STRANGELY ASTRAY
Baltimore Statesman Disap-

ing Feast.
Lost-One crab-feast sponsored by

Lost-One crab-feast sponsored by
the Hon. George Konig, member of
the House from the sovereign and
crab-producing State Of Maryland.
Where is Mr.. Konig and where are
the crabs and where are the guests that
were to be? These questions remain
unanswered this sultry Sunday after
noon while reports from Baltimore and
Washington conflict.
Mr.. Konig, the spectacular member
from the east side of Baltimore, left
that city this morning, according to re-
ports from those who watch every
moment of that statesman. Mr.. Konig,
frequently referred to during the cam
paign as "Koonicks," told a Baltimore
admirer or SO that he was coming to
Washington to round up the guests
for his crab feast.
Speaker Chapnt Clark and all the big
ores"-meaning members of the House
and not crabs-"are coming" continued
KONG. Baltimore set about its prep
arations to entertain some Of the dis
tinguished crab-eating members of the
lower body of the national legislature.
The honorable George could not be
located in Washington today, neither
could anybody whom he has invited to
the crab feast. The Speaker Of the
House was reading the morning paper
when interrupted and asked when he
would depart for the scene Of the crab
feast.
What crab feast?" asked the
Speaker.
THE Konig crab feast" responded
the interrogation.
suRhe Speaker said that he didn't DOS
sess an invitation and that there must
be some mistake. The telephone in the
Office of Mr.. Konig jingled without an
swer. One OF the prominent members
of the Maryland delegation who assur-
edlY should have been invited-was To-
Gated. He. too. said that there must
be some mistake. He hadn't heard a
word about his colleagues intention to
supply crabs for all who would come

American is Dow Covington, who,
working with the permission of
the British government, has done
more than anybody else of this
day toward solving the riddle of
the pyramid.
on He has cleared the passage
forced into the pyramid by Caliph
Mlamoun, opened the way to the
S5 0-foot passage to the mysteri-
Gus chamber in the rock under the
pyramid, cleared certain air shafts
40 as to let fresh air into the heart
of the pyramid, and finally has
laid bare the sole remaining
course of the original casing of the
pyramid. He is still working,
hoping sometime to find the key to
the mystery Of "the stones OF
darkness" of the grand gallery,
of the five granite blocks, and of
other things about the pyramid
that are still enigmas.
The great pyramid covers near
ly thirteen acres. 1t is 451 feet
high now. but originally was 481.

flor Mrs. Madison and was i'm
mediately admitted.
Mrs. Madison took the message
and read eagerly: "The British
have won at Blandenburg and are
marching on Washington" She
was advised to fly Immediately
from the city. The message was
lsigned by her husband.
There was not a second to be
lost. Dolly Madison summoned
, her carriage and hastily packed
a few necessities of dress. AL
READY she could hear the muffled
drums of the British on the out
skirts of the city and the tramp,
tramp, tramp of the troops.
She went to the state dining
romo and packed the plate and
such of the valuable china as she
could.
In the blue room hung a full
length portrait of Washington,
painted by Stuart. ut must be
Saved" she cried. Every moment
borught danger of capture, but
with her own hands she tried to
remove the picture. 1t was too
heavy for her. She knocked the
frame to pieces and removed the
precious canvas.
Just then two gentlemen from
New York entered the room, Jacob
Baker and r. G.. l.. De Peyster.
She turned to the men.
Take this picture" she said,
'and save<it. If you cannot keep
it from the British, destroy it,"
Snatching up the declaration of
independence, Dolly Madison ran
at last from the room and entered
her carriage with her sister.
Down the avenue came the enc
my with blaring trumpets and
rolling drums. Dolly Madison's
carriage fled, as before a storm.
The horses were dashed into a
run, the carriage swaying danger
ously from side to side. Reaching
the river, they were safe at last
beyond the clutches of the enemy.
Mr.. Baker ran with the por-
trait, secreting it in a farmhouse.
The British came on, firing the
government buildings and leaving
chaos in their wake.
When the war was over and the
American cause had triumphcd,
the capital was rebuilt from its
ashes on a grander scale than be-
fore. The portrait of Washing
ton was brought back to the city
and hangs today in a prominent
place in the white house. The
declaration of independence, SO
calamity saved by Dolly Madison,
is still in possession of the govern
ment, sacredly guarded as a price,
less heritage, saved by Dolly Madi-
sons courage and devotion.

1T is estimated that it took $780,
900 blocks of stone to build it and
that its construction engaged 100,-
600 men for 20 years. There is

that is to say, its sides face exactly
the four cardinal points of the

precisely level.
Originally the outer walls of the
pyramid were perfectly smooth,
but the limestone casing has long
ago disappeared. leaving the sides
terraced like gigantic flights of

thing for a dish and what can she
do with them?

with a white sauce-corn, beans,
peas or what not-they may be

and French dressing these can be
made into tasty salads. with or

witches can be made. Mince the
ham, mix with grated cheese and

brown on each side in hot butter.
Serve piping hot.

many good things. Corn oysters
are made by beating until light

cups corn. Fold in the beaten egg
whites and 2 tablespoons floor.
Season and drop by spoonfulls in
to hot fat in skillet.
If there's cup of cold peas left,
add a small slice of onion and
cups water and simmer until peas
can be mashed easily. Season, add
2 cups milk and little thickening.

Why They Quarrel

 "Two households may stand side by side on the same street. two families live within haling distance of one an- other for years in the same commuEz- ity and yet have opposite tastes, senti- ments and convictions The children of each growing up together may marry and, until they reach the period of new adjustment never suspect how antaSon- isto has been their early training. This is one reason why the first year of mar riage is so beset with brers and thorns. Everybody knows that until people ac- tuallv dwell under the same roof they do do not mutually become acquainted. A single week spent with friend at a house. party does more to promote Intimacy or indifference than years of superficial social intercourse.
