rights. Henceforth he was sole own
er of the estate; an estate which had
been in the family since its acquisi-
ton by grant in 1910, and which re-
mained in the family until sold in
1858 by John Augustine Washington
to the Ladies' Mount Vernon as
ISOLATION.
These facts, which shed some inter-
esting light on the early history of
Mount Vernon, were obtained by Mr..
Callahan after constant study of the
old official records of the courts and
vestry books of the counties in this
part of Virginia. They establish be-
yond all doubt the truth which is that
the central part of the Mount Vernon
mansion was built by General Wash
ington's father. that General Washing
ton lived there for two years when n
baby. and that his father built what
Is now the most conspicuous landmark
on the place-the old barn.
Visitors to Mount Vernon during the
past few months have had opportunity
to witness the interesting work of re-
roofing WaShington's old home, the
historic mansion wherein he died. 1t
Is learned that this is the fourth time
the roof has been shingled, the other
dates being 1742, 1885 and 1850. In
each instance the material selected and
used was the best cypress shingles.
A short historical review of the con-
struction and alteration of this old
dwelling may be worth notice, as few
among the many visitors happen upon
information on the subject. The cen
trnl portion of the present building was
erected In 1923 for Maj. Lawrence
Washington, who named 1t the Mount
Vernon "Villa," out Of respect for Ad-
miral Edward Vernon of the British
navy, under whom he had been serving

Run Of Egg Mixtures.

Melt two tablespoonfuls of bacon
drippings in a frying pan; add two
lambs kidneys that have been cut
into dice and toss them about in the
hot dripping for three minutes. Then
add sufficient thick brown sauce to
moisten, and season with pinch of
paprika and one tablespoonful of wor-
cestershire sauce. Prepare an ordinary
omelet from the yolks of four eggs
beaten with little salt, pepper and
four tablespoonfuls OF water, and when
very light fold in the stiffly whipped egg
whites. Turn into an omelet pan In
which has been melted one tablespoon
full of butter and cook very slowly un-
til well risen. Then spread with the
kidney mixture, sprinkle with chopped
parsley, and turn over, after loosening
the sides, into neat half circle. Tip
the pan gently, so that the interior Of
the omelet may cook through, and
serve inverted on hot platter.

Why Washington Was Not a sioner

AT the time the Declaration of Inde-
pendence was given to the world,
washington was mt the head of the
patriot army In New York state. trying
hard to keep Lord Howe and his Brit
ish soldiers from capturing the state ;
and that is why his name does not ap-
pear among the signers Of the immor-

REAR VIEW OF HISTORIC MOUNT VERNON.

This he did in 1885, by adding a
spacious banquet hall at one end and
a library and bedroom at the other.
The pitch of the room was changed
and dormer windows arranged to
make the attic available for sleeping
apartments, these Improvements result
ing in an 1S-room house, which there
after was dignified by the term IMAM
sion." In changing the roof a large
quantity of the original shingles (of
1743), though considerably weather
worn on the exposed surfaces, were
found good enough to use again by
turning them over. This evidence of
Washington's resourcefulness has re-
Gently come to light by the temporary
uncovering Of portion of the east
portico roof, which for the better she'd
ding of rain, had been slightly changed
in 1860, revealing a few courses of the
shingles of 1743 and 1855. These
mute reminders of the past are now
again sealed from view and SO pro-
tected as to remain intact as long as
the mansion shall endure.
When the Mount Vernon Ladies' as
ISOLATION came into possession of the
homestead the mansion was empty.
Unceasing effort has been and is be-
ing made to recover the original
things, but they are widely scattered
and held by people who are reluctant
to give them up. From time to time,
however, some of the old pieces are Of
fered for sale, but as general rule,
the pt~ces asked are almost prohibi-
tive. The government purchased q
number of Washington relics many
years ago. Among the present collec-
ton at Mount Vernon are many pieces
of furniture of contemporaneous inter-
est which have been accepted tempo
rarily to fill vacancies in the various
rooms, but as rapidly as original Wash
ington articles are secured the nom
original are eliminated.
Until recently the owners have had
nothing definite to guide them respect

tained, but there has now been found
the inventory made by the appraisers
of Washington's effects shortly after
he died. This important document will
be Of inestimable assistance in accu-

Cincinnati man tells how to dry

You corn-pestered men and women
need suffer no longer. Wear the shoes
that nearly killed you before, says this
Cincinnati authority, because a few
drops Of freezone applied directly on a
tender, aching corn or callus, stops
soreness at once and soon the corn or
hardened callus loosens so it can be
lifted off, root and all, without pain.
A small bottle of freezone costs very
little at any drug store, but will posi-
lively take of every hard or soft corn
or callus. This should be tried, as It

tate the surrounding skin.

st. Pauls had originally, besides the
main entrance at the Hudson river
end of the church, north and south
doors, on each side of the church, with

erected in their places. One of these
pews was reserved for President
Washington, the other for the gov
