•Congress Met in Eight Large Cities

Legislative Body Dodged British Army in Revolutionary Days. Washington.—Where the congress sits, there is the capital of the United Statqs. It is a settled body now and has b&en for well over a century and a quarter; but there was a time when it was moved from place to place, tijrough scenes of war and unrest before it finally took up its permanent • home on the banks of the Potomac. No less than eight cities besides Washington can claim to have been at one time the heart of America—Phi) adel phia, Baltimore, Lancaster, Pa.; Ycrk Pa.; Princeton, N. J.; Annapolis, Md.; Trenton, N. J., and New York In all of these congress held its sessions,) enacting laws, greeting envoys from foreign countries and striving for the establishment cf the new re public. One hundred and fifty ‘ years ago York, Pa., was the capital of the United States during a period when the fortunes of the republic appeared to be at their lowest ebb. On a night t in September, 1777, news flashed through Philadelphia that the battle of the Brandywine had been lost by the Continental army and that Gen- ~ eral Howe with 17,000 British troops was marching on the city. There was no time to lose if congress desired to avoid capture. On horseback through the night away from the doomed capital rode the congress of the United States. The archives and the treasury were hastily thrown into wagons and, escorted by troops, were hurried to Lancaster. In one of the wagons was hidden the historic Liberty bell which on the morning of July 8 of the previous year had proclaimed in ringing tones the birth of a nation. The wagon containing the Liberty bell broke down on the road and willing bands hoisted the revered token into another conveyance. Under the flooring ot the Zion Reformed church in Allentown it was hidden, to await the day when it might sound once more, in happier times. Capital for a Day. For 24 hours only Lancaster was the capital, it being considered wiser by congress for “the Susquehanna to flow between us and the enemy.” Again the horses were mounted and astounded farmers of the countryside saw tlie members of the government galloping past on the road to York. Here, from September 30, 1777, to June 27, 1778, the Continental congress held its sessions, enacting some of the most important legislation in its career. “Our affairs are said to be desperate, but we are not without hope and not without courage,” declared Samvel Adams in a spirited address. “The eyes of the people are upon us here and the tone of their feeling is regulated by ours.” «. While York was the capital congress passed the articles of confederation, which smoothed the way for the Constitution of the United States. While Washington and his ragged army were wintering at Valley Forge, in York, a hamlet of 1,500 inhabitants, congress went on with its labors. Presently the tide turned and the British withdrew from Philadelphia? which became again the national capital. Except for a visit to Baltimore (from December 20, 1776, to March 4, 1777, when the British were again threatening) congress remained in Philadelphia for five more years. Then came th,e mutiny of the Lancaster troops, aided by several companies of malcontents in the city,

GRAVES OF FAMOUS MEN IN OLD PRINCETON CEMETERY

Historic Plot of Land Is Given the Name of the “Westminster Abbey of AmerlC'." Princeton, N. J.—The fact. that a former President of the United States, a. vice president and a signer of the Declaration of Independence are buried in the Presbyterian cemetery of Princeton gives that plot of la -d the name of the “Westminster Abbey of America.” Few towns in America have ,as much historical interest as has the town of Princeton, and a spot of great Interest to historians is the uld cemetery at Witherspoon and Wiggins streets. It contains about ten acres and is extremely old, the first recorded burtal being in 3761. In appearance it is in marked contrast to the beautiful burial grounds of our larger cities.

and once more the members were forced to flee. That mutiny grew out of the unrest that was prevalent in the army at the conclusion of peace. Congress had been faced with a tremendous problem in demobilizing the forces of the country. Money to pay off the soldiers was lacking, and it was only natural that grumbling should arfce in the ranks. In Philadelphia companies composed almost entirely of recruits became so impatient that they sent a deputation of sergeants to the harassed congress to demand a settlement. This Was Mutiny. The soldiers of the Lancaster gar rison who marched upon Philadelphia had the same object, but they were well provided with cannon and grapeshot. Influential emissaries, sent out to meet them on the road and promise justice, were unable to head- them off. They effected a junction with the city companies and surrounded the statehouse. This was mutiny, and congress appealed to the supreme executive council of Pennsylvania for the protection of its militia. The council, however, was reluctant to order out its troops. As a result, President Elias Boudinot called upon congress to move to Princeton,, N. J., where it could be assured of protection. Within twen-ty-four hours after Princeton had become the new capital the mutiny collapsed and the soldiers returned to their barracks. None of the members of congress appears to have been too comfortable while the seat of government was in New Jersey. James Madison and a colleague were forced to share a single bed in a room less than ten feet square. The Princeton session, however, lasted from June 30 to November 4, 1783, after which a move

