OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
[FTOm National Editorial ASsOciatiOH]
ESPECIAL TO cHRoNIcLEl

ESPECIAL TO CHRONICLEl
Washington, June 13.-With the
Executive, Legislative and Judicial
heads of the Nation absent from the
Capital, all eyes are turned toward
Kansas City. All but three members
of President Coolidge's official fam
lily are attending the Republican
National Convention, although many
are not delegates from their states.
Secretaries Kellogg and Hoover are
, at their desks, while Attorney Cen
eral Sargent is in New England
speaking at a college graduation.
Probably the largest force ever
assigned to Summer White House,
eighty-eight persons in all, are
with the President at Brule, Wis
consin. The number of newspaper
correspondents and photographers
at the summer home of the Chief
Executive are much smaller than
usual, due to the political conven-
ton. From all reports the Presi-
dent seems to be pleased with his
new surroundings. The only change
which he has ordered in his tenn
porary home up to the present
time is a special dog bathing
place, which shows that he is rather
meticulous about the welfare of his
pets.
Perhaps the most closely guarded
telegraph wires in the country are
those connecting the Presidents
summer home, the Kansas City Con-
vention headquarters and the White
House here. These private lines
carry messages which, if known to
interested parties, would play havoc
with many plans, and in many in
stances the information might be
used to financial advantage, as in
side tips are always in demand in
the investment markets of the
country.
Indignation by farm groups over
President Coolidge's veto of the |
McNary-Haugen bill has caused the
American Farm Bureau Federation |
to present its plank to the Republi- |
can National Convention, demand
ing system by which the farmers
bargaining power can equal that of
competitive groups and by which
SAOJ Cell 4CIctAu IuClI luu6D6uuGuCG.
Practically the same plank present
ed to the Republican Convention
will also be presented to the Demo-
cratic Convention at Houston. From
present indications a deadlock is
imminent unless these farm groups
are accorded what they believe to
De just demands.
Whether there will be a third {
'arty of significant proportions this +
1ear will be decided by conferences,
here in Washington, after 6
10Th the Kansas City and Houston )
The feeling in Wash
ngton and elsewhere is that if
here is third party it will be the
ignal for opening of money bags.
Practically nobody believes a third
arty could win this year.

DELAWARE AND N.
CAROLINA SETTLE
LICENSE DISPUTE

What had the appearance of being
a motor truck war between North
Carolina and Delaware has been
settled, satisfactorily to all con-
cerned.
The operators of the motor trucks
owned and registered in Delaware
and hauling berries from North Car
Olina to northern markets, were re-
Gently notified by the North Caro-
lima authorities, that they must take
out a North Carolina registration
in order to continue to haul from
North Carolina.
About May IA, Governor Robinson
received a telegram from North
Carolina signed by a resident Of
Bridgeville, stating that he had
been ordered to take out North Car
olina licenses. Governor Robinson
turned the telegram over to the
State Motor Vehicle Department,
and on the following Wednesday,
Captain Ray of the highway police
told Motor Vehicle Director Will
liam Ball that the State police had
received complaints similar to the
one Governor Robinson had re-
ceived, and also that there were
several North Carolina trucks oper-
ating over the highways of Della
ware.
After consulting with Secretary
of State Grantland, Mr.. Ball told
Captain Ray to seize all North
Carolina trucks operating over the
Delaware highways and hold them
until their owners registered them
in Delaware.
While in Cleveland, Ohio, attend
ing the Conference of Eastern Mo-
tor Vehicle Administrators, Mr.. Ball
met the representative of the North |
Carolina Motor Vehicle Depart |
ment, Sprague Silver.
Mr.. Ball and Mr.. Silver conferred |
on the subject and soon an agree
ment was reached whereby Della
ware trucks could continue to haul |
from North Carolina without being |
requested to obtain North Carolina |
registration, and a like privilege
was granted North Carolina trucks
by Delaware authorities.
Mr. Ball sent telegram to Secre-
tary of State Grantland, notifying
him of the agreement and Mr. Sill
yer did likewise with the North Car
olina authorities.
Recently Mr.. Hall received the
following letter from Mr.. Silver
which apparently settles the affair
between the two states:
My dear Mr.. Hall:-"In reply to
your letter of May 81, beg to advise
that the writer personally took up
the matter with the Commissioner
of Revenue, regarding Delaware
trucks, and I am glad to inform you
that the Commissioner sustained
me in the conversation and ruling
gave you in Cleveland.
I trust that this occurrence will
not happen again, and assuring you
hat am always glad to thrash
.hese matters out with you"

