One Belonged to Slave.
OF unusual interest is a pitcher
with a bowl to 60 with it in plain
white ware, whose glaze is as smooth
as satin. Both the bowl and the
pitcher were the treasured possess
sions of little slave boy, and were
gift to him from a beloved mistress
who lived on a farm called Rocky
Marsh, near Martinsburg, w. Va, and
was a member of a branch of Mrs.
Clusters family.
Part Of Doll Tea Set.
Another quaint pitcher is one
which was a part of a dolls tea
set in the family of DR.. Stuart of
Winchester, Va. Often these doll
sets in Colonial days were exact
copies of fine patterns of English
or French china either sent to the
Colonies as patterns of the overseas
ware available, or ordered especially
by wealthy planters so that the play

many OF the very old ones being
the best pourers."
Some of Mrs. Clusters rarest and
most valuable pitchers. from q COL
lector's standpoint, have been res
cued from dump heaps. junk shops

help and the Opportunity Shop in
Georgetown. One of her very best
finds" came out Of the oven door
of a cookstove, about to be auctioned
of for junk.
When it comes to pitchers, Mrs.
Custer believes that beauty is in
the eye OF the beholder," and that
any pitcher becomes so endeared
to its possessor that she doesn't
want Ito part with it any more than
one would with q cherished friend"

Since her childhood days, collect
ing pitchers has been the ardent
hobby of Mrs. Cecil E. Custer of 4737
Fulton street NV, who is the wife
of the newly elected president Of
the American Federation of Govern
ment Employees.
Today, her collection of over 675
pitchers, believed to be one of the
largest individual pitcher collections
in the Nations Capital, not only
forms decorative feature of the din
ing room of their new home in Wes-
ley Heights. but has taken posses
sion of various bookcases in the
downstairs recreation room A din
ing room cabinet especially built
into the house for Mrs. Clusters
pitchers shows the rarer ones to
advantage, with its glass shelves
and cleverly concealed inner light
ing arrangement.
OF all sizes. shapes and kinds,
these pitchers have been collected
in almost every State in the Union,
and in % foreign countries.
Half a Drop Fills One.
They range from one of foreign
origin, so tiny that it has to be tied
on to the handle of larger pitcher
to be found, to large moss-rose
pattern one as graceful as an urn
The tiny one requires only half
drop to fill it. The moss rose pitch
er is of apparently the same era
as similar one once used by the
Lee family and now featured in the
Arlington house collection
A pitcher made in Bavaria to
simulate the queen of hearts has the
bluest eyes it is possible to imagine,
and looks for all the world like an
old-fashioned doll, masquerading in
a strange role.
Very few of the pitchers are du-
plicates of each other, and where
they are it is interesting to learn
that they originally came from
widely different sections of the
United States.
One of the oldest pitchers in the
collection is the first one Mrs. Gus
ter ever owned. It belonged to her
grandmother, who was a member
OF the Zook family at Cooks Land
ing, near zook. Md. 1t is in warm
brown tones. the same color inside
as outside, its outer face having a
pressed-in floral design OF exquisite
symmetry.

lis also associated with my very
earliest childhood memories and the
old homily, little pitchers have biz
ears. Not only was it kept filled

me and each other during their
choicest bits of conversation, as they
gave vent to this expression. I was
quite a big girl. too, before, because
OF it, learned that the spouts OF
lips of pitchers weren't their ears
Two very old and odd pitchers In
Mrs. Clusters collection have only
the merest indication or indentation
where the lip usually is. Instead
there is a row Of perforations ur
near the top edge to show how fal
it is wise to fill the pitcher. The
cream flows up through the handle
which has an opening at both its
bottom and top portion, the fluid
stream being just as free as with

Highwoy Officiols
Trying New Safety
Measures On Roods

HELENA-The state highway de-
partment is trying out two new safe
ty features designed to help mo-
florists keep away from road shout
ders in the night. and the system
that works out the best will be used
all over the state in future con
struction. according to State High
way Engineer Don A. McKinnon.
Under one plan, light colored rock
chips are scattered along the travel
lanes after they have been oiled
The tiny chips do not injure tires
or cause rough riding. but give the
highway a color lighter than the
black bituminous. The other plan
consists of putting the chips on the
oiled shoulders, making them show
up lighter at night than the high
way proper.
1t is believed that either of the
systems will help drivers keep away
from the road shoulders, so often
the cause of accidents at night be-
cause they are the same color as
the highway surface.
An eight-mile stretch of the light
ened highway is being tried out be-
tween Helena and Clancy, while a
12-mile stretch where the light chips
have been put on the shoulders is
being experimental with between
