Ancestral Home in English County of
 Hero of Two Worlds" |"

In the village of Sulgraye. Eng, in the heart Of the Northamptonshire lanes, Is still to be seen the manor house In which, until 1906, there lived the family of Laurence Washington, whose great-great-grandson, finding his way to Virginia in 1857, was to become the great-grandfather of George Washington, the first President of the United States. Carved in the corner of the stone lintel of this manor house is to be seen the Washington Stars and Stripes.
 It was this great descendants stroke for liberty that drew from the Eng fish statesman, Chatham, the whole hearted declaration: If l were an American as I am an Engllshman, while a foreign troop was landed in my country, I never would lay down my arms-never, never, never" Chat ham did not stand alone; with him being Pitt and Shelburne, all of whom saw that the threatened liberties of England could be saved in Washing tons birthday.
 Washington won for himself the t. tie of "The Hero of Two Worlds, as result of the victory of the Brit ish democrats who fought for more liberty under the rule of the king, made effective by Washington's sue ceSses. The title was bestowed upon him by Thomas Carlyle, who also nick named him "Scipio Americanus" and Cromwell Grandson" the latter title being given him because, like Cr0m- we'll, he fought to crush the pretense of king.
 The house, in Northamptonshire, England, was built before the domea- day survey, and came into the posses sion of the Washington family ln,l56L. In 1914 the mansion, home of the an- cestors of George Washington was bought by the British Peace Centenary

WASHINGTON.

Dust of the gray years cannot dim thy name, Nor changes chill thy country's pride In thee; Thou art as some bright fire that steadily Burns high above the little cracking flame That lesser men may kindle, dreaming fame Is one with party's brief idolatry. On the low altars of humanity Glory Is quenched by the first breath of blame. While the logs heart glowed with a Iv- ing heat The fabled Meleager knew not death, But when 1t cooled his own must cease to beat He to the envious gods must yield his breath; But children's children keep alive for thee The brand their sires' love kindled rever- entity.

Perfumes from Poisons

The deadly poison gas developed
by the chemical warfare service in CO.
operation with Americas new chem
ical industry to combat Americas en-
emies has been turned to the most
peaceful of peace time service. The
fumes which devastated whole coun-
trysides in the world war will here
after be transformed into delicate
perfumes to scent miladis boudoir.
Experiments completed by the
chemical warfare service and repre-
industry, built UP to fight the Ger
man worldwide chemical monopoly,
have developed the war gases as a
source of synthetic perfumes. From
the deadly phosgen gas. originated
and perfected in this country during
the war, the chemists have succeeded
in tracing a violet scent that they
assert is more delicate and more last
ing than the original woodland arti-
Gle. Benzyl acetate, another of the
war gas products, has proved the
source of jasmine scent as fragrant
as the jasmine itself.
Steps have been taken to make the
perfumes developed from the death
dealing war gas available to the chem
ical industry for commercial develop
ment, and they will be added to the
long list of valuable by-products now
being developed in connection with
the manufacture of coal tar dyes in
this country.
