Famous Early Washington Conservatives

1898 there was considerable discussion
as to its location, and deputation waited
upon the Commissioners Of the city and
urged the south park of the Presidents
grounds, but as the object was for the
enjoyment of the public, it was seen fit
to establish 1t in the reservation between
First and Third streets, and between
Pennsylvania and Maryland avenues,
near the Capitol. The topography OF the
ground, however, was most unlnvlting.
The Tiber flowed across one end OF 1t,
and most of it was low and marshy, and
exposed to the ebb and flow of the tides
In the Potomac.
In 1922, the Botanical Society OF
Washington was incorporated by Con-
gress. The society, prior to its 1ncorpor-
alton, through the individual efforts OF
those interested in botanical researches
and investigations IN the District OF
Columbia, had prepared full list OF
plants, and as early as 1877 had arranged
them according to the Linnaean classl-
fication and the more fashionable ar
rangement Of Jussieu.
Under the auspices of the society, the
marshy portions of the grounds were
dredged and converted into small lake,
into which the tide continued to ebb and
flow. A few of the native trees were
planted, consisting of fine oaks, button
woods gums and persimmons. The only
vestige remaining of these primative
efforts at botanical garden are two post

Allied states, but there is no reason why
English workers should not express their
thoughts and feelings emphatically to
such people in Russia as are putting
this silly-cunning rubbish over us.
The Russian revolution needs British
support at least as much as Britain
needs cooperation in Russia. We shall
march toward separate disasters If we
do not get together in common vision
of the future We stand between Russia
and an extremely powerful mass of anti
Bolshevik prejudices in America the
work largely of silly and reckless Com
munist propaganda in the past, mass
Of prejudice and big business hostility,
which is only too ready for breach.
We have to control our own o-German
influences here. It was the resolute
insistence, upon hands of Russia" that
saved the revolution from Intervention
in the days of its growth. This liberal
and popular intelligence Of the British
people is being estranged more and more
by this Communist party foolery.
Will somebody in Moscow sit up and
take notice before this mischief becomes
irreparable?

according to L. H. Bailey was the son
of Joseph and Catherine Album, and
was born in York, Pa, April 25, 1859. At
the age of 81 he married his cousin,
Miss Margaret Album, daughter OF John
Adlum of Frederickstown, Md. They
had two children, Margaret c. after
ward Mrs Cornelius Barber of WASH
ington, D. c., and Anna Maria, after
ward Mrs. H. Dent.
They lived several years near Harve de
Grace, when Mr.. Album moved to Mont
gomery County, Md, where he lived for
a few years. His last change of resi-
dence was to the Vineyard, two miles
from Georgetown, D. c., where he died
March l, 1896.
1t was at the Vineyard that he first
began the cultivation of grapes. He was
a soldier in the Revolution, a major in
the Provisional Army during the admin
istration of the elder Adams, and after
ward a brigadier general in the Militia
of Pennsylvania. 1t is said of him that
as a scientific agriculturist he had few
superiors He devoted almost the whole
of his life to the acquisition and diffusion
of useful information. In early life he
was a great friend of DR.. Joseph
Priestly of Northumberland, and the
knowledge he acquired of chemical
science from that learned philosopher
he applied with signal success to vari-
Gus agricultural operations. His wife
died at the residence of their daughter,

Private Conservatives.
Since the Federal Capital was moved
to this city there have been a number
of private nurseries and conservatories.
OF these, the nurseries of Joshua Peirce,
whose estate known as Linnaean Hill, Is
now part Of Rock Creek Park, was the
first general nursery in the District Of
Columbia. Joshua Peirce also conducted
a nursery within the city limits on tract
said to have included about 54 acres.
This, of course, must have been before
the streets in the outlying parts of Wash
ington were opened up, and the nurseries
were somewhere in the neighborhood Of
where once stood the washington Hos
pital for Foundlings, 1751 Fifteenth street
NV. The principal part of his town
nurseries extended from within the
boundaries of Fourteenth to Sixteenth
and from r to T street.
But as to Linnaean Hill. This is pic
turesque old residence, fully in keeping
with the station of a country gentleman

