Buried Treasure!
What magic there is in these
words! Breathes there & man,
woman or child with soul so dead as
not to thrill to the thought of 1t?
They conjure up colorful pictures OF
the Spanish Main, pirates, pieces OF
eight, doubloons, dead mans chests,
bottles of rum, etc, which usually
stimulate the imagination for few
moments and pass harmlessly away.
Sometimes, however, the visions
become so strong that men actually
give up good jobs and go of on
treasure expeditions armed with a
pick, a shovel and an old map. 1t
might be thought that an old map
Is hardly reason enough for ex-
travagant hope-but If it is found
in an old book, has an X-mark on
it somewhere, and is made OF parch-
ment, it is automatically assumed to
be the real Mccoy. Many a man
has kidded himself into believing
he was on the trail of the notorious
captains treasure, only to fail
The buried treasure instinct Is a
direct holdover from childhood. Fur
thermore, the reason that 1t does
not always share the fate of Santa
Claus and get dashed to pieces on
the rocks of disillusion is because
children often have great success at
finding buried treasure. All they
need to do is to refrain from putting
their money on long shots like pi-
rate boards, lower their require
ments a peg or two, and turn to q
more fertile If less romantic field
the nearest junk pile.
The trouble is that parents, par
ticularly mothers, have such an un-
reasonable prejudice against this
form of treasure hunt. They would
save themselves much worry and
quite a bit of money If they would
face the facts as they are and not
Just as they would like them to be.
Few things are more annoying to
parents than to scrimp and save for
months to buy expensive playground
equipment, only to have the kids
scorn seesaws, trapezes, sliding
boards and swings and revel in some
junkpile instead.
Story Of . Ride.
In order to appeal to the mothers
of America to take a broad view of
the problem and remove their arbi-
trary ban on junk as juvenile
pastime, typical experience will be
related concerning the father of two
youngsters, aged and 8, who took
them out one lovely summer day
for a ride of exploration in the
country along q woodland road.
Birds were chirping, squirrels were
frisking, and all seemed perfect, un-
til abruptly the road ended right

failures. To his credit be it recorded
that he put his No. II foot
down and vetoed, without exception,
all the fruit and vegetables, although
there was considerable complaint
Of a decision of his against several
that he called out when the kids
thought they were safe. He also
won a few minor skirmishes in con-
nection with Clipped glasses, but
usually lost when they were intact.
AS a mark of each and every defeat,
one more article of virtue would be
loaded into the car.
Prepares Tor Scoop.
In time the interior of the vehicle
resembled a pile of giants jack
straws. 1t contained a melange of
glassware, crockery. spark plugs,
wire, fruit crates (for playing store
keeper and what have you. The
piece de resistance was an object
that seemingly had once been a
home made radio of the vintage of
1918. 1t weighed about Is pounds,
and was a bristling and confusing
mass of coils, dials, switches and
wires, constructed after the Rube
Goldberg pattern. The boy proudly
announced that he intended to

use it to communicate with Mars.
In the interests of science, his
father reluctantly consented to &C
cept 1t. At any rate, no one could
accuse him of being an obstruction
ist to progress.
Just before departure he lost
another battle. He espied couple
of buckets, and remembering that
he needed some at home, surrepti-
tiously looked them over. They were
old, but serviceable. Already his
far-seeing mind had solved the prob
lem of how to account for their
presence when he got them home
He would hide them behind the
furnace, and after a day or two,
bring them proudly forth. telling
his wife that they had been there
all along. That way ne could get
by with them. But, alas. this was
not his day. He had almost sue
ceeded in smuggling them into the
car, when the children caught him
in the act. Later this was to have
almost fatal consequences.
AS the little party clanked home
ward the father became more and
more uneasy. When about 200
yards short Of his destination he
slowed down to quiet the rattle Of
the junk and give him some chance
of making surprise landing and a
quick debarkation of supplies. Just
as he was about to send the girl
out as an advance scout to see II
the coast was clear. the door opened
and their mother came out.
Serious Result.
Censorship forbids a full and
complete account of the debacle, but
it was pretty bad. In some mysteri-
Gus and unaccountable way the
children had become slightly soiled
by their contact with the junk. The
father insists that no serious dam
age was done. 1t could all be recti-
fed by an hours use of soap and
turpentine, and 1t was comparatively
easy to throw all the new treasures
on the family ash pile, with the pos
sible exception Of the Earth-to-Mars
radio station. Inspired by the
thought that civilization would still
survive, he opened q counter attack
and reproached her with being a
spoil sport. What possible selfish
pleasure, he said, could he get out
Of trip to junk pile? Was it any
fun for him to collect all this debris
and drag 1t home? No. a thousand
times no! 1t was done in a spirit of
| pure altruism.
Whatever chance he had of getting
away with this was promptly ruined
by the kids. With one fearful voice
they called attention to the two
buckets that daddy had salvaged. At
this point . merciful curtain will be

