The generally discussed shift as
originated by DR.. II. l.. Williams OF
Minnesota where a group shifts and

has been the center of public dis
cussion for the past several years.
and it is this shift which occasioned
changes Of the rules during the past
year.

Of the game as evolved in 1894. the
rules committee has attempted to

a shift or huddle before the ball is
put in play.
In spite Of all this discussion Of
shifts and other styles Of play. foot
ball has become as fundamental in
its general scheme Of attack as base

the end positions, has become similar
both on olfense and defense. There
remains, however, quite a differ
ence in the disposition Of the backs.
Ninety percent Of the teams in the
United states use what is known as
the u" formation with a man
shifted in the line and the backs at
one side.
This Is the formation from which
the Minnesota shift makes its play
after the backs have made their
respective number OF hops.

at Stanford and also used by the

seismograph, with unerring accuracy,
writes as the quakes occur and not
after. A GalitZin vertical machine,
one of the rarest in existence, was
installed at Georgetown two years ago,

Researches Of the past half century,

Besides, the several governments the

encouragement to this work. Most
recently has the United States Gov

MARKER TO HONOR
MRS. BETTY LEWIS
Epitaph Found in Congress
SIGNAL Library Settles Dis
pute Over Grave.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CULPEPER, Va. July 30.--D,s-
covery of an epitaph in the Library of
Congress has affirmitively settled the
long mooted question of whether the
body Of Betty Washington Lewis, only
sister Of George Washington. is buried
at Western View. near this city.
"Alden's Epitaphs,' by Rev. Timothy
Alden, AN. in the library at Wash
ington contains the following;
Mrs. Elizabeth Lewis. the reliCt Of
Fielding Lewis. was lady of great
worth. She was distinguished by all
those virtues which characterize Il
beautiful daughter, a tender bosom
companion, an affectionate and sin
cere friend and obliginc neighbour. She
felt the power, enjoyed the comforts
ana exhibited in her life and converse.
ton the excellence of the Christian re-
ligion of which she was long a public
professor. She died at the age Of 81
years in the arms Of her daughter,
Mrs. Charles Carter. at the family seat
in Culpeper County, and entered into
rest which the glorious Redeemer has
prepared for the People of God.
Blessed are the dead which die in the

Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton. found records and persons claim
ing to know the location, and is pre-
pairing to mark the grave with n suit
ably inscribed stone. Culpeper County
records show that Charles Carter, hus-
band of Betty Lewis, daughter of Col.
Fielding Lewis and Elizabeth Wash
ington Lewis, purchased from Robert
Coleman in 1893 the estate at Western
View for ! $50 pounds, and sold 1t to
Samuel Slaughter in 1903. moving to
Clark County. While the Carriers
lived at Western View, two years be-
fore the death of George Washington.
Mrs. Lewis of Kenmore died there
and was buried in tine family plot. The
daughter, Betty Lewis Carter, and
her husband and children are buried
in Clark County near the Shenandoah
River and it was long believed that
since the grave at Culpeper bore no
marker Betty Washington Lewis was
buried with the Carriers. The epitaph
found in Washington fails to give the
location of the grave, but is taken to
indicate burial at Western View since
it was there she died, before removal
of the Carriers, and no record was
ever left of removal of her body

ing the grave several years ago. main
tanning Washington's illustrious sister
died at the home OF her son, Howell
Lewis, near RiXeyville. The epitaph
settles the question of where the death
occurred. stating specifically it was at
the Carter home. near Culpeper.
At the recent d. A. r. congress held
in Washington, ID, c., the historian
general stressed the fact that chap
ter in Virginia had located the grave
of Betty Washington Lewis near Cul-
pepper. Va, and it was spoken of as
being one of the most important ac-
complishments in the way of historical
research done by any chapter in the

fired two shots into his back. The
minister died on the way to the
hospital.
His deed accomplished, Bebi calm

surrendered his passport TO a police
man, and was taken away without
resistance. To the police commits
safy he explained that he had killed
Tsena Bey because he believed the
minister intended to betray Albania
to Jugo-Slavia.
Repeated questioning by the po-
lice failed to shake his assertion as
to the motive for his crime. He said
he was born al FL Bassan, Albania in
1904. His occupation he gave as
student.
News OF the assassination spread
rapidly and caused a sensation.
Tsena Bey, already minister to
Jugo-Slavia. had been only recently
named minister to Czecho-Slovakia aT

Zogu, the Albanian president, he
helped him denose former Premier

only 32 years old.
Not sharing Ahmed Zogu's friendly
ly feeling toward Italy, Il Is said, he
resigned his cabinet portfolios and
military command and was sent to
Belgrade as minister at his own re-
quest.
Tsen-Bey took the Jugo-Slavian
eide in the recent incident arising
over the arrest of the dragoman of
the Jugo-Slav legation at Tierna, the
Albanian capital. and-refused 90 re-
turn to Albania when called by All

was finally soothed over through

Two daring French aviators, Dieu-

Lebrix, have conquered the South At
lantic in one hop, a hop many times
attempted but never before ac-
complished.
Winging across the ocean from
st. Louis, Senegal, they brought
their Breguet military biplane "Nun-
fesser-Coli" down on the flying
field near Port Natal, on the tip Of
o'clock last night to receive the ova-
tions Of a great crowd and the Of
ficial congratulations Of Brazilian
officials.
Their start from So. Louis was
made at 6:23 yesterday a. m. Sene-
gal time. Flying over Dakar they
headed out across the Atlantic at
7:40. The distance from Dakar to
Port Natal is about 2,150 miles
which, with the three hour time diff
Fences gives them an elapsed time
from the African to the. South
American coasts Of 10 hours and an
average speed Of about I13 miles an
hour.
Costes and Lebrix now have be-
