Alexandria played no small part in
the formative years of Washington's
youth and early manhood. A repre-

and for generations later for all that

pie had much to do with the molding

Belle Haven as it was first called, by
his never failing concern for its vel

Probably no surviving structure in

the Carlyle house was largely used as
a storage place by a local dealer in
colonial antiques, but a few patriotic
Virginia women saved the building
from further indignity, though not en-

In 1882 John S. Carlyle imported

Mutual Kindness.

Kindness as we'll as politeness may
be rightfully named as the lubricat-
ors of society. AS impoliteness,
either in old or young persons, male
or female, is sometimes painful and
always unpleasant, so we may say of
unkindness, that it is a sore spot, a
friction, a dreaded fault, to ever be
avoided. Kindness allays irritation,
soothes trouble, helps the needy, en-
courages the dull and discouraged,
sweetens the home, unifies the
church and ennobles society. A kind
word is like apples of gold in pictures
of silver. Many a hot temper has
been cooled down by kind words.
Many a threatened quarrel and fight
has been settled in peace and kind
ness. Many a divided and distracted
church or other organization has
quieted down and reunited by kind
counsels and kind acts. Many an
ugly faction has died a natural death
by the kindly administration of kind
ness. Many a wretched and distract
ed home has been brought to condi-
tions of peace and Joy by the mellow
ing influences of kind words and
deeds. Hearts without number, bur
dened and aching from ill-treatment,
have been relieved and blessed by
kindness. Other hearts poisoned by
jealousy and selfishness, passion and
pride. have been sweetened and puri-
fled by the cultivation of kindly feel
ings and thoughts. Kindness, to be
thorough and effective, must be re-
ciprocal as well as receivable.
Whoever would that all others
should be kind to them. must them
selves be kind to all others: on the
principle that he that would have
friends must show himself friendly
Kindliness may be misplaced some.

MADE IN THE U. S.

Made in Germany" is a trade
mark known and translated into the
language of every country of impor-
tance, and many others of which one
seldom hears. The phrase has
reached into every portion of the
globe, and must be credited as a
stamp of good quality at surprising
ly low price. Apparently our own
exporting manufacturers have been
quite Indifferent to the cumulative
value of emphasizing the fact that
their goods were made in the United
States. Now that Great Britain,
which prior to the war was an enor-
nous consumer, has put the ban on
everything Made in Germany" and
is so strongly encouraging the use of
Made in England" it has occurred
to our manufacturers it was time we
did something of the sort. Some are
using Made in America" but to be
of largest value We should state
Made in United States"
No other country has ever been
the worshiper of anything and every
thing foreign, from clocks to counts,
as the United States. We have be-
lieved, and to this our retail mer-
chants have largely contributed, that
because an article was imported it
was therefore greatly superior to our
own make. OF many articles it was
and still is true that the imported is
actually better than the homemade.
On the other hand, millions of dol
lars worth of goods made right here
in the United States have been fraud
ulently sold as imported. That Gus
| toners have gone on buying and US
ing these homemade goods for sew
eral years proves their excellence
The manufacturers guilty of this de-
ception are now paying the penalty
and must commence anew to edu-
cate the public up to an appreciation
of what they have liked under an
other name. 1t is quite time we
learn the excellence of our own prod
ucts and begin to rate ourselves al
Our real worth.
