A Tour Of Williamsburg Area
By WALTER w. HUBBARD

By WALTER w. HUBBARD
The motor trip down one
side of this peninsula and
back by another route will
cover about $40 miles, using
the Zero Milestone as a start
ing point. It Is a journey
which should not be under
taken in less than two days,
and it Is recommended that
an entire week end be used if
one is to absorb as much of
the fine historical and cul-
tural background as possible.
In planning the trip, it is
we'll to remember that over
night accommodations may
be secured in either Yorktown

Historically, the French con-

numbered the American
forces, and in addition pro-
vided a naval force which
contributed no little to the
great battle.

or Williamsburg and that
these two points are separated
by but IA miles over a fine
highway.
Starting south over U. 8. /,
we pass through Alexandria
and Fredericksburg, both of
which are eminently satisfac-
tory from a historical view
point. From Fredericksburg
we motor south over U. s. II
to where it joins State high
way 2. which we take to Bowl
ing Green, thence over U. s.
30l to Dawn and State 80
through King william, West
Point, Toano and into the
new "old" Williamsburg, ly-
ing almost midway between
the two rivers.
The metamorphoSis by
which old Williamsburg Is be-
coming old again through the
process of substantially re-
building all of its important
social, commercial and gov
ernmental structures, is one
which will interest and excite
the imagination of every
American who drives into that
city. At one time, Williams
burg was as important in our
national development as New
York, Philadelphia or Boston,
and for nearly a century be-
fore the Revolution it was the
capital of one of the most in
fluential of England's 13
American colonies.
Over the historic Capitol
Building flies an obsolete Brit
ish flag, just as it did during
the 18th century, when it was
seen by men like Thomas JET
ferson, George Washington
and Patrick Henry, who stud
led, did business or visited
there frequently.
Artistically, the restoration
of the age-old city is a con-
tribution to American arts
and crafts that no yardstick
can measure-from the Lion
and the Unicorn above the
gate, to the Palace of the
Royal Governors, to the ex-
quisitely designed Chinese
wallpaper to be found in some
Of its great halls. OF the Duke

RECENTLY I have received
many letters from people who want
to know just what can be expected
from the rice diet in cases Of high
blood pressure.
Like every other treatment for
high blood pressure, this one has
both advantages and disadvantages.
Its chief value seems to lie in the
fact that it is low in salt, and recent
studies show that . low intake Of
salt may be quite helpful in many
cases Of high blood pressure.
No Definite Reason
OF course, it goes without saying
that if the cause Of high blood pres.
sure can be determined, treatment
should be directed toward the eondi-
ton which is keeping the pressure
up. But, in many instances, NO def
mite reason for It can be found. II is
in these cases that the low salt diet
should be tried.

over for several seconds, while
Dicky slowered at him.

Twas glad to see Dieky catch back
the explosive protest on his lips, and

and touched my father on the arm.
"Dr. Twitchsll wishes 10 talk to

Pros and Cons Of Rice Diet
For High Blood Pressure

In no instance, however, should
such dieting be attempted without
the direction Of 4 physician, because
lowering the salt content of the body
may produce such symptoms as
weakness, sickness at the stomach
and muscle cramps, before 3 fall in
the blood pressure occurs.
Kidney Disease
In patients with severe kidney
disease and hardened arteries, the
low salt diet may be q factor in
bringing on uremia, q condition in
which waste products are retained
in the body. It has also been found
that the low salt diet must be fol-
lowed for . period Of weeks before
its effect on the blood pressure can
be determined. With this in mind,
you can see how necessary It is for
the amount Of urea in the blood to
be checked at regular intervals.
Only = physician can do this.
To increase the loss Of salt from
the body, certain preparations con-
tanning mercury may be given by
injection. When the mercurials are
used, the patient may be given q
more liberal diet. The mercurial
preparations are given by injection
about twice . week.
High Blood Pressure
In most cases, the patient with
high blood pressure and . normal
amount Of urea in the blood may use
the low salt diet together with the
mercury for q period Of three weeks
1t least, or until the desired effect
Of lowering the blood pressure
occurs. II . drop in the blood pres
sure does not result in this period Of
time, 1t Is not likely that . low salt
diet will have any value for the pa
tisnt. II the blood pressure does
drop, the physician will work out .
dietary plan that will keep the salt
content Of the body low.
II there IL sufficient damage to the
kidneys to make 1t necessary to cut
down the eating Of protsins, such

rice may Be used as the main source
Of calories and protein. Such pa
tients may take . quart to q quart
and half Of fluids = day.
Other methods Of treatment for
high blood pressure. such a. the cut

suggested. But these are drastic
and, before any surgery IL carried
out, 1t would seem the better part

EASIER PIE-MAKZNG}
~ MARION CLYDE MeeARRoll

lCADGETS galore for max
~ ing domestic chores easier
and quicker to romp through
are crowding the housewares
departments of the stores these
days. Hardly a day goes by
without new labor-saving items
taking their place on shelves
and counters, from there to
beekon the housewife into the
fulhlnent of at least some of
her dreams of less drudgery in
routine tasks.
Shown in the pictures are
two such items, these designed
for easier pie-making.
One Of them consists of two
sheets of thin, crystal-clear
plastic, one printed with four
circles of different diameters.
The pie dough is placed be-
tween the two sheets in the
center of the circles, then rolled
to desired size, whereupon the
top sheet is peeled off, and
the dough transferred to the
pie pan as shown. Since the
rolling pin itself never touches
the dough, but only the plastic
sheet that covers it, the need
for sprinkling flour on a board
or the rolling pin is eliminated.
The other gadget is pastry
litter consisting of two semi
circles of aluminium, each
equipped with handle. With
one Of these in each hand, the
pie-maker slides them under
her rolled-out pie crust, picks
it up as shown in the picture

explained he frequently uses his own

He said he likes to teach directly
from the Bible, though he does use
Bible helps in preparing his lessons.
On occasions he asks members OF his
class to take over an interesting
point in the lesson and to discuss 1t
for or 10 minutes. Sometimes Mr..
Dayton translates the Bible from its
original Greek to give nuances that
might be missed in the English
