facture and sale OF liquor o Is or
soon will be legal. The state laws I'M
der which 1t can be sold vary from
those providing wide open saloons
In Nevada to a strict system OF dis.
pensing hard liquor In Montana only
through state-owned stores, u IN
every county. Most widely enacted OF
the laws Is one providing for serving
OF hard liquor only with meals.
Governmental agencies In Washing
ton were swamped with preparatory
measures to deal with the Importation
of foreign liquors, many huge cargoes
of which were waiting for entry ana
with the federal restrictions neces-
sary to protect the states that remain
dry. Joseph FL. Choate, Jr.. or New
York, son of the famous lawyer and
statesman, had been appointed direc-
tor of the federal alcohol control adj
minIstration, and he arrived In the
capital to take up his duties. MIR.
Choate halted the issuance OF import
permits until q few hours before re-
peal became an accomplished fact, and
In the meantime officials checked the
financial standing of importers and
worked out quotas for foreign u
tries.
Tt was understood that between four
and five million gallons OF foreign
spirits and wines would be allowed
entry during December and January,
and that, If the demand were greater
than the supply, the quantity might
be increased In order to discourage
b~ootlegging. The government sought
to prevent q flood Of foreign liquor
from swapping the American market
to the detriment of domestic pr0dnc-
ers.
Codes for the distillers and import
ers already were In effect, and those
for the brewers, the rectifers n
blenders and the wine growers were
being completed. When congress meets
In January one of the first matters to
be taken up will be legislation to In
crease the taxes on liquor and for
permanent control Of the traffic. To
draw up such legislation the house
ways and means committee and the
senate finance committee were called
to meet in joint sessions beginning
December IL.

reproduction Of the old mill, correct in
every detail, has been erected by the Vir-
einla State Conservation Commission ON the
old foundations with stones taken from the
same quarry as were those used in building
the original mill. A. C. Boney, who is In
charge Of the work. possesses a wealth of in
formation about its history.
The grist mill can be reached by driving
from Washington to the end of the new Mount
Vernon Boulevard along the Potomac River.
The old cart road leading from the West en-
trance OF Mount Vernon (used in washington's
time as the principal entrance) to the grist
mill can still be seen soon after crossing Little
Hunting Greek and passing the mansion. A
new paved road Is now open from Mount
Vernon to the Richmond road, a stone bridge
spanning Dogue Creek. Two miles from Mount
Vernon on this road and near the Nellie Gus
tbs House. Washington's old mill rises anew
on its original site on Dogue Run Between
Mount Vernon and the grist mill are the re-
mains of Washingtons blacksmth's shop, brick
kiln and octagon barn. The stone foundations
OF the miller's frame cottage stand on a rise
near the mill and may be restored later on.
A dam was built about mile up Dogue Run
by Washington, water being conducted to the
mill-site through canal It seems almost
incredible, viewing the narrow stream and its
diminished water-f1ow, that ocean-going yes
sells could ever have loaded their cargoes of
-four on the dock opposite the mill.
The original mill was built for washington's
father Augustine and was operated by George
Washington for nearly fifty years.
Near the old mill was the distillery where
Washington manufactured his alcoholic prod
ucts: his favorite concotion was a mixture Of
corn, molasses and persimmons which he made
in Autumn when the persimmons were ripe
During the Civil War the grist mill was de-
stroyed neighboring farmers carting away
stones from the ruins for their own use For
tunately, stones from the same quarry were
found later, thrown into dock In Alexandria
which was the property of Henry Ford, who
donated the stones for the reconstruction.
While excavating the foundations, part of
the old wooden mill-wheel and shaft was found
from which the dimensions could be measured
The mill was rebuilt from detailed descrip-
tions found in Washington's diary and other
papers, and from woodcut in the possession
of Charles Callahan, historian, of Alexandria

in summer, when accessories

they ruin your whole costume.

