other across the historic Potomac, but no one
alive today seems to be able to clear up the
mystery of Mary Randolph'S grave. Who
was she? The War Department wants to know,
because Arlington has become national shrine,
second only to that first shrine farther down
the Potomac at Mount Vernon, where lies all
that was mortal of him who is now immortal,
and no item of information touching the past
glories and history of Arlington House estate
is to be ignored in the progress of the restora-

1t is thought that there must surely be some
person, somewhere in the South, who can solve
the mystery, but how to find that person Is
the question that vexes. Southern families Of
famous names, historians, authors of wen
known books, the Association for the Preserva-

searched, as well as the records Of the register
of Wills but all in vain. Just who was Mary

/ the top of that watch tower he will
suddenly boot. All the little people
of the Green Forest and the Green
Meadows know that sound. Even
though they do their best to keep from
it, they are very likely to shiver and
shake-at least a little. 1t is a fierce
sound, a hungry sound. The instant
he has hooted, Hooty listens. His ears
are very wonderful. They are not those
two tufts of feathers standing above
his head which look like ears and are
called ears. His ears are on the sides
of his head and the opening to each ear
is very, very large. You do not see
those ears. for they are covered with
skin and feathers.
So wonderful are those ears that
Hooty can hear the faintest rustic of
dead leaf even at a distance or the
faintest scratch of toenail. So when
he boots he listens for some slight
sound made by some little furred or
feathered person who has been startled
by his voice. The instant he h2ars a
rustic or the sound of claw he glides
forward on those great wings of his,
which carry him without any sound at
all. They carry him surprisingly fast,
too. He flies low and in a second from
the time he has left his watch tower
he is right over the spot from which
came that faint sound. 1t is then that
he makes full use of those wonderful
eyes of his.
Hooty's eyes we're made for seeing
when there is very little light As long
as there is wee bit of light Hooty can
see, and he can see surprisingly well,
so If there is the least movement by the
one he is hunting he is sure to see it.
Then those great claws Of his strike
and Hooty has his dinner. This is the
way that Hooty hunts. Mostly he hunts
for mice, but almost anything that is
small enough for him to kill is worth
catching from Hooty's point of view.
Now, hunting had been very, very
poor for some time. Hooty had begun
to think that he and Mrs. Hooty must
have caught all the mice of the Green
Forest. It certainly seemed to him that
it was a long time since he had had
enough to eat at one time So now,
as he sat on the top of his watch tower
and hooted, he listened with more than
usual care. He had no intention of
missing any chance that might offer to
catch something to eat. .-

not so good now. 1t was not so easy

had to. Every night, just after jolly,

the building. A five-story brick
building in the rear of the mill was
damaged to some extent, but was
not destroyed.
several box cars Of the Baltimore

damaged by the fire, and the build

YEGCMEN BURN
CASH IN SAFE

NEW MARKET. Md, Oct. 1s.-
More than $4,000 In currency and
bonds was burned when yeggmen
unsuccessfully tried to open the safe
in the bank of the Eastern Shore
Trust Company here early yesterday.
The safe resisted the acetylene
torch used by the yeggmen, but the
heat made ashes of more than half
OF 100000 in bills and securities in
the safe.
An hour after discovery Of the at
tempt. Charles Webster, president of
the bank, died at his home. He had
been Ill for week following a heart
attack. The news of the attempted
burglary was withheld from him. He
was So.
The yeggmen' apparently worked
all night. They had moved the safs
weighing ton and a half from the
banking room tn the front of the
building to the directors room in the
rear.
When S. ]. Smith, vice president
of the bank, arrived at the building,
parts Of the safe still were glowing
with heat where the torch had been
used.
Police deduced that the yeggmen
had given up the job only when the
approach of daylight forced them to
flee.
Bank officials said all contents Of
the safe were damaged, but they
hoped that nearly half could be re.

The loss, they said, is covered by

N DONALD GETS
DAY Of REST
By International

OTTAWA. Ont, Oct. IS Q.N.S).-
Premier Ramsay Macdonald today
was to have one of the most restfui
interludes of his visit to this side
OF the Atlantic. He was to have
luncheon at the Ottawa Country
Club. tea with the American min.
lister William B. Phillips, and Mrs.
Phillips, and dinner with Lord vii.

and Lady Wilmington, with nothing
but restful seclusion between meals.
Ishbel Macdonald was to accom-.
pany her father both at tea and
dinner, but was to be the guest OF
honor at luncheon at the Chelsea
Club.
Following his conference with
Mackenzie King, Canadian premier,
at the latters residence in the
Gatineau Hills, Macdonald was be-
sieged by reporters who asked him
to clear UP the speculation arising
from reports that he had discussed
with President Hoover the POSSIBLE
ity Of dismantling British fortifica-
tions at Halifax.
FOOLS step IN where angels Tear
to tread" was his noncommittal
answer.
Speaking at a dinner rendered in
his honor by Premier King, he an.
nounced that after returning to
London he intended holding frank,
informal conversations similar to
those he had with President Hoover,
with France, Italy and Japan in
order to insure the success Of the
five-power naval parley.

The case came to the superin.
tendent's attention when It was
learned that Mary NJ. Jones. Alder.
marie school pupil last year, was
not at classes this year. Investiga-
ton showed that she had married
Nathaniel P. Harlow, a. merchant,
in June. At this time her age was
given as IS and the groom's as IS.
He has been three times a widower
and has six other children, three
being in school and his girl-wife
caring for the others at home.
Bennett readily agreed that there
had been violation of the school
law, but was puzzled over who was
the guilty party. the girl. her hus-
band or her father. all being culpa-
Bile and guilty according to which
way the statute was interpreted.
The case came to an anti-climax
when the 65-year-old groom came to
the superintendent and said he
would observe the law regardless of
results to himself, and said he would
send his wife to school,
However, Superintendent Bennett
decided the girlwife's place was in
