. OLDEST DAILY HAS
' 144TH BIRTHDAY
Alexandria Gazette Cites His
tory and Visualizes Great
Possibilities.
Glancing backward at the fullness
« of the years through Time's misty j
corridors replete with vital events in j
the Republic's life, and peering into j
the uncharted future, in the belief!
that northern Virginia, contiguous to j
Washington, “is upon the very thresh
old of a vast growth and develop
ment.” the Alexandria Gazette of
Alexandria, Va., the oldest daily
newspaper in the United States, cele
brated its 144th birthday anniversary
Monday with a special number.
Taking stock in its columns of civic,
social, industrial and other lines of
progress, the Gazette visualizes "some
of the great possibilities of the future
m a greater Alexandria." Pointing >
out that Alexandria, the "Key to j
Dixie" and adjacent territory, lias a !
. population of 35.000 and is located
seven miles south of Washington, j
Alexandria's municipal and State do- i
parttr.ents in the anniversary edition ;
list those as among the city's needs.
Flour mills, shipping to the South:
« J lumber mills, dressing in transit: lum
ber vards. storage, sorting and recon- j
signing; clay working, unlimited do-1
posits of raw materials: creameries j
and butter making ulants. shoe fae- ,
torses, iron foundries, furniture sac- 1
Tories, storage warehouses, feed nulls,
artificial stone plants, machine shops
and paper mills.
Swanson Sees Bright I-utiire.
Dipping into tire future. Senator
Swanson, the Old Dominion's senior
Senator, in a signed story says
that "the future of the section
is very bright, indeed," citing as ex
pected developments the Arlington
Memorial Bridge, the Memorial boule
vard to Mount Vernon, "the dredging
of the Potomac River to a depth suffi
cient to permit seagoing vessels" to
reach Alexandria and Washington, a
greater Camp Humphreys and the
restoration of the home of Robert E.
Eee at Arlington.
Representative Moore contributes
to the anniversary number a
signed story graphically describ
ing the history of the eighth con
gressional district, which includes
Alexandria. It is a glowing tale of
» < the great, written by the scholar, his
torian ar.d lawmaker, tracing the
growth of the section from the days
when the Indian tribes battled for
possession of northern Virginia and
elk. deer and herds of buffalo roamed
* in the fields.
Gov. Harry Flood Byrd, also con
tributing a signed article to The Ga
zette's anniversary number, asserts
that "never before in her history has
* , Viiginia faced a brighter future" and
for this reason “the Commonwealth
should bend her every energy to take
advantage of her opportunities and
forge steadily to the forefront.” He
points out that Alexandria will be the
gateway to the Shenandoah National
Park, for which the present biennial
budget provides 5i.000,000.
King George 111 was still on the
throne of Kngland when the Gazette
was established in 1784. The paper
was read at first by candlelight and
its clientele during the interim of
nearly a century* and a half saw an
engaging story of the upbuilding of a
nation unfolded. It recorded the news
of Robert Fulton's steamboat on the
Hudson River, Morse's invention of
the tek graph system and all the
countless devices evolved adown the
years to go into the warp an l woof of
the Nation to place it in the forefront
of the wot Id.
Files Are Historic.
During the early days of the Gazette
the country was emerging from the
effects of the Revolution, groping its
way to the fullness of nationhood.
The pages of the Gazette bold the
story of the meeting at Mount Vernon
. of dek-gates from Maryland and Vir
, ginia with Gen. Washington to adjust
differences over the Potomac River , of
she convention in 17*57 at Philadelphia
to draw tip the Constitution of the
United States; of the election of Wash
k ibgton as first President and his in- :
auguration and then the tale was told,,
ip mourning, of the death of the First j
American,
The files of the Gazette hold. too. j
the story of the inauguration of i
March 4. 1401, of Thomas Jefferson j
and of the expedition in 3 893 of hew is ;
and Clark to open up a gr*-at North- j
west for the Nation. The War of 1812 '
and the event* leading up to it is de- j
scribed in the columns of this ven- j
era hie newspaper, as is the stirring j
>i< vi, that Andrew Jackson smote I
mightily the British foernen at New i
'dean* to end the struggle During}
he long years that followed while the j
Nation's bone and sinew were ruatur- j
iiig into tig- vigor of manhood, the I
saw its heme town grow from I

thriving with trade, with vessels from

y Three pistols, two gold watches, a
j. suing of gold beads and an antique
stiletto were taken last night by a
•. thief who ransacked the home of Mr.
P and Mrs. John F. Whitcomb, 3818 Al

the owners.
J* The housebreaker fled through the
2 rear door as Mr. and Mrs. Whitcomb,
e who had been attending a banquet.
h entered the front door shortly before
1 1 a.m. A search of the neighborhood
>• by police of the fourteenth precinct
>• failed to reveal any clues.
r The man evidently had gone about
0 las work leisurely, confident that the
owners would be away all night, for

seeded the three weapon* which

STAR FUND GIVEN
FOR COLD VICTIMS
Money Unused in 1926 Emer
gency Is Turned Over to Re
lieve Present Suffering.
A period of extremely hot weather
during the Bummer of 1926 created
considerable suffering among the poor
of Washington—partieiilurly among
families with young children whose
j dietary requirements necessitated a
'constant supply of lee.
! It amounted to an « mcrgency The
F, veiling Star, seek'ng lo nmeli rate
this condition, invited subscriptions
for an K'e fund. The response was
generous.
Emergency Passed.
However, the hot spell came to an
end almost immediately and be- tin
iest of the Summer Washington en
joyed comparatively cool weather.
The Star kept the fund In trust for
the donors, intending to have it avail
able for immediate relief of suffering
during the Summer of 1927. It so
i happened that this season was excep
tionally cool and there was no suffer
ing front lack of ice, which in any
sense could he construed as constitut
ing an emergency.
Tito object of the generous donors
of litis money was. of course, to re
lieve suffering, and its proposed use
; for the purchase of ice was only n
means to this end. It was. however,
\ especially intended for use in emer
gencies arising front severe and pro
longed weather conditions.
Used for Cold Belief.
The present extended spell of cold
weather, with predictions of more cold
to come, which has caused much suf
fering because of lack of fuel and ade
quate clothing, is believed by The
Star to constitute just such a condi
tion.
Consequently the unused portion of
the fund, amounting to $848.75, includ
ing interest, has been placed in the
hands of the Citizens' Relief Associa
tion, to be expended by them in minis
tering to suffering caused by the cold.
A check for this amount was mailed
yesterday to Ord Preston, treasurer
of the joint finance committee, with
this understanding.
