V., wounded July 6, 1863, while skir- mishing in the streets of Hagerstown with the rebels after the battle of Gettysburg.” Fired with patriotic zeal, Ulric's father determined that posterity should recognize the family name as | one forever irrecovably linked with soldiery. He lit upon the idea of a tull military funeral for his son’s leg, later to be deposited in a box in the corner stone cavity. With Marine: | and bluejackets and high officials looking on, he stood by while the leg was cemented up. | Less than a year later the Admiral stood by again while his son’s dead | body was lowered into a grave in the West Laurel Hill Cemetery in Phila- delphia.

Then her older sister, Jeanne Page Howard, age 5, fell ill with the whooping cough. Soon afterward Grace also caught it. It looked pretty dismal for any party. But next door her two friends, Sally and Dicky Harris, children of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley R. Harris, be- came {1, too. It was the whooping cough. Well, the birthday party was held.

The more Superstitious visitors to the Capitol look wupon the catajalque of Lincoln as a harbin- ger of good luck. It has become the custom for these visitors to place their toe against the canopied stage and make a wish, but they seem to give little consideration for the spot worn on the historic memorial by their shoes. * % x COINCIDENCE? R!DENTS of Alexandria, who had their peaceful slumbers rudely in- terrupted near midnight Sunday and at 6 am. Tuesday, by the loud and continuous whistling of a steam en- gine siren at the railway yards there, are puzzling over the possible connec- tion of the whistle sounds with the shooting and death of Senator Huey Long. Although railway officials said that engine whistles frequently get hung up when their steam valves become stuck, they could not explain the coincidence of the whisties being scunded off at the two times when news of the shooting and of the death of Louisiana's Senator reached Alexandria. Already awakened by newsboys cries of “extra” Sunday night, Alex- andria’s sleeping citizenry was pre- vented for a full 35 minutes from returning to the arms of Morpheus by a steady rhythm of eerie sounds, distinctly heard in all sections of the | city and finally traced to the railway yards. Again Tuesday they lost an-| other precious hour's slumber when the whistling again joined the news- | boys’ yells of “extra” in réference to Senator Long’s death. * ko % “MISUNDERSTOOD"” AT 5. Il' young John DeCourcy, § years old, Somerset, Md., grows up with the conviction that women do not understand men, the experience of learning to ride a bicycle probably will be a factor in his conclusion. One of his neighbors watched John’s wild careening flight down Somerset's main street recently, certain that the end would be disaster. When boy and bicycle ended up in s pretzel-like tan- gle a few yards away, she rushed over to offer whatever aid the situa- tion demanded. But John was completely the mas- ter of the moment. Ignoring scuffed knees and elbows and the humiliation of his posture, he observed with a smile: “I guest there’s no more fun in the world than riding a bicycle.” VACCINATION IS TOPIC A public meeting to discuss the vac- cination of children as a pre-requisite for admission to the schools this Fall will be held at 8 p.m. tomorrow under auspices of the Medical Preedom Bo- clety of the District of Columbia at its headquarters, 1414 Sixteenth street, Dr Riley D.

JUDGE IS TOO SHREWD FOR REPEATER DRUNK Prisoner Denies Being in Court for Year, but Records Belie His Claim. Judge Walter J. Casey, who as- sumed the bench in Police Court a week ago, is not to be “taken in” by repeater drunks who think they will not be recognized. Last week Anthony Lopaz was ar- raigned on a charge of intoxication and given a suspended sentence of $10 or 10 days. Yesterday Lopaz again appeared before the court and when questioned by the judge announced he had not been arrested for a year. ‘While he was not sure he recognized the defendant, Judge Casey had an investigation made, the result of which showed Lopaz had appeared once be- fore the new judge and also had been in court two months ago. Judge Casey revoked the personal bond and sentenced the prisoner to pay an additional $60 or 60 days. Scot Vine 300 Feet Long.
