Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

August I, 1S63.-All the men, wagons,
horses and goods taken by Col. Mosby
In his raid on Fairfax Court House, Va.
have been recaptured by the I'd Massa-
chuscttS Cavalry, according TO infor-
nation received today ut Army head
quarters here. While no particulars
are given. 1t is assumed that a sIirmish
took place and that Mosby is now in
retreat. probably pursued by the Union
Cavalry.
J. H. Cockrill and F. Dove, who were
arrested by Capt. Perry at Fairfax Court
House. were committed to the Old Cap
itol Prison today. Cockrill Is believed
to be a spy in the service of MoSby.
He Is known to have made the boast
not long ago that he had been in WASH
inSton and had drunk at one OF the
local hotels. Dove is known to have
been in the Confederate service.
Elias Edmonds. 1r, OF the nth Vir-
ginia Cavalry, and John Koran OF the
prisoners from the Army of the Poto-
mac, will be closely confined for the
remainder Of the war. On being queS-
toned they told conflicting stories, and
it is suspected that they are Confed-
crate spies.
George Ashton and Robert Kendall,
with their wives and one child, were
brought here today as prisoners. They
were captured by the Potomac River
hotilla, and are believed to be spies or
to be engaged In handling contraband
goods. BY order Of the provost marshal,
they were confined in the Old Capitol
Prison. Both Ashton and Kendall are
known to have been in the Confederate
service. Two colored men-Abe Brooks
and William Hardman-were arrested
at the same time while guarding con-
trabsnd property. and they, too, have
been sent to prison.
1t was announced today that Cav
airy bureau has been established in
connection with the War Department.
1t will have charge OF the organization
and equipment OF the Cavalry forces OF
the Army and Of the provisions for
rlounts and remountS. The purchase
OF all horses by the QuartermaSter for
Cavalry service and all depots for the
reception and discipline Of recruits and
new regiments Of Cavalry will be under
the new bureau.
BY the establishment Of the Cavalry
bureau the War Department intends
to correct neglect and unnecessary ex-
pense in the Cavalry service. All Cav
airy officers hereafter will be carefully
watched. and those who are inatten-
tive to their duties or inefficient will
be dismissed from the service.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

to be excellent. and S8l 900, the sum
spent on It, is q modest one in movie
land.
Edgar Selwyn can be added to the
list Of city boys making good in the
village.
The singing and dancing picture will
be a permanent factor in productions
here, as is instanced in the fact that a
permanent chorus has been trained by
one studio and its members put under
contract for one year.
Training choruSes for the talkies has
been expensive and hazardous. The
girls prepared for the first pictures Of
this type really learned the new rou-
tines at a minimum salary in one studio
and then capitalized on their expert
ence and ability in the next. AS teach
ers and dance directors are high sal
aired. this wasn't profitable proceeding.
Hence the 12-month contracts, which
insure retaining the pupils taught for
reasonable time.
Few of the dancers are imported from
the East Coast. The local product has
demonstrated ability, imagination and
ingenuity.

OUR CHILDREN By Angelo patri

Didn't Knew.
What have you been doing? Wading
Just ruined it."
But, mother, I didn't know"
"You didn't know? Why how can
you say that when only the day before
yesterday I told you"
All day long you hear that story.
Wherever children are you hear the
four? Why only last week / told you
that answer. what's that? You didn't
know the address? Why don't you use
your head? told you that the other
day"
The child was told. No doubt about
it. But what of it? A merciful provi-
dence so created us that We could for
get. If we had to remember all we
heard and saw and felt, life would not
be endurable. It takes a lot of living,
a lot OF experiencing. to know how to re-
member and how to forget and nature
takes the safe side and let's the chill
dren forget.
II you want o child to remember
something you must do more than tell
him. You must first get him in a
listening mood. If his mind is deaf it
will not matter how wide open his ears
may be.
You must tell him what you want him
to know in as few words, in as clear
words, as possible.
Then you must have him do some
thing about 1t. Write 1t down, or put
the symbol Of the fact he is to remem-
Der somewhere for future reference.
Few children remember words spoken
once, casually. as one speaks of the
weather. Tell the child in the proper
way and he is likely to remember.
Emotion impresses experience A
happy emotion, JOY. sets a memory joy
ously. child wants TO remember what
made him happy. He wants to forget
what made him sad. Work on that
basis and the child will not trouble YOU

Everyday Psychology
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRoWLs.
Degrees of Thinking.

