PASSING OF OLD LANDMARK.

Several hundred Of the younger
rolored residents of Alexandria cele-
brated Easter Monday on Battery.
Rodgers Hill, overlooking the plant
of the Virginia Shipbuilding Company,
which is employing hundreds Of man
in the construction of buildings or
the reclaimed ground of what had for
more than a century been known as
Baptizing Cove. This was probably
the last gathering of egg-rollers upoH
this old hill, many years ago one OF
the most popular resorts III summer
in Alexandria, and where most OF the
egg-rolling was INDUCED in in bygonc
DAYS. On this eminence cannon were
fred on the twenty-second CT February
and Fourth of July, ana counting
couples gathered and INDUCED in loves

on the hill at that time, ImpactinG

loungers.

was Alexandria's park. The watcr
from the pump at this place was re-
garded as the best in the city, ana
on Sunday evenings in summer ?eop'
came from other sections CT the old
town, bringing glasses o. cups Win
them for the purpose Of drinking wal
er from that well. This WAS @row2.
as the "Whitc Pump" The old log
pump was long since removed, ard :
smaller one took It's place. This IS nor

made to use the water.

to France with their diseases upon
tuberculosis.
There is German craft IN sending
the children back. Not only wiz
France have to feed them, but there
is always the chance that the little
ones will spread disease in country
that is already overburdened with war
tasks and war losses. 10
That's why the scene shown'in' the
picture is so important. Each OF these
little ones has card in hand, which
oives all the known history Of the
child. All are carefully examined as
II health before final disposition IS
made Of them.
IF the children are SIMPLY underfed
and undernourishcd, they are sent 20
the south of France, where homes arc
arranged for them. If they are tu-
bertcular, they are sent to special IN
stitutions for care.
The effort of the French and Belgian
governments is to save as much of this
human wreckagc as possible. The
American Red Cross is helping. The
children in this particular picture arc
Belcians from the District bordering
on the River User, where their fatA-
ers have for so long made so gallant
a resistance to the invader.
