RUSSIAN EXILE
+. STARTS LIFE
HERE ANEW
Gen. LevindoWsky, Now Plain
Mister Works for Ma
tionaI Park Board

Chief of staff of the White
Russian Army, political prisoner
under sentence of death, fugitive,
and an exile.
Such were the roles played dur
ing the wild disorder of the 1917
revolution in Russia by General
Vladimer Levindowsky now an
unaSsuming landscape architect
employed here by the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
Now q u. S. Citizen
It is :. weird tale, stranger than
fiction, painted against the back
ground of Tolstoi's Russia that
could be told by the exiled gen.
eral, now an American citizen
and plain mr." if he chose to
talk.
Born In southern Russia in
1873, Levindowsky was graduated
from the Russian West Point at
Petrograd and won distinction in
the Russo-Japanese War. His rise
was meteoric. A personal friend
of Grand Duke Nicholas, he was
made chief of staff on the Asiatic
front during the world war.
In 1918 the bloody hand of the
Soviet revolution pointed its
finger at him and he was i'm
prisoned at Triflis. His family
was exiled, his lands co1fiscated
and he was sentenced to be shot.
Rescued BY English
But General Levindowsky was
not without friends. He was
spirited from prison by English
officers and secreted on an out.
bound troop train. At the bor
der Soviet guards discovered him
but the automatic of Scottish
officer served as passport over
the frontier.
Turkey, France, then America,
with ready friend and employ
ment as gardener in each
country. He came to Washing
ton in 1925 and obtained employ
ment as a landscape architect.
Living alone with his gardens
and his, books, the former Rus
sian aristocrat maintains a small
home near Falls Church dream
ing of the day when. by prodi.
gious efforts and frugal living, he
can bring to this wonderful
America" his wife and their five
children.

{. PRELATE
Archbishop CurIey Points Out
Local Religious Groups
Require Help

Religious racketeering" has
caused the loss of half a million
dollars to Catholics of this arch
diocese, according to a warning
by the Rt. Rev. Michael j. Curley,
archbishop of Baltimore, pub
lished in the current issue Of the
Baltimore Review, and sent to
the Catholic laity throughout the
archdiocese. ..
Racketeers Jailed
Many fraudulent appeals for
funds have been conducted III
the name of religion, Archbishop
Curley said, and some Of the per-
petrators of the frauds are now
in Jail. =
There is ample need for relief
for local religious institutions,
he said, warning against appeals
from alleged religious groups in
localities so remote that no
checks can be made of their pur-
pose or accomplishments.
His letter to the laity read
During the last quarter Of
q century the Catholic people
of this archdiocese have lost

less than half q million dol

wise response to appeals from
every quarter of the globe, com.

WARNINGS UNHEEDED
"Many Of these appeals are
frauds of the worst kind sent
out by individuals and groups
who may be properly styled
religious racketeers.' Many of
them are of such a nature
that they bring religion into

 Always, when the subject O. Philips living arrangements was introduced Anne felt feloniously guilty because she could not feel guilty at all. Granted that a man did need a real home. So did a woman. She desired that real home more strongly than Phil possibly could desire it. and it was not her fault that she couldn't make it for him. Nor was 1t her fault that Phil had to economiZe because he sent $50 each month to his mother, who lived with his rich sister Elise and Elise's husband in Oakland. The fact that Mir Ainslie (Phil al- ways called Elise's husband "Mr Ainslie'-or, Anne thought was very wealthy was all the more req son that Phil should contribute to Mrs Ecroyd's support. That part never made sense to Anne. though Phil explained it with almost pompous references to pride.

 Time For Sweets.
 Every child should have some suitable sweet food to eat at the proper time. At the end of well b l a anced d meal a reasonab ble amount of something sweet sell dom has disturbing effect and may be served to children with safety. But if sweets are eaten on an empty stomach, there is danger of digestive upsets. Sugar is a valuable fuel food, but it's in- tense flavor and melting quality tend to satisfy the appetite before the needs of the body are taken care of by other foods. To much sugar at any time irritates the fled with the desserts suitable for them.
 Junket is an ideal dessert for small persons. It's simplicity and the small amount of sugar needed to make 1t palatable make 1t quite perfect for small children.
 Fruit gelatines. ices and ice creams can be used for children's desserts. Rich frozen buildings should not be given to small chil- dren. A plain frozen custard made of milk and eggs and junket ice cream are the best types of frozen 'cream" to serve when an iced dessert is wanted. Children should always eat frozen desserts very slowly.
 Fruits cooked for children should be those which take the minimum amount of sugar to make them palatable. Prunes arc mildly acid but need only a little sweetening. It is more desirable to use sugar to bring out the full flavor of other foods than to use 1t in more concentrated form, as in pastries.
 Jelly spread thinly on bread is satisfying and not harmful for small children. However, pre- serves usually are eaten in larger quantities and, with sugar, are too rich for little children.
 Baked fruits such as apples and bananas. slightly sweetened cus- tards, gelatines, hard cookies not too rich or sweet, gingerbread, junket and stewed fruits offer children Q variety of desserts that will not develop appetites for sweets in preference to the staple

