A meeting of interested parties
to settle differences over the dispo-
sition of Ferry farm, 470-acre plan
tation where George Washington
spent his youth across the Kappa
hammock River from Fredericks-
burg, Va, will be called soon, it
was announced today.

by telephone today with c. O'Conor
Goolrick, member of a commission
named by Judge Frederick w. Cole
man to dispose of the farm, and
asked him to call the meeting to
save the historic plantation from
the auction block.
After the conversation, Mr. Bloom

rangement will be made. There are
many ways in which the farm can
be developed into a shrine or park"
Shrine Suggested.
Several projects have been sug-
gested for making the property a
public shrine like Mount Vernon or
Wakefield. The site of Washington S
early days can be taken over by the
National Park Service of the Interior
Department or taken over by the
Government through an act of Con-
gress.
Mr.. Bloom said he felt sure an
agreement could be reached so that
the historic lands will not be auc-
toned.
He called on the women of the
country once more to get into the
fight to preserve a Washington
home.
THE women saved Mount Ver-
non and they saved Wakefield,
he said, land it will be too bad
If they let Ferry Farm go by the
boards. I feel satisfied 1t won't be
sold at auction"
Moves Intimated.
He intimated several moves were
under way to obtain the property
which then could be turned over
to the Government for operation
or developed privately as an his
torical site.
Judge Coleman of the Stafford
Circuit Court had ordered the place
auctioned for an estate settlement.
Date for the sale has not been set.
DR.. Charles Porter, associate re-
search oficer for the park service.
said today several proposals have
been made to have the Interior De-
partment take over the place. It is
up to committee on sites to make

chase, he said, but as yet the COM
mittee has not acted.

prietor of the Log Cabin Inn near

not had a license to sell beer since

the arrest on his own information
and had two bottles of evidence. VI
He declined to say whether he had

plenty to do to inspect those places
which have licenses" Chief Orme
said.
States Attorney Ben G. Wilkin-
son, jr., said this morning he would
be ready for trial when the case
is called tomorrow and had no in
tention OF asking for a postpone

politics and are merely enforcing

Dorothy Dix Says
Important to Be Kind at Home
AS Well as When Outside

We have no greater duty than to
make ourselves pleasant to live with,
yet there Is no other virtue that is
so completely ignored in their daily
practice by the majority of people
as this is. They consider that If
their morals are good 1t gives them
a right to have bad manners. They
fail to realize that it is not what is
in their souls that matters to us, but
the way they treat us.
In particular is it vital that the
art of making oneself agreeable
should find its great and perfect
work in the family circle, for no
where else are its rewards so rich.
Indeed, the success of every mar
riage depends upon it, There is no
shortcoming that husband will not
overlook in a wife who is amiable
and cheerful and who keeps him
buoyed up with her praise instead of
depressed and irritated by her criti-
cismS. She may lose her looks. She
may be a poor cook and a slack
manager, but no siren can prevail
against her because she is easy to
live with.
The Importance Of being pleasant
to live with goes double for hus-
bands. Many a women who is mar
ried to man who is leader in the
church and a model citizen and an
exponent of all the conventional
virtues, is bitterly unhappy because
he makes her daily life hell on
earth. He thinks home is place
where he can blow off all the tenn
per and nerves he dare not show
the outside world and where he can
vent all of his brutality on a de-
fenseless woman. He never speaks
