How Kenilworth got its name
II can tell you that, too" Mrs.
Fowler. said. About 1895 a real
estate man named Allen Mallory
bought large area of the Miller
and Fowler farms. He started a
subdivision, and his wife, VINO had
been reading Sir Walter SCOTS
'Kenilworth,' thought that would
be good name for the develop
ment.
"The streetcar line was ex-
tended out Kenilworth avenue at
about that time, but it's charter
only called for service at 40
minute intervals. I have always
thought the subdivision would
have been much more successful
if the cars had only run at more
frequent intervals"

They told me there was nothing
to do but sign it. but I refused. .
The Governments contention
according to Mrs. Shaw, was that
the land had always belonged to
it. because it was land within the
high water mark of a tidal es-
tuary of the Potomac and the Po-
tomac by royal grant had become
the property of Lord Baltimore,
then of Maryland until the Sec
tion within the District was
decided to the Federal Govern
ment in 1870. 1t was up to her,
she was told. to recover from the
District the taxes on the land
the family had paid during the
past so years.

Bond Opponents
May Drop Suit
Action for Damages
Brings Proposal for
Withdrawing Appeal

Two Fairfax County residents
have agreed to withdraw litiga-
tion delaying sale of $11.5 million
IN school and court house con.
struction bond issues provided the
county drops plans to sue them.
News of the proposal was dis
closed as the county supervisors
were preparing to open a hearing
on a record budget of $6.2 million,
OF which $40 million is for school
Iexpenses.
Sale of the sos million school
bond issue and $780, 900 in court
house bonds has been delayed by
several suits contesting their
validity. Both issues were ap-
proved at referendum last May.
Willing to Quit Appeal.
Robert j. McCandlish, attorney
Tor the county. said Paul Rhine
hart, jr., and John H. King were
willing to withdraw their present
appeal in the bond issue LITIGATION
thereby clearing the way for the
sale of the bonds immediately.
OF course, I still feel we would
be justified in suing them" said
Mr.. McCandlish, "but would be
willing to recommend the county
accept their offer so we can sell
these bonds"
The' county supervisors and
school board last week authorized
preparation of $250,0OO damage
suits for malicious prosecution
against Mr.. Rhinehart and Mr..
King because their suits have de-
layed sale of the bonds.
Mr.. McCandlish said the school
board at its meeting tomorrow is
expected to consider the proposal
and the supervisors will probably
consider it at their meeting
Wednesday.
Could Begin Sale Soon.
Once the proposal is agreed to
and Mr.. Rhinehart and Mr.. King
drop their appeal, Mr.. McCand-
lish said the bonds could probably
be advertised for sale in about a
week.
At present, the bonds are due to
be advestised June %, by which
time it was expected that the lit
lgation by Mr.. Rhinehart and Mr..
King would be passed on by the
Virginia Supreme Court of Ap-
IpealS.
Mr.. King and Mr.. Rhinehart
sought to invalidate the bond
issues principally on grounds that
annexation proceedings against
the county might alter the coun.
tvs tax base. Bond ATTORNEYS
said. however, the annexation
proceedings in no way interfered
with the county's right to sell
the bonds. .~
/ Sale of the bonds will have no
effect on the school budget, how
ever, since no money was provided
IN 1t for construction.
MotOrcade Brings Parents
A 7l-car motorcade brought
nearly $50 parents and about as
many children to the courthouse
TINS morning for the hearing.
The parents want the. full $40
million school budget approved
without any reduction.
Other groups were on hand
however, to plead for a reduction
III the overall budget.
The Republican Committee O,
Fairfax County issued a Statement
calling for rs per cent reduction
In the overall budget, but asked
that teachers salaries be exempt
from any reduction.
1t is our opinion that the pres.
ent tax rate of $3.19 is entirely
adequate said Harris T.
Slchards, county Republican chair
man. The proposed budget would
require a tax rate of 1923.

Something ominous happened
The peace float broke down, hao
to be repaired. The new President
was just about through greeting
his paraders when the girls ar.
rived. He not only greeted them, hi
kissed Miss North and Miss South
Miss North first. AS he put the
little Miller girl down, one of hel
long brunette curls caught on 9
button of his frock coat.
"See," he said, "how the North
Iclings to me?"
A year later. Lincoln came tc
the Miller farm in inspecting the
defenses of the Capital. The Civil
War had begun, the first battle
Iof Bull Run had been lost and
the Union advance on Richmond
had begged down. The little girl
was introduced to the President.
But Lincoln remembered. "I've
met this young lady before" he
said.
There" said Mrs. Fowler tri-
umphantly in recounting it Fri
day, "are two unpublished Lincoln
stories for you.s And they're true.
They were told to me by my
mother" ("
Father Came From Maine.
Mrs. Fowler's father, Walter
Shaw, was from Maine, from an
island in Rockland harbor. He
lost his right arm in the battle
of Spotsylvania Court House. His
sister came down from Maine,
brought him home and nursed
him to health. Then he returned
to Washington. He learned to

kriksta religiniu poziuriu. Nors
mes visi labai gerai zinome, kad
ir tue poziuriu lenku lietuviams
primestas krikstas turf labai
liudna veida, bet cia mes jo me-
lieciame. Taip pat jis nepasisako
prizes religija kaip tokia: jis tik
nori pasakyti tai, kad NUNS la
bal ir labai atejo metas keisti
kai kurias paziuras del Lietuvos
krikSto., KrikStas Lietuvai ne
buvo jocks isganymas nei politi-
niu, nei kulturiniu, nei tautiniu,
pagaliau, nei moraliniu poziuriu,
mes lenkai kunigai lietuviu liau-
di daugiau demoralizavo nei mo-
ke ja religiniu tiesu. NUNS nera
ko krikstu didziuotis ir dziaug-
tbs: greiciau reikia liudeti, nors
tai siandien nieko nebepades.
Butu visai kitokia kalba, jei
Lietuvos krikstas butu buves ne
politinis, o, religinis aktas. Jei
Lietuva butu kriksta priemusi
tiesiog is Romos, jei tuojau bu-

jei butu buve pasistengta pra-

siandien galetumeme pasidziaug-

svarbu pazymeti, kad Lietuva
kriksta prieme seniau. Bet da-
bartinemis aplinkybemis koks
skirtumas?
