Old Alexandrian Unearths Notes
Made at Old Capitol Prison
And Fort Warren.

Littleton Morgan Davis, FORMER
member of the Board of Aldermen
from the Third ward, and one OF our
oldest and most esteemed cltizehs'
while looking over his archives re-
recently brought to light some inter-
esting papers. Mr.. Davis was
southern soldier during the war be-
+u,aon the states and is member
of R. E. Lee Camp of Confederate
Veterans. He was at one time an
inmate of the Old Capitol prison III
Washington and after the surrender
Of Fort Warren, in Boston harDof'
Among his fellow-prisoneFs on the
latter occasion were several southern
generals, among them the late hppa
Hunton. Alexander H. Stephens, Oh
Georgia, Vice President of the Con-
federacy. and Rev. George a. smith,
and DR.. NJ. NJ. Lewis, of Alexandria.
Mr.. Davis was discharged from Fort
Warren May 81, 1865, fifty years ago
next Monday. His brother, Amerlcus
Davis, was also liberated at the same
time.
Among the papers relating to those
DAYS is d sketch of felloW-prlsoners
in the Old Capitol In the number is
Dennis Darden, who, Mr.. Davis says
was an expert at cards and aided ms
fellow companions in durance vile 70
pass away the long and dreary hours
The name of Darden will reproduce
an incident in AleXandria's history
during the civil war. At that time a
man named McCarty conducted
what had previously been known
a. the Nebraska House on the
south side of King street, between
Pitt and st. Asaph. The late Harrl;
son Jacobs was at one time assocla-
ted with him. At the close OF the
war McCarty moved to Washington
and became lobbyist at the Capitol.
! One summer night in the latter part
of the sixties Darden and McCarty
between whom bad blood existed, met
in the street, and engaged in fist
fight, during which Darden drew q
pistol and sent five balls into Nc
! Carly. The latter was attircd in Il
! Marseilles suit, and after lie fell

Plans for the New defense.

Il was not to be expected that the policy of
preparedness could be put into operation with
cut some difference OF opinion as to the methods
by which the general plan is to be carried out.
This is one OF the characteristics Of our national
way of doing things. and when II is announced
that four plans for the new defense are to be
presented to congress It is only proof that we
are living true to tradition. 1t will be on the
merit OF these plans that final action will rest,
and this will. as usual. be compromise between
the four. with the good features OF each pre-
served. perhaps. but out of It will come general
scheme that win be workable. and subject to
notifications as experience develops the need
thereof.
One encouraging feature of the situation Is
the harmony with which the political groups In
congress are approaching consideration OF the
subject Mr.. Wilton and the democratic lead
ers In congress have agreed that preparedness
will not be made part OF the caucus program
and Mr.. Mann's conferences with the president
are significant Of republican Willingness to Co
operate in the work. Opposition is certain &c
be encountered from those Of both parties who
are sincerely committed to the pacitst position
but this will not be In any sense partisan.
With an apparent majority devoted TO the
work Of providing more adequately for the de-
tense Of the country against any possible attack
all that remains 20 be determined Is the mos
useful plan. and the provision OF means for car
rying Il out We will hear a great deal from
experts this topic during the next few

Do You Know The Real
Food Value Of
Spaghetti?

When you talk about buying ten cents
or one dollars worth OF any foodstuffs.
what do you mean by WORTH" The only
measure of genuine worth in the pur-
chase of eatables must be nutrition. But
do you keep nutrition in mind when you
buy the family provisions? Let US see.
Meat Is probably your biggest item.
Yet no less an authority than Dr. Hutchi-
son. the dietitian, says that meat is
dear food. Why7 Because we pay far too
much for the amount of nutrition that
we secure. Meat contains 70 per cent
