DUXBURY HAS ALDEN HOUSE
Massachusetts, Town Proud Of His
torie Abode That Dates Back
to the Year 1858.

One Of the most important OF the
old-time houses that are associated
with the Pilgrims OF the Mayfiower is
the Alden house at Duxbury. Mass.
lately acquired by the Alden kindred
Of America.
The Aldens, John and Priscilla, with
seven others Of the MayfiOwer PHI
grims, went from Plymouth to settle in
Duxbury In 1927, seven years after the
landing Of the Mayfower and three
years before the founding OF Boston.
They built a house that stood on
knoll not far away from the existing
one, and there their children were
born.
The present house was built by the
eldest son. Jonathan, In 1853. and has
the remarkable record Of having been
In the possession OF Aldens from that
day to this.
A notable feature OF the house Is the
existence Of certain secret passages
and hidden stairs whose location
wsuld never be suspected. The house
dates back TO R,4 days Of witchcraft
and Indian wars; and notwithstanding
the new freedom brought by the PHI
grlms. there was no saying when op-
portunlties for concealment and es-
cape might come IN Handy.

about the base are great boiling
springs, hot enough to cook an egg In

"HEAD BUCKET" NOW RELIC
0ruesome Article Passed With the
Passing Of the FeudsI System
Among the Japanese.

One OF the most grim articles Of
household furniture known to man is
the kubloke, or head bucket OF the
japanese OF the old days. The bucket
was a part OF the furnishings OF the
samurai, or fighting man In court cir
cles, and was kept by him in a high,
narrow closet with sliding doors close
to an alcove, considered the place OF
honor Of samural's home. When the
head OF the house offended his lord
there was no bother of a trial or an
arrest. Instead there came a very DO.
lite note from the court, which stated
the lord was sure that the samurai
would return the noble honor Of bis
family. The messenger took back a
note as polite as the one brought. In
which the writer thanked his lord for
his honorable generosity.
He then shaved, bathed, donned a
white robe, and committed hari-kari by
falling on his sword. His head was
taken of and placed In the kubloke,
wrapped In white paper, and a nap
kin bearing his crest was placed over
II. A messenger then took the bucket
to the court, where the head was ex-
hibited and Identified and then re-
turned to the family with polite note
Of regret.

NATIONS DEBT TO PILGRIMS
Their Famous Compact Of Government
Rightly Treasured as a Great
State Document.

In the harbOr at the tip Of Cape
COD occurred the first birth and the
first death among the Pilgrims in
America. On board the Mayflower. as
she lay at anchor was born Pere-
CRIME, son of William and Susanna
White Here was another child for
the ships nursery, already occupied by
little Oceanus Hopkins, who first saw
the light of day far ont at sea.
The death was that Of Dorothy May,
wife of William Bradford, future gov
egnOr of Plymouth colony, She was
drowned.
First of importance, however, Of
all that occurred here, and also in
the sequence of events, was the draw
ing up and signing Of the famous COM
pact Of government, originally desig-
mated by Bradford in his history as "a
combination" And so it was. in the
most literal sense, a combination.
This agreement made In writing by
little group of Englishmen who had
been dismissed by their mother cOun-

is now treasured by the nation In
America, to which they contributed as
much as one Of three great documents.
The other two are the Declaration of

til a binding disarmament agreement
can be reached was discussed at a
conference here between President
elect Harding and Repres entative But.
Ter OF Pennsylvania, chairman OF the
house naval committee. Afterward
1t was indicated that although a final
decision must await developments the
pre- ent attitude Of Senator Harding
pointed to a continuation during his
administration OF the fleet construc-
ton program now In progress. Cou-
pied with this program, however,
would be material curtailment in the
number OF civilian employees OF the
navy department and various econ
omies in the land stations under navy
Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Harding long has favored an
efficient navy as the first line of
American defense, and he is under
stood to feel that a big navy policy
might be continued practically If steps
are taken to curtail the strength of
the army along the lines he approved
yesterday in conference with Chair
man Kahn of the house military com
mittee.
He also strongly faVors the reserve
system for both army and navy, and
is understood to have indicated to
Chairman Butler that an adequate
naval reserve should be considered
one of the requisites to national de-
Tense.
The whole question of the navy
hinges, however, On what progress
may be found possible in the move
ment for a general reduction Of ar
mament throughout the world. Mr..
Butler, who is inclined to place little
faith in the proposal, expects to de.
velop in COMMITTEES hearings all the
information available on the probable
consequences of disarmament This
he will turn over to Mr..
Harding.
