War Time Events Recalled
By Citizens Along Beau
tiful Virginia Route. +.

Every automobile tour which
The Herald pathhnding party
ever made has been an enjoyable
one and it is exceedingly difficult
to compare one with the other.
However, to do justice to the
trip made to Fredericksburg, Vir-
ginia, last Wednesday one must
draw upon all the laudatory ad-
jeetives used during the many
previous tours and roll them into
a single paen of praise, according
to the party of FIVE which en-
joyed the nine-hour tour in a
snappy Silhouette Five Jordan"
which totaled exactly 1929 miles.
Many motorists, and our peer
less pilot, J. J. A. Krentzlin,
among them, had held the belief
that the roads to Fredericksburg
were not in condition for tourists.
Such fears have been banished'
from the mind of Mr.. Krentzlin,
and he now is enthusiastic over
the roads as compared with their
condition a couple of years ago.
While a dirt road is the order
the majority of the way, and
many times a dirt road is quite
bumpy and leads a serpentine
trail, it is a good road which no
motorist needs to fear tackling.
The other portions of the route
are over a superb military road,
while the three worst miles of
the swamp land this side of Stat
ford has been elevated and con-
creted, making the most pleasant
going of the entire trip.
Gas Stations Dot Route.
Every inch of the way is laden
with historical lore while the
scenery which unfolds on either
side of the road is of such un-
changing grandeur as to cause
constant CALCULATIONS of pleasure.
Gas filing stations and repair
shops are scattered along the road
at frequent intervals, and for those
sportively inclined there are plenty
of blacksnakes. Cicero. for in

story.
Day Ideal for Trip.
Approaching the poetic utter
ance, What is so rare as a day in
June?" from the pen of William
Cullen Bryant, The Herald party,
on their way to the Jordan sales
rooms at 1907 H street northwest,
declared that 1t must have been
just such a day as last Wednesday
that caused the famous poet to
write the memorable poem which
contains this phrase.
Without delay, Mr.. Krentzlin,
who is the general manager of the
Owens Motor Company, distribu-
tors of the Jordan car in Washing

mended an immediate start.

in showing the party about the es-
tate and consented to pose in the
Jordan with her dog, Nero.
Finding that il was after 4 o'clock
the party was forced to tear itself
away from the comfortable sur
roundings and begin the return trip.

suit he was successful in digging in
the proper places and unearthing an
old colonial sewerage system. a
building which was used as slave
quarters, several chests, pear trees,

while in front of the church Is the
customary cemetery. The cemetery
beside the Pohick church has been
modernized to the extent that an
up-to-date crematory has been
erected. After taking pictures OF
the Pohick church the journey was
resumed.
A few moments after the Pohick
Church was left behind the acauain-
tance of Cicero is made. Cicero,
be 1t known, Is a black snake which
was found to be fifty-two inches
long and IL might not be amiss to
state here that there are numberless
Ciceros In this region.
Cicero Coils for Camera.
The moment the blacksnake was
sighted in the act of crossing the
road the machine was brought to an
abrupt halt and a five-cornered
chase ensued. Cicero was halted in
his journey quite q distance in the
brush but he was gentlemanly
enough to appreciate the value OF
publicity and kindly came back into
the road in order that Jack might
take a closeup Of him. AS the black
snake is not poisonous and does q
great deal of good in ridding the
brush of pests the party voted ia
leave him to his haunts. Later Mr.
krentzfin found q tin can which he
stored in the car in anticipation OF
another Cicero. And the other
Cicero-but that is ahead of the
story.
Twenty-Five miles out the car
passed upon a gravel road and q
steep hill after leaving the Lorton
Telephone Company, to reach the
neatly appointed District Farm and
House Of Correction which appears
too pleasant to be the habitat OF
evil doers. Leaving the Distric,
farm bridge was passed and a
steep down-grade taken to Deco
guam. A bit over a mile from Deco.
guam, at Woodbridge, will be found
a filling station.
Before reaching Dumphries, where
gas, oil and repairs could be had by
the motorists, the car passed over q
