Rich Petrol Thames
In Wartime Service

All manner Of craft have been
pressed into service for the Thames
River patrol by Great Britain. A
body Of men, mostly Londoners, have
voluntarily exchanged more than
comfortable homes to sleep In tiny
hunks. Some are rich and many
were earning large incomes. Now
they get SIS Q week.
The river patrol began with private
organization. Men offered their
boats for the service. Most of them
are STEPPED in the lore of the river.
They had mastered all those odd
bits OF behavior which can make
the lower reaches Of the Thames
extremely tricky. Now they are
considered . front line defense

cluded 01 acres and which extended
from Woodley lane .and Rock Greek
to Florida avenue, crossing the creek
at p street, was sold to Thomas r.
Lovett, as trustee for his mother, for
$685. 900. In this sale Bomford re-
served the acre about the tomb, but
this provision was eyaded and upon
the extension Of Massachusetts, ave-
nue. the bodies reposing there were
finally removed to Rock Greek
Cemetery.
p At the beginning OF the Civil War
1t became apparent that the Gov
ernment would need q hospital for
contagious and eruptive diseases
and the mansion, being pleasantly
situated, was leased from the Lovett
family, who soon afterward moved
to Philadelphia. It continued to
be a hospital until 1866, when it
was given up by the War Depart
ment. Those in charge at that time,
feeling that farewell ball would be
the proper thing, decided to hold one
on Christmas Eve, and 1t came near
being the last Of Kalorama Man.
sion, for the east wing was entirely
gutted. In 1872 it was rebuilt and
entirely refurnished by the then
owner, George Lovett. In 1889, seven
years after the death Of Mr.. Lovett,
the mansion was raZed and the prop
erty subdivided into building lots.
Hoover Home Recalled.
On approximately the spot where
the historic old home stood for so
many years, a home was erected by
William A. Mearns. It was more
recently the home of the late E. j.
Stellwagen, and is numbered 23O1 S
street On the opposite side Of the
street, at number 230O S street, is
fine home where once resided for
mer President Herbert Hoover, and
at 2111 Florida avenue, q few blocks
to the east, is the Friends Meeting
House Of Washington, where Mr..
Hoover attended divine worship.
This neighborhood is well iden-
titled with the lives Of some Of our
Presidents, and in addition to those
mentioned, the home Of the late
President Taft stands at 224l wy.
oming avenue, and ut 2340 8 street
was the home Of President Woodrow
Wilson, where he died, February 3,
1924. President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt resided at 2131 r street,

and reared not far from Kalorama
Heights, says that Col. George Bell,
U. S. A., once resided in the old
Octagon house and that in her young
days, when Columbia road was
known as Lovers Lane" the young
folk in their summer strolls often
walked by this old but picturesque
dwelling.
Sentiment often plays an i'm
portant part in our destiny, and
though this might not have been
the cause that prompted the late
Mrs. Mary Scott Townsend, relict
Of Richard Townsend, to build her
mansion at 2121 Massachusetts, ave-
nue., it IS possible it was, since
the Holmead property extended to
and beyond this point, and most
likely it was a part of the 40 acres
purchased by Gustavus Scott, her
great-grandfather, from Anthony
Holmead, in 1894.
Railway Experience.
Mrs. Townsend's father, William
Lawrence Scott of Erie, Pa, had q
brilliant career in the railway world
and at the time of his death was
president of the Erie & Pittsburgh
Railroad. He was born in the Dis
trict of Columbia in 1923 and dur
ing his boyhood served as a page
In the Senate. Later he represented
Pennsylvania In the Forty ninth
and Fiftieth Congresses, after which
he retired from politics. He was
only one Of number OF native sons
Of Washington who have had to
leave the District in order to serve
in the Nations legislative body. Had
he remained In this city, as thou
sands Of other fine men and women
have done, he might have, some
day, served on a citizens advisory
council or something just as pow
erless. ...-
The Townsend uroperty. at the
northeast corner Of Florida and
Massachusetts, avenues, was pur-
chased by Mrs: Townsend about
1900. At that time there was q
residence on this corner, owned and
occupied by Custis. j. Hillyer, a
lawyer, whose partner was jackson
H. Ralston. Mr.. Hillyer had lived
there at least as early as 1873, and
his home was very nice one, but
not quite good enough for its new
owner. However, in building the
present palatial residence she die
not disturb the old one but built
around it.
Here she annually gave ball fol
her daughter, now Mrs. Sumne,
Welles. When President and Mrs
Theodore Roosevelt presented theil
daughter, Alice Roosevelt, now Mrs
Longworth, to society at the White
House the event was followed in the
same winter by ball for her in Mrs
TownSend's home. The winter when
President and Mrs. Roosevelt pre-
sented their young daughter Ethel
to society while in the White House
the event was followed by one Of
Mrs. Townsend's elaborate flower
balls in her honor.
In the following administration
when William Howard Taft was
President, Mrs. Townsend showed
the same attention to- Miss Helen
Taft, afterward Mrs. Frederick j
Manning, in the year she made her
debut at the White House.
Mrs. Townsend was almost the
only hostess in Washington who
fairly encompassed the question OF
precedent, entertaining the most i'm
portant officials, diplomats and
others without ever having a ques-
ton raised. She was considered an
authority on all social subjects.
Mrs. Townsend died March 23
1881, at her Massachusetts, avenue
home, now occupied by her daughter
and her husband, Mr.. Welles, when
they are not at their country home
at Oxon Hill, Md.

also a part of Kalorama Heights,
from. 1918 to 1920, when Assistant
Secretary of the Navy.
There is every reason for believ-
ing that the title to the area known
as Kalorama Heights and WASH
tngton Heights was vested in the
Holmead family during the early
part of the 18th century, but II this
was q grant from the government
of Lord Baltimore, 1t would seem
that something must have hap
pened to the patent granted to John
Langworth and which was laid out
October 8, 1896, for 600 acres for a
parcel Of land in Charles County
called the Widows Mite.
Old Charles County.
Charles County, Md, was created
in 1858, and until 1896, when Prince
Georges County was formed, it in
cluded the entire stretch of country
bordering on the Potomac from the
Wicomico near Blackstone Island
to the Blue Ridge and to the terra
incognita Gan unknown land) of the
frontier. Thus it will be seen that
what Is now the District of CO.
lumbia was once q part of Charles
County, later of Prince Georges
and still later of both Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties.
However, 1t Is said that James
Holmead, ST., secured q patent to
ut least q part Of the Widows Mite
included the Kalorama
Heights property-in 171s. and that
in 1741 said James, ST., decided to
James Holmead, jr., what was prob
ably this particular property. New
ertheless, James, ST., died intestate
in 1853 or 1854, and all his lands
descended to James, jr.
Record Of Estate.
A year later, it is said, the prop
erty of James Holmead, jr, was in
the hands of his heirs, and still q
few years later appeared In the
name of Anthony Holmead, who
died prior to May 5, 1905, for on
this date and at other times ap-
peared In the National Intelligencer
the following executors advertise

Either Way

Due to the difference of opinion
as to what type of outfit the wo.
men should wear the two weeks
previous to the Fourth celebration
it has been suggested that there
be variety In the dress observance
this year. Instead of wearing
strictly pioneer or cowgirl outfits
the girls are planning to change of
and take advantage of playing q
double roll, representing q pioneer
lady one day and cowgirl the next
However, the ladies must observe
this dress-up period in one garh
or another or they will no doubt
find themselves before the Kanga-
roo court.
