EQUALITY VS.. JUSTICE
We often hear people make
contradictory statements that
are mutually exclusive, the one
of which entirely eliminates the
other-yet they may have a
blind spot in their nature that
makes them think both are true.
For instance, that celebrated
pair of opposites found in the

and justice!" Yet there is none
Of the one in the other.

Advice TO the LOvelOrn

any man will take a little to
drink now and then.
my mother wants me to
break with him, saying that a
man who drinks like this before
marriage will never be able to
overcome it afterwards"
LOU ELLEN"
OF late years, the medical
profession has taken a different
view of this type Of periodical
drinking induced by melan-
cholia. It seems to be due to
maladjuStment, and is some
thing deeper than the desire
for a bracer.
Whether this form Of alcohol
ism is durable or not, is for med
ical authority to decide.
Wives have written me letters
about perfect cures brought
about by certain courses Of treat
ment. Others have had less
successful results from the same
institution.
It would be a great mistake,
it seems to me, for a young girl,
to marry a periodical drunkard,
particularly one who declines to
admit he's a victim of alcohol
ism and refuses to see, at least,
what Q cure would do for him.

Mexican Inventor
Provides Novelty
For Heel Designs

It won't be long before girls
will be wearing their hearts on
their heels, if the brain child Of
q Mexican inventor achieves
recognition. His contribution to
feminine elegance is a trans
parent heel containing symbols
designed to express the mood of
the moment, or figures appro-
pirate to specific occasions and
events.
Among the novelties incorpo,
rated in his various heel de-
signs are flowers, animals. mer-
maids, portraits of movie stars,
and gold fish swimming about
in a liquid filling.
Luminous effects on some Of
the figures provide miniature
beacons, making it easy to To-
cate the wearers in the dark.

Children
Treat EN- Rough
Theory Scored F
By GLADYS BEVANS

10y NA1AO Il y DGl 6AGN0
Mothers and fathers who have
grown children with little ones
of their own often have to look
on hopelessly at the young
parents mismanagement and
injustice, and even unkindneSS.
Quite often they appeal to me to
send along some sort Of printed
matter that may open the eyes
of these misguided young
parents.
Recently the particular thing
about which these solicitouS on
lockers have written me is that
the father is showing real
severity in dealing with the chill.
dren, but particularly with his
boys.
TREAT EN- ROUGH
I know many men who think
that in order to make a man Of
a boy he must be raised with
strictness. They think he should
not be shown affection or
leniency Of any kind. Their
idea is, in substance, to treat
'em rough" A daughter they
handle in an entirely different
way; a little girl baby from the
beginning is INDUCED by such
a father-petted, careSSed, and
frequently spoiled to a great
degree.
Never was there a more mis-.
taken idea. Treat 'em rough
and make 'em tough" may
sound virile and masculine, but
it just doesn't work out that
way. And many a boy has been
made sensitive and unhappy and
resentful, and many a youth,
come of age, actually driven
from home as the result Of such
treatment.
AVOID EXTREMES
It doesn't make a boy soft o.
a sissy to give him understand
ing and to let him know that
you both enjoy and love him.
There is an inherent maScu-
Unity in a boy which will OUT:
will manifest itself, even under
a too-tender treatment-not that
I advocate that extreme, either.
And many a boy has, by force
of circumstance, been brought
up by his mother or several
feminine relatives and become
the manifest of boys and men.
Another point is this: That
while a father may believe in
treat 'em rough and make 'em
tough" he also is greatly af-
fected if his boy is not polite and
chivalrous as he grows older.
Well, he can't have it coming
and going.

Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I'VE could be so happy II
1t were not for one thing. The
boy friend is handsome clever,
doing well in his profession,
which is the law, when suddenly
he becomes moody. These moody
spells go into acute melancholia,
and then he drinks.
ct have never seen him when
liquor gets the best Of him, but
I hear from his chum, who
shares an apartment with him,
that he is hard to control at
such times.
"They have even sent him to
q hospital, fearing he would do
something desperate. He would
lose his place in the firm if
these things were known, but his
boy friend is splendid about TAX
ing care of him, and keeping

If you throw your en-
tire weight on one foot,
then on the other, you'll
line up with the "wad-
dlerS." Overweight in
clineS one to cultivate
that habit. Why be
overweight? Discipline
the appetite, cultivate
strong resilient muscles
and the reports of the
bathroom scales will be
encouraging.
Another bad habit is
hip swinging. What this
habit does to the spinal
column is not to the
advantage of the figure.
The body should move
freely, easily and grace
fully. Hip swinging in
terferes with graceful
movement. 1t is a strain
on the muscles of the
back and thighs.
When walking, don't
let the knees buckle.
Hold the body tall,
chest high and arms
hanging easily at the
sides. Keep the head
on the level. If the
head is carried Harvard
the shoulders will droop
and the back goes into
q hump. If the head is
held back. the tummy
will protrude. Good car
riage is half the beauty
fight.

