Menokin, an old Indian name,

countryside and Washington in the
distance. Menokin was a favorite
name with the Lee family, there be-
ing three Lee estates in Virginia which
bear this name. The picturesque
house, now occupied by the Brook
ings, was built in 1850 by Casius Lee,
a first cousin Of Gen. Robert E. Lee.
For IS years Cassius Lee was treas

logical Seminary, which Is nearby.
He also served as a member of the
Virginia House Of Delegates. When
the Civil War broke out this old
home was occupied by Gen. Nc
Dowell and used as headquarters of
he Union troops in this section. The
Cassius Lee family continued to live
there during the occupancy of the

Her Desires By Living

uITS A womans privilege to change her
mind" they say. And rare, indeed, is the
woman who doesn't take advantage of her
privilege.
Katherine de Mile is the exception to the
rule When she makes up her mind to do some
thing she sticks to it, no matter how hard it
may seem at the time. The acme of feminnty,
Miss de Mile is as clear thinking and level
headed as any
It was last year that Katherine signed her
new contract. She was in New York at the time.
But since il was several weeks before it was
necessary for her to report for work on the
coast she decided to make a leisurely trip home
Taking a slow boat through the canal, she
touched at Havana and Central and South
American ports.
Out side of trip she had once made to Mex
leo City she had done no foreign travel before,
and this trip nhamed her imagination. Too on
the boat she became friendly with an elderly
Colombian couple Senor and Sonora Vicente
Martinez who interested her with stories of
their country and who offered her a standing
invitation to visit them in their home in Carta-
gena.
BY the time Katherine got off the boat she
had her plan all worked out.
IF stenographers can live quite comfortably
on $500 week. she thought, Il don't see
why can't. Living with my parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Cecil B. de Mile, don't have to pay for
room and board which is another big help.
have quite a good wardrobe which would last
me while, and I figured that if could keep
my expenses down to $500 weekly, I could
save the rest for travel"
Being very logical young woman she ac-
tually had a stenographer help her make out
her budget and stick to it. The girl was the
secretary of Director Mitchell Leisen.
After finishing her role in Banjo On My
Knee" Katherine got the required leave of alb
sence. By that time she had saved enough for
three months travel and, without any fuss or
Juror she was on her way.
Wanting to make the most of her time, kath-
crime decided to make the trip by plane. The
first night out she spent in Mexico City, the
following evening she was in Guatemala. The
night after that she landed in Panama where
she remained with friends for a week. From
Panama she took passage on a German
freighter. Outside of few native steerage pass
engers, Katherine was the only passenger.
And what an eventful two days that trip was!
The first mate came aboard in highly intoxi-
Gated condition and remained that way for the
duration of the voyage. The first day out, a
terrific gale sprang up. Poor Katherine was

tire town was in darkness.
BY this time her hostess had come to her
room to reassure her.

to sleep" she said. Everything will be all right
in the morning. It's only the smuggers his
happens regularly one night in every month.
During the next day many children and Wo-
men made furtive calls at the house trying to
sell materials and deicaces which had been
smuggled in the night before.
Katherine was just beginning to ENJOY her
visit and all the unusual adventures when she
was cabed to return to Hollywood TO start work
in Charlie Chan at the Olympics" Very sadly
she made her plane reservations and packed.
Now that that trip is all over" remarked
Katherine upon her return home, II am start
ing on my budget again for the next adven-
ture. First, | am stocking up on things that /
need for few weeks. Then back to the $500
week scheme of things. My Cartagena trip
has demonstrated that it worth what trivial
sacrifices the budget involved"

didn't know which to fear mOst-the gale or
the drunken mate.
During the ensuing month in Cartagena, one

hostess. giving out gifts and chatting with the
lepers in the colony near the town Nor was
that the last she was to see of the lepers. Two
weeks later the entire town was alarmed when
the news spread that the lepers were on strike
and had deserted the colony. In small boats
they descended upon Cartagena and did nothing
more than hang silently around the Prncipal
streets The strike was occasioned by snort
age of food When it was explained to the lepers
that the shortage was due to the lateness Of
the supply ship they all returned to the colony
and the incident was forgotten
Another strange event happened one evening
while Katherine was lying in bed reading book.
Suddenly the light went out. She noticed that
all the lights in the house were out, and by

Katherine de Mile will go next. That all de-
pends on the amount she has saved by the
time the studio allows her another leave OF alb

in Ireland but that is only a matter of the
moment.

them
"In the meantime-I am young and the worlo

Katherine de Mile is the type of girl who
knows exactly what she wants, knows how to go
about getting it, and, above ALL has the inte
gence and the stick-to-itivness to pay her OVID
way.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-12-04
Forcing the Issue

One more hit-and-run fatality in Wa terbury is indication of the fact that there is a waning lack of responsibility for law and order among us today. A good many people have been aware of that for some time and have done all in their power to combat the apathy of the American people. The situation is not confined to Waterbury alone; 1t can be traced to almost every community in the nation. Some people lay the blame on the World War and claim that we have not vet recovered from its effect. That may be true, but 19 years after is long time to be postwar conscious.
 Lack of moral strength in the motor ists who infest our streets and highways can mean only one thing. Ultimately we are going to restrict the roadways to those who are fit and competent to drive automobiles. This may have serious effect on the industrial life of the nation, but that can't be compared to the lives of thousands of men and women which must be sacrificed year in and year out. We must call halt some time and rees- tablish those values which once weighed heavily in this nation and which proved mans worth.
 After 1t doesn't amount to anything at all if the United States mounts to the topmost rungs of the business ladder, so long as 1t is found wanting in spiritual qualifications. People need to forget more about the easy side of life and to dwell on the sterner realities which we face in this world and sooner or later must come face to face with in the next We can't continue to shift our responsi- bilities or to put off till tomorrow duties that are patently today's. We must face the facts squarely. Motorists must accept responsibilities; must be laW-abiding; must insist that their fellow motorists be the same.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-12-04
Look to the State

Failure of Yale University authorities to look with either favor or sympathy on the proposal of Dr. Charles L. Larkin of this city that mecca" for cancer Suf- ferers and persons afflicted with other chronic ailments need not dampen ell- thusiasm. There Is still the state left. And we're wondering If perhaps the state is not the best solution of this problem which medical men believe Is as import. ant one to confront us as was, perhaps, the dread tuberculosis years ago.
 Dean Stanhope Bayne.Jones of Yale Medical School says the university has neither the means nor the facilities" for establishing a cancer clinic or hospital. He pointed out in his capacity as chair man of the Jane Coffin Childs Memorial Fund for Medical Research that the mil. lions available cannot be used for hos pital purposes but must be applied to research Into the "causes and origin of cancer.
 pr. Louis P. Hastings of St. Francis Hospital, Hartford, in discussing Dr. Larkin's remarks at the Connecticut Public Health Association sessions earlier this week intimated that government sub- sidization might properly be the answer to the problem. When private help falls, generally recourse is had to public. Here seems to be one instance where 1t may be necessary for the state to branch out and provide, possibly, an institution for treatment of cancer. We have gone long ways in caring for the tubercular patient, almost regarding him as a ward of the state. It may be Ehat he Is no Miofs so than the cailcerous individual.
