years considerable interest has been
aroused in preservation Of Wakefield
as one of the Nations shrines.
'Washington's ancestors came to
Virginia in the seventeenth century
and secured a grant of land along the
Potomac River. Wakefield was the
name of the homestead which in.
cluded about / 900 acres and occupied
the blunted point of the triangle lying
between Pope and Bridges Creek In
Westmoreland County, Virginia. 1t
was made up of wooded and bottom
lands and was Of wonderful fertility.
The house, which faced the Potomac
River, was the typical settlers home
of the period, comprising four rooms
of fair size on the first floor, with a
loft above. At each end a stone Chin
ney was built on the outside, with a
large fireplace, each with capacity
of half cord of wood.
'Tt is supposed that the house was
bought with the estate and was con-
sequently quite old when Washington
was born. Washington's father, Au-
gustine, bought the old home from his
brother John. In addition to Wake
field, he also owned about 1000 acres
in an adjoining county. The old home
was uuLHCu HI AptHs Atso' AhAA =.
Washington is said to have been re-
sponsible for the fire herself. In
burning dead leaves and brush in the
garden, sparks settled on the roof,
and when the fire was discovered it
had made such headway that they
were unable to extinguish it. Most of
the contents of the building, however,
were saved through the efforts Of Mrs.
Washington and the slaves. The
family soon afterwards moved to an.
other part of the Washington estate,

STORKS DYING OUT
in GERMANY, SAID

BERLIN, tR)--The stork is dying
out in Germany. In 20 years the
number of occupied nests has de-
creased by approximately 70 per cent.
This is regarded as a bad omen by
the superstitious peasantry, who think
themselves twice blessed if stork
builds on their roof Indeed, in many
villages the peasants go to the length
of putting a cart-wheel On their
chimney, in order to entice this
harbinger of good times.
The reason German scientists adj
vance for this decrease is very
curious. In the winter the stork goes
to- South Africa, where his chief food
is the locust. In recent years the
South African farmers have been
waging a highly organized war on
the locust. In this campaign arsenic
plays leading part, and it has been
proved that whole colonies of storks
have periShed through eating arsenic

London Girls Prefer
Busses to SubWGyS

LONDON, R- Lord Ashfield is
trying to discover why it is that
women prefer busses.
He is working hard to induce more
people to travel in tubes and thus
relieve the congestion of London
streets Men listen to the appeals
for more tube travel, but women are
deaf. They continue to storm crowded
busses and shun underground trans
portation.
One explanation of the popularity
of busses is that women are able to
do a little window shopping from the
top of the open buSSeS, and do not
begrudge the added time it takes to
make long trips. @Ia
3 It has been found that highly
trained business women, who are ef-
ficient office workers, .patronize the
underground quite generally. But
housewives, mattresses and young shop
assistants prefer busses.
