FREDERICKSBURG
BALL ENDS FETE
Brings Celebration to Grand
Close-Airplane Wrecked
and Truck Overturns.
Special from a STAN CORRESPONDENT

special from STAN Correspondent,
FREDERICKSBURG Va. May 60
Dawn was breaking over this town
this morning when the strains of
Good Night. Lady" from the Marine
corps Orchestra. brought to a happy
close the grand ball in the Princess
Anne Hotel. thus marking the pass
ing into history of one of the most
memorable celebrations ever held in
Virginia. 1t marked the end of the
festivities on the anniversary Of the
birth of this place into an organized
community 80 years ago.
The town slept late today after a
long day yesterday, in which some
Ing was going on every minute, with
no dlSappointmentS, unless it was
over the fact that the Alexandria
base ball team came into town and
beat the Fredericksburg nine by n
score of to 3. The only mishaps
were the smashing of an aeroplane
in a field just outside the town. but
with no casualties. and the overturn-
ing about ten miles outside of Fred
ericksburg last night of truck
loaded with marines who had been
participating in the celebration. One
man was seriously il not fatally in
tured. He is in the Martha Wash
inSton Hospital here.
Men Pinned Under Vehicle.
The truck. according to the driver,
was proceeding along a road which
was high in the center. 1t got to one
side and he attempted to bring it
back into the center of the road,
when it skidded and overturned down
a ten-foot embankment. All of the
men were pinned under the heavy
vehicle. and the fact that the side Of
the embankment was very soft earth,
it was explained. is the reason there
were not more casualties.
Gov. Westmoreland Davis of vir-
ginia, a t the evening exercises, fol-
lowing the review of the parade, gave
high praise to the citizens for the
success of their efforts on the occa-
sion.
Senator Claude Swanson Of Vir-
sinia introduced DIR. Herbert L. Bridg-
man of New York, who reviewed the
colonial history. and then asked:
DO you men and women of Fred
ericksburg not see that in your fruit
full and honorable past you have the
noblest heritage, the highest and
most sacred trust? We measure ev-
erything in terms of money nova
days, yet there are some things bet
ter. and a good name is rather to
be chosen than great riches? Even

The streets and alleys need cleaning
Perhaps we have become so accus-
toned to seeing them Uttered with
refuse and accumulations of dirt that
we do not realize how dirty they are.
If they were once thoroughly cleaned
we would see the difference. Strang-
ers from other cities, where clean
streets and alleys are normal, notice
the difference and comment upon it
when they get home. That is not good
advertising for any town. If cleanli-
ness Of the person is next to godli-
ness, surely cleanliness of a city is
next to prosperity. It is easy for Wis
itor to believe that if the city is clean
it is also prosperous. He will go home
and say so, and that is the best kind
Of advertising.

of strangers or got bad reputation
from having clean streets, ~bordered
