the way uptown, and then going all
the way downtown again with Us.
It's especially hard to make husbands
feel that they should always pick q
wife up at her own doorstep.
We've been trying to manage things
better lately. First we tried pretend

but the cop on the corner saw through
our ruse. Then we tried taking along
an exciting book, and becoming alb
sorbed. That was a good idea, but
it's awfully hard for us to read stand

boy friend to meet US either in the
public library or in soda fountain,
where we would have something to do
while we waited. That works fine

that in high school. But, then, she's

Not Made
By Money
Poverty Does Not
in Itself Breed
Criminals.
BY ANGELO PATRI,

p EPEATEDLY Of recent months !
have read reports and articles OF
one sort or another that seem to con-
vey what believe to be great error
Society is rightly concerned about the
number of youths who go wrong, COM
NIT some act that puts them in the
courts, reformatories and jails. In
our anxiety to find a cause and rem
edy We seem to have picked on a
cause that is not a complete 100 per
cent right one. mean poverty.
1t would seem, in reading these re-
ports. all made by well-meaning peo-
pie, that the child born in a poor
home, in q poverty-ridden district
was born to be criminal. want
to protest against that with all the
power of my body and soul. 1t is not
true. lived in such a district. I
have worked in such a district. I
have known thousands and thousands
OF boys and girls from such homes
and they were as fine lot Of young
sters as a country could boast. They
are as fine a lot today.
am all for good housing, for open
play spaces, for sun and air and clean
illness for all homes, for good heat and
lighting and plumbing. I am for
every comfort and convenience that
can be found for every home in the
world, beginning with those in my own
district. In the meantime, while we
struggle toward that goal, am against
labelling poor folk and their children
as likely criminals. Poverty does not
in itself breed criminals. You know
that is true All you have to do is to
glance over group of your acquaint-
anceS.
Poverty adds to all human ills. It
is curse, poisonous to the bodies and
souls of men. Away with it! Fight it
tooth and nail. But don't use poor
children or poor parents as a weapon.
Use the greed, the stupidity, the ig-
norance of our social scheme instead
and educate the community to the
place where they can overcome the
evils that cause poverty.
And I don't agree with any one who
says that poverty is good stimulant
to the ambition Of boys and girls. It
is nothing of the sort. It is de-
pressant of the worst kind. All chill
dren should be, and some day will be,
relieved of its black burden.
What I want to make clear Is this:
Character is not dependent upon
money or the lack Of it. It is mat
ter of the intelligence, the cultivation
OF the intelligence and the resultant
soul. If the well-to-do and wealthy
were all honorable men, Of high char
acter, OF nobility Of soul, there might
be some reason for this prevalent idea,
or excuse for an idea. But we all know
that virtue and honor and nobility Of
character have little relation to money.
Nor does poverty make saints. Saints
have taken the VOW Of poverty, but I
never could see that that had any
thing to do with their saintliness. Nor
has poverty anything much to do with
crime. Criminals were that way be-
fore poverty added its weight to their
load. Let's be honest as we fight for
the salvation of the oppressed of the
earth. We want decent comfort and
freedom from most Of the economic ills
for all. But we need not smear decent
people who happen to be poor in the
meantime.

My Neighbor Says:

Lawns, no matter how poor,
may be beautifled by the use Of
fertilizer during the months Of
May and June. About four
pounds Of fertilizer should be ap-
piled to every 1000 feet Of lawn.
TO prevent mildew on phlox
let water how around roots in
stead OF watering from overhead.
If q light mildew appears on these
plants spray or dust with sulphur.
Oysters have 4 better flavor
If not overlooked. They may be
rolled in fine cracker crumbs,
dipped in egg, rolled again in
crumbs and fried In deep fat at
$50 degrees Fahrenheit.
Lard used in deep-fat frying
should be strained through
cheesecloth after use to remove
the food particles which accumu-
late in the kettle.
Brass trays should be washed
with warm water and good yellow
soap. Rinse In clear water and
polish with chamois. A little
lemon Juice win remove stains.

fathers brother. The Richard Wash
ingtons had seven children of their
own, and the death of an uncle added
his four children to the household,
bringing the total to 18. To cap the
climax, the house burned to the
ground within 18 months!
Misfortunes came apace after that,
but they were made of sturdy stuff,
these Washingtons, and they managed
somehow to keep the family together.
Thus, when her sister, Maria, married
Beverley cambridge Tucker, later
Episcopal Bishop of Southern Virginia,
Miss Nellie went to live with them. Il
was there that she met and married
dashing young Julian Howard He
died when their only child, Sarah, was
3 years old
Today, the smiling face of Sarahs
grandchildren, Sally Caldwell Ingra-
ham, looks down from the wall OF Mrs
Howard's living room in Alexandria.
And, if you're going to mention my
great-grandchildren please don't for
get Sally's brother Charles, better
known as Skipper" said the little
lady.
Sally's picture is only one of many
interesting things in the apartment.
To mention a few of them-there are
pictures galore, most of them historical
or family-a cherryWood secretary, an
old-fashioned highboy, a tiny walnut
footstool. Il suppose that stool should
be painted" said the owner, but l
hate things that look too new"

