tention-the little stone
office In which he worked for Lord
Fairfax is to become a show place
Of Clark county, Virginia.
A hundred and seventy-elght years
ago George Washington might have
been found there any day. figuring
bnsily and porting over outstretched
charts and maps. In the neighbor-
hood he made his first acquaintance,
as a surveyor with a country he was
later to know as a soldier. Here he
became accustomed to hardshtps and
privations such as were to be his lot
In the Revolutionary war. The lit
tie office is only some sixty miles or
so from Washington, d. c. When
the young. surveyor worked there It

Henry, Lord Fairfax. was once visit

when George Washington was pres
ent. Lawrence Washington had mar
rIed William Fairfax,s daughter. The
great man took a fancy TO the hey,
Just past his seventeenth birthday.
Finding In him abilities and attain
ments beyond his years, he engaged
him to survey his vast tracts OF land
IN the rich valley Of the Alleghanles.
Washington set out In March, 174S.
together with George William Fair
fax; and, through Ashley's Gap in
the Blue Ridge mountains, the west
ern frontier OF inhabited Virginia,
they passed into the valley. In the
wilderness In the Shenandoah val
ley, about twelve miles from the pres
ent town Of Winchester, they stopped
at lodge where Lord Fairfax's land
bailiff, or steward. dwelt with as many
negroes as were necessary to farm the
newly cleared land.
This first arduOus expedition lasted
five weeks, with results OF such salts
faction to Lord Fairfax that he him
self moved across the Blue Ridge
soon afterward, taking up his quar-
tiers at the lodge. He laid out a
manor for the place, which he called
Greenway court, after his ancestral
home In England; but the house was
never built. The master himself slept
IN wooden structure about u feet
square, On the lawn nearby he built
a one-story Office, where his deeds
were drawn and his quit rents col
Iected. There the boy Washington did
his work, remaining for three years
In the service OF Lord Fairfax. Many
Of the now famous plats of his sur
veys and subdivisions were made I'M

.GOAL POST THEFT
 STRONGLY OPPOSED
Yale News Cones Ont Agains!
 Growing Practice

New Haven, Nov. % P-Oppon- ents' goal posts are not the only things that undergraduate might seize as souvenirs of victory if the practice is to be continued the 'Yale Alumni Weekly" yesterday pointed out in discussing the matter. "Why should noc we carry cut the idea in other contests?" It asks. There are our intercollegiate debates for instance. Why should not our win ming audience after a forensic boat in Woolsey Hall rush the platform and make off with some gilt organ pipes that adorn that sanstuary of opera, commencements and football rallies? That is not a bad idea and just about as sensible as to lug off goal posts. We leave it to our read CTS to complete the list. There is the eel grass on the Thames course the railway ties at Derby and the ice in the rockey rink that We expect will be ready this winter.
 About the only way to settle the question, perhaps, will be to make goal posts neutral ground by adopt ing the plan of Intercollegiate debat- CTS so that each team has q repre- sentative on if of both sides"
 The "Weekly" says that Yale was the first offender in the practice and graduates still prize splintered tro- phies of that Harvard game at Cam bridge.

So far as the New England line is concerned, 1t is doubtful whether it will ever be paying institution. There is not enough difference be- tween the air-mail time and the railroad mail time. It is not the shortest air line in the country, how ever, the one between Cleveland and Detroit being only 91 miles long. and the route between Cheyenne and Pueblo is less than 200 miles in length and is on the way towards making money. The route between Chicago and St. Louis. 27S miles long. is only little longer than the Boston-New York route and is mak- ing money.
 Conditions in New England seem to be different than in the middle west. If westerners take advantage of their air mail routes and New Englanders do not, it might be re- garded by impartial observers as re- flecting upon the commercial spirit in New England. And that would have been something for the New England Conference.

and electric apparatus generally. Sc has the price of tracks and all the appurtenances that are necessary to maintain a trolley line in fair con- dition.
 Every time a trolley concern needs supplies somebody is making a good profit on the supplies. There is every evidence that the big equipment companies have a vital influence in American trolley affairs, through organizations, through stock ownership, through official dom, and through every other method which makes the trolley concerns first class consuming market to be milked at will Maybe the trolley lines would pay better if there was less of this going on.
 The alacrity with which various trolley companies have taken to the installation of bus lines is the only fly in the ointment. Busses do not require tracks or electrical equip ment; but they require other species of supplies, and perhaps the equip ment companies can find a way to get hand in helping to furnish the as for the trolley lines.

