"woozY"-WELL RATHER.
Alpha Onlicron Club Celebrates Hal
lowe'en With a Weirdly Charming
Party in Church Parlors.

Black cats leering from multi
colored walls and pumpkin-faces that
winked derisively transformed the par
lors of the Methodist church into a
rendezvous for COLLINS on Monday
evening when the Alpha Omicrons as
sembled for their yearly celebration of
Hallowe ZEN. The party was "woozy -
to say the least. Apples vanished with
witching rapidity, haunting questions
were strangely answered, and trembling
hands clutched clammy things that
dropped from midnight darkness. As
if that wasn't enough for one evening
a luncheon was served at ten o'clock
in a room flashing with orange and
black and lighted with Jack-o- Lanterns.
There was music too. In keeping with
the air of mystery SO admirably sus-
tanned Miss Sara Won VALID sang
" Somewhere Voice is Callingo and
charmed her hearers with the sympa-
thetic quality Of her voice and the art
of her Interpretation. The selection
furnished fitting finale to the even
ing's festivities and sent the merry
makers home with feeling that
even the war had failed to crush the
wholesome fun of Hallowe ZEN.

Splendid Work of D. A. r.

To come down to present-day wom-
en-, the Daughters of the American
Revolution have surely done their part
for American independence. They have
accomplished an immense amount Of
memorial work, and there is hardly a
city or town on the Atlaptic seaboard
in or near which battles of the Revo-
luton were fought where there is not
some evidence of their work in record
ing the revolutionary deeds of their
ancestors, their aim being to perpetu-
ate the memory of the heroes who
wrought independence for our coun-
try.
American independence was mani
tested and sustained by the women at
the time of the Revolution, as it was
in later years, and as it is being mani
tested and sustained today in every
section of our land
The midland journal., 1917-06-29
Friend of Great Men.

About this time the revolutionary
spirit was running high, and Ann Ram
say became fully imbued with patri-
otic fervor. Her zeal took the form of
collecting money for the equipment
and use of the army, and so great
was the confidence placed in her abil-
ity in this regard that she was made
treasurer of all moneys collected for
the purpose in the township of Alex
andria.
So successful were her efforts that
she turned over sum exceeding $780,
900 to the cause. Thomas Jefferson in
his writings accredited her with be-
ing one of the most patriotic women in
Virginia, and George Washington Of
fered to assist in the education of one
of her sons.
Mrs. Ramsay reared two sons to
fight for the cause of American inde-
pendence. One served as a surgeon
in the Continental army; the other as
a colonel in the Virginia line.
When this brave woman died, on
April 1, 1856, Washington attended her
funeral, for his diary contains this en-
try: "Went to Alexandria to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Ramsay on Fri
day last"