SS GUESS I'll have to ask you
Il Kitchen Clubbers to come
back and make my kitchen ugly"
laughed Mrs. Adams, whose
kitchen had been the subject for
discussion several weeks before.
you've made it so attractive
that not only my daughter but
half a dozen other girls want to
do their entertaining there"
Mrs. Adams was one of the
thousands of mothers who find
themselves having to compete
with the movies, drug stores and
the streets for their children's in
terest. She had met the situation
fairly and frankly, realizing that
she couldn't force her children to
enjoy staying at home, even if
she made them stay there. If
home was to compete with out
side interests, it must be more at
tractive. That was that
When Mrs. Adams was a girl
and Mr.. Adams was coming to
see her, an evening sitting on the
sofa with him was thrill enough.
But her girl scorned that kind of
evening. She had to be doing
something. And Mrs. Adams adj
mitted to herself with faint,
reminiscent blush, that probably
her daughters idea of entertain
ment was the more wholesome of
the two.
Mrs. Adams got her solution
to the problem one rainy evening
when she poked her head in the
living-room door and announced
that she would make raisin-nut
fudge if she could find someone
to seed raisins and shell nuts.
Boredom vanished. Aprons went
on. One couple made great to-
do over the raisins. The other
couple shelled the nuts in not
more than twice the time Mrs. |
Adams would have used. The |
candy was good, and the party
ended at a late hour in the kitchen. |
AT the next meeting of the Club
Mrs. Adams asked for a kitchen
color scheme that would look So
phisticated and wouldn't show
dirt too much! Nancy's note
book shows what she got.

RAPPAHANNOCK
VALLEY HAS INTER-
ESTING HISTORY

Most people who have studied
geography know that the Kappa.
hammock River is located in Vir-
ginia but fewer people are aware
of the fact that the Rappahannock
Valley is one of the most historic
regions in the United States, being
filled with sites of historic events
Of the early colonial days, of the
Revolutionary and Civil wars. The
principal city of the valley is
Fredericksburg, the burial place of
George Washington's mother, and
the scene of some of the severest
fighting of the Civil War.
Mr.. Quaker O'Taylor has written
an interesting historical narrative
of the Rappahannock region for the
current number of the National Re
public. In mentioning Fredericks-
burg, Mr.. O'Taylor says in part:
zone of the most interesting Ma
sonic lodges in the world is the one
at Fredericksburg Washington
became a member of this lodge No
vember 4, 1852; the lodge owns the
Bible used in the ceremonies. 1t
also owns a painting of Washington
by Stuart, which is valued at $780,

"Rev. Patrick Henry, uncle of the
Patrick Henry of "Give me liberty
or give me death" fame, was an ear
ly resident of Rappahannock Val
ley. He was the first rector of st.
Georges Church at Fredericksburg
Beneath the steps of this church is
buried Fielding Lewis, husband of
Betty Washington, sister Of General
Washington. In the little grave
yard adjoining the church sleep the
remains of Col. John cambridge, the
father of Martha Washington. The
Rising Sun Tavern in Fredericks- |
burg in colonial and Revolutionary |
days was a favorite gathering place |
for the great men of Rappahannock
Valley and other sections of Vir-
ginia. Before the big fireplace in
this old hostelry frequently sat
Washington, Jefferson, Henry, Ma
son and others. It is claimed that
public school system and
the principles of religious liberty
had their birth here. The tavern
was built by Charles Washington,
brother of George, in 1865.

Jessie Andrews Zackery, pupil
of Oscar Saenger, has won for her
self in America a place in the front
rank without regard to race as most
gifted singer. Her voice is of an
extraordinary quality and range.
She sings with exquisite musical intel
ligence and is intensely charming.
Nine. Zackery has pleasing person
atty and possesses unusual poise,
grace and dignity. Her winsome
smile thrilled the audience and she
held the vast audience of approx
mately two thousand spellbound with
the rendition of her program of ro-
mantics, classics and Negro spirituaIs.
Nine. Zackery opened her program
with a group nina" by Pergolesi,
"Nymphs and Shepherds" by Purcell,
and Care Selve" by Handel. Her
rendition throughout was flawless.
She proved super master of musical
art in her Interpretation of "Caro
Nome" by Verdi. The grand opera
group, "Du Dist die Ruh," Schubert;
"Zueignung at the Ball." Tchaikow-
sky; "a Dream" Grieg, showed fine
ness of expression and highest merit
of voice. "Depuis lie jour Charpen-
tier" brought the rich tones of her
high coloratura voice that took the
audience by storm.
Her next group opened with that
pleasing number "Blackbirds' Song"
by Cyril Scott and three other songs
in this group carried her hearers to
realms unknown in voice. Nine,
