ton given women taking the
Short Course in Home Econo-
omics at the University Of Mis-
souri, at Columbia November / to
December II. This is the inn
preston of a visitor looking
over the products from a labora-
tory course in canning and pre-
serving. The women in the
short course learn fully how to
can and preserve fruits and veg
etables, how to make jellies and
Jams and how to save money by
preserving these food materials
at a time when they might be
wasted.
The amount of food put up by
girls in the home economics de.
partment would stock well any
household preserve closet. Al
the same time, they are learning
, the best methods of preserving
these products. They learn, no.
} only why to do a thing, but hov
: to do it, and they get plenty o.
| practice.
In class work, every variety o
fruits and vegetables availabl
is treated in as many ways as i
can be used in the Ordinar,
J home. Students learn, not onl,

The Fragrance of Fresh Lilacs.
Our most recent acquisition is
a very fine line of perfumes and
toilet waters, known as the Syl-
vodora Line, which are made ex-
clusiveIy for the Penslar Stores
of the United States.
One of these odors is Lilafior.
1t will prove to you that at last
the perfumer has succeeded in
capturing the subtle sweetness
lof the lilac bloom.
Lilafor has all the delightful
fragrance of the freshly plucked
blossoms and you will find that
its character remains true to the
very last-so long as even the
f%aintest suggestion of perfume
can be detected.
We offer both the perfume anC
the toilet water - exactly tn,
same Lilaffor odor. The onl!
way for you to appreciate Lila

was built in 1882, and is said to be
the oldest building of English con-
struction in America. The brick church
of Bruton parish in Williamsburg was
built in 1888
These instances OF seventeenth CEN
tury brick buildings might be multi
piled indefinitely. Yet in all this
seventeenth century brick construction
there is no mention of a church or
mansion being built of brick from
England. Generally the brick was
made not far from where the building
was being erected. Clay out of which
satisfactory brick might be made
could be found nearly everywhere. as
1t is today, and brick clay of the best
quality occurred in many localities.
Bricklayers or brickmasons were
among the early settlers in Virginia
and Maryland. Many artisans and
laborers were also among the early
arrivals or "adventurers," and with
workingmen of all classes coming in
large numbers to the new world 1t
would be astonishing II after few
years they could not erect houses of
native brick. 1t may injure another
myth to write that a vast majority

Yam, the Japanese attacked the Russian
position, which was held by Kuropat-
kin for nearly week, without results;
then Oyama sent the first army under
Kuroki to turn the left wing of the
Russians. Kurokis movement was
wholly unknown to the Russian COM
mander, and the Japanese reached a
position whence they renewed the at
tack. compelling the Russians. in order
to preserve their line of communica-
ton, to retreat. II Kuropatkin had
possessed a small aviation reconnoiter-
ing force. it would have reported to him
that Kurokrs first army in moving
upon the flank was separated from the
main army by an interval of ten miles
or more. and that the Japanese forces.
which he supposed to be larger than his
own, were really inferior. This knoWl-
edge would have given Kuropatkin a
great opportunity to destroy the army
under Kuroki while holding Off the
balance of Oyama's command.
These instances, as events go heeting
in the great contest, are almost dead
matters now, but they establish the
absolute indispensability in modern
warfare OF aerial scouting.
All this brings one to the fact that

this applies to the fighting material In

other house or houses in Washington was or
were built of brick brought from England? This
is an interesting historical question and doubt
many readers would like to see something au-
thoritative in regard TO the matter. Perhaps
James CroSgon can furnish the informa ton.
The house that was built Of brick
from England is fable.
The first brick house that was built
In Virginia was erected by Squire
Kemp at jamestown and it was built of
native brick and not English brick,
though the brickmakers were probably
English and the bricklayers almost GER
tainly were English. and brick were
made Of the same size and style as
then made in England and were laid in
the so-called English bond.
Samuel H. Yonge, who has done more
research work on jamestown Island
and on the subject of jamestown than
any other man, writes in his Site OF
Old James Towne" as follows:
Interesting information is supplied by the Am
bier papers regarding the three and a half acre
tract Of Col John Page Of 1881. shown The
the Map Of James City is covered by. Sir
Capt. Roger Smith The Page tract included the
original grant from Harvey to Richard Kemp,
esq, in 1889, who conveyed 1t to Wyatt; Wyatt.

atiyely and absolutely. Cardinals and
catbtrds whistled and sang in the
shrubbery along the tracks. and pair
of cardinals came upon the railroads
right of way, walked the ties and
hoped upon the rails over which
trains had recently passed and were
soon to pass again. 1t seemed a
strange place for birds, but they ap-
peared to be very much at home.
If you will turn your back on the
quarry lake and continue along the
railroad and through Kensington you
will cross the fll which carries the
railroad across the valley of Rock
creek. There used to be a long. high
trestle there. but that was in the days
of cheaper railroad construction. The
stream which winds down this valley
you will probably not recognize as
Rock creek. because 1t does not much
resemble the waterway which foams
over powders through Rock Creek
Park Below the railroad fill the stream
makes a wide loop before finding the
culvert through which it must pass on
its way to Washington and the Po-
tomac.
The Rambler was told that some en-
gineering reason induced the railroad
to change the course of Rock creek at
the point where the tracks cross the
valley. Far down below the railroad
tracks and close by the edge of the lit
tie stream Is long-deserted house now
rapidly becoming ruin. A person who

masses of rock were exposed and the
quarry was suggested. 1t was opened
and operated soon after the construc-
tion of the Metropolitan branch and
was on property then owned by AL
fred Ray. 1t lies now very close to
and perhaps within the actual boun-
daries of one of Washington's pretty
suburbs. that is called Capitol View,
and the automobile road from Forest
Glen to kensington passes close to the
quarry, but not in view of it. 1t would
be necessary to leave the road and
walk through a tangle of dry, dead
weeds before coming to point where
it would be possible to look down into
the quarry. A man walking along the
railroad tracks can stand at the open
side of the blasted place and close to
the water. Many of the boys of the
neighborhood use the quarry pool in
summer as a swimming hole, and close
by the cinder path along the railroad
they have constructed a springboard
from which to dive into the cool depths
during the good old summer time. In
winter the neighborhood boys use this
quarry lake as skating pond.
On the high ground above the quarry
and on the southerly side is an acre
of old quarry debris which weeds and
grasses are exerting themselves to
cover. At the southerly extremity and
on lower land is the ruin of a rough
stone wall. stone piers and bits of
rusty machinery with indications of
