Noted Military
Unit To Regain
First Virginia Regiment, Oldest Or
ganization In Country. For
mally Recognl*ed.
Richmond. Va—The oldest, regi
ment in America, organized in 1680,
nearly 100 years before the Ameri
can war of independence, has been
revived after a brief period of lost
Identity.
Tire First Virginia regiment, bear
ing the stars and scars of every
American war, is recreated by a
War Department order authorizing
a change of designation, and no
longer is the 183rd infantry, Vir
ginia National Guard, the appella
tion given it directly after the
world war.
The famous regiment was organ
ized in 1680 as the Henrico County
rnilita unit and through stern ne
cessity became the frontier army of
the Virginia colony.. The records
show that at one time every able
bodied man in the county. which
embraced a very large area, was a
member of the organization.
In 1754 the First Virginia was one
of the most important Colonial un
its sent to resist encroachments of
the French upon Virginia territory
at the Ohio River. George Wash
ington then was lieutenant colonel
and later became colonel. Most of
the men were borderers, dressed in
buckskin and armed with small
bored. long-barreled pieces w hich
became known as rifles because of
the twisted grooves in the barrels.
The Virginians became renowned
in this French and Indian war along
the Ohio largely because of their
conduct with Braddock's command.
When the Revolution began the
regiment became a regular outfit
with Patrick Henry as its aolonel.
The records reveal that the regi
ment became one of the strongest
units in the continental sendee.
The First Virginia became the of
ficial guard of the new city of Rich
mond when that town was incor
porated in 1792. It stood to arms in
the war of 1812 and in the Mexican
war. In 1851 it included such fam
ed organizations as the Grays, the
Blues, the Dragoons. the Fayette
Artillery, the Eagle Infantry, the
Caledonian Guards, the Young
Guard and the Montgomery Guard.
me war Detween tne states saw
the First Virginia assigned to Kem
per's brigade in the army of North
ern Virginia. Throughout the war
the regiment kept its organization.
Hundreds were killed but its ranks
were continually filled by volunteers
proud to march under its standard.
The First Virginia was reorganiz
ed in 1871 its personnel largely com
posed of veterans. It was mustered
into service again in the war with
Spain and was reorganized in 1900.
The campaign in Mexico in 1916
17 found the First Regiment in the
garb of battle.
The regiment was known as ihej
lluth infantry of the 29th Division
during the world war and fought I
through the Meuse-Argonne and the
campaign in Al-ace,
After the latest war, wedded to
Jhe Richmond Light Infantry Blues,
the organization became the 183rd
Infantry under the army reorgani
zation plan Colonel J. Fulmer
Bright, of Richmond, was given the
command, which he still holds. It
was largely through his efforts that
the First Virginia obtained again its
| original name. .

Hen Afflicted With
Rabies In Davidson?
Lexington.—Whether a chicken
can reallv contract or transmit
rabies is a problem that is giving
some concern to Mrs. Henry Shaw,
of the Holly Grove community, four
miles east of here A lien that was
afflicted with what resembled fits
bit" Mrs. Shaw several days ago.
she reported to a local physician
this action of the hen. It pecked
her on a linger and she sought ad
vice as to whether she should take
the Pasteur treatment as a pre
caution
A mad dog is reported to have
been killed in that community
about two weeks before this lien
became ill. The hen died shortly
after attacking Mrs. Shaw. It had
been dead for five days before re
port was made to the physician so
it was not practicable to send the
head to Raleigh for examination.
Dr. G. C. Gambrell, county health
officer, communicated with Dr. C.
A. Shore bv telephone and was in
formed that the latter had never
known a chicken to have rabies,
though fowls had been inoculated in
experiments. He did not advise
taking the Pasteur treatment.
Raskob Has Sheme
For Little Fellow
Suggest* Plan For Building l?p
Estate To Provide For
Old Age.
New York.—John J. Raskob,
chairman of the Democratic na
tional committee and former chair
man of the finance committee of
General Motor corporation, outlin
ed an idea which he had had under
consideration for several months
whereby he believes persons with
small incomes could systematically
build up estate to care for them
selves in their old age.
His whole idea, as he explained it,
is to give the '‘little fellow," who
cannot save very much a chance to
make his savings account.
Briefly, his plan is to enable the
“little fellow," to buy himself an
estate on the installment plan, as
he now is buying his automobile.