Bandit Considerate of His Home Town San Miguel, Allende, State of Guanajuato, Mexico. — Candido Sanchez is considerate of his home town. Candido grew up here. He was a bright, ambitious boy. ‘He went out into the big world and made his mark as a successful bandit. He became the leader of a small but efficient gang. Sometimes he sent money hbme to his poor old parents. Recently, at the head of his armed men, Candido galloped down the familiar streets of his old home. Doors were hurriedly closed and barred and shutters lowered. People cowered within their houses and stores, thinking the looting usual upon such occasions was to occur. They considered it not very nice of Candido to treat bis town that way. Candido didn’t. He told his former neighbors to have no fear. He said he had only returned to adjust a minor personal matter with a man named Candido found the man named Martinez, shot him three times and rode away with his followers without damaging the town at all. The people were quite pleased and grateful. Martinez was embalmed and buried. It seems he and Candido had a little difference of opinion a long time ago before Candido went away and became a big man. Nobody could remember what the argument had been about

it There is no imposing entrance, no keeper’s no neatly mowed grass or trimmed evergreens. There are a few graveled walks and perhaps a hundred thousand dollars’ worth of monuments. Its great appeal is not in its appearance but in the dust of the famous men buried there. All of the presidents of Princeton university with three exceptions, an ex-President of the United States, a vice president, justices of the Supreme court of New Jersey, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, members oi the Continental congress, a governor of New Jersey, officers of the Revolutionary army and several of the most famous theologians in American Presbyterian history are all beneath the sod of this cemetery. The tomb of Grover Cleveland, former President of the United States and a resident of Princeton, is in a large plot belonging to that family.

was made to the statehouse in Annapolis. The session there opened on November 26 and lasted until June 3, 1784. It was at Annapolis that George Washington resigned his commission as leader of the Continental forces. The ceremony was a simple and impressive one. The hall was crowded by the members of congress, officers of the army and ladies of the vicinity. The lawmakers observed the old parliamentary custom of keeping their hats on until the close of Washington’s speech, when they lifted them in respect. His final words were: “I consider it an indispensable duty to close this last solemn act of my official life by commending the interests of our dearest country to the protection of Almighty God, and those who have the superintendence of them to his holy keeping.” New York the Capital. Six years later, when New York was the capital, Washington was inaugurated as first President of the United States. The hall of congress then was on the site of the present subtreasury in Wall street. Clad in dark brown, wearing a steel-hilted sword and with his hair powdered, he stepped out on the balcony, while the crowd roared. The oath was taken and Chancellor Livingston raised his hand with the cry; “Long live George Washington, President of the United States!” New York remained the capital from January 11, 1785, to October 21, 1788. In 1789 congress voted to establish a permanent capital at Germantown, but an amendment held up the bill. Eventually it was decided to locate the seat of government in the geographic center of the country am to George Washington fell the honor of selecting its position. Two capitals, also, one on the Potomac and the other on the Delaware, were actually voted at one time in the effort to avoid favoring either the North or South. Scotland Yard to Open War on Motor Bandits London.—Coincident with . the revelation that crime had increased 27 per cent during the las. year, Scotland Yard began making plans to meet the latest form of desperado—the auto bandit —said to be* a transatlantic importation.. Considerable additions are to be made at the headquarters of the criminal investigation department—otherwise Scotland Yard —where the strength of the “flying squad” will be increased and the fleet of fast cars augmented. These new cars have already passed special tests at the Brooklands speedway. Although the active number in the “flying squad” already totals 40 officers and men, it is to be raised to 60. The additions will include 12 officers at present engaged on wireless duties who are to he released by wireless experts from other divisions. All the men at present dealing with wireless are crime investigating experts and their addition to the “flying squad” will be a valuable asset. Crops Grow in 24 Hours in Alaskan Tropic Belt Seattle.—Here’s the place to put in your spring garden. Up in the. tropical belt in the Liard district of Alaska, where British Columbia touches Yukon territory, Fred Perry, capitalist and prospector, declares crops grow in twenty-four hours. A number of florists and truck gardeners are planning an excursion into the region to investigate reports from there. It is said certain kinds of vegetables, as lettuce and radishes, reach prodigious size in twenty-four to thirty hours, owing to the earth being warm and filled with fertilizing qualities. Thg extensive valley is surrounded by high hills in which hot springs continually emit steaming water and mist.

