MONUMENT is PLANNED
FOR JENNIE DEANS GRAVE
Movement to Honor Colored Mis-
sionary Worker to Be Considered
at Luray Baptist Convention.

A plan to erect a suitable monument
was colored missionary worker of
northern Virginia, will be taken up at
the coming sessions of the Northern
Virginia Colored Baptist Convention, to
be held at Luray, Va, August 1925,
and those who are interested in the
movement are anxious to obtain as
large an attendance as possible. so that
an organization to take charge of
erecting the monument may be formed
and the plan, which has long been held
in allegiance, carried out.
Jennie Dean, who died May 8, 1913,
and who is buried in the cemetery at
tached to Calvary Chapel, in Prince
William county, Va, is held in affec-
colored people, but by many white per-
sons whose respect she attained as the
result of her unseltish missionary work
She was the founder of five baptist
churches ip northern Virginia and of
the Manassas Industrial School, as well
as of the Union Baptist Sunday School
Convention of Northern Virginia and
the Northern Virginia Baptist Associa-
ton. The building of Calvary Chapel
was her first work, and she was buried
there, about a quarter of a mile from
her late home near Sudley Springs. Her
grave is still unmarked, for the reason
that no organization has ever been
been collected in northern Virginia to
purchase a monument. At the coming
convention at Luray it is expected that
a. committee will be created to receive
money and to erect to her memory a
simple memorial.

DOGFISH GETS NEW NAME.
Bureau Of Fisheries Promotes Utili.
zation BY Calling It GraYfsh.

By changing the name of the dogfsh
to grayflsh the bureau of fisheries be-
lieves that its campaign for the utiliza-
ton of what is now a wasted fisb can
be advanced. The fisheries service bull
lentin states that representatives of
the bureau are now in New England max
ing arrangements for the utilization of
the fish for food purposes and to give
the eggs, livers, skins and other parts
of the fish a value for industrial pur-
poses. limited market for the fish
for food purposes has been found in
New York, and the salted fish is being
used as crab bait in the fisheries on
Chesapeake bay and it's tributaries.
The liver oil can be used in various
industries, and there is a demand for
the eggs of the fish as a leather dress
ing. There Is some demand for the
skin In the manufacture of novelties,
and it Is believed 1t can be made into
leather that will be used extensively.
Gelatin can be made from the fins, and
it is possible the refuse will make an
excellent fertilizer. The policy of the
bureau will be to develop the grayfish
industry gradually, but the fish scien-
lists believe the fish to be Of much
value.
