something was wrong at Mrs. Bells
Hurrying over, she learned that Mrs

a wall while playing on the Naval Hos

died at the hospital last night.
Shades were drawn at the two houses
today and children playing on the
sidewalk tiptoed by them. In a dark
ened living room Mrs. Flanagan was
doing what she could for the bereaved
Bell family.

all of whom followed the sea, and five became
masters before they were of age. The family
was allied by marriage to the Derbys. and the
eccentric George Crowninshield in 1916 had the
money to build pleasure yacht, called Cleo
patras Barge and costing half as much as the
great Derby mansion. 1t was built by Retire
Becket-a nice name, that-and was perhaps
the first palatial private yacht in America.
After the death of its owner it was sold to the

Museum, and one of his finest houses. Oak Hill,

McIntire ceased building in 1910, but his son
and other workers carried on his tradition for
another 10 or a dozen years. Most Of Chestnut
street was built after McIntire's retirement, but

MCINTYRE was a master in adapting the
A'A classic orders to exterior embellishments
especially porches and the carved wooden fence
posts surmounted by carved wooden urns which
so often stood in front. But he was equally
master in what were often daring but invariably
successful adaptations Of the classic orders and
the designs of the brothers Adam to interior
trim In all such houses, Of course, the fireplace
was the focal point in every room, as 1t Is still
in many dwellings. McIntire was nowhere quite
so happy as in his mantels and overmantels,
built for the most part out of clear white pine,
painted white and nodded and futed with ex-
quiSite art to enrich and accentuate design.
Often he carved little panels and lunettes in
relief to embelliSh further these mantelS
There was no such thing in those days as
machne-run trim, nor even universal" mold
ing planes. Molding was gotten out by hand
with individual planes, often designed and
ground by the carpenter himself and pushed
along the pine board with only the thumb to
guide the plane. One of the great beauties
of McIntires work and of that by other Salem
carpenters is the beautiful precision of it with
out reaching the point of machine accuracy.
Among those for whom McIntire built houses
was Benjamin Crowninshield. This house stall

House There were six Crovninshield brothers,

EOR three years, from 1916 to 1849, Haw-

kept him busy in 1900 but in 1916 was not so
arduolIS but he could find time to write novel

was anybody in Salem who considered this book

After 1.-THE Scarlet Letter." three-quarters

Salem has been a conspicuous contributor to
the vitality of American life Forces beyond
her control have taken away her prosperity
as a port, and with that has gone the colorful
initiative which once made her a leader in
laying the foundations of American commerce,
American fortunes and American architecture.
Today she has certain industries and, curiouSly
enough they are among the leaders in indus
trial experiment-but the town is neither an
active seaport nor hive of industry, nor any
longer a leader in the arts. 1t is lovely relic.
1t has a color of its own-Quaker gray and
green. Perhaps that was not the original
color but for a long time now it has been
a custom Of Salem 10 paint the houses, even
those of brick, Quaker gray, with green shut
tiers and white trim.
Under the green of the elm-shaded streets,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-06-08

the gray houses touched with white and
green, are aloof, quiet, sedate. They &c I'M
touched by the great FIRE Of 1914, which swept
away so much Of the modern town
behind them. They have been untouched by
the hand of progress for century, keeping
their severity Of outline ard perfection of de-
tail, and keeping their treasures of mahogany
and china and figured wallpapers. There is
for example q house in Salem which possesses
two complete LoweStOft dinner sets, each Cd
more than zoo pieces.
But past these houses, on the ancient streets,
no longer pass staggering sailors ashore, and
Yankee teamSters come for loads Of goods TO
haul inland and queer folk with monkeys and
parrots to sell, and great merchants with the
pride of ownership, extending doubtless TO their
womenfolk, stif with the silks just come from
India. And behind these houses, when they
are near the water, no longer do terraced gar
dens go down to the docks, while up to the
very hollyhocks swings a battered schooner,
and out amid the marigolds is dumped ker
cargo from the Seven Seas.
To see these things In S1lem town you viii
have to shut your eyes and summon ghosts.
You will have to possess the imagination OF
Hawthorne himself. But the material relics
these things left behind the houses, the archi-
tectural taste, are Stin there, to a greater ex-
tent than anywhere else, and brought to Q
inner perfection. They are what, today, Salem
has to be proud Of and they worth a
visit by every American who owes 50 much
today to what Salem was more than hundred
years ago.

street-and a beautiful periodic be found on
this side of the Atlantic. 1t is half mile Of
elm-Shaded perfection and is worth trip across
the continent to see.
The reason it not ruined, much else
in America was by new building and recon-
Struction after the degradation of taste, was not
alone the conservatism of its houSeholders; 1t
was even more because of the commercial de-
cline of the city Salem was badly situated to
be the port of the expanding Nation and with
the coming of steam railways, by which the
greater ports of Boston, and especially New
York, could feed the country her doom was
sealed She had had her hour she had seized
it nobly and Powered in a comely commercial
civilization, and now all that remained for her
to sleep.
But not quite all. In 1904 a boy was born
to her from a long line of Puritan elders and
shippers and sailors. His name was Nathaniel
Hawthorne. He didn't think much of the
Salem he knew. Strangely for a man Of such
delicate taste he considered the beautiful houses
with which the town studded plain and
drab and uninteresting But his imagination
played around the forgotten Puritan days of
the town, about the grim phenomenon of WITCH
craft, about the dark secret places of the human
spirit now overlaid by easy living.

White Bread Is Wholesome

a GROUP Of five experts in dietetics has
decided that while investigators have long
advocated the use of whole-wheat bread, white
bread is a wholesome food.
The views of this group, headed by DR.. A. F..
Woods, director of scientific work of the De-
partment of Agriculture, are expressed in .
statement based on the scientific facts regard
ing breads made Of white -four and of whole
wheat -four:
White and whole-wheat breads are both
wholesome foods They among the most
important and cheapest sources of energy and
protein in the diet. The composition and value
in the diet of Whole-wheat and white bread
vary, not only with the differences in the -four
used but also with the amount and character Of
other added constituents.
''Whole-wheat or graham flour, which con-
tain the bran and germ portion of the grain,
have lower bread making capacity and more
susceptible OF Spo1lage, so cannot be handled as
readily commercially In general they contain
more essential minerals and vitamns and more
roughage than white flour.

should be chosen in relation to the other con-
stituents of the diet. Bread, either white or
whole-wheat, is always an economical source of

the remainder Of the diet is so constituted as
