DECATUR HOUSE,
HEROISM SHRINE.
FACING OBLIVION.
ICkeS Heads Patriotic
Group to Save It

Continued from Local Page)
Jackson Place. and within its
walls have lived some of the coun-
try'S most famous and important
naval and political figures.
BUILT WITH PRIZE MONEY
1t was built in 1919 by Commo-
dore Stephen Decatur, with prize
money awarded him for his heroic
successes against the Barnary pi-
rates. Like the rank by which he
was known, that of commodore,
which has passed from naval
usage, this first private residence
on jackson Place may soon vanish.
Decatur himself lived but a year
to enjoy his beautiful home, hav-
ing been killed in a duel at the old
Rladensburg duelling grounds in
an affair of honor" with Commo-
dore James Barron.
FEDERAL AID PLEDGED
Secretary 1ckes brought out the
historic significance Of the build
ing, and mentioned the fact of sew
eral sporadic attempts by small
groups and historical societies to
acquire the property. He said:
There is no question in the
world but that this building
should be preserved, and could
be preserved with Government
assistance if an adequate move
ment to that end should be i'm
mediately developed.
There is every disposition
on the part of Mrs. Truxton
Beale, the present owner, to be
more than generous in a dis.
position Of the property for his
torical purposes. It is my hope
that such a movement may be
Immediately begun, and that
those present will in some man.
ner inaugurate it."
REDOLENT WITH HISTORY
On leaving her house in Lafay-
ette Square after the death of the
Commodore, Mrs. Decatur leased
It to Baron de Tuyl, the newly ar.
rived Russian Minister, who left
Washington in 1925. He was fol
lowed in Decatur House by Henry
Clay, then Secretary of State to
John Quincy Adams; by Martin
Van Buren,, afterwards President
Of the United States.
The house was occupied for a
time by Edward Livingston. of
Louisiana, whose brother, Chan
cellor Livingston. swore in George
Washington as President. Later
it was the home of many foreign
among them Sir Charles
Vaughn and Baron Hyde de Neu-
vile.
In 1886 it was sold to John
Gadsby for $4,000 and was later
occupied by Joseph Gales, Howell
Cobb. George M. Dallas and Ju-
dab P. Benjamin.
PASSES TO BEALES
At the close of the Civil War it
was purchased by Gen. Edward
F.. Beale, who there entertained
Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant.
It has since remained the prop
erty Of the Beale family.
President and Mrs. Roosevelt
have sponsored efforts to restore
it, and leaders in most of the ma
tons patriotic societies have at
some time endeavored to acquire
the home of the great Commodore
whose famous toast is known to
every schoolboy:
Our Country! In her inter.
course with foreign nations may
she always be in the right: but
our country, right or wrong!"
PLANS TO BE LAID
The house is already a museum
Of historical treasures. and a col
lection of paintings by the de-
Signer Latrobe are here preserved.
1t was announced that a COM
mittee would be formed at once
to formulate some plan by which
a national campaign may be slim
ulated to save Decatur House for
posterity, and preserve it as it is.

Speaking of Sports
White Hope Era
Forecast With
Louis Victory

OLD-TIMERs who saw Joe Louis
- polish of Max Schmeling in
two minutes and fifteen seconds in
their recent championship fight in
New York are predicting that an
other open season for White Hopes
looms ahead-a season reminiscent
Of the almost forgotten days of a
generation ago when Carl Morris,
Jim Flynn, Luther Mccarthy, Frank
Moran and Jess willard were
crowding their way up for a chance
at the heavyweight belt which dusky
Jack Johnson had won from Jim
Jeffries.
But it's going to take a mighty
good man to give Joe any compe-
tition, on the basis of his sensational
knockout of the crafty Schmeling.
From all appearances he is going
to be the top-man heavyweight for
a number of years to come. There
was considerable doubt about that
before the fight, particularly in view
Of his knockout in 1886 by Schmel-
ing and his Indifferent showing a
while back against the mediocre
Tommy Farr.
Joe showed he was a great cham
pion, though, and finally made good
the predictions made about his fistic
genius two years ago when he was
knocking all opposition cold and be-
fore he met Schmeling the first
time.
Schmeling wasn't in Louis fight
this time. It was a massacre from
the start. Louis smothered the puz-
zled German with fists and had him
on the canvas almost as soon as
the fight started. He clubbed him
down twice more before the fight
was stopped. The kidney punch
which Max said disabled him and
which necessitated his having hos
pital treatment afterward for a
broken vertebra was delivered after
Louis had rocked Max with blows
to the head.
The Ely miner., 1938-07-07
Night Clubs Out

Baer claims he is in condition
and that he will train faithfully and
this seems to be borne out by the
facts. He has cut out the night club
stuff since his marriage and the
birth of his son. His decisive vic
tory over Tommy Farr of England,
more decisive than Louis scored
over Farr, indicates he is telling
the truth. He is only twenty-nine
years old. When he's right he can
hit hard enough to knock anybody
out.
If Max can't stop Louis and the
odds are that he won't, then Galen-
to and Barlund are all that stand in
the way. That is, until modern
crop of White Hopes begins to fight
its way up for the chance to meet
the Brown Bomber.
An interesting sidelight of Louis
recent retention of his title is the
fact that it is likely that soon five
of the nine worlds pugilistic cham
pionships will be held by colored
gladiators. In addition to Louis,
John Henry Lewis is light-heavy-
weight champion, Henry Armstrong
is welterweight and featherweight
champion and undoubtedly will win
the lightweight crown from Lou
Ambers when they meet in New
York on July 26.

Storing Silverware.-f silver
ware which is to be stored for

Sunlight in Rooms. - There
should be direct sunlight in every
room of a house at some time
during each day.
Don't Scrape Tin Dishes.-Tin
cooking dishes should not be
scraped, as scraping exposes the

which may rust.
Hanging Pictures. - Paste a

On the wall.
Paint Brushes.-To clean paint
brushes simmer them in vinegar
for 80 minutes and then wash in
soapsuds. Whitewash splashes can
be removed by rubbing lightly
with a rag dipped in hot vinegar.
Paint stains on glass will yield to
a rub with a cloth dipped in hot
vinegar.
