1t was In 1885, thirty-four years
ago this month, that the
strange tale of the ghosts
which inhabited the old Glen Elvyn
house, which stood in Georgetown
then, near the canal, was going
the rounds OF the Capital. and many
OF the city's older inhabitants re-
member the fear and dread felt
alike among old and young as q
result OF the tale OF the dare devil
seven who visited the mansion at
midnight.
The story went from mouth TO
mouth, and IL wasn't long before
the talk OF the town was OF the
haunted house" Many viewed it
in the light OF day, but few there
were who wouldn't 60 near 10 at
night when the wind swept with

DeteFained to Learn Truth.
The house was oWnedNby a Mrs.
Henry, Winter, and during her alb
sence from the city, seven dare
DEVILS" as they styled themselves,
undertook a visit to the mansion to
determine the truth OF the vague
stories which had been circulated
for years among the colored resi-
dents in that section OF the city.
These sWore that at night the
sound OF carriage wheels, the Jingle
OF harness, and the snap OF the
coachman's whip, interspersed with
low and mournful cries for help
could be distinctly heard coming
from the premises.
The seven men entered the house
before dark and went to one OF the
upper chambers, upon the floor OF
which was a large, dark red stain.
According to one OF the seven"
who styled himself afterWard as
an eyewitness, the group waited
until midnight. Then II was they
heard the faint tinkling OF car
fiage harness chains, the soft beat
OF hoofs. the coachman's whip. and
above all the wierd, low cry for
help.

OF the seven asked around.

house. But when they told the
story it grew in color, and was
strengthened by a history Of the
old mansion which. according TO
their tale, was true.
The story of tie slave GIrL
Il seems the house was once the
property OF a slave owner. He
became enraged over the disobcd-
fence OF one OF his slaves, q young
girl, and imprisoned her without
food or water for days. Fearins

joying their publicity when Il all
came to an end through q letter,
ultimately printed in q neW9papefs
which put an end to the story.
The letter was from a Mr.. william
II. Donoho, then OF Locust Grove. IN
Montgomery County. Maryland. He
characterized the stories as a lot

with his family, in the house FOR
years since It's building. and had
only recently moved to Maryland.
As for the dark red stain on the
floor OF the upstairs room, he ex-
planned Il by>saying a painter had

wrIterI On the Child and ChIld
Training.
TIE country is now faced with
an epidemic Of robberies by
BOYS who have not had prop
er training.
Wrong thinking is the cause.
Just as by a generation OF think
ing upon the devilish pGrpose Of
the superman the Prussians were
launched upon their titanic dance
Of death, so the boy bandit has
emerged as the victim OF a lurid
Imagination STEPPED in crime.
what will head off the boy ban
dit?
cut out the gun-pIay, hold-up
robber stuff from the movies for
six months and the boy daredevil
will drop off so per cent.
Cut out the same kind Of vicious
and crime-breedinE stuff now
threaded all through more than
half the story books written for
boys of the Wild West age.
The boy bandit IS a school quit
ter-one who dropped out because
ne did not like to study or to hustle.
He is OF the idle, loafer type. Every
boy under eighteen who is not IN
school should be registered either
BY the city or the State and should
be required to render an account At
regular intervals Of both how ne
is employed and how he SPENDS ms
leisure time. Those failing 70 snow
a satisfactory status as 70 these
two matters should be treated as
guilty Of delinquency and dealt with
accordingly.
Cut out the cigarette. Smoking
duIs the moral sense OF the boy
and makes crime look like heroism.
The cigarette-smoking boy is un-
moral, is entirely unreliable in his
sense Of right and wrong.
Boy idleness Is another aspect
Of this boy bandit business. Every
child should be required to learn to
work with his hands just as he
should be required TO learn TO read
and write. From his seventh year
on no boy should be permitted TO
pass in school till ne has proved
his ability TO perform certain indus
trial tasks, the weight and amount
OF same TO be determined by the
age and strength OF the boy. II is
easy to make out a schedule OF in
dustrial requirements for boys. as I
have done in the bulletin entitled
Teaching the Boy to Work"
As further means Of preventing
the Juvenile criminal the ehtire
country should be aroused to the
need Of Inducing every boy at the
age OF twelve into the order of the
scouts. II this organization Is the
greatest boy movement ever known,

not merely the policeman's. To head
on the boy bandit. But we cannot
head him of so long as we are
ignorant Of what constitutes q pood

Necessary for his proper growth and
guidance. We men must study tho

Soups For Fall Days

would have the same bone in the
soup pot.
The water In which vegetables
are cooked should be saved. Tur-
nip water may be undesirable. but
almost every other variety Of Vege-
table water should be saved
Cook your vegetables in just as
little water as possible. but IL there
IS a quantity Of water evaporate
it by boiling uncovered until II IS
reduced to a third or half the origf-
nal quantity. Run a couple Of
freshly pared carrots. a cucumber
from which skin and seeds have
been removed, through the food
chopper. Add a little parsley or
celery, some bones and meat II on
hand, and a tablespoonful OF raw
rice. a few tablespoonfuls Of cock
ed rice or barley. Enough liquid
must be in the pot to insure thor
ough cooking OF the raw ingred-
tents without danger Of burning.
Sometimes II Is necessary to add
some water. A couple OF slices OF
onion and a little tomato improves
this soup. Any leftover cooked
vegetable, even IL il Is only a table
spoonful of peas or corn. may be
put into this soup just before tax
ing il, from the stove. Before serV-
ing remove the bones.
1t is an economy to keep a can
or jar of tomato paste on hand for
soups. A, Tablespoonful Of this con-
centrated paste will often give as
good result as half a cup Of canned
tomato. Moreover, tomato paste
once opened may be used from time
no time as needed, and does not
spoil as would a can OF tomatoes.
The Washington times., 1919-09-16

WITH the cooler days and
W keener appetites comes a
w desire for a piping hot
plate Of soup at the beginning OF
the meal, and many of our readers
are asking how to make good soup.
Soup is really an economical dish,
contrary to the opinion OF many
inexperienced cooks.
Soup, however, except the soups
made of milk, is not very nourish-
ing. 1t has these good points, how
ever: Hot soup stimulates the di-
gestive juices and prepares the
stomach for the reception Of the
more substantial food to follow.
Soup also takes the edge of the
appetite and prevents one from
eating too much Of the heavier, per-
haps more expensive foods that fol-
low.
Cold cream jars. or small cans in
which some varieties OF vegetable
fat are purchased, make excellent
containers for flavor giving herbs.
As autumn comes, garden parsley
may be uprooted. cleaned, hung up
and dried. Celery tops should be
hung in a cheesecloth bag and dried.
Both celery and parsley may be
crushed when dry and kept in their
separate containers. They are just
as favor giving when dry as when
fresh.
Unless one Is cooking for an in
valid or baby, the purchase OF fresh
meat for soup is usually unneces-
sary. The bone OF the steak, the
bones Of the chops or most any bits
of leftover meat may all go into
the soup pot to give meat flavor.
Too often we see a dog, dining on
a steak bone and its bits of adher-
ing meat when a thrifty housewife

He flew to Jenny Wren's house,
To sing a roUndelay.
'He met the Cock and Hen,

This was his wedding day,

"The Cock then blew his horn,

This was Robins wedding day.