dropped to indicate the lapse of two
hectic hours.
The final straw that broke the
camel's back was piled on later that
fateful day, when the children
actually turned against their father
and demanded to know why he had
not foreseen the blitzkrieg coming
and been man enough to prevent
them from bringing anything home.
Yet even this blow did not crush his
indomitable spirit. He went out and
got those buckets back, bravely
hiding them in the bushes against
the day when the war would be
over and they could be brought
forth in triumph.
Agree on Peace.
1t is good to be able to state that
an honorable peace was finally
agreed upon, based on no indemni-
ties and no more annexations from
the junk pile. Reconstruction after
the civil war is going on apace, but
the scars of battle are still in evi-
dence. The Mars radio is gone for
ever, possibly to some more remote
treasure pile but in any case lost to
the family If not to science. The
buckets are enshrined in the garage;
a hollow triumph. because the chill
dren consider it gyp that out Of
all those priceless relics the only
ones saved belong to daddy.
These things should not be. The
proper way to avoid them is for all
mothers ofiicially to recognize the
junk pile as an asset In the lives Of
their offspring. and not liability.
After all it gets them out of doors,
thereby frequently saving the par
ents' sanity. After the little ones
have been whooping and hollering
indoors for an hour, driving their
mother only a short putt from the
asylum, why not send them out with
the rest of the junk, and bring joy
to one generation and relief to the
other?
What If they do bring lot Of stuff
home? That problem, too. can be
handled by means of a well known
German invention, the fifth column.
The plan is quite feasible, and will
scotch the junk problem for once
and all. Pay close attention To its
three parts.
Part /. Make the kids put all the
Junk in the back yard.
Part 2. Send them over to grand
mas for the afternoon.
Part 3. Telephone three or four Of
your neighbors' children to come
and get it while the getting is good,
and keep their precious little mouths
shut If questioned.
Purists may claim that this is a
dirty trick-but not politicians. The
politician Is practical. II nothing
else.

houses to be erected in the vicini'v
of the church and farther to the
north, and naturally this influx Of
people brought many new members
to the church.
Pioneers.
Only a few days ago, the writer
had the pleasure of an interview
with Mrs. Cornelius P. Clark, whose
parents were pioneer members of the
Immaculate Conception Church, and
trusting to her wonderful memory,
she mentioned the names of a num-
Der of early members of this church,
including Denis Callahan, Cornelius
p. Clark, the Armstrong family, T.
v. Noopan. Mrs. Mulally, the Nc
Cabes, Matthew Ryan, Charles CAL
lahan, an original member: the
ODwyer family and the families Of
Walter B. Williams, Anthony Gaeg-
Ter, Thomas Barry, John T. Howard,
John Lynch, Owen Shugrue, Eugene
Mccarthy, the Mars, Mahers and
DR.. Charles K. Koones.
Perhaps one of the earliest fami-
lies that attended this church was
that Of DR.. Joseph r. Cassin, whose
drug store at Seventh and M streets
was a landmark for many years,
DR.. Cassin having moved there prior
to 1860. His charming daughter
Miss Marie Cassin, who may be re-
called by many, married in this
church the late Charles Francis
Carusi, whose family for years also
worshipped here. Mrs. Charles
Francis Carusi is now the esteemed
vice chancellor of the National
University and mother of Eugene
Carusi of the local bar. and of Nine
Lombard, wife of E E. Lombard of
the French Embassy.
Exterior Completed.
The rectors of this church have
included the Revs. Francis P. Nc
Carthy. Stanislaus Ryan, Donald
Mari, Michael j. Riordan, Council
Francis j. Hurney and the present
rector, the Rev. John K. Cartright
Under the passionate Of the Rev
Mari, the exterior of the church
which had remained unfinished
since the time Of its erection, was
completed. A new tower was built
finals Of artificial stone were placed
upon the buttresses. the old iron
fence which surrounded the church
was removed and a new sidewalk
of cement was laid about the prop
erty, thus giving the church struc-
ture more imposing appearance,

so yards in diameter and 10 feet
high in places.
One glance at it was sufficient to
prove that its architects were rugged
individualists who worked under no
co-ordinated plan. While the tin
can and ash motif predominated
the builders had not been satisfied
merely with that. They had de-
parted from what might have been
the simple majesty of the clinker
and the tomato can and added in
congruous wings of broken bottles

there were turrets of fine old orange

Academy Anniversary.
The church which had been deco
rated under Msgr. Riordan for the
golden jubilee in 1915 has just been
redecorated for the 18th anniversary.
The entire interior has been painted,
with many incidental Improvements
including a beautiful altar of the
Sacred Heart of Italian and African
marble.
Tonight there also will be cele-
brated with services and solemn
benediction the 18th anniversary of
the Immaculate Conception Acad-
envy, which has for years stood at
the corner of Eighth and @ streets.
This academy, it is said, had its
beginning in the lower story Of the
church shortly after the building
was erected, and there still stands
at the southeast corner of Eighth
and N streets the modest dwelling
where once resided Sisters Mary
Margaret, Mary Agnes. Aloysia and
Cecilia. the academy's early in
structors.
The first graduates of this school
were Miss Mary Helen Mccarthy
and Miss Mary Lizzie Bolger.,

Mrs. Clark, whom the writer saw
a few days ago, is next to the Oldest

oldest being Sister Gabriel Of Boston

On Tuesday evening, November

organist of this church, will be hon.
ored for his 40 years OF service
Prof. Howard will give an organ
recital in the church at O'Clock,
to be followed by reception in his
honor in the school hall.
OF course, there was boys school
attached to the church, where Pat
rick Vaughn known to the boys as
"Corky" Vaughn because Of his
wooden limb and Miss Mary Nc
Carthy were the instructors. This
school will be referred to later.
The growth of the territory in the
vicinity of the Immaculate Church
during the past century seems mar
