War Food Administrator Marvin
Jones appealed to the War Depart
ment last night to make every pos
sible prisoner of war available for
work on farms and in food process
ing plants.
Warning there is a growing short
age OF food producers, Mr.. Jones
said State and local farm labor
agencies have certified to the VIA
a need for at least 250, 900 prisoners
OF war to help carry out 1914 food
and pulpwood production programs.
This would be about five times the
number of prisoners used for farm
work last year.

Alexandra Hospital Officials
decide toRoze 'FIounder| House

Despite q plea by the Thornton
Society to save the Sdowden "fioun-
der" house on the grounds Of the
Alexandria Hospital, and efforts Of
the hospital directors 10 nnd some
means Of retaining II, Robert q.
Whitton. hospital administrator,
said yesterday that the landmark
would have to be razed.
However, an eleventh-hour effort,
not yet ofncially presented to the
hospital board, came In q resolu-
ton passed Friday by the Ma
|tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, asking the board to
reconsider.
Arthur Demaray, member Of the
commission, said last night the reso-
luton will be forwarded to the hos
pital board tomorrow.
Mr.. Whitton said the Thornton
Society had been informed that
because two wings of the house
already have been destroyed and
keeping it would interfere with
lplans for the hospital grounds,
makes it impractical to keep the
house. The hospital has, however,
offered the society the privilege OF
moving the house.
'Not In Real Estate Business"
A spokesman for the society said
yesterday that the group Is not in
the real estate business and is q
purely educational organization at
tempting to bring the value of old
American homes before the public.
He added that because the hos
pital addition is being built with
Federal funds, and the city had
agreed, at the request of the Gov
eminent, to retain the character of
Washington street as a part of the
Mount Vernon Memorial Boule-
ward, it was particularly contra
dictory for the only founder"
house on Washington street to be
torn down to Improve the appear
ance" of the Federally constructed
hospital wings.

Theories as to the reason for the
construction Of founder" houses
are differ, but there are approxi-
mately IL genuine founder" houses
in Alexandria.
Numerous others have q rear por-
ton OF founder" construction. This
accounts for one theory, expressed
by Ward Brown, local architect, who
said he believed that in the late

INDUSTRY WIPES
OUT MART LOSS

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-P)-The
stock market turned the tables
on the bears today as steels and
other pivotal industrials wiped out
all their losses for the previous
trend.
The trend reversal began at the
opening and the advance rarely
faltered. Closing plus marks ran
to a point or so for most leaders,
with few isolated favorites jump
ing as much as 10. Dealings were
relatively active throughout.
Short covering and reinstatement
of commitments was based mainly
on the more optimistic war news
in addition to individual situations.
Some buying was attributed to the
belief the recent stumble had serv-
ed as a healthy technical correc-
ton.

she turned to him, forgetting as she did all but the need to justify Jon- athan and herself and 8 love long past.
 "There was no thought between us that we should do wrong. An, there was no thought of any but ourselves! !! Not even of little Michal.
 "The olives were heavy on the trees and the grapes ripening in the terraces, and the whole world was vivid with harvest. Dates and figs and pomegrantes." Her voice became very soft as she remembered that this was Jonathan's brother. "Men were gathering the ripened fruit, Joel Dost thou wonder Jonathan took myself. was ready and his Michal had not yet ripened into womanhood.
 Joel said sternly, Thou didst tempt him unlawfully."
 "Tempt Jonathan!" she exclaimed. But of course I did" she said quiet ly. There was never a beautiful woman who did not tempt Jonathan. Hast thou not learned from Mi- chal?"
 Joel gazed into the we'll of the past and Michals mocking voice echoed in his ears, T would not raise sheep to be seed unto thy brother Jonathan!'
 The lamb in Joels hand finished nursing and he put it down gently, aware of Flavia's impatince with the one she Seld. Doubtless she told and I did not understand" he acknowl- edged. T have been blind these many months and would not sec"
 F1avia felt the lambs side becom- ing warmer and plump as they ex- tended with plenteous milk.
 Jonathan had grater love for DruSus, my brother, than for me" she said. Theirs was friend- ship of years, and I was but 8 sea- sons pastime, although he never forgot that I had borne his son, his little Roman" ......
 Malachi ran into the past Joel visioned and he saw that Flavia was right. And Michal, also, for the child was like DrurSus.
 For that brief season, Jonathan was mine," she said. "Then Drusrs returned him to Michal, and my son with him!"
 Joel interruptd, protesting the in- justice done Michal. And Flavia re- minded him, "Hadst there ben no einjustic to Michal she would not now be sleeping with thy son beside her! If Michal had borne JonathanS children she would not have married thee. Rather would she hay gone to my brother, Drusus."

 Morning had flung an orange cape across her shoulders and 1t trailed m l1ntidy splendor over the sky as she hastened before the sun, when Flavia sought Joel.
 Flavia,s own shoulders were cov- cred with a disguisingly heavy robe, dark and rough, and 8 staff was III her hand. In the faint light she could have been mistaken for a shepherd's wife and none who knew her would in a glance have seen the mistress of Bethlehem's inn.
 Joel, with his arm about the neck of eve that had brought forth twins, held the sheep now on it's back that the small lambllngS might more easily nurse. It was GUS tomary thus to hold eve whose younr were too weak to nurse nat uaally, but it presented Joel with the problem of holding two small helpless creatures with one hand, while they drank.
 It was an exhauSting task, so that upon recognizing Flavia he was 1m- mediately angry with her because she was not Michal. She sat down by him and took a lamb into her own clean hands, knowing she would have to hold it until her arm grew weary and the lambs small sides had bumped out with dams milk.
 She stopped Joers impatient words directly. This day." she said, "thls day thou shalt look upon thy first born son, and thou hast thought for thy puny lamhs!"
 His firstborn son! Michal2
 ''Michal is sleeping" Flavia said, answering his unspoken need. And was all unprepared for the flood or bitter words he released.
 Joel was weary and his nerves fretted. All that night he had tended lambs and aided ewes in lambing. All night Michal's pain had wounded him. All night he had kept his hands oiled and he was sick of the smell of oil, olive oil. So he had tended sheep while Michal gave birth to their child! All night he had worked alone and worried without knowing why. He turned his un- reasoning anger upon Flavia. 50 my son is born! Doubtless Michal shall send him to Rome as she sent the son of Jonathan. If she could give her firstborn to the Roman gods, is it to be thought she will withhold the son of Joel whom she despises!"
 Flavia must hold the nursing lamb while she told him. For 1t is like that the great or tragic moments of life come to most of us, come while we do the humble task at hand and pride forbids our quitting, So Flavia found words to tell him, the shep- herd husband of Michal, words to tell that Michal, who had been Jon- athan's wife, was not the mother of Jonathan's son.
 "AIichal has not told thee? Nay, Michal would not tell thee what was not her secret to reveal. Malachi is my son.
 Malachi thy son!' he exclaimed in unbelief.
 We met at RacharS tomb, Jon athan and I. My husband was old and tyrannical and Jonathan's be- throthed was 8 child. And we were maid and man."
 So that thou transgressed the law"
 The law, Joel? Is there older law than that man shall seek 8 won1- an for his own when he has looked upon her and found her desirable? Is the law older than a woman's in- Stinct to give to her beloved?"
 F1avia almost dropped the lamb as
