George Washington.
Part I-Boyhood Stories.


THIS month people all over the
United States will celebrate the
birthday of George Washing
| i ton; and there will be special
reason because his birthday will
mark the passing OF just 200 years
since he was born.
| Readers have asked me to write
something about Washington, and
am going to do SO almost week in
advance of his birthday, SO that school
pupils may be able to use the stories
as topics.
The most famous story Of Washing
ton as a boy Is about cherry tree
which Cif we could believe the story
he cut down with little hatchet Sad
to say, that tale seems to be one with
out any truth. A minister named
Weems is believed to have made it up
after Washington was dead.
Another famous story is about Wash
ington planning to go to sea at the
age Of IA. We are told that he had
already sent his baggage aboard ship
when his mother told him that he
must not leave her.
| That may really have happened We
do not have full proof, but We do have
record Of a letter from Joseph Ball,
the boys uncle. Writing the letter from
London, England, to his sister, Mary,
the uncle said, in part:
| II understand you are advised and
have some thoughts Of putting your
son George to sea. I think he had
better be put apprentice to tinker-a
common sailor has by no means the
common liberty of subject-they will
press him from ship to ship and cut
and slash and use him like a dog"
George was the NTH child in fam
ily of 10. He had three half-brothers
and one half-siSter, all older than him
self, and five younger brothers and
sisters.
When George was II years old. his
father died. Later the boy spent much
of his time at the home of his half

Mid.Victorian Fashion Needs

Helen and Morris were house-hunt-

tainty Of Morris Job they decided to
take q furnished house or apartment
for the Winter, waiting the decision OF

The two had great fun looking for a
home. They saw dingy brown rooms

years ago. One or two modern places
appealed somewhat. And then they
saw rooms which had been done over
recently in the Victorian fashion
but with a rare discrimination.
Helen was reminded of something she
had read recently. The author was
making the distinction between fashion
and good style. Fashion is the thing Of
the moment. Good style is always good
even when 1t is not in fashion.
A home done today in the style Of the
Victorian era may use the tides and
antimacassars of the earlier period but
It uses them with a difference. The
flower prints of those days are still

op-heavineSS of industry as ex- pressed in large combinations ot capital in manufacturing which have caused them to collapse, too much sudden prosperity which sent the people buying beyond their means, and a general alienation of the masses from the soil to flock into the great cities, is the cause of present conditions in the United States as they effect the nation individually.
 This is the opinion of Captain Carl Kircheiss, late officer in the German Imperial Navy, and now touring the world in the interest of science.
 science. Captain Kircheiss, who was the navigating officer on the famous German sea raider 'Seead- ler,' in command of Count von Luckner, the Sea Devil" left Sew ard for Seattle on the SS Yukon.
 Speaking of the world in it's en- tirety," said Captain Kircheiss, ''there can be no revival until Ger many is allowed to restore herself economically. It is questionable, if given the fullest opportunity, that this can be accomplished without a strong governing hand employed by men detached from money making and the many influences which defeat republican govern ment. This is why the advance of Hitlerism is the best thing that could happen to Germany in a po- litical sense, unless it was the iron hand of kaiserism.
 "The principle trouble with Ger many after the war was that she fell into the hands of the Socialists, who filled the offices with illiterate, incompetent men, all bent upon growing rich off the government. Big industries were able to combine and eliminate small ones, then the man who hitherto had been giving all of his energies to his small bus mess, became an employee. He kept one eye on the clock and his work was listless and disintereSted. This required more executives, which drew heavily upon the capital ac- count.
 Then came the economic col lapse. All nations were affected thereby. The overhead costs of these big institutions caused them to topple. Now industry must lan- guish until the small manufacturer and dealer, taking advantage of the collapse of big business, emerge able to continue.
 "The Hitler party, just coming into power, is representative of the highest ideals of the German peo-

have accomplished this" Asked as to the outlook from a purely detached viewpoint, Captain Kircheiss said he believed it would require several years for the United States to weather the present de- preSSion.
 First the people must get back to fundamentals. They may be ex- pressed thus: First, love, which means the home and children; then the production of foodstuffs with which to feed them. Without employment and money with which to buy, the people must produce their own foodStuffs, and this can be done by returning to the land and practicing frugalitieS. Since the same disintegrating effect on big industry in the United States as has effected Germany is in evil dence, the small business will be the first to revive, as it appears to be doing.
 With respect to Alaska, she na- turally feels the effect in the de- pression of the fish market, and fur. But she is fortunate in having gold. Speaking of gold, whenever a German citizen applies to the consulate at San Francisco for help, he assists them in securing little food, a gold pan, and few tools and sends them to the hills.

transportation and subsistence
for veterans who desire to re-

The money will be advanced to
the veterans by the administrator

advances for gasoline and motor
oil. Veterans also will be
allowed rs cents per day for
subsistence while en- route.
Tomorrow was originally fixed
as the time limit for the expendi-

secure transportation it was
deemed advisable to extend the
limit to July 25.
Advances will be deducted
