FINE PROGRAM
PRESENTED FOR
MOTHERS CLUB

Harding School Mothers club en-
joyed an exceptionally interesting
program at the meeting held yes
terday afternoon at the school.
Child Discipline" was the theme
of the talk by Mrs. y. B. Roberts
III which she emphasized that disci
pline includes much more than just
punishment for the infraction of
rules. 1t means, she declared, the
teaching of self-control, honesty, re-
spect for others property rights,
good manners, in fact all those
things which go to make up good
citizen. An undisciplined person is
a bad citizen, she said.
IN endeavoring to discipline child
rem, parents should observe the same
principles of absolute honesty, when
dealing with children, of respecting
their property rights and of &C
cording to the youngsters the same
courtesy that the parents demand
from the children.
Mrs. r. M. Armstrong; class gave
a splendid program in which they
sang a group of songs, and recited
verses in chorus, some of the verses
being written by the youngsters.
The class was divided into three
sections, one for the low voices, one
for the medium and one for those
of higher pitch. In the recitative
work shading and meaning Were
secured through the use of the var
ious voice groups The poems were
also interesting, some of the child
rem emphasizing the subject mat
ter, and others being more concern
ed with the rhythm than the sub
ject matter.
Christmas carols and songs were
delightfully."- presented by THE
Three of U.s." Miss Mary Baker,
Miss Edith Eicke and Miss Laura

Washington Memorial Park
Becoming Place of Beauty

In the vicinity Of Washington,
and in Maryland and Virginia, are
many old estates which form a
link between the past and the
present. Any man of Importance
considered it only proper and in
keeping with his dignity to own
hundreds of acres of land where
he was monarch of all he sur
veyed.
OF course the only means of
transportation in those early days
was the good old horse and buggy,
but the tempo of life itself was
slow. There was no need to rush.
Progress was still afoot, and not
on wings, as it is in our day.
Riggs Road Estate
A typical example of such a
liege lord was Hugh Mccullough,
who had the honor of serving
three presidents as secretary of
the treasury. Mr.. Mccullough
served under Lincoln, johnson
and Arthur, and owned a vast
The Washington times., 1933-05-20

estate later named Holly Hills
Farm.
At present, a portion of this
land is located on Riggs Road, in
Prince Georges county, BerWyn
election district No. 81, and bor-
ders the Montgomery county line
1t lies slightly northeast of Ia
koma Park, Silver Spring, and
northeast Washington. and today
in the age of automobiles and fine
roads, is only Is minutes from the
heart Of Washington.
Gentle Progress
No more beautiful spot could
be imagined, for nature has made
haste slowly in changing this
landscape from yesterday to to-
day; even now, relics of Indian
occupation remain. One may walk
over the estate at random and
find curious relics, such as flints
and arrowheads in various shapes
and sizes. Progress however. has
invaded this part of Maryland,
but with gentle hand.
The Washington times., 1933-05-20

Project. The new material is
electrically deposited copper. 1t
is paper-thin, tough and elastic,
with textured surface that
forms a tight and permanent
bond with asphalt and other
mastics. The copper comes in
rolls like building paper and is
laid in asphalt on top of the
stone sills, with the inner edge
of the copper bent down over
the edge of the wall to form a
flashing from which the termites
can only escape by crawling back
down the wall. The wood joists
which support the floor are then
laid on the copper, protected as
long as the house stands against
both dampness and the hungry
termite.
This Anaconda sheet copper,
which is made by an interesting
adaptation of the electro-plating
process, is also used in these new
homes for Government workers
as exterior and interior damp
proofing for basement walls,
floors and wall coverings.
Invitations have been extended
to architects, builders and con-
tractors to inspect this impor-
tant new development in home
building, and a special invita-
ton has been rushed by air mail
to the mayor of New York, sug
gesting that he personally in

