Washington, July IT - (UP)- An era long since ended in the Capital lost its lone representative here when Mary Foote Henderson died.
 She was better known as Mrs John B. Henderson. Her husband, long dead, was famous, too, but his memory is but faint shadow In the picture of the Civil War per- iod. His wife survived him to be- come q social force. Mary Foote Henderson battled joyfully against those customs which displeased her, such as smoking, drinking by either sex and the wearing of short skirts.
 Mrs Henderson played the game of politics shrewdly and often won. She dealt in real estate wisely and maintained her wealth. She made of 16th street an avenue of diplo- mats. building pretentious homes for the envoys and persuading them subsequently to purchase or rent her property.
 Into a few blocks on that thor oughfare which stretches from the White House out into the hills of Maryland, Mrs Henderson beck oned baSsadorS ana ministers ] until when she died there were more diplomatic missions in q short distance there than are en- closed in the famous legation quarter of Picking.
 In the last year of her life Mrs Henderson still battled. She sought to give to the government a magnificent home for vice-pres- idents. Mrs Beatrice Henderson Wholean, supposedly a grand daughter, appealed to the courts asserting the aging lady in the sand stone 18th street castle, was incompetent.
 Mrs Henderson struck back. There were no tears. To court she went with all her victorian dignity and through counsel informed the world that Beatrice Henderson

 Mary Foote Henderson was born in New England, daughter of q judge, niece of United States senator who participated in the blazing debates prior to and dur ing the Civil War.

In particular, Mrs Henderson summed "The mon- strosities and caprices of fashion in feminine attire." No maid servant in the Henderson castle could wear what her mistress was pleased to consider "scant or in. decent clothes.

Scrimmage and more scrinmage
and above it all the coaches
cry for drive and still more
driye-this is the order Of the
week on v. p. rs football fields.
Orville Neal and Lyal Clark,
the Gobbler coaches, are ON the
warpath. That 6-to-6 tie with
William and Mary, which v. r.
]. favored to win, Is Q thing un-
forgivable In the sight Of the
Poly mentors. They are not
merely chagrined and diSap-
pointed-they are mad.
Aside from william and
Mary's one scoring play when
Paleae passed to Halligan for Q
touchdown as the whistle
sounded for the half, the Cob
blerS tossed Indian ball tOters
for almost as much lost yard
age as they gained. b
But this, too, is forgotten-all
Is forgotten except that the Tech
men failed to play together and
% give everything they had for
the full go minutes. It is some
thing out Of keeping with the
traditions Of v. P. ]. football.
SO drastic action Is the order
Of the day. Seldom has q v. p.
