he met the cry against the huge appropria-

The following day President Monroe enter
tanned Lafayette at both breakfast and dinner,
and two evenings later honored him with
state dinner at which diplomats, dignitaries
and all members of executive, official and MIL
itary life were present. On Friday the general
went to the Navy Yard where his reception
was reported brilliant and impressive"
Saturday he started toward Mount Vernon,
going in the barouche and crossing the
Potomac over the wooden bridge which M
Ievasseur describes as nearly mile IN
length" At Alexandria Lafayette received
royal welcome and participated in another
municipal dinner. AS they sat at table, Mr.
Adams Secretary of State, informed the guest
of honor and the aSsemblege of the death OF
the King of France, Louis XVIII.
Sunday saw the national guest embarkng
from Alexandria on the steamboat Petersburg
rendered by the Governor of Virginia. On
reaching Mount Vernon, the party transferred
to a barge manned and steered by five barge
captains. The general was accompanied by his
SON George Washington Lafayette and George
Washington Gusts, these two young men being
known as "the children of Mount Vernon"
both having lived there and received the pater-
nal care of George Washington by Mr.. Lewis,
another nephew of the father of his country,
and by Secretary Calhoun.
AS the guns of Fort Washington doomed out

Wharf and Lafayette on top OF the hill

Reaching shore, a carriage waited to bear the
general up the steep incline, while the rest OF
the group silently followed on foot. After
short rest at the house, Washingtons nephews
accompanied Lafayette, his son and the secre-
tary to the tomb, while the rest of the party
remained respectfully within doors
LIE Vasseurs faithfully-kept journal of the
entire American tour has this to say of his
first and only sight of the original burial place
of Washington: The tomb of the ctizen-hero
is scarcely perceived amid the somber expresses
by which it is surrounded. The vault is slightly
elevated and sodded over, the wooden door

neSS?"
From Mount Vernon the French general pro-
ceeded south visiting Yorktown, Williamsburg,
Norfolk, Richmond and spending week with
jefferson at Monticello and four days with eX-
President and Mrs. Madison at Montpelier.
These visits came to an end on November l9,
1924 and Lafayette passed the Winter in WASH
ington, staying at the house where An

period. was in residence with his wife, Rachel

estimated that he spent more than $4,000
of his personal fortune during his connection
with the Army of Independence)
In March, 1925. he left here for a grand
swing around the South and Middle West and
North again, and when he returned, John
Quincy Adams, who had succeeded Monroe, in
sisted that Lafayette spend his last days in
America under the roof of the White House,
and the invitation was accepted.
Time of the departure to France drew near
and the frigate Brandywine, built at the
Washington Navy Yard and which was to bear
him across the sea, was completed At the
mouth of the Potomac the steamboat Mount
Vernon rocked lazily the seventh day OF
September, 1925, as Lafayette and his party
went aboard, after an affecting good-by at
the White House. Twenty miles downstream,
the Brandywine, a sailing vessel so large that
it could not be handled readily in the upper
waters of the Potomac took on board the
famous and revered guest of the Nation his
son and secretary. She made her start under
full sail, traversing the center of a brilliant

this point the chlorine that diSlodgeS the bro
mine.
Then the water, with its bromine all loose
and ready to come out, encounters the counter
current of air. Out comes the bromine, and
away it sails in the air. This carries it through
a long series of soda-ash brine tanks, where it
is recaptured. The bromine is released again
by acidflcation and warming and now con-
densed in its pure state.
Meanwhile, in a separate plant pure alcohol
is being evaporated and passed over very fine
heated porcelain clay known kaolin. This
breaks it up into ethylene gas. and this gas is
mixed with the bromne to form pure ethylene
dibromide. This final product of the treasure
from-sea water factory is packed in steel drums
and loaded into the companys boat for its
short voyage up river to Wilmington and thence
out to the wide worlds highways.
The company's chemists and officers have
made mans first direct profits out of sea water.
They are as yet extracting only one of the
many things it contains; for there are in sea
water, besides bromine, such elements as gold,
silver, copper, nickel cobalt, lead, strontium,
tin, phosphorus and many others, including
even radium.

The machinery is titanic, for it must handle

These suck the water in from an inlet pro-

REAL ESTATE TAX
RELIEF LAW URGED
Maryland Levies Should Be Lin
tied to State Debt Needs,
Boards View.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE. December 15.-The
Real Estate Board will sponsor a meas
ure, either by petition and referendum
or by action of the General Assembly
at its 1885 session, to exempt all real
estate in Maryland from tax levies by
the State except such levies as are
necessary to liquidate the now out
standing State debt.
Commenting on this move c. Philip
Pitt, secretary of the board, said:
Passage of such a measure would
mean that the present ~ cents State
levy would be gradually eliminated and
that other State revenues would have
to be pledged for any future bond
issues.
Another reason for eliminating this
levy is the generally admitted fact that
long experience has proven that 1t is
utterly impossible for the State to levy
q uniform tax on real estate without
gross injustice to the taxpayers in sec
tions where property Is assessed at full
value and more, because 1t is notorious
fact that the assessors in many sec
tions have continued to ignore the law
calling for assessments at fair market
value.
And this lack of uniformity In as
sessments Is not limited to the differ
ence in assessments in the counties
and Baltimore city. In many in
corporated towns and in some counties
assessments have been far above those
in other towns and counties"
