But she will sigh, remembering him,
and remark his jovial high feeling.
She will imply, with a shrug, word
dropped now and then casually, that
Mr. Pennychester was an incorrigible
rake who died of drunk. She has
grown with the years to half believe
this legend herself.
Young people like her. She likes
them too, but she finds the current

afternoon soirees not long ago young
woman of seventeen was glooming
about the state of the world. Her

SAND FIXATION is

Raleigh, March 26-Passage of q
law "to extend the Statewide stock
law to certain parts of Currituck coun
ty" will enable the Department of
Conservation and Development to ex-
tend still further a sand fixation''
program already making great pro-
gress in eastern coastal sectors.
The program, in which 900 men are
employed, is not widely known thro-
ughout the State, but it is of great i'm
Dortance to the barren. windswept
sand-dune sections of Dare, Tyrrell,
Hyde and Currituck
More than a little has been pub
ished about erosion of eastern beach
IS by the oceans tides and currents,
but there is probably as much or more
damage done by the erosion caused by
gales sweeping in from the sea over
the dunes. 1t is this latter damage
which the sand fixation'' program is
designed to remedy
On many of the long, barren, de-
nuded coastal sections of northeast
North Carolina this program is in
full swing from Ocracoke north to
the shores of Currituck.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

March 26, 1853-Benjamin Thomp-
son was born in Woburn, Mass, pro-
Dizzy in a family of Nobodies who ap-
prenticed at 13 to a s.Iopkeeper. Mar
riage at 10 to one of his customers,
wealthy, widowed and 12-years older
Mrs. Rolfe made him a Somebody. AL
so a traitor. For she insisted upon
buying him commission as major in
the colonial militia. He was ridiculed
by older and more worthy officers. To
get even, he became a British spy in
the Revolution. The British Cine.
sent him to England with dispatches,
Benjamin's own penetrating summa-
ton of American affairs won the at
tention of the colonial minister, he
was made an undersecretary. For
this and other services, when the war
was over he was knighted.
The undersecretaryship enabled him
to see opportunities here and there
for bright boy and he attached him
self to the Bavarian court, where he
became in turn aide-decamp to the
king, a minister who reformed the
strengthened army, drained marshes,
extended and improved agriculture,
beautified Munich, developed COM
merce and finally became regent. All
the while he devoted himself to what
had always been his chief interest, in
vention and scientific research. Hon
ors came to him from all Europe
He did not forget his native land.
When he was made a noble of the
German Empire, he took his title from
the New Hampshire village where he
briefly taught school, became Count
Rumford. Before he died, his investi-
cations of the physics of light and
heat established that heat was not
matter but form of energy and won
him decoration from the American
Academy of Science. Thus recognized
by his native land, he devised to Har-
ward funds for a Rumford professor
ship, caused his daughter to go back
to New Hampshire to live and die.

lived in Manhattan all her life long.
She is a grand old girl. She wears
lace at her throat, and jabots, and
when she goes out she dons an early
Queen Mary hat.
She owns her home, brownstone in
one of the drowsy sidestreets East of
Fifth Avenue and South of 23rd Street
Her block used to be breathlessly
fashionable. The brick carriage hous-
es are still discernible wedged in
between the old mansions which now
have Furnished Rooms-Vacancy' in
their windows. Some of the carriage
houses have been converted into flats
and some of them have become laun-
dries, bars, tailor shops.
Mrs. Pennychester's remains just as
it was. The surrey she rode in as a
girl, before Fifth Avenue was paved
on the wall just as it was removed
from the spanking pair of bays back
in 1917 for the last time.
But Mrs. Pennychester has not
withdrawn from life. She lives Justify
and loves young people. On Sunday
afternoons she has small gatherings
for her six nieces, four nephews and
their friends. At these she serves cake

IT'S TRUE

The Easter egg is a symbol older
than Easter. It is a survival of an
ancient festival symbOliZing, as does
Easter itself, the renewal of life in
Springtime.
Hot cross buns originally were as
ISOLATED with Easter Sunday rather
than good Friday. They were distri-
buted in churches on that day for
the sustennance of country folk who
had travelled long distances, to break
their lenten fast after early mass or
morning prayer. The usual hot
cross bun of today is a degenerated
version of the original article, which
was rich in fruits and spices. This
writer hasn't seen a hot cross bun
worthy of the name in years.
When John Law, the Ponzi-Kreuger-
Stavisky of his day, was a fugitive
from France, after having RUNE
thousands with his speculative sche-
mes, the car invited him to admin
lister Russia's finances!
In the time of Henry WILL there
were taxes on chimneys and windows.
1t was the height of extravaganza to
have many windows, for glass could
be afforded only by churches and the
rich. The effect of this taxation on
the health of Henry's people is meal
