Col. Harrison Howell Dodge, IS,
who devoted the last 50 years of his

Mount Vernon estate, which was
George Washington's home, was buried
yesterday beneath two leafy oak trees
beside the Pohick Church in Truro

and Rev James Madison, assistant
at St Johns Church, Sixteenth and
H streets, intoned the burial service
1t was just a year and four days
before that Col. Dodge. who died
Wednesday in Garfield Hospital of a
cerebral hemorrhage, had last been
at Pohick. He conducted then, as
he had done for "a years before. the
delegates to the annual convention
OF the regents of the Mount Vernon
Ladies Association to the church for
their annual corporate communion
services.

For the first time since 1901 the
regents attended Pohick in a body
last Sunday without Col. Dodge. who
was appointed the third superintend-
ent OF Mount Vernon by the Ladies' As
soclatlon and named its postmaster by
President Grover Cleveland. Each sue
ceeding President reappointed him. and

as one of the most beautiful shrines

From Sixteenth and H streets the
funeral cortege proceeded to Mount
Vernon Memorial Highway and in half
an hour reached the gates OF Mount
Vernon, trip which in 1885 would
have occupied five hours. The casket
was carried in state through the
Mount Vernon grounds, past the Tomb
OF Gen. Washington. The cortege
then proceeded the miles to red
brick Pohick Church, sitting on a knoll
q short way above Accotink Creek,
on Richmond Highway.
There the casket was lowered to
the ground behind mound of flow
ers, while Rev. Madison read Unto
eternity we commit the soul of our
brother departed"
The burial ground is modern, but
the church was begun in 1869 and fin
ished in l774, a year before Washing
ton rode of from Mount Vernon to
take command of the Continental
Army. Washington and George Will
liam Fairfax and George Mason, two
other leaders of Colonial Virginia,
were members of the Building Com

constructed.

BOYS CLUB WORK
LAUDEDBYB BISHOP
Youth Character Modelling
Needed, Says Right Rev.
J. E. Freeman.

Character modelling of youth
through boys clubs performs the
surgery needed to eradicate the ma
lignant cancerous growth" of crime,
Right Rev James E. Freeman,
Bishop of Washington. told the Gifts
Committee of the Police Boys Clubs
at a Willard Hotel luncheon yes
terday.
If Washington citizens fully real
lied the social significance of the
clubs work they would be twice as
willing to contribute to their cause
as they are to pay taxes which 20 to
swell the $l3,000,0OO,O0O spent in
crime detection and prosecution each
year in the country" the bishop de-
clared.
Civil War" Faced.
In day when the major crimes
in America are committed by youths
whose moral and ethical education
has been neglected-the embryos Of
President Roosevelt's forgotten men
we are presented in Washington, as
well as in other large cities, with a
virtual civil war of juvenile crime,
which if it becomes nationally malig-
nant will be a major factor in the
downfall of our country.
1T is painfully evident" he con-
tinued, that while educative pro-
grams in the United States have ma de
great strides along intellectual and
cultural lines, they have failed in pro-
Vldlng adequate moral training"
Camp Improvements Reported.
James E. Colliflower, president Of
Police Boys Clubs, presided and in
troduced Bishop Freeman. Maj. Err
nest w. Brown, superintendent of po-
lice, reported improvements made at
the Scotland, Md, camp, bearing his

civic groups told the Board of Edu-
cation, which met in the Franklin

ular semi-annual conference to dis
cuss 1889 budget items
Citing heavy present and prospec-
tive enrollments, parent-teacher and
other associations insisted something
must be done to keep the childen out
OF alleys and streets and in many
instances, urged resurfacing Of Gin
der-covered grounds which made it
dangerous and unhealthy for children
to play.
Next to recreation area new schools
were most generally in demand es-
pecially in the northeast and south
east sections of Washington Re-
quests we're made for elementary
schools in Brookland and in the
southeast area on Alabama avenue,
new school at Eleventh and G

