Near these trees the gallows was erected.
When the time arrived he was taken In
a cart to the place of execution, attended
by priest. When mounted on the plat.
form he was asked II he had anything to
say. His reply was: When a mans
character is gone his life it gone These
were the last words he ever spoke. He
then cast his eyes above him, as if look
ing at the sun, and the next moment he
jumped off the platform with the rope
around his neck, before the Jack Ketch'
had time to draw the cap over his face.
The priest, whose name was Young, in
stantly shouted to him: 'McGurk, don't
hang yourself The executioner imme-
diately ran up the steps and tried to
pull him on the platform again, but he
could not succeed further than to get
his feet on the platform, his body still
swaying off; SO he jumped off again and
while dangling in the air some one below
hastily cut the rope which held the drop
and it fell. McGurk made three or four
convulsive struggles with his arms and

his life was gone.

10 years. Once a month she flies home
to do a week of whirlwind work and to
see her husband and 5-year-old daugh-
ter Jessica. Her son, William Hobby,
jr., years DID, is at school in Arizona.
The idea that women wanted a GER
tain kind of news was right down Mrs.
Hobby's alley. Her paper gives them
fashions and budget advice, notes on
landscaping and gardening. recipes and
club news.
'The Bureau Of Advertising has
proved" she said. that women may
read the same national and international
news as men, but that they also read
club pages, women's pages and women's
features.
Women, more than men," she ex-
planned, "are accustomed to thinking in
terms of individuals. A lifetime of
thinking and planning for their hus-
bands and their children has trained
them to appreciate personalized news as
against distractions Women read the
same news that men read, but they
want local application-or shall we
say, the human side of the news"
So, in her new job, Mrs. Hobby wants
to spread the news far and wide that
"the new Army is the best-fed Army in
the world, that its health is the highest
in the history of this country, and that
every possible provision for the welfare
Of our soldiers is being made as quickly
as is humanity possible in the fast-eX-
panding defense program"
But she doesn't intend to be content
with making general statements about
how wonderful things are.
II want to get all the health stories
I can," she said. women will be inter-
ested in the program of preventive medi-
cine-the serums and inoculations. They
will be glad that the boys get almost

far better care than they could have In
most homes.
I'VE want to get human interest sto-
ries," she continued, ito prove to wives
and mothers that their boys are well
fed. Under Mary I. Barber. the Army
nutrition expert. the men get green
vegetables, leafy vegetables and a quart
of milk a day. Mothers will chuckle,
recalling that they could fix balanced
meals at home but couldn't always make
their sons eat them.
I'm the Army they have to eat them.
It's all they get" Mrs. Hobby laughed.
They can't dawdle over dinner, then go
out in the kitchen and fill up on tomor-
rows pies.
Mothers who have seen to it that their
boys went to Sunday school and church
naturally want to know if they have the
chance to attend services in camp. We're
getting material from the Bureau of
Chaplains about the provision for Jew
ish, Protestant and Catholic worship. A
story like the one recently on Father
Ryan's portable church for the 64th Coast
Artillery "a trailer with a movable altar
illustrates what I mean. And many
women do not know about the 500-odd
chapels being built in the various Army
camps"
AS the U. S. o. program expands there
will be a wealth of new material on
recreation, she added.
Women's organizations have written
asking for material for study groups, Mrs.
Hobby said, land we plan to get out
pamphlets-kits of information-for their
programs and speakers. We also will
send out material twice week to house
organs which have requested it."
In addition to furnishing facts to
papers, radio stations and clubs, Mrs.
Hobby hopes to make arrangements for
groups of women. designated by the or
ganizations to which they belong In vari-

Pretty. buoyant Oleta Culp Hobby,
tackling her new Army job with the
same enthusiasm she has shown in re-
vamping one department after another
on her husbands Texas newspaper, Is
about ready to tell American women
what they want to know about the Army
First she had to find out from inter-
views, research and from letters which
poured into her Office after she was
made expert consultant to the Secretary
of War and chief of the women's inter-
ests section of the public relations divi-
sion.
Mothers, wives and sweethearts of
boys in the new Army, she reports, want
details and proof when they get anxious
about such things as these:
What happens when Sergt. x gets
pain in his tummy or a sore throat?
Does Pvt. Y get enough to eat and is
it the right food?
What chance does Corp. @ have to 60
to church?
Is anybody seeing to it that Pvt. z
gets some wholesome fun when he is off
duty?
So health, recreation, religious oppor-
tunities and nutrition became the four
planks in her women's interest platform.
Then this 36-year-old woman organizer
had to devise ways to get such infor-
nation to women. She has gathered
small staff together and much of the
spadework has been done for getting the
facts out to newspapers, radio stations,
trade journals and women's clubs. But
Mrs. Hobby still is brimming with ideas.
I'VE began from scratch" she ex-
planned in an interview this week at the
crowded Office she shares with half
dozen other people at the War Depart
ment. mo precedents. No files. No
staff"
She had appeared on the dot for an
early morning interview, looking very
youthful in tan corduroy belted suit
with gold buttons and buckle and green
jersey blouse. The perky little gold hat
which she tossed on the desk had jaunty
feathers in a cluster of bright yarn
flowers. Her high-heeled brown alligator
pumps matched a huge alligator purse.
Graying, dark hair, bobbed, was done in
soft rolls off her face. Her voice was
soft, but animated.
1--WE sent out 400 letters to get the
names of women's editors Of papers all
over the country" she went on. I'VE
asked radio stations for the names Of
their woman commentators. Letters have
come in from mothers, women's organ
izations and house organs in different
industries"
"I can't tell you how nice people have
been," she said emphatically.
The idea that there were many things
of special interest to women in the
building of new Army came from Maj.
Gen. Robert G. Richardson, until re-
Gently head of the Army Bureau Of Pub
lie Relations, Mrs. Hobby said. When
she was asked to organize the new sec
ton she was busy as executive vice
president of the Houston (Tex) Post,
doing thorough survey of the papers
accounting procedure. She talked the
offer over with her husband, William
Pettus Hobby, Post publisher and former
Governor OF Texas, and they decided
that she could not refuse to make what
ever contribution she could.
So she came to Washington, bringing
along as executive assistant Mrs. velma

