To the Editor of The Star;

To the Editor of The Star:
In your issue of July H. you published
an article on the painting of concrete, in
which credit was given the Canadian
Engineer for the process of first treating

painted with zinc sulphate in the pro-
portion to three pounds to the gallon of
water"
Permit us to say this most successful
method of treating concrete before paint
ing was the discovery and practice of
Charles Macnichol of this city, and was
first given to the public through a paper
read before the International Association
of Master House Painters and Decora-
tors of the United States and Canada, at
the convention held at Baltimore, Feb
ruary. 1905. and also through the Ameri-
can Society for Testing Materials. Mr..

Foxall Heights is one of the many
subdivisions about Washington oc-
cupying ground to which attaches in
teresting history. 1t is q sixty-acre
tract lying to the west of Georgetown
University grounds and bounded on the
west by the Foxall road, on the north
by the New Cut road. now officially
known as Reservoir street, and on the
south by the tracks of the Glen Echo
electric line.
The name Foxall Heights has been
given to the property by reason of the
fact that it was once owned by Henry
Foxail. an Enghshman by birth, who
owned and operated a foundry in part

Little Boys Play With Matches
Threshers Save Property.
Crosby, N. D., Nov. A serious
fire was narrowly averted. caused by
two little boys playing with matches.
Little Zenith Boregan. who has been
visiting several days in the Ramsfield
home in Lincoln Valley township, and
Selmer Ramsfeld, both boys being
about 6 years of age, were playing in
a small building used as a coal shed
and store house on the Reveland
homestead a short distance from the
Ramsfield' home. Finding some match
es the little boys thought it would be
great sport to see some waste paper
burn which was piled in the corner
of the building. The paper was light
ed and the little boys. realizing what
they had done, ran with little. pals
for water to put out the fire. When
they returned from the we'll the build
ing was all in flames and the boys,
greatly frightened, ran to tell their
mother. L. c. Tansem's threshing
crew was working near by, discovered
the fire and Immediately rushed to
the buildings. The shed in which the
fire started was past saving and the
fire had spread to Mr.. Reveland's
shack. which was saved through the
efforts of the threshing crew. Aside
from the good scare the boys received,
no serious damage was done aside
from the total destruction of the store
room and a small strip of country be-
ing burned over.

YOUR MONEY.
(By John M. oskison.)

(By John M. Oskison.)
In 1910 Massachusetts, put thrift
instruction into, her public schools.
The action came. Is a direct result of
old age pension commission. Let
me quote. something Of what that
commission said: 4-...,
Whatever solution Of the problem
of old age pensions may ultimately
be settled upon, It is certainly most
desirable to take every practical
measure to encourage habits of saw
ings throughout the population.
The teaching Of thrift in the
ual and social ethics of saving in
general, and should also illustrate the
principles of insurance and invest
ment in particular"
Since the 1910. law. thrift in the
Massachusetts schools has been
taught very largely through lectures
by members Of the Massa chusetts
Savings Insurance league. AS : the
league puts it,. its object is:
ITO inculcate the virtues of thrift
and foresight and the spirit of self
help among the working people Of
Massachusetts,, especially by bring
ing to their attention the advantages
Of securing life insurance and old
age annuities at actual cost" =
Here Is an excellent beginning.
You know that in Massachusetts, you
a buy life insurance from your
savings bank at q lower cost thar
from the regular commercial COM.
panies. : The league say that more
than 5000 men and women in Massa.
chusetts hold the savings insurance
policies.
That commission which studied the
subject of old age pensions made. an.
other suggestion as to the way thrift
may De taught in the schools. It said:
THE arithmetic Of saving could be
taught effectively by, using mathe-
NAUTICAL examples in the school texts
which should bring out clearly. the
methods Of saving and investing
money"
Savings bank insurance is young
and little known; especially laws ar,
needed by every state to, make it
popular. Not SO with the proposition
to write into our school text book
the principles Of saving and using
money, which are the foundation
true thrift. You and your neighbol
can urge~1hct upon your school board
1T any time and anywhere.

PRIEST SLAYER
THOUGHT insane
Beloved Chicago Church
Head Supposedly the
Victim of Worry.

Chicago, Ill, Nov. 4.-When the in
quest into the murder Of Thomas J.
Patterson, a Chicago ticket agent, is
resumed tomorrow, 1t is believed that
the circumstances in this remarkable
stabbing affair will establish the men,
tai arrangement of Rev. Father ]. j.
Mullen, a much-loved Chicago pastor,
who is held in the county Jail charged
with the deed.
The clergyman was studious and
ambitious. and new honors were about
to. come to him from Rome. He was
soon to have left his beloved parish
toner's Of the Holy Rosary church to
AXE an important Office at the head Of
a religious order in Rome. His fol-
lowers believe that worry I've leav-
ing them, or perhaps a mental break
down from study and overwOrk, caus-
ed the tragedy which has come into
the young priests life and wrecked it.
Il kill a man? 1 never harmed
anyone in my life," was the statement
Father Mullen made to a friend who
interviewed him in n jail.
The stabbing affair took place, on
October 20 at Hillside. near Mount
Carmel cemetery. Behind the killing
is a story Of an automobile ride into
the country to pick mushrooms, a riot
in a saloon. n fighting outside in
the street, Father Mullen had gone to
Hillside with Paul Simmonni. one of
his parishionere. Simmonni declares
they had lunch together at the saloon,
and that while eating. the priest sud
denly became violent. He threw his
untouched glass of soda on the floor
tried to quiet him, but the priest ran
from the place, says his companion.
Later Father Mullen ran toward the
railroad station, and 1t Is there that
the ticket agent, Thomas J. Patter-
son was fatally stabbed. His COM
panion believes that the clergyman
mistook Patterson for an enemy.
The details of the affair will be un-
folded at the hearing tomorrow, for a
today. Many Of the p~arishioners will
attend. That insanity will be the
priests plea as an explanation of his
act was indicated by his attorney,
Leroy K. Hackett, in a statement
made after the postponement Of the
inquest.
suitable observations Of his condition
may be made" he said.
Fred Patterson. son Of the murder
ed man, declared he was satisfied the
assault was without p~rovocation, but
that there are circumstances that
might explain the clergyman's act.
hat the pastor was attacked with
a sudden and violent fit Of Dement'S
was the only explanation his friends
could offer for his conduct. DR.. Ste.
phen ~Pietrowicz, former superintend-
ent of the Dunning Insane Asylum ex-
amined the pastor and said afterward
Il found a scalp wound on his head
There Is no doubt that he is suffering
from conclusion Of the brain, which
accounts for his strange actions.
States Attorney Quinn, who was as
signed to the case, visited Hillside and
went over the scene of the killing
He Intercepted many witnesses and
found conflicting stories. He learned
when the pastor reached the railroad
station after his flight from the saloon,
an alteration arose with Patterson.
Father Mullen plunged a knife into
the ticket agents side. no says, and
left him to die outside the station
door.
