Always the Capital.

Washington Is very much of a city even
when Congress Is not here: 1t is the cap
ital always. Somewhere out In the prov
inces the idea Is held that when the rep
resentatives Of the ''peepur' leave Wash
ington there il not much else here. This
belief Is in part due to the fact that
member OF Contress Is often much more
majestic. imposing and impressive out Of
Washington than in IT.
Washington eats, sleeps. wakes. plays,
works and lives when the halls of the
Senate and House have ceased to rumble
with rhetoric. The street cars run on
and on time. and II 10 just as hard to get
a strap during rush hours. The shops
are as full Of people, the bargains as at
tractive and the bargain hunters just as
fierce. The hotels do not close their
hospitable doors. and brides and grooms
come. hand in hand. and go. Tourists are
just as numerous. Work in the executive
departments and the machine shops goes
on. The theaters and the moving picture
SHOVE have good houses IL the bills are
good, and sometimes even when they are
bad. The soda fountains sizzle as busily,
and the breweries even though their out
put Is reduced, keep open. The bands
play, the flowers bloom and the newspa-
pers print almost as much real news as
when Congress sits and talks.

the ladies concluded that they needed a

conservative. Progress should not so

all these years without such improve

considered the cost. The women disagreed
with them. The styles of water systems
change. and Tarrytown had been wearing
waterworks that were as far out of
fashion as sunbonnets and hoopskirts.
They insisted on the latest mode in wa

Perhaps, in addition to his more serious

white settlement in the United States,
was founded in 1855, Acoma was men
toned by Fray Marcos de Mia in 1853
as fourishing place of about 1900 in
habitants. and was visited in s154O by
Coronado's army.
Close to Washington is town whose
origin goes back to aboriginal times This
town is Piscataway, fifteen miles south
of Washington, in Prince Georges county.
Md. 1t lies up the creek-Piscataway
creek-which the traveller sees opening
out into the Potomac Just after passing
Fort Washington. It is a very old settle
ment.
PiScataway was an important Indian
town when Capt. John Smith cruised up
the Potomac river, about the time of the
founding of the jamestown colony, in
1907 Calvert, when he came in 1884. also
saw Piscataway. and Father White, who
came with the Maryland pilgrims. mar
ried Fitzherbert, colonist, to the daugn-
ter Of Kilamaqund, King of the Piscata-
ways. Piscataway was an important
place, for the Piscataways were one OF
the oldest and most prominent Maryland
families-the Doags. Mattawomans and
Chapticos being tributary to them. Whites
began to live at Piscataway about 1910.
The town hourished in colonial and revo-
lutionary days. and did not decline into
it's present listless state until the period
of the civil war. One who takes the trou-
BILE may find much concerning Piscata-
way in the annals of Maryland.
Piscataway being an important Indian
village as early as 1907, it is reasonable
to believe that it was then an old settle
ment. The tribes of southern Maryland
were not rowing Indians. Like other
tribes Of fishing Indians, they dwelt in
permanent waterside villages and titled
patches Of maize and tobacco. They were
not travellers, as were the Senecas and
the other hunting tribes to the north. 1t
is thought that the white Piscataway oc-
cupies site somewhat removed from the
Indian Piscataway, but it is also believed
that Piscataway has had a continued ex-
istence since long before the first Euro
pean entered the limits of what is now
the United States.
