w asMimgGom Letter
BY HERBERT c. PLUMMER

W~ASH1NGION, aug. Tine name willard" and
hotel have been synonymous for almost a century in
Washington.
And the Willard hotel boasts that it not only is
one Of the most celebrated hosteIries in the United
States, but also that its reputation is international.
Since l347 II has occupied the site on the north
west corner Of Pennsylvania avenue at Fourteenth
street. Presidents have made it their home. Am
oasSadors have MADE it their embassy. Scores OF men
nigh in the official Life Of this and other countries
have added to its fame and historic glory by being
guests there.
Announcement was made the other day that the
hotel had been sold. But the new owners haster.ed
to assure all that the name Willard" would be
retained in the nomenclature of Washington. Plans
fer improvement have been worked out, but they will
in no way disturb the hotels ilustrious history.
TEMPORARY WHITE HOUSE
Calvin Coolidge lived here during his entire term
as vice president. And upon succeeding to the presi-
dency, on the death OF Harding, he continued 10 live
at the Willard for three weeks. During that time,
the entire office force OF the White House was quar-
tered there and the business affairs Of the nation
caryisd on within its walls.
During the administration Of Woodrow Wilson, the
vice president, Thomas r. Marshall, lived at the
Willard. President Harding occupied the presidential
suite the night before he was inaugurated.
Lincoln. when he came TO Washington under guard
for his first Inauguration, stopped there.
Lafayette was entertained there, and the hotel was
the scene of the banquet rendered him by congress.
Zachary Taylor. in l849. was the first president of
the United States to stop at the Willard. From the
balcony. on February %. a few days before his
Inauguration. he addressed the people Of Washington.
Franklin Pierce was a guest there just before his
Inauguration in 1853, and here also on March 30. Of
the same year, Mrs. Willard Fillmore, wife Of the
retiring president, died.
"
GAsTRONOMY
Buchanan made the Willard his headquarters
when he came to Washington for his Inauguration.
But perhaps the hotels most interesting guests
we're the members of the first embassy from Japan
who arrived in Washington in 1850 after a journey Of
three months.
The object Of their visit was to obtain a copy OF
the treaty between the United States and their gov
eminent, the original Of which had been burned in
1858 in the great fire at Jeddo. They remained
there for the entire month they were in Washington.
The willard hotel was born in a day when gas
trcnomic devotion was not taken carelessly by states
men. The first willard came TO Washington to
rescue a failing hotel with his cuisine. The wife OF
the owner remembered the steward in charge OF the
dining room on a Hudson river steamer. He was sent
for. He would stand. white aproned, at the head Of
the table and carve.
Later he sent for his brothers. Since l647 the
willard hotel has been a fixture Of the national
capital.

25RATTLESNAKES
ARE SLAIN At DEN
California Scientist Verifies
Reports of Congregation
in ReptiIian Lair.
Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BERKELEY, August 24.-If man
reports having seen legion of rattle
snakes sitting around in circles with
tails buzzing like a swarm Of bees. don t
be too sure that he has indigestion or Is
suffering from the heat.
For many years naturalists have
tended to scott at the idea that rattle
snakes congregated in dens. in spite OF
occasional rumors and unconfirmed
stories to this effect. because there never
has been a scientific and authoritative
description Of such find by trained
observer.
Curator Verifies Stories.
But this incredulity has been dissi-
pated You may believe your eyes the
next time rattlers swarm around your
feet like a school of mackerel. For E.
Raymond Hall, curator Of mammals in
the University Of California Museum of
Vertebrate Zoology, has just reported
the finding of a den that contained
scores of rattlers. AS evidence of the
find he has brought back Is rattle
snakes with him.
Hall explains that he and Ward c.
Russell. student at the university,
we're making collection Of specimens
in the vicinity of Wheeler Peak, Nevada.
when they we're told of a den Of wild
rattlesnakes which residents of the town
of Ely, miles away. had attacked with
rifles, shotguns and dynamite without
avail.
149 Previously Slain.
Their informant. Lloyd Robson,
county game warden, stated that 149
snakes had been killed two days before.
but 1t hadn't made much difference, for
Hall and Russell found approximately
so more sitting on their tails with heads
in air when they arrived.
The den is situated at the south end
Of butte in Spring Valley White Pine
County, New, about $50 yards from the
Pixies Peak Highway. The den proper
is sunken place in the ground which
has been blasted open several times
with dynamite in an attempt to kill
the inmates.
The snakes were very slow and
clumsy. Hall says, and by stepping care
fully they managed to Apr . cn the
den with ankle shoes and no Ng2i. e..
They were armed with pistols loaoed
with the finest bird shot and FILLED Is
of the reptiles before they retired The
vicinity looked like battle-ground
from the encounter that had taken
place two days before, what with dad
snakes and piles Of empty shells
Strewn about.
Den Found Five Years Ago.
Hall learned that the site of the den
was discovered five years ago by two
sheep herders, Doyle c. Robinson and
w. C. Kirkland, who thought the rat
ting was caused by swarm of bees.
Each year sorties have been made
against the snakes in the Spring and
Fall, but it has been found impossible
to kill them off. Hall says that they
probably pass the Winter in the den
and spread out over the valley in the
Summer. He visited the spot again
just before returning to Berkeley, and
none but dead snakes were in light.
During the remainder of their stay in
the vicinity they gathered scores OF
other specimens including a fine series
of seven porcupines. Antelope, they
report, are fairly numerous in that dis
trict.

