Since the Washington in
vasion of Maryland, Capital So
ciety has taken a keen interest
in the annual pilgrimage Of the
Maryland garden clubs, sched-
uled this year for next week.
Many of the historic old man
Sions included in the itinerary
have been purchased by Wash
ingtonians who have improved
and restored the beauty Of the
famous gardens. Visitors from
half a dozen States are ex-
pected to accept the clubs in
vitation to view such rare gar
den treasures as the lockwood
at Montpelier, the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Breckenridge Long,
near Laurel, or the roses at Sat
terley, the estate of Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert L. Satterlee, over
looking the Patuxent IN st.
MaryS county, where, so history
relates, Long Arm, the notorious
pirate, once interrupted a hunt
breakfast in the late eighteenth
century.
Will Visit Cremona
Cremona, built by Major Will
liam Thomas in 1919, and pur-
chased last year from the last
surviving member of the family
by Major Howard C. Davidson,
u, S, A., cOmmandant of Boil
ing Field, will be one of the
estates visited. Major and Mrs.
Davidson (the latter before her
marriage Miss Mary Patterson
of Dayton), will go to in the
country to greet their guests.
Cremona is famous not only for
it's marvellous floral display but
for the beautiful hanging stair
case, of which there is only one
other in the country and that
in the Jefferson town house in
Richmond.
Prospect Hall, near Fred
erick, is now owned by Mr.. and
Mrs. Joseph H. Hines and will
be one of the high spots of the
pilgrimage. The house was
built by Daniel Dulany shortly
before the Revolution. In 1859,
Immediately after the John
Brown raid, it was garrisoned
to protect it from an uprising
of slaves, and in 1860 it was
the headquarters of Stephen G..
Douglas.
Troops Occupied Place
Confederate troops camped
on its extensive lawns before
the battle of Antietam, and in
1868, General Meade assumed
command Of the Army of the
Potomac beneath the shelter of
one of it's giant oaks. House
and grounds will be opened to
visitors. The hall of the main
building is one of the most
beautiful in the country. Ira
dition tells of one of the roy
steering lords of the manor who
drove a coach and four through
the wide front doorway to halt
the equipage in the hall.

STRONG PROTEST | FROM HOPEVILLE
Mother Claims New School Lines in That District an
 Injustice to Children
DISTANCE TOO FAR

A delegation of thirty-five or forty men and women were in at tendance at the board of education meeting yesterday afternoon from the Hopeville district to protest the contemplated change in school dis trict lines which would send 59 pupils to the Mulcahy school. The universal complaint was that the dis tance was too far and unless the lines were arranged as they have been or bus is provided, the chil- dren would be kept at home when the fall semester opens. The rules committee was given the problem for investigation and report.
 Mrs John Reynolds acted as Spokesman and read petition sign ed by all the women in the district which has been changed. She read the allegations which stated that un- der the new order, the children would be forced to walk as much as half an hour before they arrived in school and that the little tots would find this hardship especially in the winter through the snow.
 In Hopeville, they are allowed to carry their lunches, have place to eat them and a. supervisor to watch over them. There are eight streets put into the new lineup, and on
 motion of Commissioner Henry But
 l. lr, it was voted to refer the matter to the rules committee for investiga-
 ton and report.
