movements of actual battle.
A conflict between the District Ma
tional Guard authorities on one hand
and Mayor Wentzel and Chief OF Po-
lice White of HarpeTs Ferry on the
other, was avoided today by the mayor s
agreement to return to the camp un-
loaded guns confiscated from guards

The mayer said his chief had acted
under the johnson law, which prohibits
carrying arms in this State without a
heavy bonds. At first he was inclined

Harries threatened him with drastic se-
ton for confscating parts of Govern
ment uniforms, he naade-a quick shit
and agreed to return the guns.
This closes the incident, although the
camp officials have ordered that for the
sake of peace II is best that the SOL
diers leave their guns behind even
though they are unloaded.
Three men were In the guardhouse
today for breaking globes in the town
of Harpers Ferry last night. but OIL

Learn One Thing Every Day
No. 4. ABBOTSFORI

man who at the age of f1fty-f1ve
resolves to pay off bankruptcy debt
of $500, 900 must Justly be regarded as
hero. Not many men, weakened in
health and used to all comforts, would
attempt to do this-especially when
the debt was incurred through no
fault of their own, and when the law
does not force them to pay. Yet that
is what Sir Walter Scott-the Wizard
of the North'-did, and so f1ercely did
he work at his writing-twelve, four
teen and sixteen hours day-that at
his death, six years later, every penny
of that colossal and heart-breakng debt
had been paid.
The story of Abbotsford. the home Of
the great poet and novelist, of which
he dreamed for years, and which he
plannnd and built himself, is a drama,
a tragedy itself. No sooner was the
great house finished and the dream Of
his life complete than the crash of tre-
mendous ruin fell on Scott.
1t was on a bleak winter morning in
1926 that a friend called at Abbotford
and found the novelist terribly agi-
tated
MY friend" said Sir Walter to him,
give me your hand; mine is that or
beggar." =.
The publishing house with winch ne
had been connected had failed, and
Scott took upon himself the terrible
burden of satisfying its creditors. 1t
was an apparently hopeless task for
a writer. and one in such frail state
of health as Scott, to accomplish. But
where others would have yielded to
fate, he stood up to fight it, and though
the effort cost him his life he succeed
ed. and may truly be called the most
heroic literary figure in the world.
Walter Scott was born at Edinburgh

OYSTER DREDGING
CEASES TOMORROW
Law, Not the Lack of Rs in the
Summer Months, Is the Cause
for IL

Oyster season closes tomorrow. At
least, ali taking of oysters from natural
beds in waters under the jurisdiction OF
The States of Maryland and Virginia will
be contrary to law after April IS. In
fact, the season now practically is closed
The dredging time was over a month ago
and the tongers now are allowed to work
only In the Potomac proper. After April
% the supply will come entirely from pr1-
vate beds, whose owners are allowed to
take up oysters any time
To those who believe that an oyster
eaten during a month without an r. is
certain death, this will prove no hardship
as May. June, July and August are now
at hand. Those who feel they have out
grown this old superstition will continue
to feast from the private beds.
Commenting upon the superstition con-
corning the oyster and the letter 'R, .
experts of the Health Department state
there Is nothing in the nature of the oys-
ter which replaces the r. with poison
They are inclined to believe the oyster
can be eaten with comparative safety ali
the year. Probable ground for the fall
lacy, the health officers state, is the fact
that oysters decay more rapidly In warm
weather.
Receipts at the oyster wharf have been
light since the close of the dredging sea-
son. The wharf will be deserted, except
by loungers, until the opening of the
watermelon season in August, when the
Districts earnings on the wharf will
climb again.
The longing season on the Potomac will
reopen in September and the dredging
season a month later.

INTERESTING PAGE FOR WOMAN AND THE HOME u~
DRESSES THAT ARE
A LITTLE DIFFERENT
Shops Are Trying to Give Original
Touches to Clothes Made for
Children.