ONE wall is lined with books on
history and genealogy. I'm alone
great deal and they're a source Of
much comfort to me" Beautiful
flowers filed the room. "They give
me great deal Of pleasure, too" she
said. And then they're matter of
health. You know that the earth
around them absorbs impure air."
Eleanor Washington Howard smiled
Il don't know why I place such stress
on health. Eighty-one is a ripe old
age when you remember that We
Washingtons are Short-lived folk.
And here I'm a great-grandmother
Isn't it splendid, though?"
Please don't get the idea from this
that Mrs. Howard sits at home, i'm
mersed in family and genealogy. Far
from 1t! She is fond of calling on
her friends, goes often to Memorial
Continental Hall and never misses
services at Christ Church. Indeed,
any one who talks with this diminu-
tive person cannot help but sense her
deep piety. In speaking Of her moth
er's people, she said, Il have always
been proud Of the fact that they were
known as holy family"
One of the most familiar figures TO
Alexandria residents for many years
has been that of "the lady with the
staff" as they call Mrs. Howard. The
staff, which was given her by Col.
Dodge to replace crutch is of black
walnut grown at Mount Vernon. It
Is about 5 feet tall, is mounted in
solid silver and carries her monogram,
The crutch still hangs in the colonels
Office in the historic mansion. The
use of pair of crutches was first
necessitated by a fall Mrs. Howard
received when alighting from a train
back in the era of sweeping skirts.
But it didn't spoil my fondness
for travel" said the indomitable little
person. Il love it-even short trips
are nice, for they give one such in
spiration. And we all need that"
Well, we're sure of one thing. Even
while Mrs. Howard seeks inspiration
for herself, she supplies it for the rest
Of us, for she's the fit product Of d
fine heritage.

thrilling tales.
Few Of Mrs. HoWard's own stories,
however, are more dramatic than that
Of the little bonnet which she will
present to the forty-second annual
convention Of the Children of the
American Revolution on April 20 for
permanent exhibit in their national
museum here.
This relic Of her childhood first as
sumed prominence when the C. A. r
made their annual pilgrimage to Mount
Vernon. Mrs. Howard, who has been
an officer Of the society since 1903 and
vice president presiding since 1909
accompanies them always. The group
is met at the gates by Col Harrison
Dodge, superintendent of the estate
who goes over the grounds with them
After placing wreaths on the tombs
OF George and Martha Washington
they go to the c. A. r, tree which was
planted by their founder, Mrs Lothrop
in 1896. There is a short talk by the
colonel and then Mrs. Howard tells
stories Of the old place to an en-
IdptuIeO 0uOlence.
One OF the stories Is of how, as a
very small child, she would retire to
the little cubby- hole closet under the
stairs until, as she says, she could be
agreeable"
A FTER hearing this story told some
years by Mrs. Howard, Col Dodge
said one year, Mrs. Howard, I want
you to take a look at something that
was found in 1897 under the caves, in
the little cubby hole you mentioned
by workmen reinforcing the roof" He
produced little quilted hood, and Mrs
Howard had no sooner seen it than she
said excitedly, That's my little hood
My NANNY always made that kind for
me-"
Col. Dodge returned to her the little
hood that had been under the caves OF
Mount Vernon for some 81 years. and
future generations will be the richer
for It's discovery. 1t Is a quaint little
affair OF brown silk, veritable breath
OF the past. The ties are of checked
brown and white ribbon-one of them
tattered and worn, perhaps by swing
ing from childish hand. The quilt
Ing on the front shows painstakine
care. The lining is much worn, but
the cording is as firm as when the
young Negro nurse made it for little
Nellie Washington almost 80 years ago
The nurses name was Amanda
Smith and she died only a few years
ago. Mrs. Howard is sorry that
Amanda couldn't have known about
the little hood. TT would have pleased
my NANNY" says her former charge.
She was always so interested in us
children and wanted us to have the
best OF everything. remember espe-
ctally one time when a family came
to visit us who had child of my age,
beautifully dressed Amanda, who
made all my clothes, evidently made
mental notes Of all the little dresses,
bonnets and petticoats, for no sooner
had the guests left than she sat down
and copied them for me-"
Those happy days ended all too
soon, however. In 1860 little Nellie S
father, John Augustine Washington,
sold Mount Vernon to the Mount
Vernon Ladies Association Of the
Union. A move to "Waveland" in
Fauquier County was followed by the
mothers death. Less than 10 months
later the father was killed, in the first
year Of the war between the States.
