THE ENID
Gold Is of Many Colors;
Aluminium Allows Useless

Pure gold shows two cOlOrs. One
is the familiar glittering yellow shade
reflected from its surface. The other
is that shown by light which passes
through thin sheets OF the metal. Gold
is perhaps the most malleable of met
ais and can be hammered into sheets
so thin as to be translucent to strong
light. When such sheets are held up
10 light the color that reaches the eye
is bright green.
The colored Colds used by the jewel
ers are alloys. They are not as bright
ly colored as their names might indi-
cate, but, with the exception of white
gold, are merely shades of the golden
yellow. Green gold is produced by
mixing the pure metal with silver and
sometimes a little cardmium. The ad-
dition of a little copper to green gold
converts it into white gold. Red gold,
as might be expected, is an alloy of
gold and copper. Blue gold Is formed
by alloying the precious metal with
iron.
In addition to these there is series
of gold-aluminum alloys which covers
practically the whole spectrum, includ-
ing a most gorgeous shade of purple.
Unfortunately, these aluminium alloys
are quite useless, being toe brittle to
be worked into any useful shape

Who Are You?
g
The Romance of
Your Name
By
RUBY HASKINS ELLIS
A De Wolf?

THIS Is a very ancient and aristo-
l. cratic family, having its beginning
in Flanders.
The legend of the name and its
origin Is that one Louis de Saint
Etienne, representative of a noble
French family, was an attendant OF
King Charles V on a hunting expedi-
ton. During the chase a wolf cub
crossed the kings path. The king
threw his lance at the animal mortality
wounding it, whereupon the mother
wolf rushed TO the defense Of her
offspring. Charles, having only his
hunting knife to rely upon, would have
suffered serious injury or death had
not Louis de Etienne saved the day
with his foresight and bravery.
AS a reward, the king knighted De
Etienne and he was called De LOup
from that time. However, his grand
son, the Baron Emile de Loup, who at
at a later time became the favOrite at
the Saxon court, changed the name
from the French to the German, and
thus the name became De Wolf. The
wolves heads on the arms shown
bear testimony to the tradition Of the

They had him back at Mans in an

At first, he thought he was alone in

First BuriaIs

After the first battle of Bull Run,
McDowelPs army entrenched itself
on Arlington Heights; the mansion
was occupied by officers, soldiers
were encamped on its grounds and
two strong forts were built there
for the defense of Washington. Aft
er the battles of the Wilderness,
Quartermaster Gen. NJ. c. Meigs or
dered burial at Arlington for all
soldiers dying in the military hospi-
tails in and around Washington. The
official records of such burials be-
gin with May 13, 1864, so Arlington
has been a burial place of soldier
dead for nearly three-Quarters Of a
century. When the bodies of the
unknown soldier dead. buried be-
tween the Potomac and the Kappa
hammock. were reinterred in Airing
ton it brought the total of Civil
war burials there to 10000.
As for the process by which Ar
lngton became a national cemetery,
it came about in this way: In 1862.
by act of congress, a property tax
was levied in all the states for the
conduct of the war. This tax totaled
S92 for the Arlington property, and,
since it was unpaid, the property
was ordered sold on January IL,
1864. The government was empow-
cred to bid the property in and to
use it for educational and military
purposes. The price paid was $780,
800.
In 1877 George Washington Gusts
Lee brought suit in circuit court
for the ejectment Of persons living
on the estate. The federal govern
ment had rented out parcels of land
to small farmers, while on one cor
ner Of the property a village of
nearly 1000 persons had grown up.
Lee won his case in the lower court,
and in 1882 the Supreme court up
held the verdict. The government
then had made itself a party to the
suit, and following the handing

tanned are shown by the steady increase
of the herd, at the rate of about per
cent annually. 1t numbers upward OF
100000 individuals, as compared with
about 10000 in 1910. The prohibition
of the killing of seals on the high seas
by international agreement, has, OF
course, materially contributed 20 this
increase.

corps of the United States army.
His name was Robert Edward Lee
and through that marriage the name
of another famous Virginia family
became linked with Arlington.
The approaching storm of civil
war greatly troubled the mind of the
master of Arlington but he did not
live TO see it break. He died on Oc-
tober 10, 1857.
Gusts had bequeathed the Airing
ton House estate of 800 acres to
his daughter and at her death to
her eldest son, George Washington
Gusts Lee. Colonel Lee obtained
leave from the army to go to Airing
ton to settle the Gusts estate and
during his brief stay there brought
order out of the chaotic conditions
into which it had fallen in the last
days Of Custis' life.
1t was at Arlington that Lee
made his momentous decision TO

go with his state when it left the
Union, although it meant the sacri-
fee of everything which he held
dear. On April %, 1861, Colonel and
Mrs. Lee left Arlington for Rich
mond, where he Immediately en-
tered the military service, first Of
Virginia and later of the Confed-
eracy. From the date of their de-
parture Arlington was occupied only

he was continually under her guild
ance and influence or under the in
struction of his famous adopted ia
Their.
Perhaps no other American boy
ever had better advantages offered
him than young Gusts had in his
day. AS a child he met all of the
great men who had taken part in the
American Revolution, and when
Washington became President he
was taken with him to live in New
York and later to Philadelphia. In
both places he frequently came in
contact with the builders of the re-
public, as well as the most cultured
and retired element with which the
first President continually surround
ed himself.
He was educated along the most
practical lines in the best schools
of his day, forming the foundation
for his subsequent taste for art and
literature, and equipping him as
well for the speakers platform,
which he delighted in filling in aft
er years.
Following the death of his grand
mother, he made his home for two
years with his sister. who had mar
ried Maj. Lawrence Lewis. In 1902,
in anticipation of his own marriage
to Mary Lee Fftzhugh he began
building Arlington mansion, or Lee
mansion, as it later was called. To
this house, designed after the Tenn
pie Of Theseus in Athens, Greece,
he brought his sixteen-year-old bride
in 1904 and for the next half century
the "Sage Of Arlington" as he be-
came known, was a leading figure
in the life of the national capital.
There were few men of note whom
he did not know and few men who
did not know him. He was popular
with the people of Washington for
whose entertainment he generously
threw the grounds of his estate
open. They were glad to take advan-
tage of his hospitality even though
he was regarded as something of an
eccentric character.
Relics of the Washingtons
Arlington house became the re-
pository of large and interesting
collection of relics of the Washing
tons which were given to him by
his doting grandmother, or fell to
his lot in the final division of the
household goods or which he pur-
chased from less affluent posses
sors. These included among other
things the bed in which Washing
ton died and the tent which had
sheltered him during the RevOlu-
ton. The latter was often pitched
on the Arlington lawn for the awed
admiration Of residents of George

Why Named Arlington"

In 1896, what are now the Airing
ton lands were allotted by the court
to the legal representatives of John
Parke GUSTS who had died ites-
tate. By the law of primogeniture
the estate descended TO Washing
tons namesake, George Washing
ton Parke Gusts. 1t was G. w. P.
Gusts who named it Arlington, aft
er the Gusts ancestral home in
Northampton county on the eastern
shore of Virginia.
George Washington Parke GUSTS
had an interesting career. From the
time he was six months old until
the death of his grandmother, Mar
tina Washington, on May %, 1902,
