he Hoover family had thought, but In
the fourteenth century.
was Jesse Clark Hoover, father of the
President.
Tracing the family tree was difficult
because the records of immigrants set
Ting in Pennsylvania during the eight
zenith century showed that two AndreaS
Hubers came from Germany to settle.
The second Andreas, although older, did
not arrive in Pennsylvania until 1741,
while documents in the family's posses
sion showed that the Presidents ances-
tor had been in this country at least the
year before.
Andreas was born January 20. 1923,
the son Of Jonas Huber. The latter, a
member OF the Reformed Church, was
mentioned in the records Of the town as
son of Johann Heinrich Huber, citizen
and linen-weaver at Oberklum, County
of Lenzburg, In the Swiss Canton Of
Aargau.
Most Distant Ancestor.
AS far - the records now available in
this country 20, Johann Heinrich Huber
is the most distant ancestor Of the pres
idential family yet traced. But Prof
Macco, digging buSily in the records of
the Swiss CantonS, had expressed the
belief that he has followed the line sue
cessfully back to the fourteenth century
when the Hubers were citizens and free
holders though not Of the nobility.
The fruit Of his Swiss Investigations
is expected to be brought to this coun-
try before long, to be added to the col
lection Of data already assembled at the
White House.

WORKERS HONOR
RETIRING WOMEN
One Completes Half Century
in Division as Other Ends
40th Year.

Neither Miss Gertrude L. Farrelly
nor Miss Estelle g. Mozart are women
to make excuses. On occasions when
the big clock in the Prohibition Bureau
has marked them late to work the fault
lay in some circumstance outside them
selves.
Wind and rain and their several vari-
atoms can demoralize street transpor-
tation, as every worker knows. Trafnc
from time to time has been stopped by
windfalls and flying debris or become
snowbound.
But in the face Of wind and weather,
Miss Farrelly and Miss Mozart. as they
pointed out to an attentive group OF
fellow workers yesterday, have fairly
good records for punctualty and attend
ance.
Late Five or Six Times.
Take Miss Farrelly's case. She has
worked for the bureau q matter OF so
years. In that time Miss Farrelly has
been late perhaps five or six times: She
counted them on the fingers Of one
hand and then thought of another
tardy mark. The last, she explained,
was due to the small tornado which Wis
tied Washington some years ago.
Miss Mozart's record Is hardly less
impressive. Although she has put in
but 40 years. there were only 10 DAYS
when Miss Mozart was late. Miss Mo-
Fart recalled them every one, somewhat
shame facedly, although the others
knew she was blameleSs in the matter.
"It pays to be on time and never
take more than your just leave" Miss
Farrelly and Miss Mozart agreed. The
other employees gather about and marked
their words.
Special Occasion In Division.
It was rather special occasion in
the division. The usual hum of ac-
tivity had given place to a general pa
laver. Smiles were exchanged and
hands clasped, for Miss Farrelly and
Miss Mozart were being retired.
The central figures of the impromptu
party, smiling and in something of
flutter, listened while presentation
speeches were made, congratulations
rendered and farewellS spoken.

ORDINATION Of Belief.
The belief that the family originated
in Baden Baden, one of the German

that the town of Ellerstadt, in the

Baden in payment Of debt. although

Fraunces' Tavern Relic
of Revolutionary Days

Frances tavern, in New York city,
was once a meeting place for Revolu-
tiOnists, later warehouse, and s4ill
later a saloon, but now stands re-
stored to its aspect as tavern. The
Sons of the Revolution in the state
of New York bought the old building
after it had descended to the status
of saloon. 1t has been recon-
structed, and it's interior. and exterior
conform as nearly as possible to the
Fraunces' tavern of Revolutionary
days.
John Adams and the delegates to
the second Continental congress
stopped overnight there on the way
to Philadelphia. The Sons of Liberty
and the Vigilance committee met
there on April %, 1874, and planned
the attack on the London, New York's
"tea party" In August, 1775, shot
fired from the British ship Asia struck
the building. The New York provincial
congress assembled there from May
IS to June 80, 1776
During the Revolutionary war the
tavern contributed its lead window
weights to the manufacture of bullets.

RedcOats ON
the Run That
April Morr,

One Of the most venerated shrines
in the United States lies at the re-
mote end of cul-de-sac leading from
Monument street and perhaps trif1e
more than a mile from the center of
the town of Concord, Mass.
Time was when this was not a
cul-de-sac, but a highway that ex-
tended from what then-that is in
1775-was called Great Meadows road,
across the Concord river, where it
branched, one fork connecting with
the highway near the Buttrick home,
and the other intersecting the Lowell
road near Colonel Barrett's place.
The connecting link between the two
shores of the sluggish stream was
known as the North bridge, and so it
is today. This road-without-an-exit
is not more than 400 feet in length
and shaded from end to end by trees
Of dignity, size and age. ss.Na&lsa~

the Battle of the North Bridge is re-

this sacred spot come thousands of
pilgrims each year.