EQUIPMENT COMPANIES
 AND TROIIENS

What influences have the trolley equipment companies in the affairs of the trolley concerns-or their remains?
 There arc those who say that the chief business of trolley companies nowadays is to garner profits, not for themselves but for the equip ment and electrical concerns.
 There are still people who are making money out Of the trolley busincss-good and big money but they are not in the trolley business.
 Trolley companies are greatly re- stricted in their buying market. They get lesi benefits from a com petitiye market than nearly any other industry When they need sup plies. from motors to tracks, their procedure is all more or less laid out for them.
 The trolley business may not be as well paying industry nowadays as the Standard oil company, but fl al least is something worth cultiyatinl for the equipment companies.
 IT is these equipment companie! who are vitaly interested in keeping the trolley business on its feet. Tho equipment companies are prosper ous; they are making money out O the trolley business; they are tn, only people connected with the cleo tric transportation business who ar, making money ont of it-and ar, doing this indirectly

NEW ENGLAND AND ITS AIR MAIL

Having a losing contract in New England, the Colonial Air Transport company is out ofter bigger field. Nobody can blame the company s directors. Transporting air mail be- tween Boston and New York has been anything but gold mine.
 The Colonial company is out for contract between New York and Chicago. It would be nice feather on the fuselage if this could be ob- tained. Unfortunately there is con siderable competition for the con tract, two other experienced con cerns being out after it.
 Perhaps the Colonial. if II loses the New York-Chicago contract, can 60 out. after some of the other lines to oe established, including the one from New York to Atlagta.

OLD HOME WEEK ON BROADWAY

New York City Is trying it's best to get chummy with the remainder of the country; 1t is trying to ape l small town ways; thinking of Broadway as a sort of Main street.
 The Great White Way is now 300 years old-that is to say, what is now that thoroughfare began 300 years ago as one Of the most i'm portant cowpaths on Manhattan.
 What to do about it? Celebrate l the tercentenary in regulation small | town style. That's what the big business men along the joypath have done.
 There has been carnival! A parade! A prize for the oldest merchant!
 There have been speeches, con- fetti, red lights, and all the other SLldll tONu Slull.
 Nothing that ever occurred along Main street, Janesboro, Wis, had anything on the doings along Broad way.
 It would seem that New York that is to say, Broadway-is trying to locate it's heart In truth, it is trying to "have heart.'
 For years people in the hinter- lands, where the real Main streets abound have been suspecting New York had everything but the heart
 This turn for the better in Broad way tactics is much to be admired; i; it is to be encouraged.
 Something of this kind has been noticeable elsewhere in Manhattan for some time. The New York news papers some months ago began pub fishing the names of those present at important social functions and | banquets, just like the newspapers do in Topeka, kans.
 The newspaper editors concluded that there actually were people in New York who were interested in knowing who attended these prominent functions, and not only interested in some sensational side remark made by one of the speak CTS.
 Going back even further one finds that New York always has been small towny in a big way. The only difference has been that instead of being interested in the goings and comings of the hardware mer- chant, it has been interested in the ! carvings on of Mir. Fifth Avenue or the silk stocking aristocracy along Riverside drive. And in the main particulars, there is relatively no difference between this view point and that of the average small town.

A TIP, IF NEEDED, TO THE POLICE

If the New Britain police officials believe in the potency of forced confessions"- means any kind of force from a wallop on the jaw to medieval torture-they might be mildly interested In how one more high court refused to up- hold a conviction based upon an ex- torted confession.
 Whenever the police amuse thcm- selves by beating up a. prisoner it comes under the general classifica- tion of giving the third degree" It is a crude method, totally inappro- priate in this twentieth century.
 This species of brutality has been linked with the New Britain police department by prisoners who have been amptly quoted. No denials have been forthcoming. We have no doubt those who have made com plaints in the past talked from ex- perience of a bad kind.
 If the New Britain police, or any other police in the state, are labor ing under the delusion that an ex- torted confession is worth the paper it is written upon they can with profit not the following from the Gulfport- Biloxi HeraId
