structive efforts Of the board had
resulted in a mutual spirit OF con
fidence between realtors and the
public. He called attention to the
free service maintained by the local
hoard and mentioned several spe-

clared, "are approaching normal II

Mr.. Petty spoke of the great
necessity for the establishment here
of a daily court record OF real
estate transactions and particularly
stressed the many benefits which
could come to Washington through
a campaign of national advertising.
In his address President Edwards
declared that it was his belief that
realtors should lead in all matters
of civic betterment. They should

at mooring masts or other landing
fields, and TASKS of the COM
pressed air are carried by the ship.
But not enough Of this Is available
for an emergency use. Since moor
ing masts always have compressed
helium on hand. someone conceived
the idea of using ,helium to start
the engines. As 1t is not inflam-

and its elimination from the public

Thus began the Pan-American Union
in the cid Wallach mansion. Not
only Washington but the entire
United States made great fuss over
the meeting held here, and the dele
gates were taken on a tour OF the
country as the guests of the Nation.
Newspapers devoted entire editions
to the occasion. and in every COM
munity the delegates visited they
were literally lionized.
Wood engravings of their recep
tions show the duration Of their
stay at many places was marked by
an incessant round of festivities that
virtually was a holiday. Fireworks,
brilliant balls and banquets were
held from one end of the country TO
the other. Since that day some of
the delegates have become the presi-
dents Of the republics they represent
ed, and carried in their hearts warm
memories of the first meeting here
of the Pan American Union.
Should Washington set out to pre-
serve all of the old mansions here
that took a part in the making of
local and national history, the center
of the city. its very heart, would
virtually become a museum of an
tiquities. But il seems that the house
where the Pan-American Union, which
has played so important part in
the evolution of the new world, and
is destined to play an even greater
part in the future, was born should
be remembered by an adequate tablet
on its modern successor, telling those
who might wish to know of the i'm
portant event that took place on that
site back in 1889.
Evening star., 1925-03-22

The persons whom Mr.. Wallach had
left in charge of his home, an eX-
tremely large and dignified mansion,
close to the White House and the
various Government offices, offered il
to Secretary Blaine, and it was
promptly accepted as the place for
the meeting that was destined to
rear the great PanAmerican Union,
whose present home is one of the
show places of the city.

vas so much awe in the courtroom
that a man would rather choke than
cought, and a sneeze would have been
contempt of court. Yet the Rambler
could not clear his mind of the
thought, "Oh. Judge, I've seen "em
just as dignified as you hopping in
e. marble alley with a ffrehose pour
ing December water from the Great
Lakes on their hide"
If 1t will not delay the course of
this narrative the Rambler would pay
his humble tribute to the progress of
medicine. He is a layman and hesi-
tates, but not long, to give his
opinion. If opinions were only given
by men qualified to give them there
would be less public speaking and
private conversation than we have,
but, on the other hand, those qualified
10 give opinions rarely agree and are
almost always wrong.
The Rambler remembers that in his
old home town, Anacostia, was drug
store with half a mile of shelves of
Finctures and extracts. For every
thing that could happen to a man
there were 19 remedies. The doctor
who could write the longest prescrip-
Tion which the drug clerk could not
read had the best-paying practice.
When sick man got well 1t was
DR. Jones who pulled him through,
and when he died the doctor had been
called too late. The last time the
Rambler was in that drug store some
of the shelves were filled with mil
1inery and notions, and the pharma-
cist said he was going to take out
the remaining bottles and put IN
boots and shoes.
The modern doctor still insists that
you are doing fine and tells your wife
that you are in bad way, thus Civ
ing encouragement to both, but, in
stead of calling in the old tinctures
y and extracts, he talks about open
windows, soap and water, exercise
and diet Then he has your teeth
pulled. Get up in the morning." he
says, before the milkman comes,
swim the Potomac, walk up to Great
Falls and back and eat a poached egg
for breakfast
The modern doctor believes in
keeping his patient cheerful. In a
distant city a physician celebrated for
his bedside manner and his bills got
examination by squad of sub
doctors, and the main doctor, after
reading the reports of the subs and
phoning Bradstreet for the patient's S
rating, came in to meet the patient.
He beamed with benignity and said,
in encouraging tones: There does
mot seem to be anything very much
the matter with this man. He is in
durable. But outside of that he is all
right" So you see how therapo-
psycho-Suggestion cheers fellow up.

But about these old florists. Last
Sunday the Rambler recalled many of
them, and today he will lead you across
the front yard and up to the door of
the old Pierce home. on Bowen road
Do not confuse this Pierce with Joshua
Pierce, or Peirce, who had d nursery
called Linnean Hill, now part Of Rock
Creek Park, and whose graystone house
Evening star., 1925-03-22

is the home of Sergt. Patrick Joyce, su-
perintendent Of the park. That Peirce
was son of Isaac Peirce, builder of
Peirce's Mill, and he left the Linnean
Hill property to Joshua Peirce Klingle.
who was born January 3, 1885, and
died July g 1892. That is another story.
The Peirces of Rock Creek and the
Pierces of the Eastern Branch are not
related so far as the Ramblers genea-
logical records go. William Thomas
Pierce came to the District from the
OXon Hill neighborhood of Prince
Georges County. He was born far down
in the county near the Charles line, and
the first of the family to come to Amer
ica was his grandfather, Daniel Pierce
d Scotchman. William Thomas Pierce
married Charity Ann Alley of Oxon Hill
Mr.. Pierce died 20 years ago, and his
widow Is years ago. Both are buried
in the Episcopal Cemetery at Forest
willie, Md.
x x x x
TT was, I think, let me say know,
in 1873 that the Pierces moved
from Oxon Hill and began growing
flowers on part of the farm of Henry
