Today in
Washington History
By DONALD A. CRAIG.

September 1, 1S1l.-T { portion of
the Births, feet which is under the COM
mand of Capt. Gordon and which has
been threatening to attack Washington
City since August 20 by X presence in
the Potomac River of the City of Alex
andria has finally dropped down the
river without sttempting to do any
damage.
Apparently the only purpose of the
enemy ships was to obtain necessary
supplies of flour, tobacco, wine and
sugar. AS soon as these were furnished
peacefully by the City of Alexandra
from the warehouses along the water
front Capt. Gordon made ready today
to leave and rejoin the remainder of the
British fleet in Chesapeake Bay.
AS the enemy vessels on the way down
the river passed near various points on
shore they were compelled to submit to
q fusillade from American guns, but so
far as could be determined they were
not damaged, at least not seriously. The
American shore Guns had been hastily
stationed at several strategic points. but
seemed to be i'll prepared to obstruct the
passage of the river effectively.
Washington CITY and the City of
Georgetown continued today to retain
a martial air. A relay of vedettes, or
mounted messengers, is maintained
along the ads between Washington
Baltimore and Richmond to bring to the
War ONCE here the latest news regard
ing the movements of the enemy Mr.
Monroe, who is filling the posts of both
Secretary of State and Secretary of
War; has his Office in his residence, on
the north side of Pennsylvania avenue
between Twentieth and Twenty-first
streets. In the Western Market House.
directly in front of his residence, COM
pany of the mounted vedettes is sta
toned.
The work of repairing the damage
caused by the British torches last month
has already been started, and the Fed
eral Government is functioning here as
usual, notwithstanding the proximity
and continued threatening attitude of
the British.

Neighborhood Paper.
AND THEIR CHILDREN.

One very rainy day our children,
joined by the neighborhood group, in
vaded our kit hen for the purpose Of
making newspaper. Pages of plain
wrapping paper were used, and on this
we're pasted news items cut from the
daily of the day before. Editors and
r orters had been chosen TO. various
fields of work, and each contributed to
his column for current events, society,
athletics, wants and advertising. The
kitchen was very busy place all fore
noon, and the children we're happy in
doing something different and more
than pleased with their production.

of our clothes but they, too, make extra
demands on our time.
The dress shown in the sketch is
trimmed with the newest version Of
the petal collar. The petals are here
made of picot-edged satin. but they may
be made of silk crepe or pique If you
like They are mounted on band of
the satin which is extended to form
the ends, each one of which is finished,
as you see, with a petal similar to
those used on the collar.
To wear with brown dress the collar
might be of eggshell satin. Pure white
is regarded as the smartest compile
ment for white. although one also sees
black combined with collar and cuffs
of pale shades of blue. such as powder
or aqua or with light pink.

By FLORENCE LA GANKE.

Labor day dawned clear and hot.
During the morning the children played
around the yard Nancy packed
lunch and made all preparations for an
automobile picnic later in the day.
AS she and Peter discussed a route
they found that neither one had any
desire to go out on the road on the
holiday.
The roads are jammed, people are in
a picnic mood, they know they won't

Be careful how and when you speak.
But keep your tongue within your cheek.
-Impy the Chipmunk.


Impy, the black Chipmunk, was
happy. Impy was working and that
was why he was happy. Nothing
makes for greater happiness than work.
I know that some of you will have hard
work to believe this. You think that
play makes for happiness. Play does
make for happiness, but not the kind
of happiness that you get from work
well done. Ask Striped Chipmunk if
this isn't so. Ask Impy.
Impy had never done any work be-
fore. He had done nothing but play.
You see, while he was growing up there
was nothing for him to do but to eat,
sleep and play. But, now that he
wanted home of his own, he must
work hard to get it, and he was work.

