Women Who
Worked Once
DYgzO FTO7U11
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

The change of status in thirty
years concerning the girl who
works" is almost beyond belief.
The young woman who now steps
out of a normal school, business
college, or university, fired by an
ambition to earn money, deserves
credit but not the credit that went
to those girls a generation or two
ago who faced criticism and almost
ostracism if they chose to be finan-
clally independent.
Social Outcast
We wonder what a girl would
think now, who is preparing herself
for teaching, if confronted by a GER
tain paragraph in a small book Of
suggestions" for teachers used by
certain normal schools in 1900. This
little book admonished its readers
thus: "a teacher must remember
that she has no social position"
wonder what would happen to
the author of such a ridiculous SEN
timent now.
That attitude, however, was typ
ical at the time of almost any
career a woman chose to follow
outside of the home. There were
exceptions, such as law or medicine,
but they we're too occasional to
count
Opposed Earning Money
Even the arts ceased to be hon
ored by the smiles of the socially
elect if they became professional
and earned money. A girl could
dabble in painting or decorating,
but the instant she took money,

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CULPEPER, Va, June THE most
historic spot in historic Culpeper
County" was the scene of interest to-
day when members of the Daughters
of the American Revolution from all
over Virginia and many other distln-
gulShed persons gathered for unvelllng
exercises at the stone which has been
erected by the Culpeper Minute Men
Chapter, D. A. r.. to mark the grave OF
Mrs. Betty Washington Lewis, on West
ern View Farm, three miles from this
town.
Mrs. Lewis was the widow of the pa
triot Col Fielding Lewis of Kenmore,
in Fredericksburg, and the only sister
Of George Washington. She was born
at Wakefield, the old home of the
Washingtons, in Westmoreland County,
two years after the birth of her diStin-
guiShed brother, and when still in her
teens became the second wife of young
Lewis. whose first wife had been her
cousin, Catherine Washington. He built
for her the Kenmore mansion, which
has become q national shrine.
After the death of Col Lewis, in 178l
she came to make her home with her
daughter, Mrs. Charles Carter. who was
living at Western View, In this county.
and there she died and was buried
March 81, 1897. The fact that her
grave was so long unmarked probably
was due to removal of the Charles Car
ter family to Clarke County.
At the exercises today patriotic ad
dresses were made by Representative r.
Walton Moore of Fairfax, who gave
sketch of the life of Mrs. Lewis and
paid tribute to the work of the Cul-
peper Minute Men Chapter Music was
by the Culpeper Band, under direction
of j. F. Bicknell, and patriotic songs by
a chorus.
A picturesque feature was the strew-
ing of flowers by group of children in
the costume of 131 years ago and the
unveiling of the stone by the regent of
the chapter, Mrs. Berkeley c. Calfee,
assisted by Mrs. v. NJ Fleming of Fred
ericksburg, president of the Kenmore
Association.
The closing address was made by
John r. Saunders. attorney general of

Virginia. Later all members of the
Daughters of the Revolution and other
guests were entertained at a lunch
served in Peterkin Memorial Hall, Gull

The stone is a massive fiat slab of
granite and of such shape and general
design as were used at the time of her
death, in 1897. 1t rests upon a sub
stantial foundation of concrete and spe-
cial hard-fired brick, and is surrounded
by a protective iron fence of massive
design. The inscription follows:

P).-The single-motored monoplane
Columbia took to the air today on the
first leg of another transatlantic flight
and this time it carried woman as
passenger
Last Summer the Columbia sprang
into fame as transatlantic passenger
plane when Clarence Chamberlin flew it
to Germany with Charles A. Levine as
passenger.
On the present flight there are two
pilots oliver lie Boutillier and Arthur
Angles, and Miss Mabel Boil is the
passenger.
The Columbia took the air on its
latest venture at 6:14 o'clock daylight
time this morning with Old Orchard,
Me-, 270 miles away, as its immediate
destination
There the tanks we're to be fueled

Miss Boil hopes to beat Miss Amelia
Earhart, now waiting in Newfoun6-
land to make a similar attempt
Few people saw the take-of this
morning, not more than 100 being scat
tered about the field, and most of them
were reporters and photographers.
Mrs. Joseph Boil, elderly mother of
"the Queen of DIAMONDS" as Miss Boil
is popularity known, was with her
daughter until the plane took to the
air, and expressed entire confidence in
the success of the flight.
After the Columbia left Levine decid-
ed not to follow Immediately and drove
back to New York with Mrs. Boil.
He said he would fly to Old orchard
late this afternoon with Mrs. Boil, and
that probably Bert Acosta would pilot
the plane.
II would pilot it myself" he said,
but Mrs. Boil is going along, so I don't
believe it would be safe"
Accompanied by Mechanic.
Miss Boil and her two-man crew were
accompanied in the Columbia by An
drew Surini, mechanic, who was to tune
up the plane at Old Orchard. He will
not make the ocean flight.
There was little ceremony about to-
days take-off. Levine arrived at the
field with the flyers just at dawn, and
within an hour the Columbia was in
the air. The take-off was made with
out apparent difficulty, although the
plane did not rise as quickly as OBJ
servers expected.
It was we'll above the ground as 1t

is jubilant over the prospective accord.
The keen rivalry of the Mexico City
dailies subsidized to the extent that they
agreed not to publish premature an

the failure of the negotiations. The
official secrecy. continues and 1t is not
even admitted that discussions of the
question are possible. officials at the
American embassy are non-committal.
However, an atmosphere of optimism
prevails. Everybody knows that AM
baSSadcr Morrow, as an individual, has
been endeavoring to settle the question,
which has been one of the main OBJ
Stacles to the success of his task in re-
moving the difficulties between Mexico
and the United States.
Since the conference between Ambas-
sador Morrow, President Gales and a
representative of the Vatican Maun-
dy Thursday, things have been assum-
ing favorable aspect. 1t is known that
Mgr Burke was the Vatican representa-
tive. Apparently the President was sin
cere in his desire to bring about accord.
However, the fight was by no means
concluded. 1t merely brought about a
new stage in the conflict.
~ Since the fatal days of 1926 when the
conflict began, members of the National
Episcopate have been divided into two
factions, one of which is pacific and the
other belligerent The former is headed
by Pascual DiaZ and Archbishop Ruiz y
Flores These men almost succeeded In
reaching an agreement with President
Gales had not the papal nuncio, George
j. Caruana, at that time in Havana, in

the Catholic rebellion doomed and the
goodwill Offices of Mr. Morrow and
Mgr Burke the Pacif1sts apparently
gained the upper hand and felt them
selves sufficiently strong to take up mat
ters directly with Rome despite the bel
ligerents, who are in weaker position
owing to the happenings in Mexico.

gieus services in the near future has