It is modelled somewhat after the
Investment trust idea combined
with the General Motor Accept
ance corporation, which he organiz
ed 10 years ago. His investment
company would furnish the invest
ment. His “acceptance corporation”
would advance the money for the
purchase of the investment, some
what as the General Motors Ac
ceptance corporation advances
money for the purchase of automo
biles. The stock would be paid for
on the installment plan.
Mr. Raskob said the plan now is
in a formative state only. He may
never carry it out at all or he may
do so in the next year. So far. he
said, he has only talked it over with
economists and bankers. whose
identities he declined to reveal.
His investment company would
Invest only in common stocks stand
ard industrial organizations There
would be no speculating "buying
tor selling"-—he said, and the com
pany would not be permitted to go
into debt, Thus, in case of a tem
porary slump in the nation pros
perity, there would be no danger
of its assets being wiped out. And
the company would endeavor to
control the markrt price of Us
dock to prevent fictitious valua
tions. The selling price of its stock
would be held down to its actual
value.
Operating alongside this company
but separately, would be the "ac
ceptance corporation.” The investor
could borrow money from this cor
poration to pay for the stocks in the
investment company. using the
stock as collateral, and paying off j
the indebtedness by lire month.

Home Run Leader
Old Days Wants
Crack At New Ball
Place Of Honor
Chicago.—Back in the days when
a home rim was a national event
instead of a yawn, Frank Schulte
was a home run king. Years ago
that was, before the lively ball
danced Its dreadful way into pitch
ers’ nightmares.
“Wildfire,” claimed now by age,
the automobile business and Cali
fornia sunshine was coming around
out at Cub park recently, looking
wistfully at the present peppy ball.
“In my time fans went to see
the great pitchers work,” he ob
served. "Positive announcement
that Christy Mathcwson, Mordecai
Brown. Fd Walsh or one of half a
dozen others would pitch brought
out a big crowd.
“Now they go to sec Babe Ruth
or Rogers Horn:,by or Hack Wil
• on or some great hitter. Perhaps
the lively ball has done it”
Thqre was a touc^i of regret in
his voice. What he might have
done to that ball! Had it only
come sooner.
“I'd just like to'sec Nap Lajoie
clouting the present ball,'’ he
wished.
Schulte thinks the Cubs are pen
nant winners—and here's why:
"When I was a youngster with
the Cubs—in 1906—we were going
pretty hot. I think we won 116
games that year, more than any
team had ever won or has since.
“There w-as a lot of stuff in the
papers comparing our team to the
famous Anson team of 20 years
before. It used to burn me up. I
thought our outfit was pretty good,
with Tinker, Evers; Chance, Pat
Moran and others.
" 'Some day.' I said. 'I'll be an
old timer and has-been and the
Cubs will have another good team.
If anybody asks me then to com
pare that team with ours I'm going
to say we never were rs good as
the new team!’
"So that's why I think the 1929
Cubs are the best of them all and
sure to grab the pennant."
AMERICAN EAGLE REMOVED
FROM FLOOR OF BAR ROOM
Havana.—A controversy between
members of the Havana Post of the
American legion and proprietors of
a new Havana bar room over use
of American silver dollars as floor
tiling in the saloon, was settled by
the removal of the dollars from the
floor.
The matter had been referred to
the American embassy here with
the request that a formal protest
be entered with the Cuban state
department. ‘ Desecration of the
American eagle,” was the charge.
The Pathfinder.
‘'Piddling for worms” is the name
given to an old method used by
the stake. Similar results are somc
within a radius of 20 or 25 feet of
fishermen to induce angleworms to
come to the surface.
A stake or piece of board is
driven into the ground and a ras
piny or shuddering vibration is pro
duced by draw ing an iron bar of a
board over tire stake or upright
piece. In a short time earthworms
begin to emerge from the earth
times obtained by merely tapping
or hammering on the ground in a
place where there are evidences of
the presence of worms. An elec
trical process consists of vibrating
the soil by sending a current through
two rods connected by wires.
Scientists are not agreed as to
what causes the worms to emerge
from the agitated ground. Earth
worms are very sensitive to vi
brations in the earth and if they
happen to be on the surface the
least jar will send them to their
burrows. The worms may come
to the surface to escape the vi
bration; or they may, as one au