PUTTING TASTE
into COOKERY
Four Women Experts Reds
cover Old Secret

An old secret rediscovered by
four weIl-known women cooking ex-
perts is worth the attention of every
woman in the United States. Vege-
tables are rated by scientists with
milk and fruits as essential foods
Anything that will make good vege-
tables more delicious, hence more
widely eaten, is of Importance to
the national health.
That is exactly the problem these
women experts were working on
how to make vegetables so delicious
that every member of the family
will enjoy them and eat them. They
cooked vegetables in many ways.
They worked and tasted patiently.
All voted unanimously in every
case in favor of vegetables cooked
in little water and with the addi-
ton of a dash of sugar. How SIM
ple-yet how far-reaching +!
Try this simple rule today with
beets, peas, string beans, lima
beans, corn, carrots, parsnips, sweet
potatoes, squash, onions, tomatoes,
cucumbers, spinach, asparagus, beet
greens and celery. Try using a
little sugar and just notice the
difference in flavor. Remember it
does not make the vegetables taste
sweet. 1t makes them fresher,
brighter and better.
Add also a little sugar to meat
and vegetable soup blends. Watch
how it brings out the f1avors of the
meats and vegetables. A little
sugar promotes successful cookery.
Good food promotes good health.

tried. Age is no barrier to the
splendid merits of this medicine.
Konjola works it's wonders for those
in the seventies and eighties as we'll
as for young men and women and
also may be given to the infant with
amazing results. But get all the
facts about Konjola. Call on the
Konjola Man, who is at Hooks De-
pendable Drug Store, Illinois and
Washington streets, Indianapolis,
and have him tell you the wonderful
story of this wonderful medicine. He
will tell you of case after case
wherein Koniola brought the first
and only relief. And is it not wise
to profit by the experiences Of
others. Take, as typical example
of Konjola at work, the case of Mrs.
Belle Weckernan, 1921 Kenwood
avenue, Indianapolis, who said to
the Konjola Man a few days ago:
Although I am seventy-one
years old, and had suffered for the
last twenty-five years, Konjola won
another of it's splendid victories in
my case. I praise this medicine
publicly in the hope that others will
profit from the lesson my experience
teaches.
When I say suffered for twenty
five years I mean that was in
misery day and night. Rheumatism
and kidney trouble made life mis-
cradle and because of my age 1 felt
that I would never see another we'll
day. My legs and feet were so swol-
len, stiff and painful that could
not walk. Whenever I wanted to
get around had to have someone
help me. I never left the house
During the night the weakness of
my kidneys disturbed my sleep three
or four times. Finally my food be-
gan to disagree with me and I felt
that was just about done for.
Medicines were of no avail and this
made me feel all the more certain
that my case was hopeless.
But Konjola was so sincerely rec
commended that / decided to take
one more chance for betterment
But I was taking no chance with
Konjola. 1t was exactly what I al
ways needed. 1t went right to work;
I could almost feel it. The surge of
returning health became more no
ticeable every day. I realized that,
at last, health was just around the
corner in spite of my age and the
length of suffering. 1t was several
months before Konjola completely
ended all my ailments, but it did
that thoroughly. Twenty-Five years
Of suffering is at an end. No more
rheumatism and my kidneys are
strong and functioning as Nature
intends. I walk any distance and
sleep soundly every night. All this
glorious health I owe to Konjola and
praise it with every breath"
Konjola contains no alcohol, 20

pressing chemicals. It is all medi-
cine, every drop and every drop

DISPUTE BETWEEN DELAWARE
AND NEW JERSEY PENDING
TO BE HEARD SOON BEFORE
THE q. S. SUPREME COURT
DelaWare's Claim Based on Histor-
ical Documents and Records of
Z. 5. Geographical Survey

Delaware oystermen and other
citizens who have been following
the boundary dispute between Del
aware and New Jersey, are close
ly following each and every move
ment in the case. The matter is
now awaiting argument before the
United States Supreme Court as a
result of a friendly suit started in
that court by New Jersey when
efforts to adjust the matter by
boundary commissions from the
two States failed. Delaware is
resting on the claim that the
boundary lire should be the geo
graphical center of the bay. New
Jerseys contention is that the
boundary line is the center of the
ship channel which is several miles
nearer the Delaware shore than it
is to New Jersey. Delaware's S
claim is based on historical docu-
ments and the records of the Unit
ed States Geographical Survey.
The boundary line between Della
ware and New Jersey is described
in the revised statutes of Delaware
as follows: LOW water mark on
the Eastern side of the Delaware
river within the twelve mile circle
of New Castle and the middle of
the bay below said circle" Oys-
termen have pointed out that the
channel can hardly be considered
as apermanent land mark because
the location is subject to change
according to the conditions in the
bay. Should New Jersey gain their
point and have the channel declar-
ed the boundary line of the bay,
then Delaware would have juris-
diction over very little of the bay
in the vicinity of the breakwater
at Lewes as the channel at that
point is only a few hundred yards
from the Delaware shore while it
is almost thirty miles from the
New Jersey coast.
