Today in
Washington History

March Is, 1856-William Doueherty,
until recently the superintendent in
charge of the work on the Washington
Monument, issued q spicy statement
today, playing his respects in anything
but mild language to those who a short
time ago took possession of the affairs
Of the Washington Monument Society.
I'm the National Intelligencer of the
LIST instant" says Mr.. Dougherty, ais
published the report of the Know Moth
ing board OF managers of the Washing
ton National Monument for the past
year, in which, after acknowledging the
complete failure on their part to carry
on the work, they endeavor to shield
themSelvse by patching UP q tissue of
falsehoodS from beginning to end, and
whiningly complain that the unfortu-
nate publication (aS they term it, by the
board was believed by their own party in
preference to their statement, and caused
the subscriptions that had been made to
their councils to be withheld.
After lamenting over the unhappy
differences of opinion between them
selves and the old board as to the le-
gality OF their election, they state they
have been unable to discover what
agents are at work, or have been au-
thorized to collect funds. For this as
sertion they have no excuse whatever.
1ney knew Wnen tney uttered 1t that 1t
was untrue. The record of every person
who had ever been appointed to collect
funds together with the bonds of his
securities, are now, and have been, In
their possession since the time they
fraudulently obtained control of the
work. -
Further, they state that they found
the tools and machinery In an imperfect
state and material on hand insufficient
even for two courses of marble and that
the blue stone was insufficient in GUAM
tity and defective In quality.
AT the time they obtained control of
the Monument the machinery and tools
were in perfect order and in condition
for use at any moment, with the excep-
ton of q line of shafting used for driv-
ing the saws, which was loaned by the
old board to the Mechanics Institute"
Mr.. Dougherty denies various other
allegations and adds:
IF, as they assert, they took up some
Of the blue rock in the interior on ac-
count Of the work being defective, am
quite sure they made it worse instead
Of better. The masonry in the Monu-
ment Is universally admitted to be the
best piece of work of its kind in the
United States"

Beaten by Cromwell at Worcester,
Charles II fed to the woods of Boscobel,
where Lord Derby babe him seek the
five Peverell brothers-William, Hum
frey, Richard, John and George. These
humble yeomen, said Derby, would pro-
tect him and help him to escape to
safety.
The Peverells cropped Charles black
love-lockS short and dressed him in a
leathern doublet, a threadbare, green
jerkin, capacious. gray breeches and a
steeple-crowned hat. Thus attired, his
majesty seemed only simple wood
man. After several days of hiding, he
set out with Richard Peverell, hoping to
make his way to the WEIGH coast, where
a ship might be found that would carry
him to France.
There is a Mr.. Wolfe at Madelay,"
said Richard, who may help you. He
is a Catholic, and he has a number of
places for concealing the poor, hunted
priests"
Lead me there" said the King.
They set off at in the evening.
Between IL and o'clock they came to
Evelyn, where the road passed over a
bridge hard by the village mill.
Richard heard voices. He leaned close

Nov it CHANGED that the miller of
Evelyn was himself a Stuart sympa-
thizer Indeed, at that very moment his
mill was filled with refugee followers Of
Charles II. But how were Charles and
Richard Peverell to know this? And
how was the miller, who heard them
passing, and came to the door, to
guess that one of these humble fellows
was his King?
AS he stood in the door, his white

