OPPORTUNITY NOW FOR REDUCING NEXT WINTER’S FOOD BILLS Sugar and Fruit are so Low in Price That Home F reserving is Most Profitable # Every housewife has the chance to “get ahead” financially next winter by putting up fruit now. Fruit is in abundance everywhere and sugar is at a “rock-bottom ’ price. A little concentrated effort will result in a cupboard well stocked with canned fruits, jellies, jams and relishes from which one may dra’* freely throughout the winter mont is. Since fruit belongs in the diet, and should appear in some form every meal, the economy of a home supply is readily apparent. Mena planning is much easier when preserves, jellies, jams and relishes are within reach. Meats and fish are much more appetising with a tart-sweet jelly or sweet pickle as an accompaniment. And there is nothing nicer than crackers, preserve* and cheese for dessert. A bit of aweet makes the meal complete. The Sugar Institute. Enter the Nstionsl Canning Contest Shenandoah. lowa.

WALTZ IS BACK, NATION'S DANCE MASTERS TOLD Jazz Steps Are Doomed, President of National Association Says. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—The jazz dance is doomed, according to Thomas M. Sheehy of Chicago, president of the Dancing Masters Association of America, now in annual convention here. Addressing 700 dancing teachers from all sections of the country, Sheehy said the return of the long skirt to popularity has brought with it a plea for grace and dignity. Middle aged and elderly dance enthusiasts, Sheehy said, are tired of jerky, jazz steps and insist on dances which do not make a jumping jack of dignified brokers and others. “For the fast and furious type of dancing that was so popular a year or tw’O ago,’’ Sheehy said, “almost any kind of a girl would do. But for the waltz, a man must have a beautiful girl in his arms to fit his mood. “In Chicago the waltz already has made a substantial comeback.” Long skirts, Sheehy maintained, do not lend themselves to the stamping sort of dances which formerly enjoyed favor. It is the w’altz which makes the modern girl look her best in a long dress.

A xrandmother of Colonel Williamson Dunn was a member of the Harrison family of Virxinia and much of the material for this article has been obtained from family lore. Two other articles will follow. Friday and Saturday, to complete the story. BY VERNA THOMPSON THE children of Indianapolis still believe in fairies and in happenings hidden to dulled eyes. They will not be surprised if, on Aug. 25, thev should see the right hand of our Benjamin Harrison statue raised in salute to Rear Admiral Byrd, as the flesh-and-blood hero goes marching by. And these little ones whose ears are attuned to the proper wave length might hear the bronze lips utter these words, “Hail, kinsman! I salute you upon ycur achievement and victories of peace. War has failed. You are the symbol of anew heroism.” To catch the significance of the relationship thus proudly acknowledged by the quickened, monumental figure, let us scan the interwoven histories of the F. F. V., or First Families of Virginia, as the Byrds and Harrisons are called. We shall learn what are the distinguishing traits of families entering this time-honored circle

The earliest acquisition of Virginia land by the English emigrant, Benjamin Harrison, was made in 1634. Being educated, he became clerk of the Virginia council and was delegate to the house of Burgesses, to which honorable office his son and grandsons succeeded. an a THE immigrant had two sons. The one bearing his name became known as “Benjamin of Surry.” On the estate inherited from his father, young Benjamin built the manor house, Berkeley, now regarded as one of the oldest in Virginia. The second son, Nathaniel, built lovely Brandon, across the James river. These mansions were the cradle of the distinguished Harrisons whose name is woven through the pages of Virginia’s history and that of the United States. The next son to occupy the Berkeley mansion, was Benjamin, great-grandfather of President William Henry Harrison. Then followed another Benjamin, who married Anne Carter of the honorable and influential Colonel Carter’s family. One of Anne’s sisters married William Randolph, another Peyton Randolph, president of the first continental congress; the youngest sister manned William Byrd 111. The nex-; Benjamin Harrison married Elizabeth Bassett, of rank and family prestige equal to his own. He was Governor of Virginia, signer of the Declaration of Independence, ahd father of William Henry. When the latter was elected ninth President of the United States, he retired to Be -keley, his birthplace, to write the inaugural address. , 1 1 a a THE Harrisons were related by ties of marriage to the Lees of Virginia, and intermarried with the Floods of Surrey county, to which family the mother of Admiral Byrd belongs.

the Byrds arrived on the James just eleven years after the coming of the original Benjamin Harrison. William Byrd was the son of the honorable London goldsmith, John Byrd, and his wife, Grace Stegge, heiress to much land on both sides of the James river. These acres were augmented by large grants from the king, who asked in return that William Byrd should settle with fifty able-bodied men near the blockhouse at the falls of-the James, to defend the station from Indian attacks. William was high sheriff of Henrico county, member of the house of burgesses, king’s councillor and re-ceiver-general for his majesty’s revenues. Notwithstanding these many duties, young William found time'to return to England for his bride, Maria Horsmandon, daughter of a Kentish cavalier and a direct descendant of Edward 111.
