Ferdinand of Roumanla is a Hohen-

fought bravely with the Allies and
comes out of the war with added ter

It probated in 1902 by George Washington

household effects and provisions for the education
of her relatives. Three granddaughters, four
nieces, her grandson, four nephews, a grandniece
and other distant relatives and friends are men
toned. To them she gave paintings. town lots
and to nearly all of them she gave from FIVE to
ten guineas with which to buy rings.
One OF the odd provisions was: at is my Will
and desire that Ann Marian Washington, daughter
of my niece be put into handsome mourning at
my death at the expense of my estate, and be
queath to her ten guineas to buy ring"
Another unusual order reads: cit is my Will
and desire that all of the wine in bottles in the
vaults be equally divided between my grand
daughters and grandson, to each of whom l
bequeath ten guineas to buy ring for EACH.
All of the family pictures, except few spe-
officially mentioned, left to George Washing
ton Parke Custis. and to him went large cOllec-
ton of household furnishings, including beds,
water coolers, china and furniture. Special pro-
vision was made for the education of three neph-
ews who were to be fitted in some useful
trade" and she made a further provision that
100 pounds be given to each to set him up in his

CHOICE OF BUT TEN STATES.

New York state had part in the election Of
the first president of the United States. For some
years following the establishment of the federal
government, the legislatures of most of the states
chose the presidential electors, the people voting
for them only indirectly. their choice being
pressed by their votes for legislators. deadlock
between the senate and the assembly prevented
the selection of electors from New York state
Rhode Island and North Carolina had not yet
ratified the Constitution, so Washington
elected the first time by the votes of only ten of
the Is states.
New York city was the scene OF the first inaugu-
ration, however. Washington took the oath on
the pOrtfcO of Federal hail. the present site of
the subtreaSury, at Wall and Nassau streets April

BUILT FROM HIS OWN PLANS.

At the late date of 1927 a wish expressed by
George Washington in his will was obeyed He
had called attention to his selection of spot for
a tomb for himself and family and those of
the family already buried in the old vault The
old tomb disadvantageously situated on the
side of a hill which was subject to landslides
For the vault he specified not only the spot
but also dimensions and materials According to
these, his plans tomb was built, and his
and Mrs. WashingtOn's bodies were transferred
to it. along with the remains in the old vault Of
other members OF the family. The latter were
buried within the vault, out of sight, while the
bodies of General and Mrs. Washington are in
stone collins above the ground within plain view
between a grated iron doorway.

URGES REsUMING ROAD WORK

Of Agriculture)
President Wilson favOrs the earliest
possible resumption and extension OF
highway construction under the fed
eral aid road act and has written Sec
rotary Of Agriculture Houston to that
effect. The secretary Of war also has
written the secretary OF agriculture in
favor of highway work.
The presidents letter follows:
'Dear Mr.. Secretary:
81 heartily agree with you that it
would be in the public interest to re-
sumo in full measure the highway con-
structiOn operations under the federal
aid road act, and to do so as speedily
as possible. I understand the neces-
sity which existed for their cOntrac-
ton during the stress through which
we have been passing, but that Obsta-
Gle is now removed. 1 believe that 1t
would be highly desirable to have an
additional appropriation made availa-
BILE to the department Of agriculture,
TO be used in conjunction, if possible,
with any surplus state and community
funds, in order that these operations
may be extended 1t is important not
only to develop good highways
throughout the country as quickly as
possible, but it is also at this time es-
pecially advisable to resume and ex-
tend all such essential public works.
with view to furnishing employment
for laborers who may be seeking new
/ tasks during the period OF readjust-
ment. Knowing that the department

authorities in each state have been
carefully working out road systems

/ ties in this field can be vigorously con-
| Quoted through these two sets of exist

ceived from Secretary OF War Baker:
