that its banks are half mile away
from the town.
Now a Deserted Village.
Port Tobecco chung TO Its traditions
for some years after its water high
way had deserted 1t because 1t was
the county seat. LaPlata, new and
growing town some three miles away,
which had sprung up when the rail-
road came through, was jealous Of
Port Tobaccos courthouse. LaPlata
argued that Port Tobacco was declin-
Ing and herself growing and petI-
toned the legislature to move the
county seat. But tradition was too
strong and the courthouse stayed at
Port Tobacco.
The jealousy of LaPlata was not
abated and, the legend says, finally
reached pitch where group Of
young LaPlata bloods stole into Port
Tobacco one night and burned the tine
old brick courthouse. Inasmuch as the
county must bear the expense Of erect
ing a new building, it was urged sue,
cessfully that It might as well be built
In the new town, and 1t was. Today the
few old missions Of Port Tobacco,
the ruins of the courthouse, the tum-
bled-down remains of the hotel and
even portions Of the marble. fountain
are grass-grown and lonely--well-f1t-
ted to Goldsmith's description Of the
deserted village.
Deserted by Stream.
Piscataway was a port on an estu-
airy of the Potomac not far from
Mount Vernon. 1t Is perhaps the best
preserved of the three typical lost
cities, 1t would not be possible to get
even a canoe up the stream which in
the old days bore ships big enough to
cross the Atlantic. Piscataway Is at
least three miles from navigable wa
ter. The town is some fifteen miles
from the nearest railroad and, there
fore, is about as deserted ghost OF
colonial days as can be found.
It has several very beautiful man.
sions. Some Of them stand starkly
empty, with loose shutters banging in
the wind. One or two are still kept up
by survivors of the old families that
once fourlshed there, and few are
used as tenement houses by negroes
The single tiny store and post office
could not live were it not supported by
the surrounding country, for the port
which once had merchants who sent
ships to England now has not to ex-
coed hundred souls.
Dies With the Farms.
Yorktown is across the bay on the
Virginia shore. Its fate is attributable
to somewhat different causes. It's wa
ter highway, the York river, has not
filled I'D, for the current and tide are
extremely rapid at that point. But
the washing away of the topsoil has
impoverished the farms, Yorktown
once was the port of entry for Ph1la-
delphia and New York, being regarded
as an important place. Today it has
a population of 300, half negro. Yet
it's harbor, the mouth of the York riV'
err. is one of the most magnificent In
this country. During the war the At
lantic feet anchored in the harbor OF
the little town, and after the arms
tice more than a thousand shipping
board vessels were moored there. The
harbor is 80 feet deep.
But progress has tricked these cities
into oblivion The very activity and
prosperity of the early days FASTENED
their decay. The more industriously
the planters plowed to produce the
wealth on which the cities throve the
more surely was their tate being
sealed.

The following excerpts from IA let
ter written by n former Dcnycritc now
living in Frankfurt throws some in
tercsting lights on conditions abroad ::
I'm much alone in a strange land
with only strangers 50 have plenty of
time to think of the olden days. Have
had quite few people from the States
look me up.
Conditions are improving here every
day. People spend II lot of money ms
with the exchange SO uncertain they
do not believe in saving. Every other
woman sports IL real pearl necklace nS
| guess they figure that can always be
turned into money. The tourists up
to now had very cheap time of it,
now they won't have as they must
pay at least :O0W on marked prices
some stores refuse to sell them at all
and IL any German is caught buying
for foreigners he is punished. Goods
got so scarce and high the Germans
had nothing for themselves. Gloves.
handkcrchicfs. etc. were bought by
every tourist by the dozens. Even
furniture.
I'VE spent few days in Antwcrpand
Rrusscls. took the Rhine trip this sum-
mcr and spent day in Coblcnz, where
our soldiers run the town. AL very
interesting but If it wasn't for the
Ocean trip l would say give me the
L. $. \. One can see plenty right NJ
bone. only l do enjoy the sail.
We have taken in the opera a few
times but after living in New York.
one is so spoiled with the best of all
these things nothing not even the
movies strikes us as being as good.
1t may only be our way of thinking
and l guess we will have to get over
1t.
I'VE are in my Aunts apartments
and we should be very happy TO have
il as the rent question couldn't he
worse. People who have houses can
only have as many rooms as the gov
crnmcnt thinks absolutely necessary
ind must take in strangers, not people
they want but who ever is next on
thc waiting list When they are in
you can't get rid of them even If they
are undesirable. Just received The

religious, industrial and educational
viewpoints. and also from the stand
point of amusement. In regard to the
latter he stated that amusements of
dance he made strengthening relax

said that the problem of leisure Is n
greater problem than the problem OF
work. just rs the problem of peace Is
II greater one than that of war. but
that because it is n greater problem,
the solution thereof would produce re-
suits in like proportion and is worthy
