Thursday, May 5, 1921 Honesty means more than simple adherence to facts in our words of mouth. Too many of us are satisfied rith with our honesty if we habitually tell the truth. Any labor honestly performed is not menial in the sight of heaven. The Creator did not intend that we should all be Shakespeares, or Napoleons, or Rockefellers, or Solomons, or governors, or teamsters, or printers. Everybody and everything is for a purpose. The ragweed does not wilt down because it can not become a great oak; the ant does not cease its contented labor because it can not gather honey as the bee; the sparrow does not quit its flitting because it has not the graceful spreading wings of the eagle. Nor should the housewife stop her humming in the midst of her home tasks because she lacks the voice of Galli Curci. The way to be honest in our labor is to have our heart in it. “There is always room at the top,” we are told. This gives us a false incentive. The Creator did not intend that we should all Teach "the top.” We people 1 here in Syracuse are as near to heaven on the bank of the lake as those who dwell in the Rocky mountains; we people in Syracuse can do our honest best just as easily as the people in Denver or New York. It was the great William Shakespeare who said, “To thine own self be true, and it shall

follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.” We do not deceive anybody but ourselves when we perform dishonestly the part that is assigned to us in the business of life. We owe it to ourseives and to the world, of course, to know our limitations and to strive honestly for expansion to them. Working in overalls with a smile on our face and a song on our lips is more to be prized than idling in fine clothes with discontent in our heart and sham surrounding us. While prospectors are searching in distant states for valuable hidden sources of oil, Jet us here in Syracuse show the world that .we have found the unending source of elbow grease. Q o Mother’s Day is an institution that has come to stay. Prompted by a wholesome and pretty sentiment several years ago, the suggestion that one day of the year be set aside as a special honor to motherhood met a ready response in the public. The popularity of the idea has been growing each year, and today finds practically everybody eager to observe Mother’s Day. Wear a flower next Sunday; write your mother if she is distant; visit her or have her visit you. Let her know that you appreciate her walk into the valley of death that you might be born into this life. She watched over you through the nights; she steadied you on your toddling legs and translated your wants from your lisping lips; she tied up the bruises and cuts;—she has always understood when no one else could. o —o The fellow who kicks his home town should not complain if he finds that in time the* town begins to kick him. Kicking is not a profitable pastime at . best, and people would do well to keep this fact in mind when they assume ( to emphaize their own judgment against that of the entire community.

A. Neff) ► The river room contains a ' chair which came to America with the Mayflower. The bedstead was used by Washington in Pennsylvania in 1777. In the green room the bedstead is associated with the history of Mt. Vernon household. It belonged to Mrs. Washington’s brother-in-law, Colonel Bassett, and was the one upon which • John Custis died at Eltham during the siege of Yorktown. On one of the window panes more than 100 years ago Eliza P. Custis, one of Mrs. Washington’s grandchildren, cut with a diamond her name and the date. August 2, 1792, and it is here today. In the cabinet, pin cusion made from Mrs. Washington’s® wedding dress, pen with which contract for purchase of Mt. Vernon was signed. In the Connecticut room may be seen the old fashioned fire screen with adjustable frame. Two cutlery cases attract attention in the North Carolina room, and a counterpane which was used 100 years or more. The hornet’s nest is from Mecklenburg county. Mecklenburg was called the “hornet’s nest” because of the fighting qualities of the Revolutionary soldiers who came from there. The mahogany chairs in the District of Columbia room belonged to Mt. Vernon. The ( Rhode Island room, one* of the '

I upper rooms, contains among other relics a table upon which was spread out for discussion the plans of the battles of Bunker Hill, Lexington and Concord. The upper north chamber contains a very curious old print, “The Shade of Washington.” It pictures the old tomb with overhanging trees, with branches so arranged as to outline the shadowy form of Washington. In the kicthen the culinary art is no longer practiced, although the crane still hangs in the old fire place and the brick oven is well preserved. The old styled pewter dishes and cutlery are still to be seen.” We next went to the barn, built in 1753, with brick imported from England. In the coach house we saw the ancient carriage, known as the lost coach, which was recovered and presented to the association in 1895. Then we went down the walk to the tomb of Washington. It is a very plain structure of brick, with an arched gate way in front, above which a marble slab is inscribed. Within , this enclosure rests the body of General Jeorge Washington. Above the door of the tomb are the words, “I am the resurrection and the life; he that liveth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” In the ante room-are seen two sarcophagi. The one on the right bears on its face the name of Washington, with chiseled coat of arms of the United States and a draped flag. On the other is inscribed, “Martha, consort of Washington, died May 21, 1801, aged 71 years.” This tomb is known as the new tomb in distinction from the old one. On the right of the path leading from the house within the ' vault rest forty members of the

; Washington, Custis and related i. families. The flower garden, : said to have been set out more •; than 150 years ago, is in plots on i each side of the main walk. The . i central space is occupied by a ■ circular bed around which are 'I four oval and four triangular I beds, the whole forming a j i square. Some of the beds near the green houses are very curious in design. The Kentucky coffee tree was planted by LaFayette in 1824. At the foot of the garden is the famous Mary J Washington* rose, named by Washington for his mother. Washington devoted much attention to the cultivation of trees for the adornment of Mt. Vernon, and many which he set out and cared for are still growing. Near the butler’s house is the magnolia which was brought by him from the James river in 1779, the last year of his life. On the trip from Mt. Vernon ! to Washington we passed the i Washington monument, and the '' agricultural department, and;! crossed the Potomac river over a ■ ] thirteen-pan bridge into Vir- '! ginia. Near here for forty i ] hours on the Virginia Heights. ' J On the right is Arlington, the ! former home of Robert E. Lee, 1 ! and now the Arlington National, J Cemetery. Here is where Gen- \! eral Braddock camped with his J army before that disastrous cam- j < paign against the Indians in the ' Ohio valley. |! We traveled over the old ! King’s Highway, traveled by'' Washington on his way to and ■' from Alexandria and over which ' i Sherman marched with his army ! from the sea. We broke camp on Virginia <

About 70 miles we came to the battlefield of Gettysburg. ■ Much might be written about the memorials,' monuments, markers, stone breast works, and the large rock on Round Top where much of the fighting was done. The battlefield covers 35 square miles. The ' federal losses were some over, 23,000 men and officers. The confederate loss was about the same number of officers and men. From here we drove south over the' road that the confeder- j
