And they wrote the colorful his

from the bottom Of Lake Michigan

the man-made island during the

80 acres blazed with color, and it
was the reception center for
foreign notables.
The islands centerpiece in the
days was the Lagoon of Nations,
bordered by the exposition build

tries. The flags of nations around
the world flew side-by-side in
peace gesture shattered by the sub
sequent march of dictators.

10000 See Opening
|0f B. & 0. Station
At Silver Spring

The new passenger station of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Silver
Spring was opened formally yester-
day, when more than 10000 viewed
the $4,000 building and an exhibit
of the latest type trains and old
equipment.
Emphasizing the great advance
made in train design, the famous
Thatcher Perkins locomotive, placed
in service in 1868, stood beside the
most modern train equipment OF
the day. Attracting special interest
was the two-unit Diesel-electric To-
connective, which hauls IA cars at a
speed of 80 miles an hour.
The high speed steam engine
which hauls fast freight or heavy
passenger service and the mountain
or Mallet type engine which is used
to haul freight over mountains also
attracted considerable attention.
The Navy's Victory Bond Special
was exhibited during the morning
hours. Among those who visited
the train were Fred L. Utes, Mont
gomery County chairman of the
Victory Loan Drive, which sub
scribed 167 per cent of its $500 900
quota.
The old Silver Spring station was
built in 1878. few years after the
railroad had constructed the met
ropolitan branch" to connect WASH
ington with its main line at Point
of Rocks. Md. 1t was used chiefly
for suburban travel until the growth
of Northwest Washington and
Montgomery County led the rail-
road in 1886 to designate Silver
Spring as a stop for its through
trains,

cestral home of the Magruders and
Bowies.
Erected by Capt. Enoch Magruder
before 1759-the exact date is un-
known-the house is one of the few
in Southern Maryland which has
remained in the same family with
the exception of a short period in
the 1840s.

the house for four days, beginning
September 4, 1772, on October 4
and 10, 1772, and on April IL, 1773.
The center portion of the table
on which he dined is in the hall on
the first floor. Atop the table is
the wooden letter box of Dennis
Magruder, bearing the initials D. M.
During Washingtons visits his
host was the well-known Tory min
lister. Jonathan Boucher. who. rented
the house during 1772-3. Boucher
came to Prince Georges County
from Annapolis. bringing with him
three pupils, one of whom was
Jackie Gusts, stepson of Washing
ton.
While at Mount Lubentia Boucher
was harassed by his political oppo-
nents, who one night came to the
house en- masse and threatened to
break down the door.
The house also is noted as the
place where all Prince C5eurpes

For ST. Johns, Barr Says
BY the Associated Press.

DS tHe hSSOCldleO HTesS.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. IT,
President Stringfellow Barr and the
Board of Visitors and Governors OF
st. Johns College hold that ''it is
abundantly clear that the Navy's
desire to acquire the ST. Johns cam
pus has not been proved to be es-
Isential to the national interest"
Furthermore, Mr.. Barr said in a
statement in behalf of the board
the Navy's proposal to acquire the
campus for Naval Academy expan-
sion proposals was submitted under
the erroneous impression that the
board was willing to sell"
Had the Navy representatives
understood the boards position at
the outset" he continued, the board
believes that the project might not
have been submitted"
Legislation to authorize the plan
is now pending before the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee.
Meanwhile, Senator Morse, Re-
pubulican of Oregon, a member oi
the naval committee, said in Wash
ington he believed "a reasonable
investigation of the facts in this
case will sustain the position which
the college has taken"
