The Mitchells have made
their home at 'Boxwood" for
the past 10 years. 1t is a de-
ightful old place, long and COM
fortably spread out, and made
of that substantial looking gray
country Stone." Of which so
many of the really old houses in
Virginia and Maryland are con-
Structed. It is a typical Vir-
ginia house, sitting well back
from the highway and at the
center Of the wide curving drive
which is bordered with graceful
elmS.
Original Land Grant
"Boxwood" was for many
years the home Of the swart
family, who had received the
original land grant from the
King of England. 1t remained
in that family until the Civil
War, when it fell into the hands
of a Northerner, whom the
neighboring people Immediately
called yankee" Smith.
Little Master Billy Mitchell
and Lucy have inherited their
parents love for horses, and
even at their few years have
their own mounts that they ride
with the ease of much older and
more experienced horSemen.
Mrs. Mitchell is another Of
those daring persons who
chooses the side saddle, and
adds quite a bit Of dash and
thrill to the hunts or shows she
enters.
Mrs. c. Baldwin Spilman has
with her in her Warrenton home
Mr.. and Mrs. Bates Compton, Of
New York. Mrs. Spilman will be
hostess at a luncheon Friday at
the Warrenton Country Club in
honor of her visitors. Her guests,
who will number between so
and so will include her neigh
bors and their show-going visi-
tors. Mrs. Spilman's Son-in-law
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs.
Richard Barrett, are also keenly
interested and taking an active
part in the many gay affairs.
Their daughter, Miss Anne Bar
rett, who was a debutante last
year, will be missed at all of
the happenings this year, until
Christmas holidays bring her
back to Washington from Bos-
ton, where she is taking a course
at the Wheelock School.
Ball at Country Club
Saturday evening, to climax
the two days of exciting good
times, there will be the ball at
the country club. That is in
deed a sight! Preceding it there
are many dinner parties, at
which the game seems to be for
each guest to bring a guest.
Finally when they all do get to
the ball there is scarcely any
room for dancing. However, that
is not noticed as nearly everyone
wanderS around, gree citing
friends, stopping here and there
to chat about the points of some
winning horse, or the coming
big football game, or the fate Of
the nations. This continues for
hours, then as the darkness of
night slowly fades into the gray
Of dawn, streams of cars start
homeward.

Citizens Protest

The complaint was forwarded to
Cecil E. Newman, editor of the Min
neapolis Spokesman, and he i'm
mediately began an investigation
Of the affair.
The investigation revealed that
Nels Swanson, white, pilot of the
plane, issued orders that tickets
should not be sold to colored peo-
pie. A call at his office revealed
him to be in Duluth. A following
call to department store owner,
who owns considerable stock in the
air concern, brought prompt ac-
ton.
Wednesday Mr.. Newman was in
formed that any discriminatory
practices that had been in vogue
We're without approval of the COM
pany officers, and that Swanson
had been reprimanded for his ac-
tions.
In the future colored patrons
who want to go up in the Freeman
plane will be accorded the same
courtesies all others receive.

Race Typist Won
Second Place I'm
National Meet
Runnerup Used Woodstock
Machine

Two months ago the National
Typewriter Speed Championship
matches were held in Chicago, Ill.
Winner of second place was Cor
tez Peters, Washington d. c., race
man who typed 125 words per
minute.
Except for his failure to wear
a shade to keep perspiration from
running into his eyes he would
have easily won first place. When
the contest began the rooms win
dows were opened and Peters felt
that it was not necessary to wear
the appliance. Later, as the con-
test progressed, someone closed
the windows, Peters began to be
bothered by the heat. Stopping
to wipe the Precipitation from his
eyes cost him the championship.
The typewriter which he used
was the newest model Woodstock
typewriter, a machine which is
used in many of the largest offices
in the business world. The Mime
apolis Woodstock store is located
at ZIG South Fourth street. Spe-
cial attention is paid this time of
the year to needs of students in
school.
Guaranteed rebuilt machines of
Woodstock and other makes are
sold by this firm. The typewriters
used by the Minneapolis Spokes-
man and the st. Paul Recorder are
Woodstock machines.

band. The Aragon always draws
a large crowd of Twin City people

Boston. May 31. (UP)-The par ents of Abe Faber. Massachusetts Institute of Technology honor graduate facing death in the elec- tric chair with the Mil1en brothers, were to plead with Governor Cur ley to-day for communication of their sons sentence ta life imprison- ment.
 Another respite for Faber and Murton and Irving Millen, convict ed of the machnie-gun staying of a Needham patrolman during a s15,000 bank raid February 2, 1884, appeared probably unless the U. S. Supreme courts acts on their final appeal before Monday noon.
 Only MT and Mrs Philip Faber' were to be present at the inter- view granted by the governor. Faber's confession of their bandit reign of terror led to capture of the Millens in a New York hotel.