Federal Workers. Homes
To Be Termite Proof

Effective and permanent solu
ton of the termite problem, now
troubling New Workers, is being
demonstrated in the sample
homes now under construction in
the Potomac Hills south of Alex.
andre by the Federal Employe
Housing Project.
Termites, familiar pests from
Washington southwark, and their
destructiveness, we're brought to
the attention of the nation at
large recently by Arthur Brisbane
in his To-day" column. Mr.. Bris.
bane said:
Notwithstanding termites, in
correctly called "ants," have made
their appearance in New York,
cause of worry for the big city.
"Termites. usually active only In
warm climates, destroy wood, Dor,
ing from within. cause houses to
collapse, wreck pillng. They travel
underground unseen. The mayor
of New York, if interested. can
get unlimited information about
these strange little enemies by Wis
iting one of the scientific depart
mentS of the University of Califor-
MIA at Berkeley, across the bay
from San Francisco.
There he will find learned men
with regiments of termites in all
stages of experimentation.
'The mayor will be especially
interested to know that the ter.
mite itself cannot digest wood,
but he has his stomach lined
with other, still smaller living
creatures that digest the wood
for him after he chews and
swallows it. They produce a by
product on which the termite
lives.
Animal life is complicated
when one creature carries inside
of it scores of parasites, micro
scopic in size, through which
digestion is carried on"
The answer to the termite prob
lem is found in a new product
developed by the Anaconda Cop
per Company, and employed for
the first time in the homes of
the Federal Employees Housing

EXPERT DETAILS
ICE: BOX COSTS

Why is it more expensive to
operate a cheap refrigerator than
a good one? That is a question
that buyers of electric refrigera-
tors will want to have answered.
A light, inexpensive car will
use less gasoline than big, costly
car, but the small, cheap refrig-
orator may use more current than
larger one of better quality.
The reason for these facts are
given by Louis Ruthenburg, con-
sultant for the refrigeration diVi.
sion of the National Electrical
Manufacturers Association.
Other things being equal, a
refrigerator which has the great
est amount of wall area in pro
portion to the food space Will
use the greatest amount OF cur
rent. AS the size of the cablnet
decreases, the proportion OF wall
area to food space increases.

YEAR-OLD BAY
COMMUNITY
POPULAR
Many Washingtonians Build
ing Summer Homes at New
Maryland Resort

Having established one of the
finest summer home com:nunl-
ties on Chesapeake Bay within
the space of one short year, the
management of Long Beach an
nounce the opening of this beau
tlful bay shore community with
a vast number of improvements
and innovations. This opening
will take place today and toner
row, and hundreds of Washing
tonianS are expected to take ad-
vantage of the fine weather and
delightful drive to inspect the
new and greater Long Beach with
Its miles of new drives winding
among stately trees, it's immense
white, sandy salt water bathing
beach which is over 1000 feet in
length, and the many new cot
tageS which have been erected
during the past several months.
Covers Many Acres
Long Beach properties cover
hundreds of acres and the con-
tour of the ground is unusually
interesting, rolling up Gently
from the bay, which is over eight
miles wide at this point and
dotted with white sailing ships.
The bay in front of Long Beach
Is a famous fishing ground with
tons of fish being taken from
these waters every season
Every effort is being made by
the management to develop Long
Beach as an exclusive an6 home
like waterfront community where
Washington families may conf
IDENTIFY bring their child:cn to
bathe and play in the sand in an
atmosphere of quiet and refine
ment. It is a family community,
not a public resort, and there is
no safer bathing beach for chill
dren along the Atlantic seaboard.
A large force of men have been
working for many weeks landscap-
ing the waterfront and cleaning
up the wooded slopes. Miles Of new
roads have been cut through the
wooded hillsides. An attractive
rustic fence has been constructed
across the parking space along
the waterfront, where paintings
of climbing roses will drape the
fence with festoons of crimson
fragrance this coming June.
New Bath House
Plans are under way for the
construction of an artistic bath
house, work on which has just
been started. Many attractive cot
tages have been built and many
more are now under construction.
Mr.. Bert Olmsted. of the Ohm
sted Grill, is building an artistic
cottage directly on the waterfront.
Many other Washingtonians are
planning on building this spring
and sites of every kind and de-
Scription are available at this
opening at most attractive prices
and agreeable terms.
The drive to Long Beach is a
most enjoyable one, though a
most beautiful countryside fresh
with the fragrance of flowers and
blossoms. The motor route, which
measures 48 miles, is out Pennsyl-
vania Ave. S. E. to the Marlboro
Pike and on through Marlboro to
Highway 416 through Prince
Frederick direct to the entrance
TO the property.
