of getting kicked down the stairs
into the dugout.
In the summer of 1880, he went
to Europe again, going as far east
as Budapest. He went to Madrid
where he took a summer course
at the university there.
That was the time he became
what he calls an "aficionado," or
to us, a "bullfght fan"
Last year, he took graduate
work at the School of Foreign
Service, Georgetown university, in
Washington. He took business
and international law, taking
three seminars under DR.. James
Brown Scott, president of the

tiOnal law.

FREDDIE MATSON, immacu-

His blue-gray eyes are con-

He talks French and Spanish,
and has a smattering of Ger

He likes books-especially BIZ
ographies; the stage and he loves
movies.
He hates blatant jazz music
and loves tangoS he brought
several records with him from
Spain-and they're so scratched
he can hardly understand them
now, but he still plays them.
And his ambition is to be a
foreign correspondent for an

FREDDIE MATSON is the son

prominent Indianapolis attorney,
and the G. and the E. is the only

and when the others asked the young man how

OBSERVANCE OF LENT

The Lenten season, which is observed
by the Roman and Greek Catholic
churches, as well as in some degree by the
Church of England, the Protestant Epis-
copal church in America and others, began
on Ash Wednesday, February IA, and will
continue until Easter Sunday, April 1, a
period of forty days, not counting Sum
days.
In the early years of che Christian era
the fast of Lent was observed for varying
periods, by some only one or two days and
by others for longer time, according to
the writings of Irenaeus, Greek Bishop of
Lyons, in the second century.
Pope Leo l, in the fourth century,
recommended the fast Of forty days as hav-
ing apostolic authority. This period was
taken to commemorate the forty days fast
of Moses, of Elijah, and especially that Of
Christ.
Theoretically at least, the faithful
abstain from food on fast days until eve
ming, worldly amusements and secular cele-
brations are to be avoided and marriages
are held to be undesirable during Lent
The duty of fasting is modified with
respect to aboring people, children, and
women under certain conditions, but in
creased diligence in works of charity is en-
joined upon all, as well as extraordinary
attention to all religious observances,
throughout this period.

WESTINGHOUSE BIRTHPLACE

Although considerable attention was
given to George Washington's birthplace
during the celebration of the 200th ami
versary of his birth, in 1892, it is likely
that if asked to name it the average Amer
lean would say Mount Vernon.
Our first president was born, how
ever, at Wakefield, on Pope's Creek, some
so miles below Mount Vernon, and the
mansion in which he was born stood until
it was burned on Christmas Eve, in 1880.
Washington moved to Mount Vernon,
then called Hunting Creek, when he was
about three years old. The original man.
sion at Mount Vernon burned in 1879, and
the present one was erected shortly there
after.
His birthplace, Wakefield, has long
been marked by granite shaft, erected by
Congress, and tract of 365. acres, of
which John d. Rockefeller, Jr., donated
254 acres, has been set apart by the gov
eminent as the George Washington Birth
place National Monument.
A new brick replica Of the original
mansion, one story with an attic, and with
two outside brick chimneys at either end,
was dedicated on Washington's Birthday
1882, with appropriate ceremonies.