Equipped for Defense

Tradition has it that this old log
house was equipped with portfolios for
defense in case of attack by Indians or
wild animals, such as wolves and bears,
which were still to be feared when the
original house was built. Indeed the
story even goes so far as to include
the burying of an Indian chief in the
cellar, where he might sleep until called
upon to take up his abode in the happy
hunting grounds.
Though James White was unquestion-
ably of patriotic impulses, yet just four
years before the signing of the Declara-
ton of Independence he received a direct
grant of $50 acres, the tract being known
as Pleasant Hills, and lying close to
Turkey Thicket and Mount Pleasant.
Both of these tracts. the writer is told,
make up the Soldiers Home grounds,
which include just a few more acres
than the number mentioned in the grant.
In 1859 Zachariah White tprobably a
brother to Capt. James White, was
granted tract of 301 acres, called Part
nership. which adjoined Groves Hunt
ing Outlet. Kendalls Meadows and
Fletchers Good Will. Upon one oc-
casion Capt James White received a
power of attorney from zachariah
White, which would lead one all the
more to believe that they were brothers.
In the senior James Whites will are
mentioned Groves Hunting Outlet,
Groves Neglect and Partnership, the
latter being the tract of land upon
which the old White homestead re-
mains standing today.
Just whether James White did or did
not serve in the Revolutionary War is
not certain, but it is quite evident that
his son. James-sopetimes spoken of

Gus communities, to visit nearby camps,
see the men at work and play, and to
learn rst-hand what actual conditions
of Army life are. These women then can
report to their organizations.
Another of Mrs. Hobby's ideas is that
newspapers in towns near camps might
cooperate by having reporters get human
interest stories from the camps of par
ticular interest to women for use locally
and then send that information to head
quarters, where it would form reservoir
of material to be redistributed.
Mrs. Hobby fairly bubbles with ideas
An associate said that her husband teas
ingly told her once: Anybody who has
as many ideas as you have is bound to
have some goood ones"
Since she joined the Houston Post staff
early in 1882, Mrs. Hobby has made revo-
lutionary changes in the paper. although
she previously had had no newspaper
background.
She studied to be lawyer. took a job
as secretary to the Jurisprudence Com
mittee of the Texas State Legislature to
get in extra training while still in law
school. At 20 she became parliamentarian
of the Legislature, coupled that part
year job with one as assistant city at
torney at Houston later. At 26 she mar
ried former Gov. Hobby.
Soon after their first baby came she
wanted to put her apparently boundless
energy to work again, and Mr.. Hobby
talked her into doing a research job on
the Nations newspapers for the Post.
Upshot Of that was streamlined formal
for the paper. She wrote book reviews
for the next three years collecting rare
volumes is an avocation, and in 1886
became assistant editor.
1.-TWO years later" she recalled, "the
chairman Of the board told me had been
elected vice president. "I'n never forget
it. He was so cute When asked what
that was, he replied:
"It simply gives you the right to do
what you're doing anyhow-putting your
nose into every department of the
paper"
So she studied editorial departments,
and revamped the one at the Post. Then
circulation was added to her budget
and she worked out a novel system of
distribution. She made studies in turn
of the advertising and mechanical de-
partments. Two floors were added to
the building-one for an up-to-date
composing room. Now she is stream
lining the business procedure of the
paper. Meanwhile, she served as city
or State chairman for numerous welfare
and cultural drives, went horseback
riding with her son, reveled in imag-
NATIVE games with her second child,
Jessica.
Her secret, friend declares, is that
she sees the whole picture of whatever
she Is doing. She rises above details.
Another associate stresses her tremen-
dous energy, great resourcefulness and
creative ability.
When she has big problem to solve
perhaps something as unfeminine as how
to align Linotype machines most eff
ciently-she's apt to do housekeeping
job in her Office Install a soundproof
cork ceiling or clean out the files.
She's done many important jobs
this new uncommissioned Army Official
but she doesn't act important. As she
turned to another appointment, she
flung over her shoulder:
IF I can help you any way-any
story-any material-that's what I'm
here for"

Abandoned Graveyard

But one of the most interesting Sec
tions of the cemetery, to the writer's
mind, is the part where are buried many
of the bodies removed from Holmeads
Burying Ground when that graveyard
was abandoned about 62 years ago. and,
according to The Star of october IL,
1879, it ceased to be a cemetery in ac-
cordance with an act of Congress ap-
proved March of that year. The act
provided as follows: THAT all the right
and title of the United States to and in
square No. 109, the City of washington,
commonly known as Holmead's Gene
terry, be, and the same is hereby granted
to and vested in the District of Co
lumbia, and shall be used by said Dis
trict for public school purposes, and
for none other. The Commissioners of
the District, or their successors in Office,
may at any time sell any part or the
whole of said square, but the proceeds
of such sale or sales shall be exclusively
invested in sites for public schools or in
the erection or purchase of school build
ings, and shall be used for no other
purpose whatever But before making
any disposition of the said square, the
District of Columbia shall remove all
the bodies remaining inferred therein
to some suitable burial ground, together
with all tombstones or other monuments
remaining at the graves from which the
bodies are so removed"
"The aforementioned square is bound
