Sir Charles Calvert, the Fifth Lord
Baltimore, died in 1851, and was sue
ceeded by his son Frederick as the
Sixth Lord Baltimore. He was twenty
years of age when his father died, and
had developed excessively bad habits,
spending most of his time in idleneSs
and loose living He did little for the
advancement of the interests of the
Maryland Colony; his chief attention
to Colonial matters being directed
towards the collection Of revenue from
the family's proprietary rights in
America with which to maintain his
expensive designations. He died in
1851 and left no legitimate offspring.
His father having anticipated the
probability of such an end, had pro-
vided in his will that Sir Frederick
eldest sister, Louisa, who was the
wife of John Browning, should inherit
the title of Baron of Baltimore. This
was resisted by Sir Frederick's lille
gitimate son, one Henry Hartford, who
was, after long proceedings in chan.
Gerry, proclaimed as Proprietary, and
was reluctantly recognized as such by
the Assembly of Maryland.
U. S. Ends Calvert Reign
And thus ended the reign of the pro-
prietary rights of the Calverts to the
Maryland Colony after six successive
generations Of the family, covering a
period Of about 140 years; for by the
time the controversy between Louisa G.
Browning and Henry Hartford cased,
the American Revolutionary War for
independence from Great Britain be-
gan, and Maryland, like all the other
of the thirteen original Colonies, for
ever renowned allegiance to the
mother nation, in the famous Declara-
ton of July A, 1776.

strong men were most needed to de-

interests and to convince the two Bril-
ish Kings, George and George II, OF
the urgent necessity for righting the
wrong which William Penn had com
mitted with the aid of Charles II and
his brother, the Duke of York, thai

Home Guards

AS the National Guard mobilizes
for a year of training, the States,
with the sanction of Congress and
the cooperation of the War Depart
ment, are preparing to organize the
initial units of Americas new do
mestic defense army" the Home
Guards. Secretary of War Stimson
has given the departments "benev-
olent blessing" to the battalions
which will watch the ramparts of
the home front while the militiamen
are in the field More than a million
rifles are available for the arming
of the new guard organizations, Mr..
Stimson said. Under the plan ap-
proved by Congress, the Home
Guards will be organized and super
vised by State authorities and
equipped by the Federal Government
TO the limit of available materiel.
The legislation was merely permis-
sive in its grant of authority, and
it is expected that some States will
deem it unnecessary to take advan-
tage of the law.
The Home Guards will be COM
posed largely of veterans of the first
World War-rcn who are a bit too
old to ecl"c their country in field
ara SD orgc:.Izations, but who, as
Mr.. Stiir-on explained at press
conference, are "chafing at being
forced to stand on the sidelines."
There is a definite place for such
guards in home defense work of the
type to which the National Guards
men have been accustomed Con-
gress did not intend, Of course, that
these would be "vigilante" groups
bent on rounding up saboteurs and
spies, for this responsibility has been
vested by the President in the Fed
eral Bureau of investigation and
the intelligence services of the Army
and Navy. But in explosions caused
by sabotage or otherwise, in riots
and other civil disturbances, in emer-
gencies of various kinds, the Home
Guards will be available for special
patrol, rescue and first-aid duties
While the act failed to mention the
District of Columbia specifically in
authorizing the formation of the
new protective force, it is assumed
by War Department officials that
Washington will be permitted to
organize a Home Guard if this
should be found advisable in the
future

against the academy" could not have
begun on this side of the Atlantic.
Such "primitives" as there were in
the United States in the pioneer
period were not willful experimental
lists. They drew effectively and used
colors adventurously because they
were unskilled, not because they de-
liberately desired to be radical"
Not even the mystic romanticist
George Inness wished to agitate the
public. Like Albert P. Ryder, he re-
fected the poetic movement of his
time-the movement in literature to
which Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow and James
Russell Lowell belonged.
But the modern liberals" are gen.
erously represented in the exhibition.
Robert Henri, Maurice Prendergast,
Arthur B. Davies, William Glackens,
George Luks and John Sloan have
their compositions hung in associa-
ton with the classicists whom they
deplored The show, therefore, may
be said to be as unrestricted as
American life has been-and provi-
dentially still is For that reason,
also, it merits national attention.

