sandwiches, crackers, cookies, cake,
bananas. sausages and tea.
After eating our lunch we started
down the hill because it was raining.
All of us got wet, but it was lucky
that none of us caught cold.

Dear Miss Seibert:
Saturday afternoon about half past
two ten of us started up the mountain
with Miss Vincent, our captain, for
a hike to the gulch. We stopped at
the Maliko camp to see the place. We
fingered awhile and some of the girls
called on relatives. Some small boys
that were there threw stones at us
but we did not pay much attention to
them though some of the girls came
pretty near being hit by them.
I'VE started for home and it was
then that we were caught in the
rain. We took the shortest road home
through the forests but we could find
no shelter. We were all wet through
but the girls only said I'VE are hav-
ing a shower bath" There was no
thing to be seen down in the valley
for it was just filled with the fog
and we could see only a short dis
lance around us.
when it began to clear we were
in the fields. We were beginning to
get dry when another sign of rain
appeared, so we started for a shorter
way home. In the midst of the pigeon
pea field we were again caught by the
rain and it did not stop until We
reached home. Our Captain was a
fraid that some of us might be sick
|'by the time we reached home, but
none Of the girls caught cold.
I'VE all had a fine time. We walked
about five miles in two and three
quarters of an hour besides stopping
for suavas and plums along the way
Some day we hope to hike to Hal
ku.

TO PRESS READERS

The merger of the Press and
Progress into the Press came with
such haste that it precluded ar
engagements that would have Ordi-
narily been made. The consolida-
tion of the two lists of subscribers,
eliminating duplicates and correct.
ing errors. is something of task.
The sudden mechanical expansion
has also increased difficulties. The
coming week will see the removal of
the plant to the former Progress
office, Sixth and State. This will
be another difficult task to perform.
1t will require patience on the part
Of publishers and on the part
of subscribers. The indulgence of
the latter is kindly asked until the
state of transition and eruption
ends. After that we promise prompt
service and many refinements of
the paper not yet possible Every
effort is being put forth to met the
emergency. The Press is grateful
for countless expressions of appre-
citation and believes its family of
readers ready to give it every bene-
fit of the situation.

These grades which have been

County Horticultural Commissioner
Waite will continue as in the past to
enforce the state standardization rul

Crates containing more, than three
heads over or under the number Of
dozen or half dozen marked on the

Leads composing any or all layers
are so loosely arranged as to convey
a false Impression of the true size of
the heads from the number of dozen

quality, well cut and carefully pack

short-lived. operation having ended
by the time of the Mexican war.
Various causes. coming close upon
each other. contributed to the failure
Of the glass works. The construction
of the Long bridge causeway. during
Jackson's administration damaged the
water front of the factory Then
came the Chesapeake and Ohio canal,
extending its waterway through the
Glass House, wharf and across the
mouth of the small creek which
drained the valley, leaving, the loca-
ton of the factory and its settlement
at the edge of a swamp. later known
as Kidwell meadows and now Poto-
mac Park, which became prolific
breeding place of mosquitoes and ma
laria. The destruction Of the forests
on the upper Potomac brought a vast
quantity of earth which built up q
shoal opposite Washington. The
source of sand supply at Prince
George island was stopped to avoid
reducing the size of the island, the
aggressive, energetic spirit of the
founders Of the factory was lacking
in later owners. and by the. middle of
the century operation Of the factory
was suspended. Gradually the once
thriving community which had sur
rounded the factory deteriorated be-
yond even the semblance, of its former
prosperity.

GLASS FACTORY ON MEMORIAL SITE.

:
Long bridge causeway had heen built
at that time. and the. Potomac was
much wider than now. The hills and
meadows stretched back from the
river in their original shapes, un-
marred by streets or grading. West
of the factory rose the, hill on which
the Naval Hospital now stands. then
known as Camp rHill, from having
been occupied by soldiers during the
war of 1912. On this hill was a
small cemetery, holding the dead Of
the village of Hamburg, and, as ira
dition has 1t, of soldiers who once
belonged to the old fort whose ruins
stood on the summit of Camp Hill
during the days of the glass factory.
To the northeast of the old glass
house could be seen the Octagon
House and the Presidents home, then
unknown as the White House. To
the southeast across the commons,
with few buildings to break the view,
rose the Capitol and arsenal. Also
to the east. though much nearer. just
across the valley of small creek,
lay the old David Burns house.
But most beautiful of all views COM
manded by the Old Glass House
people was that across the river, on
which passed stately, -squared-rig-
ged ocean-going ahips, bound to or
from the port of Georgetown" The
people OF Hamburg shopped in
Georgetown, crossing Rock creek at
K street on bridge built before
1909. The arch of the bridge bore
this significant wish: May :, the
Union last as long as this bridge"
Who will say whether these early
villagers, most of them born be-
yond the Atlantic, boosted the sturdi-
ness of their bridge or questioned
the permanence of the infant nation?
From the Glass House the home of
Col. Mason on Analostan Island was
plainly visible. and beyond it on
Arlington Heights rose the home Of
George w. P. Custis. who the glass
factory people considered their neigh
Dor.
THE Custis spring, under the great
trees at the foot OF Arlington,
was a favorite picnic ground of the
early inhabitants of Washington. To
this spring the people OF the Glass
House crossed in large rowboats and
flatboats. THE chief charm of the
place." according to the records OF
the Columbia Historical Society,
was the hospitality and sociability
of Mr.. Custis. He loved to have the
people come to the Custis spring for
their picnics and built a large pa
vilion for the dances of the young
people. He always brought an old
manservant with him to the picnic
ground to help with the serving, and
would play the violin by the hour
for the young folks to dance, though
he often stripped the pavilion of its
dancers by beginning to relate .anec-
dotes about Gen. Washington
Interesting and beautiful as were
the surroundings of the glass factory
and successful as the enterprise
seems to have been at one period

every patriotic feeling Of Key was
strained to the highest pitch. All of
his love for country was aroused and
for hours he watched intentIy to see
what the result would be. Finally.

Hourished one of the most extensive in
dustrial enterprises ever developed in
the vicinity Of Washington. As early as

The term ''old glass house" to early
washingtonians meant not only the
factory, but included the group Of
workers living around it and forming
a part of what was then known as the
village 'ef Funkstown, or Hamburg.

that impressed him as a boy. One he
describeds as 1.-The home of Mr.. Funk
of Hamburg. Germany, queer struc-
ture built of imported materials and
after some patterns peculiar to his ma
tive town.
4 The other was the home Of a retired
West Indian sea captain. His home
stood near the river in the midst of
ample grounds, studded with shade and
fruit trees and shrubbery. Mr.. Hark-

whose name was King, loved TO enter