Sometimes you are so occupied in
thinking that you know nothing about
your surroundings, except the one thing
which for the moment engages your at
tention. ]. say for the moment, be-
cause all experiments show that these
periods OF extreme mental occupation
do not last more than one or two min
utes. It is impossible to keep the at
tention focused on one single object
for longer time. These periods of
rapt attention, Of absorbed thought,
are, Of course, rare. In all probability
there are q good many people in the
world who have never experienced this
degree of Simon-pure thinking. Such
thinking is hard work.
The average good thinking that goes
on In the world of mental occupation
belongs to another class. You will find
that when you are doing your hardest
thinking, it Is still possible for you
to yield to Interruptions. Some one
may speak to you, and while you do not
answer him at once you will do SO in
moment The fact that you may ask
for repetition of the interrupting ques-
ton or remark only shows that you
held 1t vaguely somewhere in the fringe
of consciousness.
Still more common Is a third sort
flcient. The attention fuctuates readily
and rapidly. Any sort OF interruption
is sufficient to turn the mind from what
1t is on to what Is about to be new
temporary focus. The emotions and
general physical feelings seem to facili-
tate this tendency to fiuctuate. That's
why 1t Is hard to keep your mind on
serious matters when you are angry or
when you are happy or when you have
the toothache.
A fourth degree is still less efficient
but perhaps not quite so Tightly. In
this kind Of thinking, the emotions
dominate the trend of mental occupa-
ton. Ordinary day-dreaming Is good
example Your wishes run riot and
carry you along with them.
Finally there is fifth degree which
is almost altogether unconscious. Wishes
and fears struggle for the command of
your thought activities. Some of their
strivings are just strong enough to
awaken you. Most of them remain as
vague memories, to be entirely lost
within a few hours after awakening
You call this thinking your dreams.

Canning and preserving is a term
often used to indicate the entire field
Of fruit and vegetable preservation in
bottles, cans. jars. glasses. crooks. etc.
When the housewife said she had put
up" so many baskets of fruit she used
q sort of blanket term that might mean
she had made jams, jellieS, preserves,
pickles or conServeS.
Such terms rs preserves. jams. etc.
we're and still are used rather loosely.
What precisely is the difference be-
tween canned peaches and preserved
peaches, between grape jam and grape
narmalade, between apple butter and
apple jelly?
Canning liz now used as q general
term to indicate all sorts OF fruit and
vegetable preServing-anything put
up" in jars, bottles, glasses, or even
crooks.
Preserves are. as the term is usually
used, made by canning whole pieces Of
fruit in sugar sirup. Some people
speak of all canned whole peaches as
preserved peaches, while others would
Use the term preserve only when the
sirup was quite rich.
The terms jam and marmalade have
about the same meaning. only as a
usual thing marmalade Is used with
reference to oranges. grapefruit, pine
apple, while jam is used in connection
with raspberries, strawberries and
other berries.

knowing" You see most of his not
knowing is due to the fact that some
thing within him did not wish to
know" did not wish to remember.
Remember the child is not to blame
Tor this. Most Of the time. 1t hap
pens because we have not caught his
attention sufficiently, we have not made
the idea clear; we have not set it in
happy mood. His forgetting is quite
unconscious and he is honest when he
says, Il don't know"
Telling a child something once il
rarely sufficient to register the idea 50
completely as to make it easier for him
to remember than to forget. The tell
ing has to be repeated in various wars.
and always, something has to be done
about in on the child's part
There is another side to this. We can
make children remember the wrong
things by the same method as we used
TO help them remember the right ones.
So be careful that fear anger or jeal-
ouSy does not enter into the chiId's
memory Of his experiences. Set his ex-
periences in happy emotion and they
will not be forgotten, and they will
strengthen his growth in good.

