ervation. 1t forms point of considerable interest
containing, as it does, three memorial brasses on
the gray stone slab put down in memory of Lau
renee Washington and his family. These brasses
consist of Laurence Washington's efigy shield
bearing the Washington arms, and the following
inscription:

issue iii sons and ii daughts wo laurence Dyed ye

Apparently Laurence Washington, great-great
great-grandfather of George Washington devised
this monument as a memorial to his wife, leav
ing the date of his own death blank to be filed
in after his death. This. however, has never been
done.
Two other records of the Washngtons are
found in the village of Brington. In this little
township, not far distant from Northampton,
stands the house to which the family moved from
Sulgrave It was in this house that Robert Wash
ington died in 1922. and in, the yard, engraved
upon sundial is found the Washington coat OF
arms.
In the Church of All Saints near at hand, where
Robert Washington is buried, an Inscription reads
as follows:

articles of food that did not agree with

She says:
For a number of years l suffered
with stomach and bowel trouble which
kept getting worse until was i'll

ago left off coffee and began using
Postum. My stomach and bowels
improved right along, but was so re-

using Grape-Nuts in addition to

COAST COULD
Be bLOCKADED
BY TEN SUBMARINES OF THE
u-53 CLASS, SAYS SIMON LAKE,
PIONEER DESIGNER AND BUILD
Err OF UNDERWRITERS CRAFT.

Bridgeport Conn, oct. / De
pending only upon the endurance OF
their crews, ten submarines of the
type of the U-53, reported raiding
along the Atlantic coast, could effect
lively blockade the whole Atlantic
coast of the United States.
And there would be no need OF
their coming to the surface, for they
could get all their supplies and pro
visions from undersea bases along
the coast and from submarine mer-
chantmen, like the Deutschland.
That is the opinion of Simon Lake,
pioneer designer ana builder of sub
marines.
at would be no surprise to me-
says Lake, "if the German U-boats
established a blockade of enemy ship
ping at the entrance to Delaware bay,
Chesapeake bay, Sandy Hook and Bos-
ton harbor.
1.-TWO submarines with submarine
supply bases would be ample to block
ade New York. They could carry
enough foodstuffs to iast six months
and fuel for three months"
1t has been stated that perhaps the
U-53 and other submarines are being
supplied even now from undersea de-
pots along the Atlantic coast. Lake
says this could be done.
Transfer from the base, or from
another submarine, to a U-boat under
water is easy, he says.
Each ship has a trapdoor which
can be opened. when the air pressure
inside is equaiized with the water
pressure outside, and no water can
enter the ship-jus, as is the case
with a diving bell, says Lake.
"By the use of a system of double
doors in each ship a man In a divers
suit can go from one ship to the 9TH
er, along the sea bottom, carrying
provisions or store- or any kind in
cases"
The same can be done as between
4 submarine base and a submarine,
Lake says 1t was possible that mer-
chant submarines. like the Deutsch-
and, crossing the Atlantic, supplied
he U-boats under sea and returned !