Knows Now She Wasn't Worth
Loving
Dear Miss Fairfax:
had to leave college in my
junior year on account Of the
hard times. I believe I fell in
love a little harder because I
had nothing else to offer my
girl. Her father was one of
the "profs," and she promised
lifelong devotion.
1 left college to look for a
job, and in spite of hunger and
terrible hardships I was happy,
thinking of her. Through an
old friend I got work at last
to be a night Watchman and
sweep out the store in the morn
ing-but it seemed like Heaven
to me just to get in out of the
cold at night.
I went to see my girl and
found her with the rottenest boy
in the entire university. They
laughed at my appearance. At
first I couldn't understand, as
I told of all I'd been through,
but they seemed to think cold.
hunger and suffering were just
funny. Later she told me they
were engaged. I don't know
how I got back to town.
I still sweep out the store
and am thankful that escaped
that brutal woman. Hunger,
flop joints. freezing in delivery
trucks at night, waiting in the
bread line-all of it is better
than life with anyone so heart
less. And my experiences have
taught me sympathy and to
consider the under dog. I know
how he feels. Some time hope
to do a big job of helping.
r. F.. M.
When you see so clearly
what you've escaped, there's
nothing to do but congratulate
you, and to wish other young
friends had the same clear
vision in regard to loves not
worth while. You've survived
terrible experiences, and that
will always give you a deeper
knowledge of life, humanity,
and the world, than if you had
been able to remain in college.
And here's luck to you with
that big job.

Mans Love and WOman's Differ

Mans Love and Woman's Differ
When a man falls in love
there Is more of the element
of selfishnesS in it than there
is in a similar experience for
a woman. And this holds true
even if his love affair is a
highly idealized and roman
ticized one.
What man experiences when
he falls in love is a conquest.
a material pleasure, a sort OF
sensual enjoyment. Woman,
on the other hand, finds in
love an opportunity for the eX-
ercise Of duty, devotion, Sacri-
flee and even f-effactment.
When a man makes the OBJ,
ject of his desires his own,
his ego mounts markedly. In
fact his achievement may so
unsettle him as to make him
rather a disagreeable fellow.
He gloats over his victory;
he has no sympathy WhatSo-
ever for worsted rivals. And
the more popular the lady Of
his choice has been-even If
actually notorious-and the
more noise there is made of
his success, the prouder does
he feel.
This explains why men often
marry women whose morals are
not above question. Indeed,
they often seem to get a spe-
cial thrill in giving their
names to women who have
been divorced several times,
even to those who have ap-
peared in newspapers linked
with a prominent scandal.
A woman is proud, too, when
a man leads her to the altar.
This pride, however, is mott
waited by reasons different from
the masculine. She glories,
for example, in the ability of
having at last found a single
love object to which she can
cling; also that she has out
rivaled other women. But soon
after marriage every woman
tends quickly to submerge her
personality for the good of her
husband and children, thus
forcing her own personal ego
to take a back seat.
In the love game the man
always wants to be thought
the master. When a woman
flatters him he believes it
at least he tries hard to be-
lieve it. He also likes to teach
her things she does not know,
or pretends she doesn't. He
enjoys taking her to places
where she has never been. Par
ticularly does he like to intro
duce her to new vices which
he wants to think she only
shares with him.
During the preliminary love
bouts women, of course. try to
make themselves as alluring
and as irresistible as possible.
In order to accomplish this
they willingly make believe"
now posing as an old-fash-
ioned mid-Victorian, now as a
"vamp" and according to the
best traditions of the movies.
Such versatility should not ex-
actly be called deceit. 1t mere
ly signifies kind of humility
that will go far in order to be
liked and accepted.

Bidding went: South, 1-No
Trumpss West, Double; East, 2
Spades; West, 3-Hearts, and the
bidding died.
The opening lead was the 4 of
clubs. Dummy played low.
South split his equals, by put
ting up the @. The declarer's
Ace won. His strategy was per-
feet. He led a low heart, and
put dummy's @. The K won the
trick. AS West planned the
play, nothing could have pre-
vented him from making game.
South is in. What shall he
lead? He has four possible leads
open. He led his good K Of
clubs, then he led his last club,
giving the declarer trick in
that suit. Dummy discarded a
low spade. A spade was led.
Dummy was in. The j and 10
of diamonds were led. South
refused to cover. A low heart
was led. South won with his
Ace, but he could not possibly
win another trick. East and
West had gone game-one trick
more than they bid.
Instead of taking his good
club when in, South had a
choice of three other leads.
Suppose he had led trumps.
The declarer would have lost
one trump trick, just as he did
anyway, and the j of hearts
would have won the second
trick. A spade would then
have enabled dummy to enter
and lead diamonds through
South, yielding 4-odd, just as
actual play did.
If South had led a diamond
he would have made things
easier for the declarer. Dummy
would have won the trick and
led a trump through the de-
clarer. giving him his Ace Of
hearts.
When South was in with his
K of hearts he might have led
a spade, to prevent West from
doing that later. To go game
dummy could have taken two
leads Of diamonds, and then
