Housing for Elderly
Gets More Attention

This and similar villages
around the country, plus the
continuing concern Of legisla-
tors on all levels Of govern
ment, add up to more and
better housing for the middle
aged and the elderly.
Question: Can you tell me
whether a brick walk set in
sand is as good as one set in
concrete with mortar between
the joints? I'd like to put
down such a walk, but don't
want to bother with the con-
crete and mortar. Please give
me some advice on how to set
the brick In sand.
Answer: A brick walk set In
sand viii stand up fairly well
under moderate traffic, but Il
definitely will not be as solid
nor as durable as one set in
concrete. To get a reasonably
good result from the former
1t is important that the bed Of
sand, at least 2 inches in
depth, be packed down com.
pactly. If this is not done,
you'll wind up with a loose
walk. Lay one row Of bricks
at a time, then fill the spaces
between the bricks with sand.
When the entire Job is fin.
ished, 60 over the area thor.
oughly and add sand wherev.
er 1t Is needed. You'll have tc
keep a close eye on the walk
for a couple Of weeks after
people have started to wall
on 1t. As soon as you locate 9
spot where the sand has shift
ed or been blown away, re
pack the gaps and whatever
leveling is necessary.
After the bricks have beer
down and trod on for severa
weeks, they will stay In place
for a long time. But you'll
have to face the fact that tn
entire project will lack tn
firmneSs and professional ap
pearance Of a brick walk Sc
In concrete.

Before
Painting

The job Of repainting your
house does not begin with the
painting. It starts with the
proper preparation Of surfaces,
the National Paint, VarniSh
and Lacquer Association points
out.
The final result Of your paint
job will be only as good as its
foundation. The surfaces on
which the new pain is to be
applied must be sound, smooth
and - If they are metal - rust
free.

Petition Set On
Redistricting Bill

The Maryland League of Women
Voters informed Gov Tawes that
the organization would attempt to
petition the newly enacted redis-
trieting bill to referendum.
The general assembly enacted
an administration bill to create a
new congressional district by di-
viding the present southern Mary
land 5tn district and taking in
Carroll county from the End dis
trict.
In testimony before legislative
committees the league said the adj
ministration proposal was the only
enc of eight bills they opposed be-
cause of its great variance in
population between districts.
The league led the fight which
petitioned to referendum last year
the bill to create a congressional
district of Prince Georges and How
ard counties. The proposal was
defeated by the voters and Mary
lands eighth congressman was
elected at large.
The new attempt at redistricting
has disregarded the intent of the
people as expressed in the large
mo- vote last November" it was
said
The league will need more than
$4,000 signatures under new
petition law as compared to a re-
quirement of only 10000 last time.
However, more than 10000 sigma
lures were obtained in the previ-
Gus drive and the league expressed
confidence of completing another
petition campaign.

NEW YORK : The memorable
course Of nature, to use his own

And Just as relentlessly as he is

Forgot About II

80 then I turned my back on
him and looked out of the window,
and did not speak to him for two
squares. at least. He meant that,
If he told me, ! would tell It to-
everybody, as I certainly would
have done. He ought to have told
me. though; and I never asked
him afterwards. I forgot about 1t.
But all that came back to me
Just as soon as ! read that. i
remembered Mrs. Sherman getting
up. I remembered dining there.
and Mrs. Sherman getting up, be-
ing called out, and her coming
back, and how she looked and all
about it"
Then, when she was taken back
to the matter that the general
had never told her, she stated
that she had never thought any
more about the business until sheI
saw 1t In the papers, and that
it never occurred to her that herr
husband had been witnessing al
will or that Mrs. Sherman had,
but that:
II got q little mad at him and
did not discuss the question any
more. I did not ask him. I
did not crafty him by asking
him again"
And 50 1t ended. Judge Holt,
the subject Of bitter controversy
during his life, could not escape
1t even In death.
True, the case was over - but /
one question and an important
one remained and Is still I'M
answered: Who mailed the letter? !

father, President Grant; and p.
Tecumseh Sherman to that Of his
mother, Mrs. Ellen Sherman, wife
of the General.
Then there was further testi-
mony that the writing in the
body Of the will and the sigma
ture was Hollis. A witness named
Burnett testified that in his opin-
ion the body of the will and the
signature of the testator were
written by Holt. He stated he had
often seen him write and had had
considerable correspondence with
him up to 1889. and that he was
familiar with his handwriting.
The proponents then offered
the paper in evidence and the
court accepted it as evidence.
The two beneficiaries Of the
will. a Miss Hynes and q Miss
Throckmorton, q godchild Of the
deceased. testified to their COM
plete "unawareness Of its exist
ence." Miss Hynes stating that
she never saw 1t until It was
shown to her on the stand, and
Miss Throckmorton that she first
knew Of its existence through q
telegram from Devlin which she
had received in New York City;
that she had known Devlin when
she was a child but had not seen
him in the intervening years I'M
til after the paper had been filed
in court.
Devlin himself stated that even
though he was named as executor
IN the writing. 1t had never been
in his possession. that he first
saw it in the office Of the Reg
lister Of Wills on the day 1t was
received there-and appeared to
be genuinely mystified by the
uyhnIa hlieinaea
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-06-16

validity Of the signature Of his
father. Senator Sherman, the
brother Of the general, had testi-
fled as to that and had given
his opinion that 1t was genuine.
Handwriting Details
Later, when the contestants
were putting in their case, they
called a witness who said that
he had been employed for over
80 years in the Office Of the Sec
rotary of War and was there
when Gen. Sherman had acted as
secretary, and also when he had
been general Of the Army, and
that he had O familiarity with
his signature, and. having recent
ly re-examined the signature on
the alleged will, 1t was his opinion
that it was not that of the gen.
eral. On being cross-examined he
gave as his reasons, among 9TH
ers, that In signatures Of the
general which he knew were gen.
uine, on the capital "T"' the up
per and lower lines met, and he
never saw one In which they did
not meet, and that it was also
his opinion that the signature
was not that Of the general be-
cause the IS" In Sherman diff
fered from the IS" in the genuine
signature in that the small stroke
at the lower part Of that letter
where the upward stroke is

instrument.

was the way the matter stood
on the day the letter was mailed.
The Register was surprised by
the whole thing but his eyes
nearly popped out of his head
when he read the names Of the
witnesses to the will: ELLEN B. E.
Sherman" was the first. If this
name at first glance meant moth
ing to him, it did when he read
the name of the next witness,

Background Of Friendship

On cross-examination Devlin
stated that he had known Holt
since 1852: that he had been q
copyist and q messenger in the
Judge Advocate Generals Office
Of the Army when Holt first came
there and that he continued to
be employed there until 1875
when Holt retired; that he had
