to drive away from the heat and

resist.
From the heart of the city to
picturesque old Morgantown, on the
lower Potomac, there are 40 miles
of smooth hard-surfaced roadway.
Branching off from the main nigh
way are roads leading to two other
popular summer resorts-Roc
Point and Chapel Point.

At the end of the drive cool

Starting from the Zero Milestone,
back of the White House, the
route stretches out Pennsylvania
Ave, to Eleventh st. s. e. There
1t turns right, going down Eleventh
Street to the Anacostia bridge. At
the first intersection after crossing
the bridge the traveller to Morgan
town turns left into Good Hope
Road and climbs a long grade to
the little community of Good Hope.
The road to MorgantoWn sweeps
around a broad turn to the right
at Good Hope. This places the

Situated on the end of a penin-
sula Jutting out into the river, the
resort has more than two miles of
sandy beach on two sides.
The water Is shallow near shore
and grows gradually deeper, reach
ing depth of about eight feet 200
yards offshore. Water slides and
diving boards are at hand when
one grows tired of swimming.
There is a beautiful picnic grove
under broad shade trees.
Colonial Beach Is just across the
river from Morgantown, and twice
day a ferry carries passengers
back and forth between the two re-
sorts. The ferry leaves Morgan
town at 1890 and $50 o'clock each
day.
The fishing at Morgantown is
excellent. Many try their luck from
the old wharf at the resort while
others charter fishing boats and
sail out into the river.

On the State road just before
reaching Wayside the Grain family
owns another old and historic house.

looks the highway. The house was
built in 1892. and in the early years
was owned by Franklin Weems.
That was in the days when the
hospitality of southern Maryland
was famous throughout the land,
and Weems was one OF the coun-
try's most hospitable hosts.
A Country Gentleman
According to old tradition con-
nected with the house, Weems kept
a pack OF 100 foxhounds, had a
continuous poker game for 40 years,
kept his cellar filled with SO barrels
of brandy and best wines, and gave
party~for the young people of the
surrounding countryside three times
"a week.
With the exception of the dirt
roads leading to Chapel Point and
Morgantown, the motorist travels
over State highway throughout
the tour. The highway is in ex-
cellent condition, but below La
Plata workmen are constructing
shoulders at the sides OF the road,
and it is rather narrow. There
are no detours, however.

Use Starter to Save
Battery on Long Trips

Motorists driving along the high
ways in the daytime with the head
lights of their automobile burning
are merely trying to dispense with
excess current in the battery. ac-
cording to the American Automobile
A association. Many new cars are
sold with the battery charging rat@
set too high.
To prevent this running the bat
terry motorists should use the starter
at frequent intervals on a long
trip. Burning the headlights helps
cut down the charging rate but
does not take excess power from
the battery.

The view from the hill on which
the chapel is located Is worth driv-

blue water wind toward the bay

background.
Miles of hard, smooth white sand
line the shores of the rivers at
the bottom of the hill forming one
of the best bathing beaches near
Washington. The water is shallow

gently slopes down until it reaches
depth of eight feet 500 yards from

are locker accommodations for more

Delightful picnic grounds can be

and benches have been placed under
the trees by the resort owners.

Old Romantic Town
Two-and-a-half miles from La
Plata is the forgotten romantic
town OF Port Tobacco. When
Charles county was chartered in
1850, Port Tobacco was selected as
the county seat. The towa grew at
the side of the Port Tobacco River,
a tributary Of the Potomac. 1t be-
came one of the most important
ports in the East and ocean vessels
came there to carry away tobacco
grown in Southern Maryland.
The social life of almost all the
old Maryland Colonial families cen
tered around the little town until
the river began to dry up. Soon 1t
became too shallow for shipping
and other ports grew up further
down the river.
Now the old town Is almost de-
serted. The enormous masonry of
the historic old courthouse and old
residences is in ruins.
Famous County Seats
Among some of the famous coun.
try seats established around the gay
little town in the eighteenth century
are Chandlee's, Hope, home of Col.
William Chandlee; Mulberry Grove
was the seat of John Hanson;
Thomas Stone, signer of the Dec
laration of Independence. lived at
Habre de Venture; La Grange is
said to have been built by George
Washington's intimate friend. DR..

the traveller rides four miles and
reaches the road to Chapel Point.
That popular swimming resort is on
the banks of the Port Tobacco and
Potomac Rivers two miles from the
State Highway.
The resort derived its name from
old st. Ignatius' Chapel en- a high
hill overlooking the rivers. The
church. one of the oldest in the
State, was founded in 1912 by the
Jesuit Fathers who landed at st.
Mary's City in 1884 with Lord Cal
vert.
A Perilous Way
AS the priests made their way
inland from st. Marys City they
encountered bitter feelings from
other colonists because of their
faith. So ,perilous was their un-
dertaking when they founded the
church at Chapel Point that they
came in the role iof Maryland gen.
tlemen seeking a country seat. The
parish was known at st. Thomas
Manor and from there the clergy
men in disguise made their way
through the county.
In an old graveyard beside the
church are tombstones marking the
graves OF priests and colonists who