tedious preparation or tiresome tasks
at the time. She, too, should celebrate
the day under its true significance. The
fact that it is holiday when the man
of the house and those of the family
who are in business will be free, and
that she means to have some sort of
celebration. therefore, should not make
her lose sight of the intention of the
day.
This holiday comes as sort of period
of punctuation to the vacation season.
1t calls for full stop of work, so that
a fresh start can follow after the cessa-
ton. Like all finales it gathers force
from the fact that it marks the finish.
This is one reason why pleasures are
so apt to be crowded and pressed to-
gether in the attempt to accent the
joys of the Summer vacation season.
Unfortunately such pressure falls

out in a shining heap. Most of that
sand had to go out on the surface, you
know. He did find some places where
he could pack sand in around some
stones, and this helped. Yes, sir"
continued Impy, talking to himself for
lack of any one else to talk to, "I want
a good, comfortable bed room, and
want it deep enough in the ground to
be comfortable in the cold Winter I've
heard about. OF course, I have never
known a Winter yet, but from all I've
been told it is we'll to be far enough

So when Impy reached the right
point, or what he thought was the
right point, he began digging a bed

enough to accommodate more than

Significance of Labor's Holiday

they are inclined to be reckless.
Whats the use of getting into the
crowd? Why can't we have a picnic
here at home. We can call some of the
neighbors' children over and let them
eat out of doors. Then we can get
them to bed at reasonable hour and
no one of us will have tangled nerves
and tempers."
That was the plan adopted At noon

period Of years which it spent in the
discard way up in the attic.
You remember this type of lamp,
surely-the base was usually marble,
the shaft bronze and the part which
held the kerosene clear or milk-white
glass. We find modern reproductions Of
these in pewter and jade green glass
and they are quite pretty. Equipped
with polka dot shades decorated with
Cooley print or flower print, they are
just about the quaintest and most
charming little lamps that could be
found for the four-poster or spool-bed
bed room.

IAHNCKE OPPOSES
RETIRING WILLIAMS
Blow to Navy Morale Seen
by Acting Secretary in Plan
Affecting Flyer.

Fearing "a severe blow at Navy
morale" Acting Secretary Ernest Lee
Jahncke Is opposed to the enactment of
legislation now pending before the
House naval committee, designed to
retire Lieut.. Afford j. williams, aerial
speed king, with the rank of captain.
Mr.. Jahncke officially advised Chair
man Britten of the House group
that Sin the opinion of the Navy
Department there is no justiflable war
rant for placing Lieut.. Williams on the
getired list"
measure, introduced by Represent
htive Fitzgerald, Republican, Of Ohio. is
awaiting action by the House commit
tee, while Lieut.. Williams Is looking for
ward to severing his connection with the
Navy on May 8. He took this step by
resignation after he had been ordered
TO sea duty recently.
Report Asked by Britten.
Z item asked the Navy for report
on the measure after a review of VIII
iiams' record, which shows he enlisted
November 10, 1917, and later earned a
commission. Jahncke wrote that a
study of Williams service career showed
that he had specialized In individual
flight and in racing"
HE is unquestionably one of the
larly in acrobatic maneuverS and in
racing in which fields his work along
with that of Lieuts. Rittenhouse, Irvine.
Brow, Cuddihy and others, brought
great credit on the Navy" the letter
said. However, Lieut.. Williams has
had no experience on sea duty or with
crranized combat units either afioat or
ashore, and, consequently, is not pro-
lcient In such essentials Of military
8aviation as tactics with gunnery.
TN May, 1928. Lieut.: Williams en.
ksiiSht, the merit Of which was recog.
pnized by the ward OF q distinguished
6ytng cross.
Other Valued Service.
ssThe Navy Department considers
that Lieut.. williams has rendered con-
spicuous service to the Navy and to
the country, in addition to the knowl-
edge of safety of aviation in the fields
of high-speed flying and in acrobattcs.
In connection with the Fitzgerald
bill the letter said that cit Is deemed
pertinent to point out that in other
fields the knowledge and safety OF avia-
ton have been advanced by notable
achievements," It added that many
naval oficers had contributed to the
DEVELOPMENT of aerial tactics, aerial
runnery. operation of aircraft from
carriers and other ships of the fleet,
aviation engines, particularly the air
cooled motor, and lighter than aircraft.
To single out Williams, it said, while
the other officers are not similarly re-
Warded, would, it is felt, be a severe
blow ct Navy morale"
II williams is to continue in the Navy
ar naval work, it added, he should re-
main on the active list. The letter con-
finued:
'eIf he does not desire to remain IN
che Navy, as Is apparent from his resig-
ration. vet e he desires to remain on
naval work his services may well be
procured as q civilian expert.