Arranging Bridal Shower

ing a linen shower for Kay Ora
ham in - Hall, on Tuesday,
the first of September, at four
o'clock, and we very much want
to have you come. Do say that
you will, and make us happy!
Dearest love from both Of
us.
"Affectionately,"
IDENTIFICATION
If more than your first names
would be necessary for identifi-
cation of the notes, you would
sign yours Gloria, and your
sister would sign hers either
Jane Smith Lawson, or Jane
Lawson.
The next best form of invita-
ton to the written-note-invitar
ton is the small shower cards,
semi-engraved. You can now
buy very good-locking ones,
simple and dignified.
Printed invitations, while not
in such good taste as engraved
ones, should be worded as form
ally as engraved ones, and there
fore you and your SiSter-in-laW.
would, on this kind of invita-
ton, use your formal names :.
Mrs. Henry Lawson. and Miss
Gloria Lawson.
GIFTS CUSTOMARY
Usually the hostess or hos
tesses do give gifts to the bride
at the shower.
A shower really isn't a shower
unless the gifts are opened at
the party that is the real
point of this kind of party.
And the fact that your shower
is being given in a hall wouldn't
affect this gala and important
detail of the party. So have the
guest of honor open the shower
presents at the shower!

Part 10

HdfC III
One of the curious facts gather
ed from the recorded land grants,
is that many of the larger grants,
made in what is now Washington
County, were taken up by profess
sional people who did not become
residents, such as DR.. Charles Car
roll and Daniel Dulaney, while
others were made to persons who
obtained residence for the pur-
pose of exploiting their property.
And, strange as it may seem, the
most of those large grants, notab-
ly those made to Evan Shelby and
Dr. Carroll were not located on
the fertile soil, but on the kind of
ground in which it was expected
the valuable minerals might be
found.
The great tracts called Noun
tain of Wales and Resurvey on
Mountain of Wales, Kindness and
Kindness, enlarged, located in the
western end of the county, near
and upon North Mountain, were
certainly taken up, not SO much
for their agricultural value. How
ever, men like Evan Shelby, were
wise also in their day and genera
ton. While taking up the great
tracts of land on the mountain in
which valuable minerals were ex-
pected to be found, following
down the streams, which flowed
out of the mountain, through the
more level land, he secured on
their banks some of the finest
farming soil to be found in Wash
ington County. Resurvey on Noun
tain of Wales, covering such no.
table places as those which once
belonged to Barnes Mason, is now
in the possession of the William
Seibert and the Ankeney families
and others. On another stream
called East Branch from North
Mountain, he took up the great
tract, prior to 1850, known as
Mouldy Pone, on which are now
located the fine farms of Bernard
Seibert, Leo Cohi1l, George Rhodes,
Keiffer Seibert and others. Below
this tract are the Smiths, who
owned land prior to 1850, as far as
the Potomac river. West of these
tracts were the lands Of Hugh
Gilfland, Nathaniel Nesbitt, Thorn
as Clagett, Thomas Prather, DR..
Charles Carroll, Thomas Mills,

When Washington County

BIZ
GEORGE T. PRATHER
Written exclusively for The Haoarstoun cIob

others; all these were settlers
prior to the French and Indian
War.
The historians all seem to be-
lieve, and even General Washing
ton thought that after the first
Indian attack in 1856, that all the
settlers in Washington County
fled from their homes. Based on
well-founded tradition and some
written history, it is we'll estab-
lished that the Eng ssh settlers
around the base OF North Noun
tain, led and encouraged by the
redoubtable Col Cresap, actually
did not flee, but held their ground
and remained in and around their
homes through all those bloody
years of Indian warfare. There
is also material proof that large
number of people stayed close to
their homes throughout the whole
time of the war. The very fact
that Fort Frederick was built in
this section probably located there
through the influence of the more
wealthy land owners who had
their holding in the vicinity, and
also that there were four adjunct
stockade forts built within com
parative short distances of Fort
Frederick, proves that the people
in that area deliberately made
provision to defend themselves.
The business of killing Indians
became rather lucrative, as, about
that time a ten-pound bounty was
offered by the Province for each
Indian scalp. 1t is said that the
Indians once attacked the fort of
Thomas Mills. While Mills, him.
self, was outside the stockade, an
Indian suddenly attacked him.
Mills had his gun with him and
killed the Indian. He was not
able to scalp the Indian and get
the bounty because other Indians
were pressing him too closely. He
retreated to the stockade, after
which those in the stockade were
attacked by a large body of In
dams, and were being hard press
ed, when a messenger sent to Fort
Frederick for achievements re-
turned with help and drove the
Indians off. This Thomas Mills
Fort was located on Licking Creek
about four miles from Fort Fred
erick.
