T GAVE LANDMARKS Congress Preserves Historic Places in Washington. MANY SOCIETIES GIVE HELP Individuals Also Discover Objects Worthy of Belng Kept From De- struction—Old Houses Marked With Bronze Tablets. By GEORGE CLINTON. ‘Washington.—A movement which has obtained great impetus to make the capital more beautiful is no faster on its way than the movement to pre- serve landmarks of historic interest. Congress is taking a deep interest in the matter and has been spurred to it by the influence of many of the pa- triotle organizations of the country, organizations of all kinds from the Grand Army of the Republic to the Daughters of the Confederacy. It might be said that the Daughters of the American Revolution do about as much work in this line of endeavor as any other two organizations. Its membership is nation-wide, including women of the north, south, east, west and the middle country. It is abso lutely non-sectional and therefore ef- fective. The libraries in Washington, the Congressional library, the free Ii- brary and the several others, are making a specialty of what might be called Washingtoniana, but of course it refers in tHis case_to mat- tera Pertaining to the city of Washing: ton and not those pertaining to the Father of his Country. There are ip Washington many ‘women and men who make a study of the work of discovering objects which have historic interest and it is their endeavor to save them either by con- gressional action or by private sub- scription. They make use of the print- ed material which the libraries afford and by reading old papers, magazines and documents they make many “finds” of value. Braddock’s Rock Marked. Not long ago it was discovered that what is known as Braddock’s Rock was unmarked. This was the rock on which General Braddotk landed at Georgetown when he was on his way with George Washington as a lieuten- ant overland to meet the French in western Pennsylvania, an expedition In which Braddock was defeated, the remnant of his forces being saved by the generalship of Washington. This rock has now been marked, an inter- est in its marking being taken by James Bryce, the British ambassador, who was present on the occasion. As fast as it can be done, the old houses which have historic interest are being marked with bronze tablets bearing inscriptions to show in what their chief interest lies. It has been feared always that the needs of busi- ness would make the destruction of old landmarks inevitable, but the ‘Washington people who are interested in preservation matters seem to be Just as much alive to the work as were the Boston people who insisted that the Old South church and the Old North church should be saved when it was proposed that they be demol- i{shed to make room for commercial houses. It fs said that in Boston THE BEM $250,000 was “subscribed In twelve hours to be used to save the “Old Bouth” where the flery Otis preached resistance to tyranny. Famous Washington Churches. The most famous church in Wash. ington is the anclent Saint John's of the Protestant Episcopal .communion, situated on Lafayette square. It is an old building and long since its congregations have outgrown the edi- fice, but there 18 no present intention of the parish authorities to move else- where or to demolish the structure. Bt. John's is the church which Mrs. Taft attends and which was attended by Mrs. Roosevelt and, prior to the Roosevelt administration, by = many presidents and their familles, One of the oldest Roman Catholic churches in Washington was " Saint Mathew’s, which was situated at Fif- teenth and H streets. The congrega- tion outgrew its quarters and after a good many heart-burnings and consid- erable opposition the old building was given up and a new one was built on Rhode Island avenue. The original property was sold and there now stands on its site a great structure known as the Southern buildings, in which are located the headquarters of the organization devoted to the devel- opment of ithe natural and business resources of the southern states. There are other old edifices in Washington which have been written about time and again and probably the publicity has helped In saving them from destruction, for Washing- ton business men realize that the more attractions in a historic way the éity has the greater will be the throng of visitors. Examples of old bulldings which have been preserved by a popular sentiment are the homes of Commodore Decatur and of Mrs. IDJIZDAILY IPIONEER Madfson. The two mokt prominent Kis: | torical houses in the vicinity of Wash- Ington of course will be preserved, if they can be, for all time., They are Washington's home at’ Mount Vernon and the home of the Custis and later »f the Lee family at Arlington. The Supposition, “l suppose frenzied finantiers are sl angular sort of men.” 19 “Now, what. makes you suppose \tiat? ' “Den’t they 'make themselves by torners?™ Safety Play Counted. The subject of “kissing before en gagements for marriage” came up at & whist club of half a dozen married couples. It turned out that not one of the women had been kissed until her troth was plighted. One of the men had a poor memory: “We used ta kiss, sometimes, didn’t we?” he said to his wife. “No, sir,” she sald, with deep indignation; “you tried to, and you fought for the privilege, but you never succeeded.” “Is that so?” the husband remarked: “I've kissed so many—" “What's that? What did you 8ay?” the wife asked. There was a8 pause. Intense but suppressed excite- ment was visible on the faces of the other married men. “I say,” sald the busband, “I have kissed you so many times that I can’t remember when 1 began.” Then the other married men breathed more freely. e 8o, There Is No Such Thing.

Our grandfathers had dark, glossy hair at seventy-five, while our mothers are gray before they are fifty. Our” grandmothers kept their hair soft and glossy with a “Sage Tea,” which also restored the natur- al color. One objection to using such a prep- aration was the trouble of making it. This objection has been overcome by the Wyeth Chemical Company of New York, who has placed on the market a superior prepartion of Sage, combined with Sulphur and other valuable remedies for dandruff, itch- ing scalp, and thin, weak, falling hair. The beauty of the hair depends more on its rich, even shading than anything else. Dont’ have dry, harsh faded hair, when a simple, harmless remedy. will bring back: the color in a few days; and don’t be tormented with dandruff, itching scalp and loose falling hairs. Wyeth’s Sage and Sul- phur Hair Remedy will quickly cor- rect these troubles, and give color, strength and beauty to your hair, Get a fifty cent bottle from your druggist today, and prove this to your own satisfaction.