The designing and making of children
clothes are now considered as important
an undertaking as the fashioning Of the
wardrobe for the grown-ups. The object
of the majority OF the shops is to pro-
cure simple, dainty dresses that are
different" They are quite as anxious
to display little original touches on their
frocks as the exclusive modiste Is to
show similar touches on the gowns for
fashionable women. This note Of indi-
viduality may be sounded in the cut, yet
the cut must not be ultra or extreme in
any way. for freakishness in children's
clothes is decidedly bad form. 1t may
also be introduced in the trimming. In
a season when color runs riot some very
effective combinations may be carried
out. For everyday wear. however. the
darker shades are the more practical
but somber frock of navy blue serge
or linen may be enlivened in a most
attractive manner by little embroidery
In which the bright blues and reds yell
low, and greens of the Bulgarian color
scheme may be exploited
In regard to style, the exaggerated low
waistline, borrowed from the East Is
the most fashionable at the present time
and becoming to the slender figure Of
the child. The dresses and coats for the
little tots who have still to count up to
five summers are made In this mode, as
well as the dresses and suits for the
schoolgirl. The belt may be of the ma
terial of the dress or of leather, which
is further accumulated by the pipings.
&c, on the frock.
A best coat for a golden-haired girl
of five is fashioned from rose poplin. and
the low-waisted effect is carried out by
three rows of shirring at the bottom.
which holc in the fullness as q wide belt
would do. The coat fastens at the side
with buttons covered with the material
and embroidered in white to match the
dainty white lingerie collar. A modest
tracery of pink hand embroidery outlines
this collar and decorates the cuffs of the
long sleeve. which has been attached at
a low shoulder line, just like the sleeves
on mothers coat. An enchanting little
poke hat of shirred pink chiffon. with
white straw crown and clusters of
pink and blue forget-me-notes. adds the
finishing touch to the costume.

DOlInas.

Here is a way to use up your coarse
outside leaves of head lettuce, bits OF
cold cooked mutton or veal, and cold
boiled rice or even hominy grits or spa
ghetti: Use equal amounts of the nfeat
and rice, season to taste with salt, pep
per, onion. and parsley, or little mint
sauce. Moisten a little with a little
white sauce and egg yolk, roll up in
lettuce leaves or tender young cabbage
leaves, tying securely, and cook them
gently for an hour in little soup broth
or water. Drain and arrange on a dish
and pour around them a sauce made of
one cup Of milk, two level tablespoons
each of, butter and -four. salt and pepper
to taste, teaspoon Of minced parsley,
little lemon juice. Never let a milk
sauce stand on the fire after adding egg
and lemon Juice. When mutton or veal
is used, or even boiled beef, a nice
change may be made by serving an
ordinary white sauce, adding fresh
grated and bottled horseradish instead
of the lemon juice and egg.

Flowers That Are Easy to Grow.

Dean Bailey of Cornell says that the
flowers he likes happen to be those
that are easiest to grow. And the dean s
knowledge of flowers is not limited, for
i'm his garden he has grown practically
every kind that appears in the cata-
logues. The flowers that anybody can
grow are SO many that there is little
excuse for being without a garden, be
il ever so small or ones time ever SO
little. Consider the ANIMALS alone. With
nasturtiums Drummonds phlox, nicoti-
ana, portulacas, salplislossis, zinnias,
marigolds, stocks (sillifower), sunflow-
ers, pansies. and cosmos, one can have
a delightful garden, and that without
working hard for it. All these varieties
are very easy to grow, asking only that
they be kept free from weeds, and the
cost is the merest trifie.

GOOD REASONS FOR
SWINGING THE ARMS

II you watch people walk you will note
that nearly all Of them move their
arms. II they walk slowly the move
ment Of their arms is scarcely percepti-
BILE; if they walk rapidly their arms
generally swing vigorously.
Most people believe this swinging of
the arms as they walk is merely a ma
tural swaying motion caused by the
movement Of the body just as the tassel
Of an umbrella will swing when one Is
walking with it, but this is by no means
the reason. The swinging Of the arms
is natural enough, but the nature of
it dates away back to those unknown
days when man was a quadruped.
OF course when man was a fourfooted
animal he walked with his arms as
we'll as his legs, and even today after
the thousands upon thousands Of gener-
atoms that have passed since he as
sumed an upright position, every time
he takes a step his arm moves a trihe,
involuntarily, as though DESTROYS OF TAX
ing a step in its turn just as it did when
man, then fourfooted, pranced up and
down the earth.
Many people can move their ears a
trife, many can move their scalps. and
there is an abundance of hair scattered
about our arms and legs, now useless
but still the remnants of the abundant
coating Of hair that once kept our an
thropoid ancestors warm.
BY keeping our minds upon II we can
hold our arms nearly motionless when
walking. but let US hurry along. think
ing of something else and our arms still
swing, proclaiming our descent from an
cestorS who walked on four limbs that
kept time altogether.
