Began Newspaper Work in 1862.
Mr.. Croggon was probably the old
est newspaper man in Washington. He
entered the work in 1852, writing many
stories of the civil war and coming into
characters of that time. He continued
in active newspaper work until 1894. at
which time he retired. He wrote spe-
Probably the best known of these
were those in series on "Old
Washington" During his long serv-
ice he met many prominent per-
sons and had many interesting ex-
periences. His memory for names. dates
and other data was remarkable and
stood him in excellent stead in his
reminiscent work.
He was a native of Washington, hav-
ing been born October II, 1885, on the
site now designated as 1315-1317 F
street northwest. He attended Hen
shaw's public school, one of the earliest
public schools established here. During
his life he saw hundreds of acres con-
verted from pasture lands and wood
lots to business places and residence
sites. He began his career as a clerk
in the grocery establishment of the late
B. W. Reed, which was located on the
present site of the Ebbitt House, but he
soon turned to journalism.

dividual success for which the rest OF

for whom there is no hope in America
The path of American success Is the

I'VE do not exist to make statistics Of

population displayed before the world.

II should protect women. I should

last analysis Is the enemy of the pro-
ductive capacity of this country. the
country cannot stand that sort of
thing"
Topics Discussed at San Diego.
Mr.. Hughes. addressing an audience
on the exposition grounds at San Diego
Yesterday outlined his views on the
protective tariff, dominant American
ism, national unity and preparedness.
Mr.. Hughes cited the removal of the
tariff on sugar by the Underwood act
as an illustration of a policy to which
he was opposed.
''Why should there have been an at
tempt to cripple and destroy the sugar
industry in this country ne salu.
WAS there any reason for It! was
there any craftsmanship In 1tT was IL
called for by the country? No.
Our friends discovered their mistake
after a while, but we desire to be rep
resented by those who have foresight
and not simply hindsight.
America must be sound and honest
In its public life, but it must be busi-
nesslike; it must direct, 1t must be pa
triotic with America first and America
efficient"
Mr.. Hughes spoke of the need of 'in-
dustrial cooperation.
THE man who looks upon his labor
ers simply as mere economic units has
not caught the vision of the twentieth
century" he said.
What we need in this country Is not
demagogery. nor standpatism. but the
sense of a deep desire to benefit our
fellow man by working together to that
end, according to the spirit of our in
stitutionS."
I'VE do not wish to wait" Mr. Hughes
continued, until an important industry
is crippled and in danger of destruc-
ton"

opportunity to enjoy their hospitality.

tween Los Angeles and Sacramento he

In filming The Sting of Victory"
Henry B. WalthalI's next feature,
beautiful mansions of southern design
were to be found in numbers at Lake
Forest, Chicago's millionaire suburb.
Just north of this is an excellent
battlefield location, Camp Logan. In
normal times there are the soldiers OF
Fort Sheridan in the same locality, and
the boys of the Great Lakes training
station, together with numerous Chi
cago guard regiments to draw on.
Just as the beautiful north shore
can furnishe southern homes or Ital-
ian villas with equal ease, so can the
city proper give any desired architec-
ture. William Gillette found in Chi
cago locations which duplicated the
worst parts of London for his "Sher-
lock Holmes"
Fine Scenery in Wisconsin.
Lake Michigan can look like an
ocean any time a camera is trained on
it. and If other Aquatic scenes are de-
sired the most beautiful lake region in
the country lies only an hour or two
away in Wisconsin.
In northern Wisconsin the primeval
wilderness stands preserved in state
parks. Thus, when such a setting was
required for THE Return of Eve"
Edna Mayos next feature, it was a
simple matter to transport a company
to the famous Dells of the Wisconsin
river, where the territory still is TO be
seen as it lay when the Chippewas
roamed over it before the coming of
the white men.

the simplest with one camera all in
