IN DAYS OF OLD
FORTY YEARS AGO

A horse, hitched to the delivery
wagon of Offutt & Sons, became
frightened at a train of cars at the
freight station here and ran away. The
vehicle was considerably damaged.
William R. Offutt and William J.
Shartzer were ready to return to An
napolis to resume their studies in St.
Johns College.
The Oakland Hotel, owned and oper-
ated by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company, was to close on Sep
TENDER Is after having enjoyed the
most prosperous season in number
of years.
Squirrels about Oakland were more
plentiful than for many years.
A chimney at Wong Sings laundry
took fire Saturday night but was ex-
tinguished before any damage result
ed. The Celestials in the laundry were
paralyzed with fear.
RESOLVED, That as a body OF
teachers we condemn the use of alco-
hol and tobacco by the teachers, and
we also condemn the habit of those
male teachers who sit in the school
room with their hair parted in the
middle and their pants in their boot
tops.

a sink or other working units a few
inches too low, are continually uncom-
Portable because they are working at
units few inches too high, or walk
miles from one unit to the other in
order to get work done. Many of these
things could be eliminated if only one
would make thorough study of
kitchens before building and even
the old kitchen can be rear anged at
very little expense.
The height of the sink above the
floor is one of the most important fac
tors in reducing fatigue Of the home
maker, as nothing can be more trying
than to work at a sink which is just
few inches too low or too high. No
definite height can be set for kitchen
sinks, since some homemakers are
much taller than others. For this
reason careful consideration should be
given to the height of the sink in re-
lation to that of the person who has
to work at it most of the time and it
should be adjusted accordingly.
While location of water pipes and
drain are determining factor in the
location of the sink, it is important to
have proper lighting and ventilation.
1t is also important to consider the
relation of the sink to stove and cab
inets where silver, dishes, cooking
utensils and foods are stored, since
great deal of food is prepared at the
sink and it is the center of dish wash
ing.
A fact overlooked by many when in
stalling a new sink is to leave the
space directly below the sink open in
such way that plumbing can be
reached easily. Some homemakers
find it more convenient to leave this
space entirely open so that one can
sit on a high stool and do work while
others prefer large-door opening
with shelves for storage space. 1t is

.LAST-PLACE TEAM
WINS HUNT TROPHY
Gets Orange County Award
When Leaders Fail to
Stick on Course.
BY ROBERT B. PHILLIPS, Jr.

- ULLA, Va, April 3-That
7 biblical inscription to the ef-
feet that the first shall be
IL last and the last shall be first
held true here today to the last inch
as the Orange County Hunt ran Off
It's annual point-to-point races before
a crowd of almost a thousand specta-
tors.
In the first event, an open race for
gentleman riders, Horace Moffett won
handily after a 7l2-mile gallop across
country on Robert B. Young's Frost
Cake. Then in the second test, for
teams of two horses, Mofett again
wound up in first position on Mrs.
John Hay Whitneys Sky Painter
Cpaired with Mrs. Whitney's Saltarello,
which had Mrs. Peggy Keith Hamil-
ton up) but the cup award was made
to the team that finished last.
This quixotic business came about
because Moffett, setting the pace in
the second competition as he had in
the first. went on the wrong side of
certain point on the course and
took the second, third and fourth
teams with him. Only Mrs. Robert
Young on her Two-byTwo and Arthur
White of Middleburg followed the
correct line, and although they fin
ished absolutely last the victory was
theirs because all others were dis
qualified.
Uses Moffett as Guide.
IN THE individual race, three of the
six starters were well known as
previous winners In the Spring point
to-point season, and Frost Cake alone
was dark horse. Moffett. who hunts
in the Orange County country regu-
larly, was relied upon as pacemaker
and guide, and he rode a splendid
race to add the name of the Young
entry to the list of winners In Vir-
glnia cross country races this year.
Second went to Mrs Crompton Smiths
Mary Barry, recently winner of the
Middleburg Bowl and the Redland
Hunt Cup, but unfortunately the vic
tim of an accident at the last Jump
| today which cut her up rather badly.
In third place was Hubert Phipps'
MISS OCOICH, winch won tne warren
ton point-to-point in March, and
| fourth by neck was Miss Nancy P.
Hanna's Gone Away, a Washington
owned hunter that captured the light
weight race at Middleburg a fortnight
| ago. A Mackay Smith of the Blue
| Ridge Hunt came in fifth to win the
cup awarded the first man riding at
over 200 pounds to finish the course.
| The winners time was 17252.
| All Start Together.
| THE team affair was run differently
from the usual order Of these
things. and thereby produced both a
better race for the riders and specta-
tors, and the confusion that turned
matters topsy turvy. Instead of send
| ing the five teams away separately to
cover the route in a race against time,
all were started at once. creating .
far more spectacular scene.
According to the discounted scores,
Moffett and Mrs Hamilton should
have won. with Denny Skinker Of The
Plains and Mildred Gaines of Warren
ton second-but all that counted for
naught in the end.

A UGUSTA, Ga, April Bobby
Jones isn't going to win the
masters golf tournament, but he's
moving up in the affair in which he
has been the headliner and leading
figure for four years.
Bobby rested tonight in twenty
eighth place in the fourth edition Of
the Augusta national links jamboree,
a considerable jump up from his
forty-th third place of the opening day
and in a better spot than he enjoyed
at the finish last year when he wound
up in thrty-third place.
Bob is exactly IT shots behind
.lanky, somber-faced Ralph Guldahl,
who is pacing the pack with one
round to 90 with a 54-hole total OF
2O9, which happens to be 7 shots
better than par.
Favored by better weather than
the Jones tournament ever has had
in its four short years of competition,
the As men gathered here for the
miniature national open champion
ship are taking the Augusta course
apart, scoring better than they have
in any previous tournament. A par
round of 70 for Guldahl today will
break the previous winning mark by
one shot. Gene Sarazen, who is far
back in the ruck tonight, tied with
Craig Wood at 282 in 1885 and won
in the play-off.