Mrs. Florence w. OleSen, chairman
of the Advisory Council on Nursery
Schools of the Council of Social
Agencies filed a request for eight
nursery schools, two to each section
of the city, as permanent parts of the

ander H. Bell of the Americanization
Association. The originally appropri-

in 1882.
Citing the good American princi-
piles taught to the best elements of
foreign-born people" Bells speech in
behalf of the Americanizat ton School
drew applause from the other dele
gates.
Additions Also Sought.
Other principal requests sought
building additions to several schools
and painting and improvement of
existing edifices. A new school for
crippled children was asked for by
the Weightman School parent teacher
group.
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, president
of the board and presiding officer at
the meeting. could not resist reading
to the group letter from the Hine
Junior High parent teacher group
stating it had no building and ground
improvement requests at all for the
1889 budget. The delegates were much
amused
Mrs. Doyle said after the meeting
that the requests seemed far more
reasonable this year than on some
previous occasions.

the observance will carry over

In some agencies employees will

Call Editorial Unfair

The editorial which appeared
in the Times on "Our Foul
Weather Friends, the Filipinos,"
contains one of the most unjust
indictments to the loyalty of the
people of the Philippine Islands
to the United States, In it the
Filipinos were accused of nurs-
ing hatred for Americans when
things are quiet in the Far East
and Of warming up to them
when conditions become omi-
nous.
This accusation is not only
lacking in every essence of truth,
but it is also a deliberate at
tempt to incite the American
people against their wards who
have proven themselves not only
grateful to the United States,
but deeply attached to 1t.
The Filipinos have been and
will always be friendly and
grateful to the people of the
United States.
When America entered the
war in 1917, $4,000 Filipinos
in Manila alone paraded in front
of the governor-general's palace
where expressions Of their devo-
tion to the American people
were given.
The Philippine legislature au-
thorized the formation Of the
National Guard for foreign serv'
ice as an expression Of the gen.
eral Filipino sentiment towards
the United States. To this little
army volunteered $4,000 Fill
pinos for service. Only the

early defeat Of the German i'm
perial government prevented
this army Of loyal subjects to
fight side by side with the A.E.F.
The totally inconsistent politi-
cal maneuverings Of Manuel
Quezon, the politician, have not
the stamp Of approval Of the
Filipino people and should not
be taken as national acts Of
the titular head Of the Philip
pine Commonwealth. The peo-
pie of the United States should
not take Mr.. Quezon's personal
attitudes as expressing the real
attitude of the IA million Fill
ipinos.
Contrary to popular belief the
Philippines are really the best
defense outpost of the United
States in the Pacific. Military
tacticians who have studied all
the angles of the United States
defenses in the Pacific consist
emily maintain that strategically
the Philippines are very valuable
to the United States.
The maintenance therefore Of
American defense in that remote
outpost in the Pacific was not
prompted alone by altruiSm to
give the Philippines a certain
degree of security from foreign
invasion but also to give the
United States security in the pro-
lection Of American commerce
and interests in that part of the
world. American defense in the
Philippines is mutually benefi-
cial to both countries but even
more so to the United States.

Marry-Go-
Round
BY HELEN ROWLAND

If we can just make the "firSt
payment" on the car, the radio,
or the bungalow, the engage
ment ring or the divorce suit, we
think we've got, it. We never
feel we are running into debt as
as long as our credit at the gaSo-
line station holds out.
Sometimes we even start a
business career and get married
on the "first payment" theory.
If a man and a girl can pay for
the license, put over a display
wedding and splurge on the
honeymoon trip, the marriage is
called a success.
They think they've paid the
price" by just showing up at the
church and mumbling a few
words at the altar.
But alas, marriage is not a
"pay-aS-you-enter" affair, but a
'pay.as-you-go" institution. And
it won't "go" unless you keep up
the daily installments of con-
sideration, love and self-sacri'
flee.
Success in love, in business,
in work, in marriage or in life
is not a fluke, a chance or a
gamble. You don't win it-you
earn it! And sooner or later
you've got to make your pay
ments. Fate is an inexorable
installment collector.
It takes a lot Of love, lot Of
congeniality and a lot Of for
bearance-and then some, to
keep a marriage from stalling
after the first dalliance and ro-
nance have worn off.
So, whether it's a car, radio,
love or happiness. it isn't yours
until it's paid for!
