actually make possible the secret
stairways, although it is very doubt
full if the builders had such thoughts
in their heads when they built them
so. Where the windows are low,
they form deep window seats and
have always been choice spots for
small children's play. Of course,
these thick walls provided GOODNESS
in the summer when it was hot
everywhere else.
In some of the older stone houses
can be seen the narrow Sits in these
thick walls, that served as lookout
holes, and ports through which the
early settlers attempted to brighten
off attacks of the Indians. One of
these is to be seen only short dis
lance from the new Paramount
school, where in the early days the
Cressaps built a house.

ed stone, limestone, take careful
look at the blue color, for this is the

or first taken from the quarry, and
its subsequent tightening in color
as it is affected by sunshine and
weather
But the outstanding use of our
limestone has been in the houses,
barns, bridges, dams, locks, and other
masonry constructions that char
acterize our county. Some one has
remarked that the old houses, many
of them built up to two centuries
ago, are simple in line almost to the
point of being severe or cold, but
that as one gets to know the old
houses and the past better, they sug-
gest, rather, repose and solidity, and
above all, durability or lasting char
acter. 1t is to be noted that the old
er ones rarely have arches or fans
above the doors, but are character
lied by straight lines. This is even
true of many of the older churches,
which are in themselves another
type of landmark.
One interesting object to be seen
in many of the older houses was the
stone chimney, often built outside
the house, which was often of log,
Many of these old chimneys show the
iron hooks and bars where they ac-
complished the tasks of soap-making,
of apple BUTTER making, and the
winter butchering.
One characteristic of practically
all of the older houses is the small
window, the small number of them
in many houses, and often no win
dows at all in the walls facing the
cold northwest winter winds. Many
of these have walls thick enough to

few from farther west. The ham
mers and axes are of a dark, opaque
stone, while the arrow heads are of
either black flint, or of a translucent
type of flint, a few quite light in
color.
But this part of Maryland is far
more famous for another kind of
stone, one not suited for arrow
heads, but most admirably suited
for building-the limestone. Of
course it has always been here and
can be seen everywhere. Perhaps
one of the reasons it can be seen
cropping out of the ground in Lodges
is because of its durability.
The whole valley is ''foored" with
this stone, that lies under the sur
face in rises and drops in almost
wave-like regularity. Between the
high ridges are some of the richest
farmlands in the country. The ma
tural action of slowly disintegrating
limestone makes the soil some of the
very richest and this played no lit
tie part in the history of this coun-
ty and state. And burned into lime,
it has been used since the earliest
settlers, and is now known COM
mercially far and wide.
But this stone is perhaps known
best for its building value. A less ro-
mantle phase of this is in the macad-
am road surfaces we enjoy so much.
Here the hard and durable lime
stone plays vital part, as it did in
all the road surfaces before the days
of the hard-top road. It is interest
ing to note the dark blue color of
this stone when it is first broken
The globe-independent. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1943-19??, 1952-03-13

Recently l was looking at some old
stones in the home of Mr.. Max Zim-
norman, Hagerstown, and from him
was able to pick up some interest
ing information about our valley
and about the early inhabitants, the
Indians. The stones were all Indian
stones of one kind or another, arrow
heads, spear heads, clubs, hammers,
pipe bowls, and even arrow shaft
smoothers.
Some of the stones indicate a
very early age when the users APP
parently did not even fasten han
dies to their tools, but shaped the
stone to fit the hand nicely, the
stone being used likely to grind
grain or meal on another fiat stone.
Then later, grooves were Clipped
around an elongated stone and han
dies fitted. These can be seen in all
shapes, some blunt, as hammer,
and others sharp, some on one end,
some sharp at both ends. Some of
these are big stones and suggest a
husky brave with whom one would
want to be on good terms.
Oddly enough, it was the old
handIeless stone that gave me a
strange feeling of kinship with the
old Indians. AS a child we often
used stones to crack walnuts, and
finally came to the place where each

of us had his own peculiar stone.
AS 1 took the old Indian grinder"
stone in my hand, at Mr.. thinner
mans request, to see how it fitted, l
thought of the old Misunderstanding
stone that fitted my hand in much
the same way.
Mr.. Zimmerman told also of a
gruesome thought and illustrated it
with a number of arrowheads that
he called "war points" They were
mostly thin, three-pointed pieces OF
black flint, very sharp, that were
inserted into a slit in the front end
of the arrow shaft, but were not
tied. Indeed, they were left free,
so that when the arrow found its
mark-the body of the enemy-the
shaft parted from the barb or point,
which was left inside the wound, to
cause more discontinue and infec-
ton, although they did not think of
it as such. This is enough to make
one shudder even now.
The arrow shaft smoothers were
new to me. They consist of a block
of stone, fiat, with a groove across
one surface, through which the shaft
of an arrow was passed back and
forth, and turned, to smooth its
sides.
All of Mr.. Zimmerman's stones
are from Maryland soil, except for