Priority for Defense

In issuing an executive order de-
creeing priority for defense contracts
placed with industry, President
Roosevelt has taken a step that is
clearly in the public interest. In
June Congress conferred upon the
Chief Executive the authority to re-
quire that Army and Navy orders be
given priority over deliveries for ex-
port or for private account. Acting
under the powers vested in him by
Congress, the President has approved
the establishment of prioritieS
board in the National Defense Com
mission and the designation of Don
aid M. Nelson as administrator of
priorities.
Under the Presidents order, the
board and the administrator are au-
thorized to establish priorities for
defense orders. In a statement is
sued following the publication of the
executive order, Mr.. Nelson pointed
out that there is no intention of in
stituting Immediately mandatory
priorities on all national defense
contracts. For the time being the
system of voluntary preference rat

Tells Story of Mortgaged
Wedding Gift.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Some years ago a New York man
riding in a gay limousine driven by his
own chaffeur, came breezily into the
Maine town where I lived. His smiling,
pleasant manner won many friends.
Among those attracted to him was
certain young woman whom he married
For wedding present he gave her fine
summer home on the shore of beau
tiful lake. How good it seemed to the
young woman's envious friends. After the
marriage it was learned that the wedding
present was mortgaged for all it was
worth. The man died, the glamour
vanished, the mortgage remained.
On grander scale the President has
won the friendship of millions by lavish
gifts Of dams, waterways, public build
ings and projects but they are not paid
for. If they ever are, those who now
think it is so fine, the toilers. must pay
for them with the sweat of their brows-
those of this generation, the next and
the next. The President did not spend
his money; the Government did not have
any; it was not raised by taxation; 1t
was borrowed with interest. There will
be q sad awakening of a disillusioned
people. The glamour will pass away. The
wedding gifts are mortgaged.

Opposes Underpass At
Scott Circle.

OSOss SASAS'
To the Editor of The Star:
I wish to correct the misleading state
ment contained in The Star editorial OF
October 10 entitled Scott Circle Under
pass" 1t speaks of the underpass lead
ing to the early elimination Of intolerable
traffic congestion at this important inter-
section"
I am in position as much as any one
in Washington to testify as to the traffic
at Scott Circle. having owned beautiful
home overlooking the circle for over 20
years. For several years have made 1t
a point to check the traffic at all hours
of the day and until midnight, and with
the exception of a few days directly after
the opening Of the underpass at Thomas
Circle I have never seen traftlc jam
unless there is sudden storm just at the
closing of Government Offices and a
stampede for taxicabs lasting about 80
minutes. Even then the traffic amounts
to nothing to those Of us who have ex-
perienced traffic jams in large cities
1QOSS INlllR Ill GlllS NlC4llAtSs lAtS bu'
drivers and taxi drivers with whom l
have talked have stated that we do not
need an underpass at Scott Circle. II
any one of the Park and Planning Com
mission lived at Scott Circle We would
not be planning an underpass now.
Would it not be just common justice
to defer the building Of an underpass
until the citizens of the District OF Co.
lumbia get the ballot? We property own
ers have bought our homes in this vicin-
ity because of its beauty and wonderful
shade trees that make downtown bear
able in the hot weather we sometimes
have in Washington, and why should 1t
be taken from us without our consent?
We have little to contemplate but sor-
row and sadness in this war-torn world
today at home and abroad and why
should we have added to our trials mud
and mire and noise and confusion OF
steam shovels and plows. which we have
Just undergone in the Thomas Circle
failure for one year and three months.
The property owners have protested
and protested. The people of Washing
ton have stood behind their government
and given in the draft the most precious
things they have to offer, their boys.
According to your editorial Of October 81
the citizens of Washington are contrib
uting 1000 "selectives' to the Army and
Navy, more than any one of is States.
Now Just what is that government will
ing to do for them? Ignore their protest?
hope not. D. Il. x.
