We will perhans come to the be- inning of Good Hope Tavern as the Rambler follows his work. It was a tavern in 1839, and there indica- tions that it was well knewn and perhaps old at that time Among the District land records is a deed to John W. Smooi, son of | George Smoot of the county of Washington. 1t dated July 26, 1839,.and is from John Marbury. Al- | exander Marbury and his wife, Mar William U. Fitzhugh and his wife, Elizabeth: John Carter and his wife, Eleanor: George Marbury, Martha L. Marbury, Matilda Marbury and James S. Morsell to “John W. Smoot. son of George.” The parcel of land sold is described as “beginning at the north- cast cornor of Smoot's Tavern lot, on the east edge of the Marlboro road,” | and containing seven acres. The con- sideration was $145.50, and the deed was witnessed before J. J. Shull and James Gettys, justices of the peace for Washington county. Thus, you . see, Smoot's Tavern was serving ‘“re- freshment to man and beast,” as the old sign very iikely said, eighty-five years ago. y * & CROSS tus Marlbore road from the taverm was Anderson’s black smith shop,.ezd that remained a landmark until horsgless carriage days and until men built a string of small frame houses where good old Tom Anderson and his sons blew the bellows and rang the anvil. The Rambler thinks that Tom "Anderson was shoeing horses and shrinking tires on buggy wheels at Good Hope in 1835. How many vears before that this man had been at work at + Good Hope the Rambler does. not know, but Apderson hought the land tablished Novemb, , 1886, Garfield which tells of Hill. By some mischance of the types the name of Christian Shellhorn was not given last Sunday. To leave | Christian, who married one of Simon | Noll's daughters, out of a list of Good Hope florists would be leaving a certain Danish prince out of a once well known play called “Hamlet.” I have not forgotten thee, Chris. Tam saving some facts about those fine 0ld rose gardens and carnation beds for dessert. s — Ice in the Tropics. N TURAL ice beneath a bearinug | orange tree is the remarkable sight which, during a cool spell, at- tracted the attention of the residents of Pomona, Calif. Through a wonderful coincidence of two very unusual events, a few per- sons were privileged to witness the spectacle. An orange rancher in cranking an old model two-cycle car was unaware that his engine had back- fired, causing the motor to turn just opposite to the customary direction. Speeding up the motor and throwing in the gears, he had backed through a Wire fence, a rose bush and a fig tree before rupturing the water hy- drant and being brought to a stop by the sturdy orange tree behind it. All that night the injured faucet continuéd to send up a finely atom- ized spray of water, Colncident with this there occurred a second wonder in the orange belt—frost visited the region of semi-tropic climate that night. When the sun rose out of the %rid desert to the east the next morn- ing he showed a veritable miracle, for in his absence the minute particles of water had one by one congealed on the rank undergrowth and low Iying pepper-tree boughs until they were formed into cold bluish monu- ments of solid ice. Such a spectacle of vegetable ice beneath tropical veg- etation probably has never before occurred in California and could not have occurred elsewhere. Then he per- fervid tropic sun beheld the sight and the thing was no more. HE most modern lahoratory equip- ment found in Hollywood or in any commercial motion-picture organi- zation anywhere is used by the depart- ment. This includes high-speed cameras for taking slow motion pictures, high- powered studio calcium lights, rapid developer tanks and drying racks. do- MAKING A SCENE FROM UNCLE SAM'S MOTION PICTURE, “BEHIND THE PLATE."
