GENEAL0GY.
Observation-Disclosures.
By rederic ]. Haskin.

For a number Of years genealogists
have been discussing the value of series
OF papers known as the Chalkley manu-
scripts, SO called because they are copies
made by Judge Lyman Chalkley of
Staunton, Va, Of the old court records
of Augusta county at a period when the
territory Of several states was included
in that county. The publication of these
records. which will probably be concluded
within the current year. is regarded by
many as one of the most important gen.
ealogical achievements Of the world
There is no single genealogical publication
in existence in either Europe or America
which contains information valuable to
people in so many localities.
genealogist, known in Europe and
for his published works, divides
the settlement of the original American
states into three major divisions: The
settlement of jamestown, Va, by Eng
land by the Puritans, and the settlement
of Augusta county by the Scotch-lrish
Presbyterians, the first party Of which
came to America in 1927. Most OF these
people came from Ulster in north Ire
land, where they had been encouraged
to emigrate by James I of Scotland
after that portion of Ireland had been
devastated and almost depopulated by
it's long series of wars.
Because Of the numerous difficulties
arising over land titles in Ireland, these
people, after a residence of a century or
more in iceland, began to emigrate to
America in large numbers. Despite their
residence in Ireland they had preserved
their Scottish characteristics, as well as
their religious principles. and their many
sterling qualities made them a most i'm
portant factor in the settlement Of this
country

FAVOR STRICT LAW
Senators Confer on District
Liquor Measure.
NOW FRAMING PROVISIONS
Entirely New Excise Bill MAY Be
Recommended to
Congress.

Looking to the framing Of bill for
the more stringent regulation of the
liquor traffic in the District. following the
suggestions that were made at the recent
hearings on excise matters in the Dis
trlct, informal conferences between men,
bers of the subcommittee on excise and
liquor legislation of the Senate District
committee are almost daily occurrences.
1t is expected that formal meeting of
the subcommittee will be held about the
middle of next week, to put on the finish
ing touches and make ready to report the
legislation to the full District committee.
Senator Jones. who is chairman of the
subcommittee and actively interested In
excise legislation for the District, and
Senator Works. who has put in bill to
reduce the number of saloons in the
National Capital to 100. held conference
Yesterday afternoon and talked over the
changes In the liquor laws which they
think advisable, and they are working
separately today in framing provisions of
law that will meet their views.
Lea Also Interested.
Senator Lea of Tennessee, another
member Of the subcommittee. has also
shown an active interest in the move
for more stringent liquor legislation, and
he has conferred with both Senators
Jones and Works. His ideas. it is un-
derstood. are generally in accord with
those of the other two members of the
subcommittee The three make ma
jority of the subcommittee. So it is
taken for granted that the subcommittee
will recommend to the full District COM
mittee important changes in the excise
laws that will reduce the number of
saloons and give the excise board greater
powers in refusing licenses.
AS the changes in the present law
which are known to be favored by the
members of the subcommittee are many
1t is believed the bill they will recon-
mend will be an entirely new excise law
rather than an amendment of the present
law.
Works to Urge Bill.
1t is known that Senator Works will
urge the provisions of his bill limiting the
number of saloons in the District to 100
and increasing the license fee. In oppo-
sition. 1t may be argued that the fixing
Of definite number will make 1t diff
ficult for the excise board to say which
saloons shall be closed and which remain
open, and that 1t would be better to
make more stringent regulations enlarg-
ing the dry zones around churches and
schools and thus cut down the number.
During the hearings. the members of
the subcommittee who attended indicated
that they believed In giving the excise

more than 50 per cent Of the representa-
tives and senators now in office are de-
scendants from the early settlers of this
district. The number of professional
men Of all classes who are OF Augusta
county stock is said to be in excess of
those descended from the New England
states.
The work Of preparing these old rec
OrdS for public use was undertaken by
Judge Chalkley not for money. but for
the purpose of erecting a historical mon
ument to his own name. All the tran
scripts were made with historical &C.
curacy as well as a full legal knowledge.
Some Of the spelling is peculiar, as
judged by modern standards, and in
few cases the spelling of proper names is
called into question, but little thought
will enable tie reader to understand how
1t was possible for German clerk of the
court to write "Swoliven" for Sullivan.
and the original spelling Is usually given
excepting in cases of known error.
The records are arranged in chronology
ical order and 1t is asserted by genealo
eists who have examined the completed
manuscripts that they are as free from
error as 1t Is possible for such a work TO
be. 1t will be published In three large
volumes and an important feature will
be the index, which will include every
name mentioned in any record which
will be especially helpful to amateur
genealogists.

tions in the country.
With the increased interest In geneal-
ogy in all parts of the country comes the
demand for more books of historic rec
ords in the genealogical departments of
the public libraries. which are being es-
tablished in such numbers. and the need
of more material regarding the ante
cedents OF the families who settled the
middle west has been keenly felt. The
books covering this section have been
few and incomplete, and it Is believed
that the publication OF these full records
will be a key to those already existing
without in any sense duplicating their
contents.
Aside from their genealogical value,
these old records are full of interest to
any one concerned with the life and Gus
toms Of the early Americans. They tell
of claims secured from Indians by the
payment Of strings of beads or steel
knives. Land grants were made for plots
extending from two black oaks west to
a white oak and thence north sixty-five
degrees to an elm tree and thence 176
poles east to q forked black oak

ANY person desiring abundant glossy
hair should use dry shampoo frequent

THIN FOLKS MADE FAT

Good, healthy flesh can only be gain
ed by the use of the proper food, to-
gether with natural action of the or
gans of assimilation. Nine people out
of ten in order to weigh as much as
they ought and be perfectly healthy
should use Samose, the great flesh
forming food and health restorer.
Weigh yourself before commencing to
use t-.ese little tablets, and see how
your weight increases from week to
week.
Samose does not contain a particle
of starch or pepSin, nor is it any
nauseating preparation, such as is US
ually recommended to make people fat
and which does not build up good
healthy tissues. Samose has valuable
hesh-forming properties, tones up and
strengthens the whole system, helps
the food that is eaten to be assimi-
lated in a natural manner and abso-
lutely restores health to all the or
gans.
If you are not perfectly satisfied
with the results from Samose, Geo

your money without any quibbling.
