Question: How can we dry out
the dirt floor under a ranch-ty
house? The area under the house
contains about $50 square feet
and there Is about three feet of
crawl space. We have four, 10-by-
14-inch lowers in the foundation
walls and have used an exhaust
fan in one Of the louvers when
the humidity was low. Would
bags Of calcium chloride sus-
pended from the floor joistS, with
the lowers closed. have any effect?
Answer: The usual formula for
proper ventilation Of spaces under
q building is that the total area
Of louver or window openings
should b at least one and one
half per cent Of the total floor
area; In other words, the amount
that you now have is only one
third the area Of the openings
you should have in your foun-
dation walls.

space of three days"
Fort Frederick was built near
Hancock. Joseph Chapline was put
in command. Many families took
refuge in it. 1t was around this
same time that a portion of General
Braddock's army forded the Antie-
tam at a point known as the Hit
bridge, located near Keedysville.
Near this bridge is a steep decline
which Braddock's army used. He
chose the straightest way regard
less of obstacles, tearing out forest
trees when necessary, and the say
ing is, 'Where Braddock's army
passed, trees never grew again"
He did not inform himself very
we'll of the country through which
he was to pass. He sent a detach-
ment ahead with orders to sieze all
boats and canoes on the river for
the use of his army, thinking the
stream would be both wide and
deep. When the troops reached it,
they found good fords at both places.
This was typical of General Brad
dock.
Many citizens of this section tried
to warm the British General of the
cunning and trickery of the Amer
lean Indians, and of their methods
of warfare. But the general took
a naughty attitude, showing a feel
ing of I'm the general, and what do
these common people know about
war" And so he marched his men
into the wilderness. He disdained
any method not practiced by the
English, and his men made a beauti-
full display in drills, and presented
arms in perfect order. Tradition
says that he started west riding in
a handsome travelling chariot, and
that he literally damned the roads
when it could be taken no farther.
So into the woods they went, into
perfect Indian trap. The trail
was rocky and narrow, through
dense underground. The watching
Indians never gave a single sound,
so that the general re-affirmed his
statements that there was nothing
in the American wilderness to fear.
But when the army was stretched
to its fullest length, the trap was
sprung. Men fell everywhere, with
no enemy in sight.
The General was among the first
to be wounded His aid-decamp
brought him off the field and stayed
with him till he died. He told that
the general lay all day without a
word till evening, and then ex-
pressed his utter surprise with the
single exclamation:
who would have thought it,"
And he was then silent for another
day, rousing to say: 1--WE shall bet
ter know how to deal with them an
other time" and then turned and
died.

Horse and Buggy Days
By Ida 10 Martin

One of Americas most famous
streams, one that will always be re-
membered, is the Antietam. Many
settlements grew up along its banks,
the Indians roamed through the for
ests and along the stream and in the
earlier days made little trouble for
the white man. One of the first
tribes to appear was the Shawnees,
then the Delawares from Pennsyl-
vania and their enemies, the Cat
awbas from the Carolinas.
It has been noted that the Indians
usually chose a place where one
stream empties into another for a
fording. There is such a place be-
low Sharpsburg, where the Ante
tam empties into the Potomac River.
Here great Indian battle was once
taught and countless bones, skulls,
arrowheads and other Indian tro-
phies have been found.
The battle took place in 1876. The
valley was fertile, and full of game
and fish, and was a favorite hunting
place for the Indians. So it hap
pened that the Delawares hunted
through the valley, and being
daring and brave people, they pass
ed on into the country of the Cat
awbas, and then the trouble began,
After doing many mean and in
solent things, the Delawares started
north again, but we're followed by
the enraged Catawbas. It was at
the mouth of the Antietam that they
came upon the camp of the Della
wares and a hard battle was fought
At the end there was only one Cat
awba left, and he escaped into the
wilderness to the north.
After the battle, as was the Gus
tom, the Delawares displayed their
dangling scalps, and every warrior,
with the exception of one, had a
trophy to show He had not a single
scalp so he Immediately started in
pursuit of the lone surviving Cat
aWba, but it was not until he had
made the long journey of one hun
dred miles that he came upon his
prey. 1t was along the banks of the
SuSquehenna that he found him
The unfortunate Catawaba was
tomahawked and his scalp carried
back to the Delaware tribe.
The friendly relations between
the white settlers and the Indians
did not continue and it was through
the differences between the French
and English that they came to an
end. The French and English could
not live in peace together. The In
dians loved the French better be-
cause they were kind and tried to
save them from drink, even marry
ing Indian girls The English were
respected and feared. During the
French and Indian war the Indians
were turned loose upon the settle
ments to murder the families and to
destroy their properties. AS a re-
suit, practically everyone fled. In
1856 George Washington wrote:
"The whole settlement of Conoco-
cheague (the name given at that
time to all the country between the
mountains) in Maryland is fled, and
there remains but only two fam
lilies from thence to Frederictown.
That the Maryland settlements are
all abandoned is certainly a fact, as
had the accounts transmitted to me
by several hands and confirmed yes

who left Monocacy the day before,
