FIRST PRESIDENT CENTER OF GREAT NUMBER OF MYTHS Traditions and Anecdotes of Country’s Father Gathered for Celebration LED AN INTERESTING LIFE Gallantry with Women and Ability to Drive Hard Bar- gain Are Emphasized Washington, Feb. 21.—(NEA)—No man in American history is the sub- ject of quite so many traditions, myths and anecdotes as Georg: Washington. And Washington's birth- day is a good day for reviewing some of the best of the old stories. The Bicentennial Commission, which is preparing a nation - wide celebration in honor of Washington's 200th birthday anniversary in 1932, fs collecting such stories wherever it can, and has chosen Dr. Albert Bush- nell Hart of Harvard, one of the country's foremost historians, to pass upon them. It is asking all Amer- icans who have family traditions, let- ters or other ona pecmette deali with Washington com-, frunionte with it; and herewih are presented some Washington stories. Among the many anecdotes about Washington, there are few that have a humorous tinge. One of these rarities, however, tells how the father of his country, at an early age, went swimming in a river and was robbed of all of his clothing—and by two girls, at that! ‘Washington was 19 at the time, and was enjoying a swim in the Rappa- hannock. The two girls appeared from nowhere and decamped with his clothing. Evidently it was not a practical joke, as they took his watch and money from his pockets. Later they were caught, and when it de- veloped that they had “vicious char- acters”—as the old chroniclers put it— they were whipped and imprisoned. Just how Washington got home. whether in a barrel or otherwise, is not stated. Visited In Barbados In 1751 George Washington and his older brother, Lawrence, went to the island of Barbados in the British ‘West Indies for a visit. Here, for the first time in his life, Washington went to a theater, witnessing a play called “The Austere Tragedy of George Barnwell.” It was well- named, apparently; its action follow- ‘ed a gradual decline of the principal character, who started out as.an ap- prentice boy, took to picking: pockets. became a robber and finally was hanged for murder. ‘Washington’ was lavishly enter- tained in Barbados and when he went home reported himself distressed by the lavish habits of the inhabitants. One feature that especially displeased him was the custom of making din- ner, at 3 every afternoon, of beefsteak, tripe and rum. Incidentally, it was ®t Barbados that Washington caught the smallpox, the marks of which he varried on his face for the rest of his life. Various biographers have remarked that Washington had a high temper, which occasionally vented itself in an impassioned outburst. Once, it is re- corded, during the Revolution, Wash- ington ordered an officer to cross the Delaware river to get some informa- tion about the position of the British troops. It was mid-winter, and in a short time the officer returned, re- porting that it was very dark and that the river was full of floating ice, 80 that he had not been able to cross. In a fury, Washington seized an inkstand and flung it at the officer's head. “Go get me a man!” he cried in anger. The officer, impressed, went back, braved the floating ice crossed the river and got the infor- mation desired. ‘Burned the River’ Shortly after the close of the Rev- olution, Washington invited two friends—Thomas Paine, author of “The Rights of Man,” and a General Lincoln—to go up the Potomac with him and watch him “burn the river.” ‘The three got into a rowboat and went upstream several miles. Dark~ ness came, and they headed up 2 small inlet. The friends noticed that ‘Washington took pains to sink his oars deeply into the water. stirring up mud from the bottom. At last he stopped the boat, struck a light and ignited a piece of paper, and dropped the blazing paper on the water. Sure enough, the surface of the river took fire, and for several minutes @ merry blaze danced on the water. . Paine ant Lincoln were perplexed and Washington explained. The mud at the bottom of the creek, he said, held a gaseous substance. When the mud was stirred up, the inflammable gas came to the surface, where it could be lit. ‘When Washington was 11 his fath- er died. Shortly thereafter he got a commissi him to go. Disappointed but obedi- ent, he turned back and gave up his commission. As s reward, his mother POWKI *HULDA Nation-Wide Celebratio gave him a good pocket knife, which he prized highly and carried all the rest of his life. In the terrible winter of Valley Forge, Washington once gave way to discouragement and sat down to write his resignation. General Knox, to whom he showed the resignation, reminded him of the episode of the knife, and added that Washington's mother, in presenting the knife, had told him, “Always obey your super- fors.” Then he said, “You were or- dered to lead ‘this army, and no one has ordered you to cease leading it.” Washington pondered over it for a few minutes, and then tore up his resignation. Drove Sharp Bargain Washington's ability to drive a sharp bargain in business matters is testified to by an anecdote involving him and General Richard Henry Lee. General Lee, it is said, had a fine team of carriage horses, and Wash- ington wanted to buy them. But Lee refused, point blank, to sell them to him. “Why?” asked Washington. “Because,” said Lee, “you will never pay more than half price for any- thing, and I must get full value for my horses.” However, Washington was not at all mean in his business dealings Once while he was president a neigh- bor of his named Reuben Rouzy owed him a thousand pounds. Washington's agent at Mount Vernon sued Rouzy for the sum, and when Rouzy was unable to pay it the agent had him jailed. A friend told Rouzy that Washing- ton probably knew nothing about it, and advised him to appeal to him di- rect. Rouzy did so, explaining that if he were released he would pay the debt as soon as he could. Washing- ton, indignant at the man’s treat- ment, immediately ordered .his re- lease, and had his agent discharged. Some years later Rouzy went to Washington and said he could now pay his debt, but Washington refused to.accept the money, saying the debt had been cleared. Roury insisted however—but Washington, on accept- ing the money, promptly divided i among Roury’s children. Recent biographers have insisted that Washington was very gallan‘ among the ladies. Here is 2 story bearing on that angle of his char- acter. In the closing years of his life, Washington went to dine at a friend’s home. There were three little girls in the family, and they were not al- lowed to dine at the table with the/ guests but had to sit at a small table off in @ corner. At the close of the meal Washington summoned a waiter and got a tray with four tiny glasses filled with a simple cordial. Carrying this tray, he advanced to the table in the corner, where the awe-struck girls were gaping at him, bowed low, and said pleasantly, “Young ladies, will you drink with me?” One of these little girls, by the way, lived to become the mother of Robert E. Lee. Bills Passed by Senate S. B. 81—Makes personal property taxes due Dec. 1, instead of Dec. 31, and makes other changes in personal property tax laws. 8.

Scheme to Remodel Capitol Is Approved The North Dakota senate Friday moved swiftly to provide a $10,000 appropriation for remodeling the north wing of the fire-swept state | capitol building. ‘The senate suspended the rules to take final action on the measure as it was received from the house, pass- ing it 41 to 3, It now goes to the gov- ernor, at whose recommendation the measure was introduced by Rep. L. L. Twichell of Cass county. Remodeling of the wing was pro-/ poset so that seven departments housed in downtown buildings here since the capitol fire last December, may be returned to the wing. Senator PF. E. Ployhar, Barnes, urged the measure be acted on im-/ mediately so that work could get un- | 4, derway.