A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT C. PLUMMER.

In a ST. Louis Office some 80 years
wears ago two men sat down to discuss
what life still held in store for them.
Both were immensely wealthy. Rob-
ert S. Brookings was only IS years cid
and had acquired his wealth over a
span Of 25 years. He had started as
receiving clerk at a salary of S25 a
month-the exact cost of his board.
Samuel Cupples. much Older man.
had been Brookings employer and was
one of the foremost manufacturers Of
st. Louis.
The result OF this discussion was that
both agreed they had had about all the
fun they could get out Of making
money. The thing to do the remainder
of their lives was to try to enjoy spend
ing 1t.
Brookings began. And he became
one of Americas most interesting phi
lanthropists.
This man crowded into 80 years more
achievements than most men manage
in lifetime.

Of ground In his plans for the National
Capital 1t probably never occurred to
him that 1t would become school OF
diplomacy.
He intended it as a memorial tn Ae,-
n1iral Dupont, that famous old sea dog
who trod the decks of warship. Up
until a few years ago an iron statue Of
Dupont occupied the center of the
circle.
His descendants disliked it, They ap-
pealed to Congress for permission to
remove it and put in its place a foun-
tain. Permission was granted, and now
it Is one of the most beautiful little
parks in the city.
The rim of the circle is dotted with
flower vendors. Two or three old men
with clusters Of vari-colored toy BAL
looms move over the circle, selling them
to the children.
It Is one of the most interesting and
significant spots in Washington.

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. August 1.-The
most poignant touch in village life Is
Hollywood's regret at changed conditions
in the COLONY
Studios where famous stars once
reigned in almost legendary splendor
and with tyrannical power now have
the names OF equally famous but far
different types OF histr: lists on their
doors.
Richard Arlen shed tears last night
in A speech in which he deplored the
passing of the silent film and the regu-
lation motion picture actor. Something
grim and ineseapable is In the air-the
psychology Of change, so terrible when
it means the passing Of accustomed
things, vet so welcome when one realizes
that without it there is no progress.
One of the last of the silent pictures
to be previewed in Hollywood brought
out a small representation Of the ia
nous Of the colony. The picture was
watched gravely and without noticeable
demonstration from the audience-thls
despite the fact that animals made up
a large portion of the interest OF the
film, and as actors animals never fail.
Greta CARLOS struggle with the Eng
lish idiom has delayed the shooting OF
hllhh SLtA AoblCs 1AC1e1 hA
meanwhile, one more silent f1lm.
Jacques Feyder, famous Continental d.
rector, will megaphone it, and 1t Is a
story OF intrigue of Old World type.
This proceeding is less risk with
Carlo than with other artists OF the
silent era. Under the present regime
she is the one person of Hollywood
about whom the vital interest Of the
entire world centers. But because she
has mingled so little with local people
and kept her point OF view ss nearly
confined to her own country as possible,
her difficulties with English will prob
ably be great.
Among the newcomers to the colony
is Edgar Selwyn. to whom the pToduc-
ton OF plays Is no new thing.
It was expected he would have the
same difficulties which beset the average
Fasteners arriving in NORTHUMBERLAND
era problems and the baf11ing limitation
OF movie technique.
Irving Thalberg asked Selwyn what
he wanted to do, and he replied that
he wanted to get story and shoot it.
Some weeks later Thalberg asked him
If he had his story, and Selwyn replied
yes" and that he was ready to shoot.
They gave the word to proceed and
then awaited the first loud cry for help.
It never came. Edgar Selwyn turned
out his first talking picture in record