Old Adlum House.
The old Adlum house was until recent
years directly east OF the Bureau Of
Standards, or at the southwest corner
of Connecticut avenue and Pierce Mill
road. 1t was last known to be in state
of decay.
Maj. Adlum does not appear to have
had a general nursery, but seems to have
satisfied himself with growing grapes
and making wine, being more Of vim
yardist or viticulturist. He cultivated
the vine with marked success.
It's related as historic fact that the
great success of the Cincinnati pioneer,
Nicholas Longworth, in the making of his
celebrated wines, was due in the first
instance to the grape cuttings he OBJ
tanned from John Album.
OF course, credit must be given to Mr..
LongWorth as being the Luther Burbank
of his day, for his genius in certain re-
spects was so great that some one once
said: IF Mr. Longworth was to be sud-
denly thrown neck and heels into the
Ohio River, he would come to the surface
with new variety of fish in each hand
Which might mean he was as good
fisherman as he was grape grower. But
his fortune was primarily made from
grapes

Logging is one Of the hardest physical
Jobs known. and war is piling up the
problems of keeping the tough descend
ants Of Paul Bunyan on the job.
Example: Loggers, whose gastronomlc
capacity is legend, customarily consume
2 pounds of meat per man each day
with trimmings. OPA has reduced log
ging camps to the same meat quota as
restaurants and tearooms. The loggers
say they simply don't get enough to eat.
So some of them go to other war
industries: some have been drafted.
The remaining loggers are resorting to
all sorts of extra effort to keep the
timber falling.
In the Pacific Northwest they work
what is called the "hoot owl" shift in
the summer, from 2:30 am. to about
noon, in order to minimize the danger
Of forest fires
Last winter they sometimes had to
dig through 8 feet of snow to get
to the base of tree to start cutting
on it.
Latest complaint of the industry is
that the price ceilings placed on logs
in April used last fall as base period.
Ceilings on logs mean ceilings on
wages to the operator, who contends
ne can no longer compete on the labor
market with other war industries.
Otherwise the industry says the Gov
ernment has been helpful in allotments
of equipment. About e5 per cent Of all
logs are moved by truck these days, and
If requirements for trucks and tires
were not provided, logging would be
seriously hampered, the industry says.
So, say the lumbermen, l943 produc-
ton depends primarily upon the labor
the lumber industry gets, lumbermen
say.

When the Luxembourgers read this,
they shook their heads and said: He

ual can only have two of these national
characteristics. Either Luxembourger is
Germanophile and intelligent, then he
can certainly not be honest. If he is
Germanophile and honest, then he can

'FIomine Righteousness

From the Topeka Capitol.
Back in 1881 q Frenchman, De Toe
queville, came to the United States to
investigate our prisons and social life
for his government. He wrote lot
about America, much Of 1t applicable
today. For instance:
II sought for the greatness and genius
OF America in her commodious harbors
and her ample rivers, and it was not
there -. in the fertile fields and bound
less forests, and 1t was not there in
her rich mines and her vast commerce
and it was not there -.
mot until went into the churches of
America and heard her pulpits flame with
Righteousness did I understand the secret
Of her genius and power. America Is
great because she is good: and II America

"'It is too small for an ornament at

At state dinners, however, 1t is often
filled with flowers and placed in the
smoking room.'"
The end of the conservatory, next to
the War, State and Navy Building, was
built at the suggestion of Mrs. Cleveland
in 1888. and it was at her instigation
that the last remains Of the old rose

Botanic Gardens.
Perhaps the most important of the
early conservatories in Washington is
the Botanic Gardens, the nucleus Of
which-so far as structures are con-
cerned-consisted of four greenhouses,
located in the square between Seventh
and Ninth, and G streets, at least prior
to 1886, when the single squatter then
living on the property in log cabin was
elected, and the present old Patent Office
Building begun. This site was originally
designated by LEnfant for national
cathedral, which, of course, never ma
terialized.
1t was the intent of the early city
planners to locate this garden upon one
of the extensive reservations which had
been set apart for public purposes. In

Using resins made from lignin, wood

The uses Of plywood have extended
to the building of gliders, fuselages and

NJ thin wood glued together with the
grains running crosswise.
When the Undersecretary of War spoke
OF wood in terms of weight, he did SO

is equal to piece of unfinished wood a
foot square and an inch thick.
The Nation used $4,000 100000 board

at which trees mature-about 32,00000O,-
600 board feet annually. This deficit
was made up by dipping into stocks and
inventories-both wholesale and retail
all over the country. In many cases
these were wiped out; that's why there
are shortages in some areas.
For 1943 the requirements of war are
estimated at just about the yearly growth
