Chesapeake & Ohio Canal, a part Of

Georgetown, and which was commenced
on July 4, 1929 However, both canals
met in triangular shaped and walled
basin which occupied large section Of
the northwest part Of the Monument
grounds. beginning at Fifteenth street
and widening out toward Seventeenth
street, beyond which all was then water.
But after all, Potomac Park, par
ticularly, will best be recalled by the old
timer when it was just the Marshes or
Flats, and when Washingtonians went
cunning there for snipe, reedbirds and
ducks. However, as the population OF
the city increased, the gunners multiplied
accordingly, with the result that it was
rare day during the cunning season
that some one was not killed or injured.
Finally the conditions became so critical
that the shooting of game on the Flats
was prohibited.
Naturally, credit is due to number Of

shore Of the Tiber not more than two or
three hundred feet from where he and
his brother were catching driftwood,
which was in the vicinity Of Seventh

buried on the south side of the Tiber

streets, now a part of the Department

until 1878, but prior to this the site was
occupied by one or more small frame
residences and shops, for it was here that
Samuel w. Lloyd lived and had his
carpenter shop, and where his daughter,
who became Mrs. Willis, was born. From
1861 to 1865 this same ground was
occupied by part of the Quartermaster

reflect such care, such planned atten-
ton and such study. That the progress
of our armed forces in this war seems
greatest in the matter of personnel was
being brought straight home to me on
this visit
This training has been rigid in tho
extreme, true test of manhood. Every
second accounted for, every minute ex-

eating, sleeping = all under orders.
It's a tough system It's grueling

looking like all OF million dollars with

with me forever. Greetings, tears that

is the spirit.
For months have been privileged to

later after maneuvers, trained soldiers,
saluting with snap and courtesy, buttons
polished, uniforms pressed, everything in

in the mud and dust, going without

food. yes, sir, my platoon will take that

Parents Are Thrilled
Every mother and father, wife, brother
or sister, grandmother or grandfather,
has noted the change In these boys
when they come home from training
camp. The listless youngster of civilian
days is gone. Instead there's new
snap, new respectfulness, a new atti-
tude toward life. They are clear-eyed,
straight of carriage, 'on the ball." in
the military sense of the word. It's
great privilege to play on the winning
team, and these boys know it.
