By Engineer Group

A controversial proposal tt
change requirements for electri-

Mr.. Phelan backed the meas.
lure insofar as it does not require
the signature of a professional
engineer in all cases, but he sug.
Egested that the dividing line
should be at jobs of 200 ampere,

tractors and engineers on the
subject.

Saturday night when Mr.. Caper-
ton was taken to Arlington Hos
pital for treatment of a painful
case of hemorrhoids. This first

tiers, a son, a daughter-in-law
and a son-in-law in the car.
At home, other children noti-
fled the ambulance dispatcher
that their father was being taken
to the hospital by car.
Two other carloads of children
and other relatives followed the
first car.
Transferred to Ambulance
At the intersection of Routes

verted by radio, caught the pro-
cession. Mr.. Caperton was trans
ferred to the ambulance.
They set out again, with the
first car leading the ambulance
its occupants shouting "go
faster"
At the town of Fairfax, the
driver of the first car. feeling that
the ambulance was going toe
slow, pulled across the road in
front of it. The occupants jumped
out, took Mr.. Caperton from the
ambulance and put him back in
their car.
Then they drove to the town
police station and asked for q
police escort to the hospital. They
were refused. and set out again

Ito its dispatcher, county police
were ordered to set up a road

But town police heard the
Iradioed order and, recognizing
the car on Route 237, stopped it
there They escorted it to the
road block, where Mr.. Caperton
for the third time-was trans

ambulance. Police ordered the
relatives to drive behind the am

ride of nearly an hour, Mr..
Caperton was taken to the emer-

This magnificent shack is in
Riverdale. Henri Joseph,
Baron de Stier, started to build
it. He called it Riversdale.
Somewhere along the line the

restore it today to be histori-

Baron de Stier hot-footed

cause the French revolution
lists were threatening to sep
arate him in the region Of
his Adams apple. They ran
out of artistocrats at home
and moved into Belgium, in
tent on looping off some noble
heads there by way of fatten-
ing their score.
The baron's daughter and
young George Calvert were
married; Pop went back to
Europe and the Calverts took
over the mansion.
William Thornton, the first
architect of the Capitol, is
supposed to have wrought
some of Riversdale's designs.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-10-22

LEGEND HAS 1T that the
pillars on one portico were
hacked out for the Capitol
but were found to be a mite
short. So, the tradition goes,
Thornton exercised laudable
thrift and had them put up at
Riversdale, instead.
He is also credited with the
soaring circular staircase in
the mansion, one of the first
unsupported flights in this
country. 1t is tied in with
the wall now, but originally
floated down secured only at
the top and bottom.
Henry Clay was a frequent
visitor to the mansion.
Frequent may be too weak a
word. They reserved one guest
room for him, he was around
so often. Some of the Missouri
Compromise is supposed to
have been written in his room.
Various tenants who fol-
lowed the Calverts added re-
finements to the place. One
of the offices has a hoor-to-
ceiling mirror, roughly the
size of an entire wall of one
of today's bungalows.
Two other mirrors, fully as
big, were put up in the din
ing room. DampnesS got
behind them and ruined their
rejecting surfaces. The PLAN
ming agency'S decorators fixed
that by painting the whole
shebang gray. They may be
the only all-gray, non-mirror-
ing mirrors in the world.
