all the hikers, especially those who
have been on our trips since their in
auguration. almost a year ago. when I
state that we have all been benefited
in even more ways than those enumer-
ated in the article referred to. Many.
for the first time. have had the dormant
love of nature and the beautiful
brought out: the esthetic has been de-
veloped and aided to a really wonder
full degree, and even those persons
least susceptible to these things and
TO the development Of the spiritual side
have had their eyes opened to the
beauties of Washington's environs and
suburbs. In every way this movement
has been very commendable, and The
Washington star has good reason to
be proud of what IL has accomplished
through Its generosity in furthering
the interest in these walks in every
way possible. giving literally of VAL
boosting the hikes Your paper can
rightly claim all the credit for the
success of the movement. which has
been of infinitely more good to the
people attending-both young and old
than any other kind of a contest or
popular scheme that any newspaper
ever started For tho mixers, I thank
you for this interest.

on vacant lots may be avoided by e1er-

warning children to keep away from

should never be set except by grown

In some cities stringent regulations
have been made for the sale of gaso-

and the fluids may be bought only in
limited quantities, while the container
must be plainly marked with the words

Fiftieth Anniversary Of Surrender at
Appomattox Should Be Made Jub-
lice. Says Lieut.. Rounds.

Observation in q fitting manner of the
fftieth anniversary Of the surrender at
Appomattox and the restoration Of peace
between the states is suggested by Lieut..
George C. Rounds Of Manassas, president
of the United States Veteran Signal Corps
Association. Such a ceremony, in the be-
lief OF Lieut. Rounds, would bring to a
hitting close the Jubilee which began at
Manassas In 1911 and eliminated at
Gettysburg In 1913.
Lieut.. Rounds has taken tho matter up
with Representative Flood Of Virginia
and with others interested in preserving
the historical associations Of Appomat-
tox, all Of those to whom the matter has
been broached having expressed willing
ness to cooperate in holding suitable
ceremonies on the site Of the closing
struggle and final surrender which marked
the close of the war between the states.
