Washington:5 ':Forgotten Aoes"

INLAND from the new boulevards course
] across the old River Farm may be found
traces of the bitches which formed the bound
aries between the estates of George Washing
ton and that other patriarch of Colonial days.
George Mason To the left, between the new
road and the river, likewise, may be seen the
rather faint remnants Of the Kings Highway,
construction Of which marked advance Of civil
ization up the Potomac.
Ability of these inanimate things to show
themselves fifteen or twenty decades after they
reached their peaks of usefulness has its basis
in the unusual type of earth in the vicinity.
A spadeful of it, turned up on the surface,
may be easily discerned many years after its
disturbance.
Because of this ability of the soil to ''hold
itself together" many objects of stone and
metal used by the Indians and by the hired
hands of George Washington are found with
regularity in places where they long since were
lost or discarded.
Arrow heads, javelin points, fragments of
pottery, and other relics of the days when abb
origines lived in the area which later became
Washington's River, Farm are particularly nu-
merous in the Soil on which the old Indian
town of Asasomeck once stood.

Honey Sales Direct

NNE business which has reached to hxge
extent q sales system direct from producer
to consumer is the honey business. During the
war, when sugar was scarce there grew up such
a demand for honey that much Of it was sold
wholesale in 60-pound cans The end Of the
war saw a gradual drift away from wholesale
dealings, however. and beekeepers, faced With
declining prices. turned toward direct sales to
consumers In this way taste for the product
Of particular hives became established, and the
beekeepers are now selling their harvest at sat-
isfactory prices. Through the development of .
taste for granulated honey. beekeepers hope
they may be able to overcome much Of the
prejudice against the sticky nature Of honey
and bring about further stimulation of its use.

There is brass plate on one beautiful old
table giving its history. 1t relates that on
this table George and Martha Washington ate
their bridal supper in the White House"

Immediately adjacent to its banks, however, was
covered by q dense growth Of forest in the
generals time, with tan trees making the
region a realm Of shadows. The section was q
favored resort of wild fowl, ducks, geese. and
swans, which gathered there in large numbers.
Gen. Washington and many visitors at Mount
Vernon thus were afforded ample opportunities
to indulge themselves in the sport of bringing
down feathered targets. In those days, the
banks of Little Hunting Greek were as zeal
ously guarded against encroachments of poach
ers as any game reservation in old England.
And the same protection against intruding
g,mners was maintained over the wild game
which roved through the wooded portions OF
the inland sections of the vast estates.

ington. The small crest on the lower face of
the silver urn, that more commonly used
by the washington family, bears this fact out.
When it is recalled that the crest and arms
of the United States were designed after those
of the Washington family, the similarity be-
tween the full eagles the tray and urn and
the crest of the United States will be noted
as further proof In carving the crests on the
urn and tray, no doubt the artist took certain
liberties to arrive at his conception Of the best
composition. This is another contribution to
this collection by Mrs Lee Also. another in
teresting one is the knife box that came from
Mount Vernon and is in perfect condition.
Knife boxes were considered necessity in
Colonial days.
One more beautiful piece Of silver in this
collection is a repousse silver urn, with the
Washington crest on it. This piece at
Mount Vernon and, like q number of the
others. found its way to Arlington having been
inherited by Mary Randolph Gusts only child
of George Washington Parke Gusts, owner and
builder of Arlington and q grandson Of Martha
Washington Gen. Lee married Mary Randolph
Gusts.
Many priceless articles from Mount Vernon
were given by Mrs Washington to her favorite
grandson, and in that way were inherited by
the Lee family. These treasures. now belonging
to Mrs. Robert E. Lee, are safely locked in the
vault of a security storage
The Society of the Cincinnati was organized
In 1888, at the end of the Revolution, and was
composed entirely Of officers who had served at
least three years in the Continental line. They
all contributed months pay the object being
to help the officers and families of members.
George Washington was the first president Of
the society. When he became the President of
the United States the Society of the Cincin
natl presented him with q set of Lowestofdt
china, which had q blue border and the in
sigma of the Cincinnati in the center. Two
plates belonging to this set are now in the
possession of Mrs Lee. The rare plates were
reproduced last Summer and sent over to the
Paris exposition, to be placed in the replica Of
Mount Vernon.

The impression is that Houdon made three
casts from life one of each side face and per-
haps one full face. This particular cast has
never been out OF the Washington and Lee
families. After the Civil War it was taken to
Lexington, Va, with other treasures, and later
loaned, along with portraits Of value. to Wash
ngton and Lee University by George Washing
ton Parke Custis Lee, who was the eldest son
Of Gen. Robert E. Lee. This plaque IS now
in the possession of MRS. Robert z. Lee, who
gives an extract from q letter from Paul PEN
lex, registrar of the university, in which he
says: Regarding the washington plaque. this
was described in the list of pictures We have
in the library. as follows: L. 28-George WASH

f1dence.
His report estimated the total
number of unemployed in August at
11,5O0,000, an increase of 100000 over
July. The increase, he said, was
due to layoffs on farms and in small
industries.
OF the railway workmen to be re-
employed, about 10000 were re-
ported by eastern lines, $500 by
middlewestern lines, and 1,500 in the
far west.
The principal increases in railway
traffic were in grain, coal and cotton
shipments.