There are supposed to be many tricks in cultivating memory, and so there are if we want to call them that.
 Any memory expert will explain that the most important thing of all is to associate the number, the name, the address, or the date with another idea. Association of ideas is the keynote to memory.
 But there are other influences that help the mental function and they should be taken into account.
 open air is one of them, or rather fresh air. I say "open air" because statistics show that chil- dren who study in outdoor schools have remarkable memories. They seldom forget what they learn un- der the sky.
 Interest Means Attention
 Another factor that enters into the retention of knowledge is in- terest. Interest means concentra- tion. of course. We pay close at- tention to anything we like. A game of ball, certain tune, a movie. a garden. We can go home and describe the game, the play, V the tune if we like it.
 That is simple to understand.
 What is more complicated is that memory need not be directly interested in the thing itself. If we wish to remember something and are having a pleasant or thrill the association of pleasant experi- u,iI1 fhty- in minds"
 For instance when I was a little girl l went to dancing school. l was in group of six fairies. My much pink and blue satin ribbon and wand.
 The day the dress came home I the almost terrible joy of that in the kitchen. She was tacking newspaper up on wall behind table. After she had admired paper. "It is the 5th of Decem- ber," she said, "it will soon be Christmas
 A Vivid Recollection
 remember the very pattern on the bright red ingrain carpet in that kitchen, the red, table legs and the red and white checked cover. don't believe would have remembered any of it except for that day. I was very little and we moved out of that house. l remember Sue with her fair skin and jet black hair and kindly eyes. Other maids came and went that have forgotten. I am convinced that I remember Sue because I was fairy in pink and blue and knew looked lovely.
 One time when l was 5 we went away to the mountains. I remem- Der almost every detail of the trip because as we left the house my father gave me 8 birthday present of a pair of little gold bracelets set with pearls and turquoise. There were other trips I have com pletely forgotten. That one is as fresh as yesterday.
 It is worth thinking about. Memory is closely associated with happiness. What an enormous thing that will be some day when we learn to combine interest with school work.

Sue had asked Harry If he had seen the man who called for sally Bradley.
 Harry shook his head. we were all in the recreation room down. stairs. All but a few who wanted to be by themselves. He wouldn't come down. I. don't know who he was. Sally excused herself and left. But what does that have to do with 1t? Of course she might have seen someone"
 ''No, she probably didn't" Sue answered. "But does your gar dener know how the man arrived? !? Walking? Driving?"
 "Is 1t important?" Harry asked. "Your eyes have a scrutinizing glance in them" He laughed. "Pn be building up an alibi next to prove that I didn't take your car"
 "It may be important" Jack came to Sues aid. T think I see where she's going. Do you mind calling the gardener, Harry"
 Nothing I'd like better than to speak "a few words to the gentle man." Harry answered. What do you want to know?"
 How this man arrived at your house." Sue prompted.
 Harry came back from the tele- phone booth in just a minute.
 "In a taxicab but he dis missed it," he went on as though answering Sues last question.
 "Then how did Sally and the man get away from your house? Did they walk?" Jack asked.
 That's what I'd like to know" Harry answered. "The gardener says that everyone who left went in cars. Therefore, they evident ly-"

own use," Jack prompted. And that car was my car, I'm pretty sure, and it was the same car that I saw at the rear of the hotel and if I don't miss my guess the girl who was meeting the man in the car was none other than Sally Bradley. I knew that woman re- minded me of someone. Sally's the gal. Mark my words!"
 They explained the incident more carefully to Harry.
 I'm builling up 8 hypothetical case" Jack said. Whoever the man with Sally was, he must have taken her away in a car. Accord ing to your gardeners story, it had to be somebody else's car. All right. Mine was missing for a while. It was in use during that time. The police can prove it. That's the car that he must have taken. Now the thing to do Is to find out the man who was with Sally"
 That will be hard to do," Sue said slowly. If she wouldn't show him off last night she isn't going to do it today"
 You are probably right" Jack answered. T wish we had had you ask that fellow at your house if any guests drove in very late. Quite a while after Sally left. Do you recall any?"
 Nobody came" Harry rose again. Excuse me and I'll page the trimmer of my rose bushes once more. You want to know if anyone came after Sally left. and parked a car? Is that it?"
 When Harry came back he nod ded his head gravely. You're in the right profession, Jack, And you're a big help, Sue. A car did drive in. Looked just like one that had gone out. Whoever was
