Used just once in a while for cleaning grease from drain pipes or rust stains from bathtubs. Women were afraid to use it because it dried the skin on their hands.

FARBOIL W I w1 THE WIVES OF THE PRESIDENTS Letitia Tyler, First Mistress of the White House to Die While “HUSBAND AND SONS WERE DEVOTED ‘TO HER." Lelitia Christian, the first wife of | John Tyler, who stepped into the pres- idency through the death of Willlam Henry Harrison, was the first mistress of the White House to die there. She entered it as an invalid, being partly paralyzed. Almost her only pub- lic appearance before a considerable number of guests was al the wedding of her daughter Rlizabeth, which took place in the famous east room in Jan- uary, 1842. On this o ing to her daughter-in-law ert Tyler, “she gained by comparison | with the fine ladies around her.” | Elizabeth and Mrs. Robert Tyler, the latter of whom had been Priscilla | Cooper, conducted the sdcial life of the White House, It is a particular tribute | to Mrs. John Tyler that her daughter- | in-law adored her. Soon after their | first meeting the latter wrote to a friend the following tribute to her mother-in- | law: “She must have been very beautiful in her youth, for she is still so with her black eyes, her delicately molded fea- | “She is the most entirely unselfish | person you can imagine.

But she must have | been a woman of remarkable strength | of mind. From her sickroom, where she sat in a large armchair, a small stand af her side holding her Bible and prayerbook, she directed all the affairs of the household “so gently that none knew it.” All the clothing of the children and the servants was cut un- | der her eves and she directed “the mak- | ing of the cakes and jellies and’ cus- tards.” All this was done “without Letitia Christian, who is thus so ad- | mirably portrayed, was born November 12, 1790. She was the daughter of Robert Christian, representative of an old Virginia family in New Kent County. He was wealthy and influential and a | Whig leader. Naturally, she was much | sought after, but John Tyler was the favored suiter. Although he also be- longed to one of the first families of the State, the marriage was a good one for im. He not only gained a charming wife, who subsequently was a sound ad- visor, but enlarged his own fortune and influence through union with the Chris- tians. He was a Democrat and they were Whigs, but often they threw their suport to him. While he was a member of Congress Mrs. Tyler spent only one Winter in Washington. During his incumbency as Governor of Virginia they lived in Rich- mond. Otherwise, until he unexpectedly succeeded to the presidency, she stayed on their country estate. She was well fitted by birth and education to fill any social position, but she shrank from public attention. Finally her ill health rendered it impossible for her to par- ticipate in any sort of function. She was domestic in her tendencies and, despite her infirmity, a rare house- After John Tyler had gone to Washington, where French cookery had become the style, he wrote back to her that while the victuals presumably were very fine, he would far rather “dine at finishing | later he married again. | ward, forward and towards, upwards, Ll | [ IHIIIII\HIMI A complete line of Farboil Paints may be p In Weshington— H.

Today in Washington History BY DONALD A. CRAIG. ‘ October 19, 1864.—President Lincoln was serenaded tonight by some of the | Marylanders residing in the District of Columbia and delivered a brief speech | front one of the windows of the White | House. | In anticipation of the event a large | crowd assembled in front of the White | | House early in the evening.” The Mary- | landers of East Washington, who are | supporting the President, assembled at 7:30 o'clock at the navy yard and soon | thereafter moved in procession. headed | by a military band, to Ninth street, | where they were joined by a delegation from the Lincoln and John Club. | Thence the marchers proceeded up Pennsylvania avenue to the Executive Mansion, entering the grounds by the west _gate. | After arriving in front of the White House the band played several patri- otic airs, upon the conclusion of which loud and repeated calls were made for | the President. Mr. Lincoln, in response to these de- mands, made his appearance at one of the second-story windows and was | greeted with enthusiastic cheers. “I am notified,” began the President | “that this is a compliment paid me by the loyal Marylanders resident in this District. I infer that the adoption of the new constitution for the State furnishes the occasion, and that in your | view the extirpation of slavery consti- | tutes the chief merit. of the new con-, stitution.” 1 This remark brought loud applause, | and the President continued his speech | by congratulating Maryland upon the | adoption of the new constitution. | “A word on another subject,” he added. “Something said by the Secre- | tary of State in his recent speech at | Auburn has been construed by some into a threat that if I should be beaten | at the election I will, between then and | the end of my constitutional term, do what I may be able to ruin the Gov- | Cries of “No danger: we don't be- | lieve it” interrupted the President at this point. “I am struggling to maintain the Government, not to overthrow it.” | President Lincoln continued. “I am | struggling especially to prevent others from overthrowing it.” | Mr. Lincoln then solemnly promised | that he would do his utmost that “who- | ever is to hold the helm for the next | voyage shall start with the best pos- sible chance of saving the ship.” JABBY | | “Missis Hicks dug all around here without findin’ the bone I wanted.

They were friends. The first one was introduced and arose. His eloquence captivated the audience, and at the| conclusion of the address he received | deserved applause. Leaving the platform, he.made his | way to the rear of the hall and found | a seat in the last row. Now, it happened that the first speak- er's eyes are not as robust as they used to be, and while he can hear perfectly, he has difficulty in seeing objects at a | distance. He had | scarcely seated | himself when the second speaker, his | friend, was intro-| duced. Then fol-| lowed more elo- quence and ap- plause. When the meet- | ing adjourned the | | second speaker walked to the rear of the hall and said | to his friend the | first speaker, “What did you think of that address?” “Terrible!” was the instant response. It was unintelligible and disconnected. i fact, what I was able to hear was positively senseless and inane. He didn't | have a grasp of his subject at all. By | the way, who was the speaker?” | “It was L"” said the sccond speaker. | A flush of embarrassment spread over the features of the ecritic, but they finally left the building arm in arm. et Quite by accident this writer found himself in the center of a milling throng late Tuesday afternoon, when New York greeted the officers and crew of the Graf Zeppelin.

Perhaps it was the approach of fire apparatus The officer at the intersection, how- ever, did not halt vehicles and we continued. A block behind us the siren sounded and raced nearer and nearer. Sud- denly a motor cycle policeman _dashed alongside the taxi and motioned the driver to keep on the right side of the street. Then followed another motor cycle, on which the siren was attached. Behind it was a large automobile bearing high officials who had participated in the greetings of Tuesday. They were easily recognizable. There was only one car and the smart taxi driver immediately speeded up his machine and followed in the wake of the officials. Traffic by this time was being held up for the official ear and by keeping his front fender almost against the spare tire of the leading machine, our chauffeur contrived to take advantage of the openings prepared by the police. In this manner we reached the station on time.
