ROUNDUP 50-37

With Dantic burning the strings
for 10 points, the Laurel Locomo-
tives dumped the Roundup FATHERS
in a southern B conference game
last Friday night, Jan. 81. A
third-period splurge of Is points
by the locals spelled the defeat for
the Panthers, who bowed to Laurel
by a 1922 count earlier in the
season on the Laurel court.
At the end of the first quarter,
Laurel led III and widened the
lead to 22-14 at the intermission.
Then with Dantic scoring on four
buckets in the third stanza to lead
the 1S-point scoring spree on be-
half of the Locomotives, Laurel
entered the final canto with a 4O-
Is lead. The befuddled Panthers
found the point margin too great
even though they staged a 19-point
rally against the Laurel reserves
i'll the fourth quarter. The high
point man for the Panthers was
kcnczka with 10 tallies.
Laurel was accurate on the floor
shots 80 per cent of the time, find
ing the range of the bucket on IS
out of SO tries, while making IA
out of 81 free throws. Roundup
proved less effective at the hoop,
making only 20 per cent of the
field goal attempts and as per
cent of the free throw attempts.
In the preliminary, a smoothly
functioning Caboose aggregation
tripped the Roundup "B" 1925.
The locals held substantial mar
gins at the end of all the quarters
and at halftime led 1910. Meyers
was high for Laurel with II points,
Pratt led Roundup scorers
with 8 points.

Tip for HOmemaker

Keep a bottle of transparent nail
polish in your sewing box. When a
garment arrives at your home,
touch the center of each button
with the nail polish. This seals the
threads SO they won't unravel. It's
q life-saver for mems shirts.

Desert Grapefruit

The desert grapefruit industry is
of comparatively recent origin. AL
though grapefruit have been grown
in the United States since about
1909, when paintings were made
in Florida, it was not until 1890
that trees were set out in the
desert.

the latter addressed them from
the balcony.
Just who occupied the house in
the exciting times when the Brit
fish troops burned the Capitol and
other buildings is not certain.
About 1928 Mr.. Champion, who
was the British minister. lived in
this house. He was suddenly re-
called and his furniture and be-
longings were sold. some Of which
were bought by Judge Hagner's
mother.
About 1888 the house was bought
by William Hayman, who carried
on a brewery at the corner of
Twenty-seventh and K streets. He
erected the back building and put
up the granite steps and iron rail-
ing in front.
During the war OF 1861-5 the
house was without a tenant. and
by order of Secretary of War STAN
ton it was used as place of
shelter for refugees from the
South. many Of whom fed to this
city to escape the ravageS Of war.
BY some means-whether by acci-
dent or design is unknown-the
roof of the front building was
destroyed by fire, but the floors
were of such solid wood that they
did not readily burn. The third
story was damaged but was readily
repaired. In 1867 M. c. Hart, who
was connected with Col. Forney in
the publication of the Chronicle.
purchased the property, had a roof
put on and repairs made. and
moved into it.
In the winter of 1883 Mrs.
Jane G. Swisshelm occupied a
room in this house, during which
she wrote her book, Half a Cen
tury." which was published in
1880. She was a pioneer in the
movement for reform in the law

port without rejecting French
rule.
Meanwhile, Indo-C China is cost
ing France perhaps 81 million a
day. and trade is crippled.
Malaga also is turbulent. The
Communist victory in China has
reinvigorated Chinese Communist
led guerrillas in Malaga. Despite
heavy British outlays, the dis
orders are more severe than they
were a year ago.
A big question is where the
Chinese will stand. Chinese COM
prise nearly half the people of
Malaga and the bulk of Singa-
pores population. Will they stand
firm with the land of their resi-
dence, or swing to support what
they regard as resurgent China?
Despite the guerrilla troubles
Malaga is smiling under one of its
great rubber booms. Currency de-
valuation and American purchase
policies respecting synthetics have
put the industry back on its feet.
Indonesia. the newest free couns
try in the world, is writhing in the
birth pangs of independence. Con-
fronted with monumental political
and financial problems, it is alb
Sorbed in the home task of estab-
fishing law and order and putting
the government on stable basis.
Not interested in joint pacts
against Communists, it wants
mainly to'be left alone.
In the Philippines, too, guer-
rillas have blighted the four years
since American overlordship end
ed.
Throughout Southeast Asia,
several trends are evident.
Guerrilla disorder is in the
ascendency. 1t is the hardest
kind of opposition for a govern
ment to fight.
But as Communist pressure on
Evening star., 1950-05-07

the region increases, guerrillas
can be expected to flourish.
In one country after another
internal political stability is yet
to be achieved. Functioning re-
publicanism as we know it in the
Western world is very hard to find
in Southeast Asia.
For the most part, Southeast
Asian governments are controlled
by nationalist groups who use the
forms of republicanism and hope
to put reality into them.
Economically the region has
not yet got back on its feet.
Today, except for Malaga and
the transshipping trade of Hong
Kong, Southeast Asia is not pro-
ducing surplus wealth either for
Europe or for itself. Tremendous
economic rehabilitation remains
to be accomplished.
With many common problems,
the countries of Southeast Asia
are intensely individualiStic.
Now emergent nationalism is
so strong, economic ties so few.
and strategic concepts so limited
that there is little regional con-
sciouSness.
Each country Is supersensitive
in its determination to run its
own show.
Yet throughout the area in
ternal turbulence Is coupled with
an uneasy sense of impending
doom sometimes expressed,
sometimes just felt. Not every
body feels it. but many do. To a
visitor the mood seems much like
that of 1941, when the Japanese
were lowering over the fringes of
Southeast Asia.
This time it is the Communists
from China who are feared, When
will they come? How will they
come-by invasion or by infiltra-
ton? How can they be stopped?

Gen. Washingtons Visits
By John clooett Proctor

George washington had no
trouble to find a place to sleep
when he visited Washington on
March %. 1871. The first Presi:
dent and the commissioners. ap-
pointed by him. easily found
lodging at Suffers Tavern. at least
temporarily. Subsequently. he
stopped at 2618 K street NV. the
home Of Thomas Peter. son Of
Robert Peter. the formers wife
being the granddaughter Of Mrs.
Washington. Robert Peter was an
original proprietor.
In 1866. Christian Hines pub
lished his Early Recollections Of
Washington City," and here he
says that in 1895 he lived with
his father at the corner of High
and Market streets, Georgetown;
that he had seen "all the Presi-
dents of the United States from
George Washington to Mr.. Lincoln.
inclusive" and that the first time
he saw Gen. Washington was
when he came up in a boat and
landed at the lower bridge. at the
foot of K street north. and stopped
with his nephew. Thomas Peter,
esq"
On another occasion Mr.. Hines
says he saw Washington in the
year 1893. when the latter crossed
the Potomac in a ferry boat near
the present site of the Aqueduct
Bridge. On each side of Water
street, from the foot of High
street to the bridge, the citizens
were ranged. while Gen. WASH
ington passed along. uncovered
and bowling to the people. He
adds: 81 recollect the Georgetown
College boys all formed in a line

and nearly opposite to where /

he had crossed the bridge, and
as he approached the house of
Thomas. Peter. his escort, the
volunteer companies of George
town fired a few volleys and then
all dispersed. I had no oppor-
tunity of seeing his face distinctly
on account of the crowd. but I
remember he was a very large
and tall man."
The fact that Gen. Washington
was in the habit of stopping at
this house is corroborated by the
statement of John Cranch, son of
Judge w. L. Cranch, who said that
on Gen. Washington's last visit
to this city he stopped with Mr..
Peter. At that time there was a
long balcony in front of the
house. The Georgetown College
