Windows Up!

At the beginning of the winter,
when the season opens for colds, in
fiuenza, grippe, sore throat and the
other respiratory diseases, it IS good
thing to remember that fresh air is
one of the best weapons we have for
fighting such diseases, and to apply
that knowledge to our daily habits, is
the advice of DR.. R. II. Riley, Chief
of the Bureau of Communicable dis
eases of the State Board Of Health.
Some exercise il the open air, a
brisk walk every day, or even, ten
minutes spent in doing the daily doz-
en- exercises before an open window,
before dressing in the morning. will
do a great deal, he said to keep the
body fit, and to strengthen our resis-
tance to disease, to colds, especially.
But we are likely" he continued, "to
offset the benefits Of the daily dozen
Of the exercise in the open air, by
shutting the fresh air out Of our
homes, our school rooms, and the
rooms in which we do our work. as
soon as the cold weather begins. We
need plenty of fresh air indoors as
well as outdoor exercise.
THE three things to be considered
if the ain in a house or Ioom IS to be
kept fresh and pure-in other words,
if the place is to be well ventilated
are, first, there must be plenty Of it
from an outside source; second, it
must not be too hot-not over 70 de-
grees, and G8 degrees is even bet
ter; and third, the air should be kept
in circulation.
"The opening and closing of the
outer doors Of a house as the mem
bers Of the household go back and
forth, usually serves to keep the ali
fresh and in. motion on the lower
floors. For bedrooms, good circula-
ton Of air is secured by lowering the
windows a few inches from the top
and raising them from the bottom. \
similar arrangement should be fol-
lowed whenever possible in school
rooms and work rooms. Draughts can
be avoided by means Of simple di-
vice-a board fitted in at the bottom
of the window at an angle Of about
80 degrees. If that arrangement is
not possible, a complete flushing OF

workers suffer, To prove this, try it

Credit for the initial impulse that
led to the organization of the Phi
Beta Kappa is attributed to John
Heath. the first president, by William
Short, the third president. who. nearly
IS years later, linked the original
Alpha Chapter to the present-day
united chapters, by being largely re-
sponsible for revival of the Phi Beta
Kappa at William and Mary College
in 1849.

A T that time a Tory president was
in charge of the college, but he
departed within a few months for
England and was succeeded by the
patriot President" James Madison,
who was such a patriot that in no
sermon preached by him during the
Revolutionary period did he ever al
lude to the Kingdom of Cod or the
Kingdom of Heaven" but only to the
Republic of Heaven"
John Heath's name also heads the
list of the nine who were present on
January 5, 1777, at which the oath
bers "severally initiated" The four
others then admitted to the society
were Daniel Fitzhugh, John Stuart,
Theodorick Fitzhugh and John Storke.
1t was at this meeting that John
Heath formally became the first presi-
dent.
A study of the records shows that
il became members in 1777, 10 during
177s, 13 during 1779 and Is during
1880. While it is evident that those
received during the first two years
determined the characteristics of
the society by the adoption of
rules and settling it's practices.
those received during 1779 shared
in perfecting these methods by
adopting the revised constitution and
ritual and by preparing and issuing
the charters for brances at Harvard
and Yale that were voted in Decem-
ber of that year and made possible
the perpetuation of the society. The
members received during 1880 did
much to develop the fraternal and
literary characteristics which became
so prominent in the early days in New
England.
From the early rules and regulations
it is clear that the main object of the
society was to promote composition,
the study of literature, debate and
oratory among select group of col
legians.

hundred words about the origin of this
place-name, without getting at the
origin of it, the Rambler may be
making a mistake, or sort of mussing
things up, but there are Lear de-

of George Washin gton who may write

how and by whom this tract was
named Wellington.
Where the electric railway passes
the station Wellington it crosses a
narrow road of clay in which water
worn stones from pebbles to cObbles
are bedded. Cedar trees, old, large.
conical and rich green, stand along the
lane. A cedar that was lusty youth
when the oldest reader was a babe,
spreads it's branches above the station
and two rural mail boxes are marked,
Perrine." Where the lane leads to-
ward the river it is set apart from
public use by an iron gate and gray
stone gate-posts Of rough-molded ce-
ment blocks. A white board with en-
phatic black letters says, Private
Road" Eastward the lane calls. Ce-
dars, solemn. but cordial, line the way.
and one side of the road is bordered
by high, thick, square-cropped privet
hedge. There is cement footway.
Off the right hand is an apple orchard
and off the left a clover field.
Two hundred yards from the iron
gate the lane forks. To the right it
leads to the Perrine property, and
straight ahead to the Wellington
House. At the fork is another gate
which, like that of iron, stands open
and inviting. 1t is a double gate of
vertical palings, painted green, and
the gate-posts are brick. There is a
section of curving brick wall. such
as you see in old prints. Here is a
plot of gay tulips, Of jonquils. and a
bed of periwinkle blooming blue.
There is an azalea dressed with
