He had studied art at the old art
school on the Circle and his artistic
sense prompted him to copy these
emblems for permanent collection.
1t is on display in the Indiana State
Library genealogical department.
He framed the hand printed
coats of arms himself and pasted
on their reverse sides records of the
families represented.
His mother, the late Mrs. Laura
Fletcher Hodges, started him on his
hobby. She had her ancestry traced
to enter membership in the Colonial
Danes of America, the Daughters
Of American Revolution and the
Daughters of Founders and Patriots
These patriotic organizations are
valuable to maintain records of
families" DR.. Hodges explained.
There usually is only one member
in every family interested enough
to keep records and somehow or
other they are lost when wanted.
When the records are registered
with one of these organizations they
are preserved permanently"
DR.. Hodges, in practicing medicine,
is following a career which has at
tracted several ancestors. His father,
DR.. Edward Francis Hodges, prac-
ticed here. In the history of the
Hodges. Fletcher and allied fami-
lies, there is evidence about ancestors
devoted to the same profession.
DR.. SilaS Hodges was surgeon
during the Revolution and
member of George Washington's
staff. Records revealed that DR.
Hodges was intrusted with impor-
tant missions by Washington. The
sleeve buttons and studs he wore
while on the first Presidents staff
now are in the Antiquarian Mu-
scum in Rutland, VT.
Even farther back in the family
history is the story of another ply
sician: DR.. Francis Lebaron, a
French doctor, who was ship
wrecked at Martha's Vineyard and
taken prisoner to Plymouth. While
in custody, he performed an emer-
gency operation. So jubilant were
the townsmen over his saving a
life, that they requested that he be
allowed to remain in the COM
munity as an honored member.
He was the first of long line
of physicians OF that name in the
colony, and he was given the cpl
tibet, 1.-The Nameless Nobleman"
His story was described later by an
ancestor, Jane Austin.
In his search for family connec-
tons DR.. Hodges discovered among
his Mayt1ower ancestors representa-
tiveS of the Tilley, Bradford, How
land and Degory Priest families.
Records of his ancestors entitled
him to membership in War of 1912,
Sens of American Revolution, IN
diana Society of Colonial Wars, In
diana Society of Mayfiower De-
scendants ana Indiana Sons of
American Revolution.
In addition to the coats of arms
which DR.. Hodges has hanging on
his library Malls, the shelves ere
filled with numerous genealogical
books.
He also has been interested in dis
covering family connections with
friends here. In aiding Judge Gavin
in tracing his ancestry, he found
their mutual relationship to the
Lothrop family. He also learned of
kinslip with Mrs. Edward Taylor
ampng their Colonial forbears.

Of oil does help cut the heating
bill.
Any danger connected with using
gas or oil has been removed. The
chance for explosion Is practically
removed. In every case an auto
matte spark ignites the fuel. II
this doesn't happen the supply is
cut off. One manufacturer boasts
that only a spoonful Of oil can
overflow" If the oil fails to ignite.
Unusual Feature
Another unusual feature Of this
furnace is the location Of the
chimney. It is on a level with the
bottom Of the furnace. Warm air
tends to rise. So advantage Is
taken of this principle in allowing
the hot air to circulate past the
hot water coils before reaching the
chimney. This Is also interpreted
to mean that less fuel is needed.
The decision Of what type Of
boiler to use should not be con-
sidered without mention Of winter
air conditioning. This you will
hear discussed again and again In
relation to heating.
The circulation Of air in order
to insure constant temperature
throughout the room, humidifica-
ton Of the air to insure health

All agree that this should be
accomplished. Ways Of doing it

Tradition holds that this spot
was, in the fifteen hundreds, a
Spanish missionary shrine. In
1875 a fort was built at the falls.
The first fully equipped iron fur

Spotswood about 10 miles west Of
Fredericksburg. It was, too, port

for many years with a busy English
trade.
From early colonial times,

borne a vital part in the history Of

Long strides have been made in
the past year. Gadget control was
innovated to remove uncertainty
in heat, moisture, and air circula-
ton.
Just how specialized it has be-
come was not realized until this
fall when We editor began a tour
of investigation on what is new
and smart for Times Home
owners.
There are literally dozens Of
heating plants. Each manufac-
turer has on the market several
types. They each have special fea-
lures and selling points. The price
range varies.
For the most part they are de-
signed with appearance as one Of
the foremost attractions.
The choice must be personal and
depend not only on the amount Of
money you have to spend but also
on just what you expect your fur
mace to do for you.
Advantages
The question Of what kind Of
fuel to use must be settled. There
are those who prefer oil, others gas.
Automatic Stokers remove the dis
advantage to coal furnaces.
In one furnace, the oil is atom
lied and burned in an inverted
flame. The reason for this I am
told, Is so it will not come in con-
tact with anything cold. It burns
more completely this way. A cold
surface will cause oil to char just
as a cold knife blade hitting the
top Of a burning match will turn
black and be smoked. The small
HeckS Of glowing carbon go out
before they burn. Such ways as
this to insure complete utilization
