strength it shames the f1imsy work
of modern contractors. The interior
is very interesting. The two main
rooms on the ground flour open from
the wide paneled hall with ample
smallpaned windows. In both recep-
ton room and Office the walls are
adorned with portraits, and valuable
relics in cases and in the old-fash-
Toned chimney cupboard attract the
eye. "Grandfather's clock ticks in the
corner, and an old gun fills the open
fireplace.
Across an open passage through
which sun and wind have full play,
is wing containing the quaint old
kitchen. While this separation of
the kitchen from the main body of
the house has ONE advantages, the
modern housewife would certainly
object to the unnecessary steps it
occasions. And she would doubtless
be at loss to get a meal over the
fireplace with its hanging hooks and
pots.
From the pump room adjoining the
kitchen a steep flight of steps de-
sends to an underground passage,
only lighted from an opening in the
lawn above. The other end of the
passage once communicated with the
river and thus afforded a means of
refuge and escape in case of surprise
by the enemy. That end has been
closed up, but the curious Investigator

damp. dark passage, with thoughts of
the dangerous days when such a Sc

For some eight miles the motor

enhanced by the hsstoric associations.
Many memorial tablets have been
erected, marking where different divi-

the olden huts, and standing on the
old sites. There are lines of the old
entertainments to trace, and much, else

Memorial chapel, unfortunately, does
not lie on the route taken; it requires,
and well deserves, a separate trip.
One does. however, pass the old
school house, built by Letitia Penn in
1903, which was occupied by the Con-

winter of 1777-1778. The flag floats
over it, and a group of budding citi-

This move is the initial step in
great reform in federal court pro-

by Justice White, who has often criti-

The present rules were promulgated
in 1912. They are adapted in their en-
tirety from the ancient rules of the
high court of chancery of England
and are cumbersome and complicated
in the highest degree, lending them
selves to delays and embarrassing liti-

Frame New Rules for Federal Courts

which the United States court rules OF
equity practice were adapted have
long since been displaced in the Eng
lish practice, and in almost every
minor jurisdiction in the United States
where they were in force in the last
century have been abandoned for code
procedure or amended in accord with
modern ideas and practice.
Members of the bar in commenting
on the proposed reform without excep-
ton commend it. They say that the
rules as they now stand, if rigidly en-
forced, would involve litigation in an
endless snarl. and that the present
rules have been tolerable only by rea-
son of the disregard of many of them
which have been found impractical OF
enforcement in modern procedure But
in such cases they say that special or
ders and short cuts in suits are made
to fit the individual case and thus the
whole procedure is up in the air or
in the discretion of the court" which
is in many cases just as bad.
No intimation was given by Chief
Justice White or either member of the
committee just what form the revision
will take, but it is agreed that it Will
look to the expediting of causes, and
the relief of litigants from the almost
prohibitive expense of the present
equity procedure.
