SATURDAY JASTART He THE EVENING POST. FREDERICK, MARELAND. PACE THREE. HISTORIC HIGHWAY Approral of Plan for Memorial to Lincoln. GOOD ROADS CONVENTION URGES IT Baltimore San, Endorsing This Action be Convention, Gives Reasons Why the Mighway Should Be Built Through Frederick.

The plan of constructing a highway from Washington to Gettysburg as memorial to Abraham Lincoln has been approved by the National Good Roads Convention. The Baltimore Sun, commenting today upon this action of the convention, says: great and well-built road is one of the most enduring forms, as well as the most useful, that a memorial can take. This has been proved by the Appian Way at Rome. It has made the name of the blind Roman a household word throughout the civilized world for more than twenty centuries. "Mr.

Lincoln was eminently practical, and, if he could speak, he would surely prefer a memorial that would be a comfort and a blessing to his people, rather than a memorial which would be of use to no one. A highway from Washington to Gettysburg would be peculiarly appropriate as a memorial for Lincoln. The reasons for this are obrious. If the highway were deflected from the straight course, it could be made to follow a most historic route. It might pass through Frederick and the Monocacy battle field, thence follow the route of the armies through the battle field of South Mountain, thence to Antietan, and thence along or near the route of Lee's army to Gettysburg, passing through Hagerstown.

This would not be a di-! rect route from Washington to Gettysburg. But it would be the most historic route in America, including some sixteen miles of the great Toad over which trarel and traffic came from the West in the days before the railroads, and orer which Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, William Henry Harrison. Samuel Houston and David Crockett were frequent travelers. "There was a plan for making the Lincoln highway from Washington to Richmond. It would not be too much of an undertaking for the Federal Government to construct the entire line from Richmond, through Washington, to Gettysburg.

There bare been persistent endeavors in Congress to enlist the United States in road work, as it was enlisted in the administrations of Jefferson, Madison. Monroe and John Quincy Adams. A memorial highway from Richmond- to Gettysburg, lying in three States and crossing the District of Columbia, would be a fine beginning. It might be made to include a bridge over the Potomac to Arlington. "Two Congressmen from the Sixth Maryland district--first, Col.

George A. Pearre. and now Congressman Lewis, hare labored earnestly in this good cause. The aid and approval of the National Good Roads Contention will be welcome." COMMITTE TO MEET. Organization of Forward Movement to Be Completed.

PUTS DYNAMITE IN FIRE; HIS FINGERS BLOWN OFF Boy Finds Caps in Father's Pocket, and "Has Some Fun."

GOOD APPLE CROP PROMISED. Cold Weather Will Prevent Premature Expansion of Young Rads. Reports indicate that there will be a tremendous apple crop in the State next summer. This prediction is based on examination of the embryo buds, and for its verification depends on weather conditions in the winter and spring. A cold January and February will be considered favorable because preventing a premature expansion of the young buds.

These begin to form in the spring in preparation for the blossoming of a year later, and thus the foundations of another crop are laid while the crop of any current season is being delivered by the orchards.

The Albright College quint succeeded in defeating Mount St. Mary's after a fierce struggle, 32 to 21. The Mount St. Mary's team lacked team work. The Albright team worked well together.

Time and again Benfer and Heindel would work the ball down the floor and register a basket. These men were practically the whole Albright team. Around them the whole defense seemed to centre. Captain Malloy and Benfer were disqualified early in the first half and Humel was injured shortly after the starting of the second half and was unable to return to the same. Albright only carried six men and this placed them in a peculiar position.

However, upon the mutual agreement of both teams, Benfer was allowed to return to the game. For the Mountaineers Costello W'a8 the shining light. He shot well and passed excellently. Monday Baltimore City College will be the attraction in the Emmitsburg gymnasium. HOUSE FURNISHINGS IN MEDIAEVAL TIMES Miss Lillie Wiener Describes Home Life in the Middle Ages.

The regular mecting of the Fredcrick Art Club on Thursday' ercuing was in charge of Miss Ely, chai Miss Lithe Wiener presented a paper on the "Furnishings of a House in Early Mediaeral Times." It nas interesting to follow the development of this phase of life, from the meagre furnishings of the Thane's house. yet SO unique in their character, to the more ornate furnishings of later times. The tables, ceil cloth from which comes our word ceiling). chest. which was a most important article of the homes of rich and poor, the lamps, ingeniously contrived.

the salt dish used in common by the entire seated household; the prorender of the tables, all were most interestingly described in the course of the paper. The perches for the falcons were fastened to the wails; sheets and quilts were not found in poorer homes and forks in England were not in general use until the fourteenth century. In the Gothic period, more attention was paid to the decoration of homes by means of tapestries and mural decorations and wall panelings. The period immediately following found much attention being paid to the carving of furniture and the making of many household articles of gold, siiver and crystal. The development of men's minds found a counterpart in the development of the beautiful among their environments.

Strange to say, up to the fifteenth century no looking glasses were to be found where save in Italy and Greece, and these, of course, were the highly polished bronze ones. The buffet of today is simply a derelopment of the original chest of the Thane. The paper showed much research, and was deeply appreciated by the club. Miss Ruth Mullinix followed with that ever interesting account of the home of the Thane, Cedric the Saxon, an excerpt from Iranhoe. Miss Janie Quynn gare a reading from Gerard's Journey in the "Cloister and the Hearth," illustrating scenes in the life of the famous Erasmus, and giving a realistic tion of a monastery as well.

The next meeting of the club will be on Thursday, January 25. Daris Will Attend This Trial.
