Make the Most. of Your Figure With an American Economic clocks cease their ticking, industrial enterprises stop their whir, and America celebrates today in honor of George Washington. “‘Across the Potomac from the city which perhaps is, the most elaborate and enduring monument that perpet uates the name of any human being is 2 smaller, older, but up-to-date city, which revently pays her tribute to the great man who surveyed its town lots. He also commanded its troops, was a member of its fire company, sat in its historic Christ Church while President of the United States, and tripped the stately minuet in its parlors,” says bulletin from the Washington head quarters of the National Geographic Soclety. “Alexandria, Va., which was so promising at the close of the revolu- tionary war that it was considered a possible seat for the infant national government, and which indeed might if the great man who lived within a stone’s throw of its borders had thought it fair to use his influence in its behalf, is today an up-and-doing city. A naval torpedo plant is being constructed there at the present time, and during the world war it had a fully equipped shipbuilding plant. Reborn an Shipping Center. ‘“The first ship bullt at this plant the home of George Mason, father of the Virginia declaration of righ at that time probably the most com man. This shipbuilding plant, which now stands idle waiting the develop- ment of new plans concerning our merchant shipping, covers forty-six acres of land along a river which measures forty feet in depth at the city pier. At no point in its course 10 the ocean is the channel less than thirty feet in depth. “The coal flelds of the Cumberland are but forty miles away and the cheapness of transportation to the city adds another conmercial asset. The inhabitants in the decade be- tween 1830 and 1840 foresaw the power which was coming into being illlito the west of them, and expended EORGE WASHINGTON was a strong long-distance pitcher. and when he was a boy he threw a missile across a river. The story is no fable. It is a fact, or, at least, it is a story supported by worthy evidence and is perfectly plaus- ible. You have laughed at it and scorned it as a myth, but the story is not to blame for that. It is because you have not understood the story. ‘When the story started on its course it was all right and proper, and you have probably never heard the story a8 it was told in the life and times of George Washipgton. To understand that story you must hear it as the friends of George Washington heard 87d told it. You have heard that George Wash- Ington threw a silver dollar across the Potomac. Nobody in Washington's time told any such story. The silver dollar part of it is a fairy tale. That silver dollar was put into the story not in George Washington’s time, but in ours. You have long had the Poot old joke that “George Washington threw a silver dollar across the Poto- wmac river, but dollars wen®$ a good deal further than they do now.” When that story was told by the boyhood friends of George Washington it was not a dollar that he threw across the river, but stones—just stones. He threw stones across the river is the way the story ran. That helps to make the story plausible. But you will say “George Washington threw stones across the Potomac river.” In Wash- ington's time that stone-throwing Potomac river. The Potomac river at the farm be- tween Bridge and Popes creeks, where ‘Washington was born, is about four miles wide, and nobody ever said that young George threw stones across that river. When George was about six years old his father and mother, Mary Washington, Va. That farm has sometimes been called the Ferry farm and sometimes the. Pine Tree farm. It is on the Rap- pahannock river, gpposite what is now the lower end of Fredericksburg. George lived part of his boyhood there, spent part of his time with his creek farm and when about sixteen half-brother, Lawrence, at Mount Ver- n on. It was while he was a boy on the farm on the Rappahannock river, |eross from Frederickaburg, that the stone throwing took place. The Rap- pahannock river is narrow there. It is a good, long throw, but most base stone from one shore to the other. It is not a marvelous feat at all. The Rev. Mason Locke Weems, a pastor of the Washingtons, in the first biography of George Washington pub- lished, wrote that Col.

Maj. John Carlyle, who built it in 1752, provided a means of escape for his family, in case of at- tack by the Indians, in a subter- ranean passage that leads from the house through the fort on which the house is located to the Potomac. Here they could get into boats and sail down the river to safety. The Original Story of | George’s Throwing Power had been heard to say that he had often seen George throw a stone across the Rappahannock at the lower ferry at Fredericksburg, ané Col Willis is reported as saying also that “it would be no easy matter to find a man nowadays who could do that.” George Washington as a boy was also a strong, fast runner, according to reports. Parson Weems, in his first biography, published this nar- rative, which he says was given to (him by John Fitzhugh of Choptank, which is in Virginia about fifty miles down the Potomac from Washington: “We had nobody hereabout who could come near him (Washington). There was young Langhorne Dade of West- moreland, a confounded, clean-made, tight-built young fellow, and a mighty swift runner, too; but, then, he was no match for George. i to give it up and would brag that he sometimes brought George to a “ti I believe he was mistaken, for I have seen them run together many a time and George always beat him easy enough.’ Parson Weems, - telling of the school- ing of Washingfon. says that George never learned a llable of Latin, but that he was good at writing, spelling, English grammar, arithmetic, survey ing, bookkeeping and geography. While at school he was opposed to fighting, often parted other boys when fought and often reported them to the schoolmaster for fighting, earning the ill-will of some of his schoolfellows by this *‘goody-goody” conduct. He and the other boys played “soldier” a good deal, but no especial significance should be given to that, because nearly all bo; play soldier and then grow up into mild civilians without any noteworthy mar- Williams’ school George,” wrote Parson Weems, was good at jumping with a long pole, heaving heavy weights and running.” €OL.
