Johnny Robertson is glowing
with pride because Marvin Moore
burned out the bearings in cer-
tain kind of automobile. Usually
a dealer doesn't glow with pride
about something like that, but
Johnny has a reason. He says it's
a marvel the darned thing is in
existence at all. Marvin, it seems,
told a trusty at the county Jail to
fill the machine up with oil prior
to trip to San Diego. Then Mar
vim drove all the way to San
Diego before he noticed something
was radically wrong. He looked.
The trusty had used linseed oil
to refuel the motor.

The news item further states:
"A picnic party of Epworth Lea

reaching the grounds at about 1890
o'clock. The rain was falling, but
1t did not dampen their spirits, as
they repaired to the amphitheater
and enjoyed themselves as only
young people can until nearly mid
night, when they started homeward.
The first hymn to be sung under the
great roof was the old favorite one,
Nearer. My God, to Thee"

OLD CONDUIT ROAD
Attractive Section on Banks of Potomac Was
Scene of Efforts to Develop Big
,Chautauqua Center.

ORIGINALLY. there was but one
~ conduit along Conduit road, but
In 1925 q second conduit was COM
pleted, thus doubly increasing the
water supply which Washington may
now depend upon. The total daily
capacity of filtered water at present
available Is said to be in the neigh
borhood Of l85 100000 gallons, esti-
mated to be sufIicient until the year
1895.
Within the memory Of many the
old Cabin John Hotel, conducted by
the Bobbinger brothers, was one of
the most delightful places on the
Conduit road back in the nineties,"
to rest and refresh ones self after
pedaling q bicycle over what was
then a rough macadam surfaced road
for about seven miles-and this was
about the best road around Washing
ton at that time. But the Bobbingers
always had plenty of drinks on hand
to quench a thirst, and this could
be lemonade or something stronger,
depending upon the desire of the Gus
toner
In 1889 the foundation for a new
pleasure resort was laid when the
twin brothers, Edwin and Edward
Baltzley, came here from Philadelphia
and bought 20 acres Of the farm of
William Reading. to the east Of Cabin
John Creek, which they named Glen
Echo-on-the- Potomac" and referred
to the latter as "the Washington
Rhine" From the first, at least, it
appears that it had not been the in
tention of the Baltzleys to make of
Glen Echo q pleasure resort, but
rather to develop 1t into a high-class
settlement.
Whatever may have been the orig
inal idea OF the Baltzley brothers.
1t was not long before they con-
cluded to erect on the property a
number of large and expensive
amusement buildings at a consid-
cradle cost.
On November 20, 1890, the place
was visited by destructive fire, and
the loss fell very heavily on the own
ers, who realized-but not soon
enough-that they had sunk for
tune in an enterprise which was
planned just a little too soon. The
Baltzleys then sold out to the Chau-
tauqua Association, which got OF to
a very good start, but also suffered
a great loss in the end.
THIS association oegan constructive
work on the property at once,
and by May q. 1891, the press said:
Since the laying of the corner
stone at Glen Echo work has gone
steadily forward on the great build
ings. The last arch on the stone
work of the amphitheater is now
completed and the timers and roof
ers are making the hills echo the
noise of their hammers as they push
the work through"
The pipe organ was said to be

sound almost too bad to be true. The
account reads:
THE Glen Echo resort, with its
handsome buildings and Improvements
and about 20 acres Of ground, has
been purchased for $4,000 from the
trustees representing the building as
sociation, which held the first trust
on the property. The building as
sociation is in the hands of receivers
and the trustees were compelled to
sell the property to close up its af-
fairs. The land and Improvements
cost the Baltzley brothers Of Phila-
delphia originally many hundred
thousand dollars. 1t Is understood
that it was sold to the Chautauqua
Association for about 100000
The Chautauqua Association failed
in its efforts to make the place pay
expenses A trust of $4,000 was
placed on the property. Later a sec
ond trust Of $1,000 was placed on
it. The Chautauqua Association was
obliged to give up the property, and
IL pdSSCQ AIlOO Vic VI IllC
ing association which had made the
first loan.
The sale Of the property has not
been confirmed yet and it is thought
possible that the Chautauqua AS
sociation may be able to recover it..
It is understood that If the asso-
ciation is able to offer a better price
than $4,000 within 10 days it will
be given the preference as pur-
chaser"
A FTER this, Glen Echo, at one
time, was owned by the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Co., and
Alonzo P. Shaw leased 1t and turned
it into an amusement park 1t was

lights, a new feature at that time,
were used. An outstanding feature
was the magnificent organ, said
to be the finest in America, which
was ready for the dedication services.
1t was operated by water power, be-
ing supplied from a small stream,
probably early known as MAYORS
branch, and over which the amphi-
theater was built, and which still
flows through the grounds.
Joe Lynch, So years old, an en-
ploye Of the Glen Echo Park Co.,
lived six miles up country at the
time the organ was in use, and says
its tones could be clearly heard that
distance. 1t was IS feet wide and
q feet long.

E Eggs Better Graded.

THE great improvement in quality
Of eggs reaching the market Is
attributed to the program Of grading
eggs at the time OF purchase, which,
was launched in West Virginia about
nine years ago.
The spread Of this practice all over
the United States resulted in Federal
grading last year Of = million cases.
The grading work Is increasing yearly.

United States Highway No. l, the
Quarles farm is general farm, rails
ing fair amount of poultry. The
flock was divided, $50 hens being
placed in q building not equipped with
electricity and $50 in another build
ing which was equipped with electric
lights that were turned on early in
the morning. The lights were then
kept on until 8 o'clock at night. The
check on egg production showed that
the hens in the lighted building pro-
duced about three dozen more eggs a
day than those in the unlighted build
ing, with resulting increase of about
$18 month in the Quarles' income,
from one-half of the poultry flock.
With electrification Of the second
building the egg income went up to
$36 monthly.
IN ADDITION to this graphic ex-
ample of the accomplishments Of
electricity in rural life, it was proven
by actual use and check-up on cost
that savings affected by using elec-
tricity instead Of acetylene, in using
electric refrigeration instead OF ice,
the electric radio instead Of the bat
tery set, more than covered the ex-
pense Of the electric bill every month.
On other farms in this community,
the Use Of electric brooders for chick
production is demonstrating marked
savings to the farmers.
The way in which the idea is
spreading and gaining enthusiastic
interest in the various farm commune
ties Of this country is an index of the
progressive outlook Of the present.
Gay American farmer.
Generally the request for the loan
to make electrification possible comes
from cooperative association. This,
in some cases, has already been formed
for other purposes, such as buying or
selling produce, or in community in
terests, and In other cases it is formed
for the sole purpose OF securing elec-
trification funds from the Govern
ment.

There was a large choir connected
