the way of dish pan and fragile china
when dish washing is going on? Per
haps you owe your sink one of these
as n reward Of faithful service well
performed.
And for the drain of your sink to
keep it walked up and to prevent any
tendency towards sluggishness on its
part. we advise a fairly recent drain
cleaning powder. This opens clogs or
lazy drains like magic and stops for
ever that tiresome and fearful waiting
for sluggish, slow-moving water to
take itself on out Of the way. (The
fear is instigated by the dread of the
drain stopping entirely.)
This powder sterilizes as it cleans
and keeps the sink pipe from becoming
a breeding place for germs and water
bugs. It's an excellent thing to use in
refrigerator pipes for the same reason
and fortunately il may be used freely
as a preventative rather than a cure
as it had no destructive effect upon
porcelain, enamel or zinc, iron or lead
pipes.

was not their lack of protection, but
the cost of the upkeep of so many
healthy and hearty consumers.
TODAY the $50, 400 pocketed by the
White House police in a year is
a part of the Federal pay roll, not of
the District funds. Today not a
whimper is audible in Washington at
uniforms about one building.
When over $4,000 persons come to
see the President each year, it's a
different matter. Even the popularity
of Lincoln could not draw more than
5000 persons to the White House on
New Year day of 1865. But on
Easter Monday of last year $4,000 peo-
pie sauntered through the Executive
Mansion.
President Lincoln thought nothing
of walking to the home Of the Secre-
tary Of War, accompanied by only
one bodyguard, and was as accessible
to a portrait painter as to the Am
bassador of Madagascar. In fact, it

No doubt the advice is good, but who
takes advice?
There are some difficulties from
the Rambler's way of thinking about
this Original grant business. orig
inaI patentee" and Original settler"
are often not the same. The Rambler
believes that an Original patent" is
not in many cases the first patent to
the unsettled land. A patent would
be taken by John Smith to a tract
of land he had not seen. He named
it Pleasant View. He did not com
plete payment or meet other obliga-
tions required by the proprietary and
the patent became void. Bill Jones
patented 500 acres he had never seen
and the surveyor included 900 acres
of John Smiths patent to Pleasant
View. Bill Jones called the tract
Walnut Hollow. He failed to find a
purchaser at an advanced price for
his patent and let it lapse. Sam
Robinson heard from some trappers
that there was good land on the

are so many interpretations of what
is good family that the Rambler
refuses to get mixed up in the con-
troversy. John Addison had been to
oxford College and, being an
OXonian. he named his first patent
of land. on which he settled. OXon
Hill. He built there AS fine a brick
house as was in Maryland. 1t was
burned about 1892 and if YOU want
the date and circumstances you will
find them in an older ramble. Thomas
Dent took up a fine tract of un-
settled land, built one OF the fine
houses of the Potomac Valley and
called il GiSborouGh mot Giesboro)
after a Dent home in England or an
English village with which the Dents
were associated. I do not know which.

genealogy of the Addisons in Mary

Colebrook was built by John Addi-

OXon Hill. He built Colebrook house

Singers Won for DamrOsch

ropolitan Opera Company and intro
duced German Opera to America.
Born in Posen, Polish Prussia,
Leopold Damrosch desired from
youth to be a musician. His family
opposed him and, on his fathers in
sistence he studied at Berlin Uni
versity, graduating as a doctor of
medicine.
Returning home he sought his
father.
There" he said, "is my degree.
have obeyed you. Now l will follow
my desires. / shall never be any
thing but a musician"
In Berlin he had become the friend
of Hans Won Bulow, then struggling
toward his triumphant career as a
pianist. Won Bulow saw in his play
ing of the violin, upon which he had
practiced at night, following his
medical studies of the day, real
musicianship. He advised him to go
to Weimar to the great Franz Liszt.
Liszt received him with open arms
and embarked upon his career by
making him leading violinist Of the
opera orchestra.
In discovering" DR.. Leopold DAM
rosch, Hans Won Bulow might almost
be said to have discovered" Walter
Damrosch, for the career of the son
has been a continuation of the
fathers.
Born in Breslau, Walter Damrosch
was 9 years old when he arrived
in America. Receiving piano lessons,
he also was a lover of painting and
he did not definitely decide to devote
himself to music until the was 16.
DR.. Damrosch hoped he would be
musician and early found in him a
real talent. But, despite his desires,
he did not press the boy.
"If he is to become a musician 1t
must be from his own resolve" he told
his wife
In the end he was rewarded.
And I remember well the look of
happiness on his face when L told
him my decision" Walter Damrosch
is fond of saying.
The boy had been constantly sur
rounded by favorable atmosphere.
His mother was a finished musician.
The greatest artists of the day were
regular visitors at the Damrosch
home.
He now began studying with eX-
treme seriousness. His father taught
him violin and gradually introduced
him to the details that went to make
up his own work. Through training a
group of 200 singers that took part
In huge music festival arranged by
DR.. Damrosch in 1881 he acquired ex.

Society, taking with him for each per.

to the Legislature. A fine old family
is founded.
Now when the Rambler goes to
Annapolis and grubs among the
papers he finds only that Sam Robin
son was the original patentee to the
land. The earlier patentees are not
of record and there is not a line
about Jim Johnson, who took up the
land, turned it into farm and
founded one of the old families of
the State. In the Rambler's work
Jim Johnson is the only one in the
bunch who is interesting.
Where the Rambler gives you g
story about an original patentee" he
was also the original settler. John
Addison of OXon Hill, 1860, and
Thomas Dent of Gisborough, 1868
were original patentees and erigina,
settlers. Addison and Dent were rich
men-as rich men were then rated
when they came to the proprietary OF
Maryland. They were of English
families that were called good. There