clothes illumined by light at his back,
the miller shouted: who goes there?"
"Neighbors,'' replied Richard Peverell.
IF you be neighbors," said the miller.
"stop-or else will knock you down.. -
This fellow is no friend of ours"
Richard muttered to Charles. Better
we had run for it..
They dashed up hill. the miller
shouting: "Roguesl Request" In the
were chasing them. They ran and ran
useleSsly, for no one followed.
Toward daybreak they reached Made
lay. Mr.. Wolfe told Charles 1t was USE
less to go further. To reach the Welsh
coast he must cross the River Severn.
Its banks were heavily patrolled.
Charles and Peverell hid in Mr. Wolfe's
hayloft all day. That night they re-
traced their steps to the Boscobel
at Evelyn, they left the road, lest they
should encounter the miller.
I'VE must go upstream and cross
without bridge" said the King.
=" 'Tis scurvy river" replied Richard,
land cannot SWIM"
Charles undertook to convoy his COM
panion. Before daybreak they were
once more back in Boscobel woods and
Charles was puzzling out q new way to
get to France.
Meantime, at Evelyn, the miller
heartily congratulated himself that he
had driven away all suspicious char
acters., He did not know that in rout-
ing the two providers in the night he
had thwarted the escape of his King.
Had Charles been reunited with the
fugutives in the mill, there were many
there who would have been able, easily,
to smuggle him to safety. As it was, he
had many hairbreadth escapes before he
finally got out Of England.

along the inside of each toe are lobes,

Now the wings of Dipper the Grebe

to get up in the air-that is, he has to

course, he cannot rise from the land.
You see, he cannot run with those little

plane. You know, the fastest air
planes have narrow wings and have to
get going very fast indeed on the
ground before they can rise. 1t is just
so with Dipper the Grebe.
The approach of Spring had made
Dipper impatient to get going so one
day he took it into his head to fly
North. He was heading for the Big
River where it flows near Farmer
Browns. To reach it from the place
where he had started he must fly a
very long distance. Now he thought
there would be one or two ponds of
open water that he could drop down
into for rest IL he felt tired. He was
mistaken. 1t happened that the ice had
not yet left those ponds. BY the time

very tired. However, there was nothing
to do but to keep on.
With every swift stroke of those
wings Dipper felt more and more tired.
He began to worry. Would he be able
to reach the Big River before his wings
gave out? If he didn't reach 1T, what
would become of him? Anxiously he
strained his eyes for a glimpse of the
Big River. At last he saw it. It was
just a silver line far away in the dis
lance, but he knew what it was. The
sight of it gave him new courage.
Dipper is not one to give up easily.
His wings ached so that it seemed as
If he could not take another stroke
with them. Still he kept on Now he
could see the Big River clearly. With
every stroke of his wings it drew nearer.
At last he had reached the edge of the
Green Meadows. If he could just get
across the Green Meadows it would be
enough. But he couldn't. His wings
refused to beat any longer. Down,
down, down he came and landed with
q thump on the Green Meadows. And
never In all his life had Dipper felt
quite so helpless as he felt then.

A Sermon for Today
BIZ REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Ideal Statesman.


"Thou shalt provide out of all the
people able men, such as fear God;
men of truth, hating covetousness; and
place such over them. "-Ex., xviii.21.
The text is part of the sagacious adj
vice Jethro, the father-in-law Of Moses,
gave him about the sort of men he
should select to be his lieutenants In
governing the children of Israel. NO
where in all historic literature do we
find a loftier conception of statesman
ship Jethro'S idea for the rulers OF
these ancient wanderers in the wilder
ness is the ideal of what Is needed Tor
modern statesmen. -.
This ideal calls, first, for liable men,"
or, as the original has it, men Of
strength" The statesman must be a
man of ability, a man intellectually
qualified for leadership and to grapple
with the problems of state. He must
be a man of strong personality, able to
command the respect and confidence
of his constituents.
such rs fear God"-here is indi-
Gated the next qualification. Whatever
natural endowment the statesman has,
it must be heightened, deepened, en-
larged and purified by q deep and
vital religious conviction. Without re-
ligion governments cannot endure. A
Goddess leadership, therefore, Is O most
perilous thing for a nation.
Men of truth"-that tells of still
another need for men who direct the
affairs of a nation. He who would
guide a nation must seek to know the
truth of things, and, knowing the truth,
must render thereto the utmost allegi-
ance. True craftsmanship requires fidel-

Hating covetousness," or, as 1t might
be termed unjust gain"-this is the
final requirement Jethro's ideal calls
for.

