounces. and is 80 inches I'm height and
SO inches in width at the base Gen
eral George w. Davis was In immedi-
ate charge of the completion of the
monument under General Casey and
has the distinction OF being the first
man to handle aluminium In a prac-
teal way Until that time IT had been
used only for toys for freak pur-
poses. and small samples had been
utilized in making models for the pat

Indians and War Paint.

The Indians have tradition that
tells how the custom of painting their
faces originated. a certain big chief
while hunting deer was chased by Il
lion and fell exhausted, calling upon
the Big Bear, which Indians believe
was the grandfather of man. to save
him. The Big Bear heard and went to
the mans assistance. scratching his
foot and sprlnkling the blood over him.
No animal will eat bear OF taste bis
blood, and when the lion smelled it he
turned away. But in doing sc he
scratched some of the blood off the In
dams face with his claw by accident
When he found himself unhurt. the
Indian was so thankful that she let
the blood dry on his face. With the
marks of the lions claws this gave the
effect of stripes, and ever afterward
when going ON hunting expeditions for
man or beast the Indian painted his
face in stripes as charm against
danger

WHAT STATE AID HAS DONE

Our contemporary, the Richmond
News-Leader, which has always
taken a marked interest in the good
road cause, publishes the following
brief epitome OF New Jersey sprogress
along this line:
In 1891 New Jersey instituted her
policy OF State aid in the matter OF i'm
proving and building public highways,
the first appropriation by the, Legislature
to the cause being 10000 dollars. From
this beginning the system has expanded
until now Jersey has 151 miles OF good
roads constructed, at a total cost OF
$685., 939. Ten years ago, it is stated,
g candidate for the legislature declaring
in favor OF liberal State aid for the roads
was likely to be defeated. Now all legis-
lative candidates stand for good roads
as q matter OF course.
At a recent meeting Of the rosdmakers'
convention held at Pittsburg, Road
Commissioner Hutchinson, OF New
Jersey, declared that the State aid law
had done more for his State than any
other statute. The improvement OF one
thoroughfare, he added, had resulted in
an increase Of property values amount
ing to more than four million dollars,
and farms along it about to be aban-
doned now command high prices. Than
this no stronger argument in favor OF
liberal good road legislation could be ad-
duced.
The above is a most convincing
argument in favor ofState aid. Last
year a State aid plan was inaugu-
rated in Virginia, and the step was
wisely taken. The next Legislature
will no doubt follow up the work OF
the last one by giving further help
and encouragement to the move
ment. The people should see to it,
therefore, that candidates for that
body announce themselves in favor
of policy calculated to so greatly
benefit the people.

The First Fly Fishers.

Doubtless The reason why artificial

cause IL was impossible to use the
smaller and more delicate natural flies

fisher cast his eyes about him in search
of something that would answer in
Initiating the flies upon which the trout

the old red cocks hackle was the first
Of all the artificial insects, the Old, old
Adam of them all The breed has
been increasing for several hundred
years and numbers 1000 or more at
the present day. OF salmon flies alOn"
there are several hundred patterns.
These belong to the lure order mostly,
as do many of the large flies used for
bass and trout. The little old red hac-
kle remains good fly to this day and
is put upon bodies of many cOlOrs, pea
cock harl being perhaps rs well liked
as anything: red wool is favored by
many.-FOrest and Stream.

LEE AND HISTORY

General Robert f. Lee is regarded,
both at the North and at the South,
by competent military critics as the
greatest general brought out during
the war between the States, and by
impartial Judges he is inv ariably so
regarded. To concede him this posi-
ton is no reflection upon any other
general Of either army and does not
detract for one moment from the
reputation for bravery, courage and
military skill acquired by any other
officer Of either army, audit not only
is not wrong, but it is eninently
right that the youth OF this country
North and South should be taught
this fact az a historical truth. To
teach the school children a different
sorry would lead TO delusiOn OF the
young mind which could only last
until such time as personal inves-
tigation later is life would reveal the
truth. and yet, in Ohio, where sec
tional feeling seems to linger longer
than in any other quarter of the
North, Frank d. Tubbs, principal OF
the high school at Marion, a city of
10000 population, will lose his posi-
ton as the result OF a speech he made
recently to the senior class while
teaching history.
Tubbs believes Gen. Robert E. Lee
was one of the greatest generals IN
the world, and his statement to that
effect was taken up by the Grand
Army of the Republic, with the re-
suit that the Board of Education
has demanded his resignation.
Joseph Klinefelter, leader of the
movement ousting Tubbs, said:
ut seems as though the pupils are
taught to regard the Southern lead
ers as even greater men than the
Northern generals; if that feeling ex-
lists it destroys patriotism, for even
though the ability Of the Southern
leaders cannot be questioned, yet
they were traitors TO the country
and school-children should never be
taught to revere their names.
1T is not the proper thing to pic
ture Robert E. Lee as a success, and
reviewing his brave deeds. Even
though we assume that he was con-
scientious in his work, he was a
traitor nevertheless, and the spirit to
modify and glorify a traitors name
is not conducive to cultivate patriot
ISM"
Mr.. Tubbs is right to teach his
pupils the truth, and it is small
business to dismiss him for 50 doing.
Neither does it destroy patriotism to
teach the American boys truth.
There is as much patriotism in the
South today as there is in the North,
and yet our boys and girls have al
ways been taught and will always be
taught that Robert f. Lee was one
of the greatest generals Of the world
and that the history of the Civil War
makes this truth apparent.
