Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

August 2S, 1862.--Information received
at military headquarters here today
disclosed the source Of the cannonading
which was heard nearly all day yes
terday by persons on the Virginia side
of the river and reported by many who
came across to this city. An engage
ment was being fought between Scan
Ions brigade of Gen. CoX's division OF
the Union Army under Gen. Pope and
force of Confcderates at Bull Run, near
the place where the big battle of last
Summer was fought. The contest was
for the possession of railroad Drloge.
1t Is understood that the Confederates
retained possession OF the bridge at
nightfall, but hope was expressed In
military circles here that Scanlon mas

Losses in the fighting thus far have
been heavy on both sides. reports indi-
cate.
The main engagement of yesterday.
however, was that of Gen. Hooker's
division with large Confederate force
at Bristow Station. Early dispatches
indicate that Hooker has driven the
Confederates back slowly toward Ma
nassas Junction. Apparently. however,
the Confederate Army Is In position
from which it can advance toward
Washington.
The fortifications around Washington
are so garrisoned, equipped and pre-
pared as to enable them successfully to
withstand any attack which the Con-
federates might be able to make at
this time. according TO the military
authorities. War Department ofhclalS
are of the opinion that the Confederates
intend either to put Bull Run between
them and the Union Army and then
to asSail the Notifications of Washing
ton or else to attempt to cross over the
Potomac northwest of Washington into
Maryland. marching probably by way
of LeeSburg, Va. It is expected that
the next % hours will disclose their real
purpose.
The postmaster at Fairfax Court
House arrived hurriedly In this city at
a very early hour this morning, having
packed up his goods and the mails and
left there last evening In apprehension
of Confederate raid upon that point.
No ground for such apprehension could
be found here today, but the postmas-
ter said that as he was fleeing he looked
back and saw a bright light in the
direction of Fairfax Court House. which
might have come from buildings fired
by the Confederates

THE MAN WITH A VOW
BY HONORE DE BALZAC.

Cambremer went to find his son. He
was playing billiards. He obtained the
goldpiece from the cashier. where the
son had spent 1t. It was undoubtedly
the one which had been sewed in the
mattress, for 1t had scratch on IL.
Cambremer took his son back home
with him, and sat with loaded gun
across his knees. Cambremer said that
If his son lied he would shoot him deao

he had stolen the goldpiece. He would
not confess to that petty crime. Ano
his mother begged the father to have
mercy.
The father said the coin was marked
like the one that Lad been in the mat
tress. The son paled at this. His father
commanded him to say his prayers, snc
sent for a priest that he might confess.
But the son was shrewd--he though!
that his father would not kill him until
he had confessed, so he would not talk
to the priest.
The priest was dismissed. The son
went to bed. and. confident that 1t Woulo
be all right with his father in the
morning went to sleep. But his fathe!

Too Still.

1t is not wise to praise child for
being too still A child loves praise
and he will do almost anything to win
1t. Keeping still Is not the best way to
make growth and it is the business of
childs life to grow. A certain amount
of noise and confusion always ac-
companies his growth and it is the
part of wisdom to provide for that.
The activity and noise of child an
noys the adults and TO secure peace
they threaten or bride. according TO
the nature of the parties, to gain quiet.
Jacob. If you sit STILL without say
ing q word, until the clock strikes. Ill
give you quarter"
Jacob sat still and kept silence for
the hour. He got his quarter and put
it in the bank 1t was not long before
another member of the family pur-
chased an hours quiet at a high rate.
Before the end of his fifth year the
small boy had a perfect gift for sill
ence He was silent and nobody had
to pay him for 1t. either. He was so
still. so silent that his mother took him
to a doctor to see what was the mat
ter. Nothing at ALL said the doctor.
Let him run and play more"
But he won't run and play"
"Oh, but he must" said the doctor
with conclusive emphasis.
But he couldn't. The inward self
mad taken on the task of quiet and
inaction. The inquiring mind had
been lulled to sleep. The growth OF
the child had been retarded and 1t
took several years of intensive training
to bring the child back to the normal
noise and activity of childhood.
There must be regard for the rights
of the grown up person in the family.
A tired worker must have rest and
peace within his house. But there Is
no reason why it should be purchased
at the expense of the child's growth.
The waking day is long. There IS
part of 1t for meals part for play,
for work, for rest, for leisure. The
schedule ought to be so arranged as to
insure activity for the child and repose
for the adult. A good administrator
can manage that with ease.
1t is not good for the manners and
the morals of children to have them
think it is quite the thing to make
themselves heard and felt in season
and out. They must know that the
playground is the place for boisterous
play and that only very ill-bred child,

There is a happy medium in all

a child opportunity for activity and its

Exporters See Boom
In Auto Trade

DETROIT, Oct. "a. - Automobile
leaders here at this time are paying
special heed, in their surveys OF
1929 market trends, to the export
aspects of the industry. conscious
of the fact that overseas trade has
been growing consistently until it
stands today third in the list of
American exports with a valuation
of $46O, 000,0 900.
This is regarded as significant,
coming, as it does, with the industry
entered upon the final quarter of
what promises to be the greatest
year in the history of the domestic
market. with no increase in home
demand expected during 1929.
Far from viewing with compla-
cency the gigantic forward strides
made in foreign markets since 1921,
the consensus of expert opinion ad-
heres to the view that the EXPORT
business is still an infant-a giant
infant which promises to achieve a
mighty growth. Rehabilitation OF
Europe, the betterment of road con.
oitions all over the world. the estab:
lishment of American credit systems
abroad and the continuous improve
ment of American manufacturing
methods are among the reasons as
signed for a view of the foreign
market that; is decidedly optimistic.
Last week, Fl. j. Klingler, gem
eral sales manager of the Chevrolet
Motor Company, world leader in
domestic and foreign sales, issued a
statement in which he predicted
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1928-10-24

} that America will be exporting
1000, 900 cars annually within the
next few years. Mr.. Klingler made
this prediction fully aware that the
total number of American cars
shipped abroad for sale in 1927 was
460 ,305, and cognizant too, OF the
fact that foreign trade barriers are
not likely ever to be obliterated.
Explaining his forecast, he said;
Zone million American-mades cars
will be shipped overseas and sold
in the next few years. Today there
are upwards of 29,5O5, ATS motor
vehicles in the world, and Of this
number 23,000,000 are in use in the
United States.. feel that this s
altogether out OF proportion. TIL ;
United States has only about 1-2Oth
OF the worlds population and only
a fraction of its habitable land.
Yet it owns 80 per cent OF all the
motor vehicles in the world.
General Motors export. apply
ing American methods OF manufac-
ture, distribution and credit, has
gone a long way in the last few
years to make the world motor
minded. For instance, Chevrolet
cars and trucks are now being sold
in 104 countries from Iceland in
the North to New Zealand in the
South, and each one OF these cars
is serving as an individual am
bassador of the superiority Of the
American product. Each il educat.
ing the world at large of the
advantages OF economical trans
portation that cannot be surpassed.