TEACHERS PET
At least some do = and they
can get i'm trouble. Here are
legal tidbits on just what
they may and may not do -.
CoIooLDAYs spent in court often turn up some
~ interesting stories about teachers and pupils
Here are few.
No Time for LOre. Should teacher be fired for
entertaining girl friends in his classroom with the
lights out? Yes because even with the lights out his
pupils not left in the dark about what he is doing,
said the Kentucky Court of Appeals
Not Behind Bars. May teachers work as barmaids
after hours? No. because they might thus encourage
their pupils to drink. ruled the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania.
For Better, for Worse. Should women teachers be
fired when they marry? No, because marriage is just
as likely to make teacher better as worse said the
Supreme Court of Indiana.
No ElectiOneering Should teacher tell his pupils
what candidates their parents ought to vote for? No.
because such advice may set the children to fighting
with their parents who have enough to fight about
already said the California District Court of Appeal
''Sshh! Pa!'' Should child be suspended because
his father calls his teacher to tell her she is ignorant?
No. because the sins of the father should not be visited
on the children, said the Supreme Court of Georgia
Teacher Knoscs Rest. If the principal wants Junior
to eat lunch in school and his mother insists that he
eat it at home where will Junior eat? In school, Lunch
during school hours is part of his education and his
mother has nothing to say about it, ruled the Supreme
Court Of Nebraska.
Bod Example. Should teacher be fired for fighting
with his wife in public? Yes because that may teach
his pupils to do the same when they grow Ip declared
the Supreme Court of Wyoming
Not Sitting Pretty. Should teachers be reprmanded
for sitting on mems laps where their pupils can see
them? Yes because such conduct will make it hard for
them to maintain discipline, declared the Supreme
Court Of Michigan.
Ouch May teacher spank pupil for dropping
books out of the window the heads of classmates he
doesn't like? Yes, because as the New York County
Court ruled. he that spareth his rod hateth his
son." -J0sE ScH0RR

Forces Of Moral Riqhi
Can Solve Troubles
'0f World, Dulles Says

The forces of moral righteous
Elnessf and justice can turn the
q course of events and stop the
terrific deterioration" in world
I Eaffairs. John, Foster Dulles said
last night.
Mr.. Dulles, special consultant
] Ito the Secretary of State, spoke
after receiving the 1852 Peace
1 Medal Of the National Third
iOrder of st. Francis. It was pre-
4 sented at a dinner in the Fran
Eciscan Monastery, Fourteenth and
Quincy streets NE. The presenta-
tion was made by the Rev. Adolph
Bernholz, of Fonda, N. Y, newly
installed national chairman of the
4 Third Order Organization.
4 The medal was awarded to Mr.
Il Dulles in recognition of his
/ achievements in bringing about
the japanese Peace Treaty, which
was signed in San Francisco last
I year.
Forces of Moral Law.
Mr.. Dulles said he is convinced
the troubles "of our times" stem
largely from the fact that I'VE do
not avail ourselves of the force
B Of the moral law which can
be called upon infinitely more
81 than ever before to bring about
a peace and order, and to rout those
sIwho deny morality and base their
/ society on materialistic concepts. -
He said that what was done at
San Francisco showed the possi-
4 bilities of moral law. and he ex-
pressed the hope that, in this
world full of human miseries and
human burdens" others may avail
l themselves of these great forces.
There were plenty of baser
instincts in relation to Japan" "
h the speaker said. There was
plenty Of hatred by those who had
suffered and able opportunity for
vengeance, greed and commercial
competition, fear and distrust.
eve rejected the aim to achieve
peace by appealing to these in
stincts. because we were convinced
it would not achieve a durable
peace" ~
Award Made Annually.
The Peace Medal was instituted
a year ago and will be made an
nually by the National Third Or
der to the person adjudged to have
contributed the greatest effort
toward achievement of world
peace in the year previous.

ed the second time the medal has
gone to a non-Catholic. Last

can. Mr.. Taylor is an Episco-