The grave of Aaron Burr, who was once vice president of the United States, has been the subject of some discussion. Legend has it that the remains and monument were brought here secretly in the night by friends when the man’s reputation was suffering such great public condemnation. Aaron Burr’s grave is at the foot of that of his father, who was the second president of Princeton university. He died in office in 1757. In the oldest part, q plot about fifty feet long and twenty-five feet wide, the tombs are very simple horizontal slabs, most of which are in a bad state of preservation because of age and the fact that souvenir hunters have cracked off pieces. -The remains of Jonathan Edwards, Samuel Davies, Samuel Finley, John Witherspoon, who signed the Declaration of Independence; S. Stanhope Smith, Ashbel Green and James Carnahan are buried in this lot They succeeded each other in the order named as presidents of Princeton. Ridicule is friendship’s enem;

The Imperial Valley THE Imperial valley, comprising several hundred thousand acres of land, is located in the southwest corner county of California. It is tower than the Colorado river and its climate is “bone dry”—the rain fall averaging only about four and one-half inches per annum. It long was a barren waste where neither man nor beast could well exist and scarcely more than locally known. But, one day in 1904 the Colorado river went on a rampage, poured over the valley and into a driedup salt bed until a lake sixty miles long and now known as the Salton sea—the bottom of which is 287 feet below sea level, was formed. 4 Uncle Sam went to the rescue. He made his river behave. The combat between them created nation-wide interest and thus the world learned of the Imperial valley. The overflowing river had covered the land with silt which made a good soil. Irrigation followed. Abundant crops of alfalfa, grain and other products appeared. Now hundreds of miles of canals and ditches carry the water from the river to many thousands of these thirsting acres which required only this life-giving fluid to transform this dried-up waste into one of the outstanding valleys of the world and startle the nation with their productiveness. Fruits, vegetables, bdes. poultry, dairying and live stock followed alfalfa and grain and millions of dollars’ worth of crops are produced yearly where nothing of value grew before—all because of the overflow of the river which threatened to be a disaster but turned out to be a boon in disguise. • • • The National Catholic Shrine THE shrine of the Immaculate Conception at Brookland, District of Columbia, now building, promises to be the largest Catholic church on the Western hemisphere—46s feet long and 238 feet wide, its massive dome 90 feet in diameter rising 254 feet, its slender campanile or bell tower towering skyward 332 feet —Romanesque tn style. Exclusive of interior adornments and art works of fabulous value, the cost of construction has been set at $5,000,000. The crypt—unexcelled in our land, it is claimed —a veritable forest of rare marble columns gathered from all parts of the world, is to contain 15 chapels, with a main altar and will in itself ’be a noble cathedral with seats for 1,500 persons. Its ceiling, capable of sustaining a weight of approximately 1,000.000 pounds, will support the main, floor which- will seat some 7,000 persons. The foundation stone, set September 23. 1920, was the occasion of one of the greatest religious ceremonies ever held tn America. The entire world has been searched for embellishments, one of the most outstanding of which will be a huge reproduction in mosaic ot “The Immaculate Conception” from the pope. The statue of “Our Lady of Washington” —selected as patroness of this national shrine —is to stand in front of it anu present the first appeal to all visitors. Erected as an everlasting monument evidencing the love of the Catholics of America for Mary Immaculate, It will proclaim “The glory ’of God, the power of goodness of His Divine Son, the love of the Holy Spirit, and the intimate union of Mary Immaculate with the Blessed Trinity in her unique quality of Mother of God.” (©. 1928. Western Newspaper Onion.) Cactus Apples for Candy Near San Fernando, Calif., is a large farm, devoted to the raising of cactus apples, the pulpy product of one of the species of the familiar desert plant. The apple is used for the making of jellies and candies, or is eaten in its natural state. It has a sweet taste, and is about 80 per cent water. An acre of land will produce 500 or 600 boxes of the apples, which were selling for $1.25 a box last sea son.—Popular Mechanics Magazine.

It consists of 24,000 words) compared with Milton's 1*7,000, the Bible’s 7,000, Homer’s 9,000 and Dante’s 5,800. Shakespeare actually used more words than any other known author.
