A WASHINGTON Page 18 Perhaps you read somewhere or other that a history orofessor discovered that our own George Washington was partly of French descent. Well* this seems to have excited the French quite a good deal, but not ior the reasons that you might suppose. If you think the French pride was aroused and their national self-esteem increased, you*re badly fooled. The thing that has excited a great many oi them is that they think they ought to inherit some of George’s estate. There ai e about a dozen families descended from the French clan to which George Washington was supposed to belong, on one side.of his ancestry. These Huguenot families are all living in the neighborhood of the French cixy of Nantes. Some of them are quite well-to-do already, but they don* t find that any reason why they should not try to get a / little rnoj-e jack. And the prouerties of the first president, including Mount Vernon, seem to them like a juicy morsel that ought to be theirs. Not a bad idea at that. But wouldn t it a stir in Washington if any of them came over and moved into Mt Vernon. And wouldn't President Hoover,astonlshed? So, l?t^s end on that note of astonishment ana say 80 LONG UNTIL luiviu.
