The residents of this out-of-t the

original "first families" )" whose his
tories date back to the early colon
ial days.
Lived in Old Way
They have had very few con-
facts with the outside world, but
have lived according to customs
and traditions which have been
handed down from generation to
generation.
The descendants Of the original
settlers Of the mountain district
have intermarried with little If
any regard for the Mendelian law
Of heredity.
This custom and the lack Of con-
tact with the outside world has
resulted in a type of citizens
which, although living within 100
miles of the National Capital,
have had no part in the stirring
events which have been allimpor-
tant in national history.
Corbin Hollow is located about
20 miles from Sperryville and is

The expedition yesterday was
made in four automobiles carrying

the six miles from their settlement
to Nether's Store, where the gifts
were distributed.

100 Per Cent Agree ment Becomes Ac- compished Fact With Great Britain, Japan and U. s. Delegations to Farley in England.
and Italian Diffi- culties Stumbling Block to Five Power Plan Two Remaining Nations EitEer Make Concessions or Fail to Join.

London. March 15 tP-A 100 per cent agreement among the United States, Great Britain and Japan was said in naval conference circles today to be an accomplished fact as far as the delegations are concerned.
 Approval by the home govern mcnts of the American-Japanese settlement which climaxed yesterday was said to be the only thing re- maining 10 enable these three dele cations to write finish to their naval conference difficulties.
 Long Near Agreement
 For days these delegations have been 50 close to agreement that there was said to have been little between them. A provisional Amer lcan Japanese agreement, achieved by Senator Reed and Ambassador Matsudaira. is understood to have been the one thing needed to com pleto the circle.
 Observers said that what thi; amounted to was that if this agree. ment is approved by the home gov ernmcnts, the United States, Great Britain and Japan will be in a po- sitiOn to sign Q thrce- power pact al any minute if this should seem de- sirablc.
 There remains the crisis surround ing France and Italy and the next move would seem to be up to these two.
 The conference today was more or less marking time awaiting the arrival of Premier Tardieu from Paris for conference with Prime Minister Macdonald tomorrow. Upon this important conversation may de- rcnd the outcome of the naval con- ference as far as tive-power pact for limitation is concerned.
 Two Leaders Rest
 Both Secretary Stimson and Prime Minister Macdonald were resting today after their weeks ar duous labors in trying to solve the crisis evolving about the French de- mands for q 724,00o ton navy.
 Secretary Stimson was at his country home in Stanmore and the British prime minister was at Che qucrs, although he planned to at tend a football game between Eng land and Scotland at London this afternoon.
 The report of the American Japanese settlement produced some- thing of sensation here when 1t became known. Just what this settlement is no one in authority was prepared to state at this junc- ture. Report had it that compro- fisc had been effected along the lines that Japan would consent to reduction in her claim for 70 per cent ratio of S-inch cruisers and would receive in exchange a higher percentage of destroyers and sub marines than she had expected. But 1t should be emphasized that this report was unofficial and should be taken at it's face value.