abandoned, to again become part of
the Old Manse estate. Its then occu-
pant, Rev. DR.. Ripley, took pride in
pasturing his COW Tin the battlefeld''
as he called it. When the town Of
Concord determined to erect a monu-
ment at the site OF the North bridge,
he returned the land to the municipal
ity upon the occasion of the dedica-
ton of the shaft in 1886. In the
spring of 1875, upon the one hun
dredth anniversary of the Battle Of
North Bridge, Daniel Chester French's
monument Of the Minute Man was
dedicated, and upon its base is CHS
eled one verse of Emerson's stirring
hymn.
To recount bit of history may be
like carrying Goals to Newcastle.
However, here goes:
Gage, who was in British command
in Boston, learned that in Concord
were considerable quantity of pa
triot stores, and he determined to take
or destroy them. He sent detach-
ment of troops to carry out his or
ders. The grenadiers met their first
resistance at Lexington early on the
morning of April 10, 1915. Troops
under Colonel Smith and Major Pit
cairn pushed on to Concord. Pitcairn
took up his headquarters at the
Wright tavern, and detachment was
sent to North bridge. Captain Laurie,
in command, stationed his men advan-
tageously, as he thought. The pa
triots were massed on Punkatasset
hill, and, when reinforcements ar
rived, Col. James Barrett ordered
them down to the neighborhood of
Major Buttrick's home.
Captain Laurie, alarmed at this,
sent to Smith for reinforcements. At
a. m. Colonel Barrett ordered Butt
rick to lead his men to the bridge,
but cautioned them not to fire first.

command Of Captain Davis, was first

any rights they possessed of impos-
ing them, and that so far our connec-
ton had been Federal only and was
now dissolved by the commencement
of hostilities.
That, as to the King, we had been
bound to him by allegiance, but that
this bond was now dissolved by his
assent to the last act of Parliament,
by which he declares us out of his
protection, and by his levying war on
us, fact which had long ago proved
us out of his protection; it being
certain position in law that allegiance
and protection are reciprocal, the one
ceasing when the other is withdrawn.
1t appearing in the course of these
debates that the Colonies of New
York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware, Maryland and South Caro-
lima were not yet matured for falling
from the parent stem, but that they
were fast advancing to that state, it
was thought most prudent to wait a
while for them, and to postpone the
final decision to July 1; but, that this
might occasion as little delay as pos
sible, committee was appointed to
prepare Declaration of Independ-
ence. The committee were John
Adams, DR.. Franklin, Roger Sherman,
Robert r. Livingston and myself.
Committees were also appointed at
the same time to prepare a plan of
confederation for the Colonies and to
state the terms proper to be pro-
posed for foreign alliance. The COM
mittee for drawing the Declaration of
Independence desired me to do it. 1t
was accordingly done, and being ap-
proved by them, reported it to the
X House. on Friday, the 2Sth Of 5asse.
when it was read and ordered to lie
on the table. On Monday, the LIST of
July, the House resolved itself into
committee of the whole and resumed
the consideration of the original mo-
ton made by the delegates of Vir-
ginia, which, being again debated
through the day, was carried in the
Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachu-
sets, Rhode Island and Georgia.
South Carolina and Pennsylvania
voted against it. Delaware had but
two members present, and they were
divided. The delegates from New
New York declared they were for it
themselves and were assured their
constituents were for it; but that
their instructions having been drawn
near a twelve-month before, when
reconciliation was still the general
object, they were enjoined by them
to do nothing which should impede
that object. They, therefore, thought
themselves not justifiable in voting on
either side, and asked leave to with
draw from the question; which was
given them. The committee rose and
reported their resolution to the House.
Mr.. Edward Rutledge of South Caro-
lima then requested the determination
might be put off to the next day, as
he believed his colleagues, though
they disapproved of the resolution,
would then join in it for the sake of
unanimity. The ultimate question,
whether the House would agree to
the resolution of the committee, was
accordingly postponed to the next
day, when it was again moved, and
South Carolina concurred In voting
for it. In the mean time, a third
member had come post from the Della

constituents, that the Congress should
declare that these United Colonies
are, and of right ought to be, free
and independent States, that they are
absolved from all allegiance to the
British crown, and that all political
connection between them and the
State Of Great Britain is, and ought
to be, totally dissolved; that meas

They have slept unmolested in this
shaded spot where they were buried
154 years ago by Zachariah Brown
and Thomas Davis.
At Concord the British burned the
courthouse, chopped down the liberty
pole and did some other damage, but
the arms and ammunition they could
not find. with the exception of few
cannon. And the Minute Men were
gathering all around them, at first
from the fields and villages nearby,
then from those little farther off,
then from still greater distances. For
a time they stood on the hill and
watched the troops in the town. while
every minute their number grew.
When there were about 400 of them,
they suddenly charged down on the
North bridge. There were 200 Brit
ish regulars there. Firing and fired
upon, the Americans rushed the
bridge and drove them into the town.
Still the Minute Men were coming.
All morning, while the troops were
busy in the town, the militia tramped
along the roads and trickled from
every farm.
Realizing his danger at last, Colonel
Smith started back to Boston. But
there were militia on both sides of
them, militia behind them, militia
stationed at places which they must
pass on the road, riflemen behind
every bush and stone, sharpshooters
in every tree. The British literally
could do nothing but run, and run
they did, until they met Lord Percy,
with 1900 men and two cannon. just
beyond Lexington, and fell exhausted
in the hollow square which he drew
up to protect them.
An hours rest, and the whole force
was on the way again, but the whole
country was now swarming with
militia, and Percy. too, had to fight
his way. Seven miles from Boston,
fresh force Of militia nearly stopped
him altogether and at sunset he
reached Charlestown and the shelter
of the British fleet, on the dead run,
while 700 more militia were marching
to intercept him.
The British lost 273, the Americans
SO. And the British had discovered
they had stirred up hornets nest.
That was 154 years ago. The mill
tia continued to pour out until, two
days later, General Gage in Boston
found himself besieged by 10000
men. The Revolution had begun.