Your Baby and Mine
BIZ MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

It is taken for granted that baby
must have his daily outing. The con-
scientious mother accepts this burden,
even If it necessitates pushing a heavy
carriage up one cold street and down
another.
But there are more pleasant and just
as efficacious ways of giving baby his
airing without putting this rather I'M
pleasant burden on the shoulders of an
overworked mother. When there is an
+, outside porch. the outing solves itself;
for baby may be bundled up. a hot
water bag tucked into the bottom OF
the cab to keep his toes warm, the top
of the carriage adjusted so that no
stray breezes disturb his slumber, and
there he can stay for the length Of his
nap period morning or afternoon.
Any mother who has ever tried this
from the time baby is young is willing
TO swear that on day when she feels
compelled to keep baby indoors he
sleeps but half as long, and on the
porch he sleeps like log, despite the
clatter and rattle of traffic.
Barring a porch, the outdoor nap
may be managed in this way: Dress
his cab, and wheel him into one Of the
bed rooms Close the door, open all
the windows to the top so that there
will be q free circulation of air, and let
him take his nap there.
OF course, you are impatient to ask
how cold it must be before such out
door airings are inadviSable. and, being
conservative, we'll say the temperature
had better not be much below zero. 1t

lures to which the baby Is accustomed.
Having once lived in a climate that ran
TO 20 degrees below zero without being
noticeably cold, I am inclined to say
that if baby Is used to 10-degree- below
zero climate all through the Winter he
can 60 out in it for short periods with
out the least danger. There is always
the possibility that a nose may freeze,
so mother had best keep her eye on
her offspring.
We must keep him warm, of course,
and protected from being rained or
showed upon or in the direct current of
bitter winds, but such protection Is
easy to achieve when baby is sleeping,
and he is none the worse for his eX-
poSure to the elements. So much of
the Winter weather is far from ideal
that If we are continually waiting for
bright, clear, sunny days, poor baby

With the baby Of weeks one can
begin with a 15-minute airing in the
warmest portion of the day, usually
Just about noon. Increase this each
day until he can stay out for the dura-
ton Of his nap. 1t is the child kept

and appetiteless in the Winter. Every
one needs and must have good oxygen
for the blood to carry to every part of
the body. and it can't be obtained in

BEAUTY CHATS

There are a lot of freak diets that

1t does not really matter which one OF
them you choose If you are In Ordinary
good health. From time to time give
these popular diets-recently, for in
stance, we had the 18-day Hollywood
diet. But in the end come back to
the calorie system of dieting as being
the most satisfactory, for you can then
eat the foods you like best and the foods
that agree with you best, so long as you
do not eat more than certain calor1c
amount.
on the whole, a woman who either
has O. sedentary occupation, such as
Stenography, or who makes little phys1-
cal effort, needs between 1000 and 1900
calories. Women who stand or walk a
good deal or do general housework need
$500 to $500. Women who do very
hard work, continued Scrubbing, gar
dening and so on, from $500 to $500.
On this amount of food the proper
weight is maintained, unless there is
bad action of the thyroid gland, in
which case q doctor has TO be consulted.
Five hundred calories amount to
about two ounces Of fat. If you cut out
500 calories from your diet every day
you wouldn't notice 1t much, and by re-
ducing two ounces a day you would
lose nearly so pounds by the end of
the year. You must, Of course, have a
list of caloric values.
Or you can do it this way: One lump
of sugar is 25 calories Most people
drink at least four cups of tea or coffee
a day, so by eliminating sugar 100 cal
cries is taken off. One slice of bread is
100 calories. Suppose you ate no bread
you would eliminate at least 800 calorieS
that way, because you must eat at least
one slice of bread per meal. Half an
ounce Of butter is 100 calorieS. The
average serving of butter comes TO a
bit more than 100. If you eliminated
butter on your bread and ate 1t dry you
would save about 400 calories a day.
