THE PENSION OFFICE FLAG.
Visitors Try to Guess It's Size, but
Come Far From 1t.

the fact that apparent size is but a mat
ter of comparison is constantly being dem
onstrated TO visitors to tine pension office
building. In the center of the court of
that building. directly over the fountain
is an American flag. 1t is common thing
wnen this flag is being viewed by visitors
for employees Of the building to ask them to
guess its size. The most common answer Is
that IT is about - by 20 feet. To a casual
observer ii looks no larger. The fact is, 1t Is
wider than most large building lots in this
city, and as long as many of them. The
area of the stars and stripes of which it
is composed is amply sufficient for the con-
Struction of neat cottage, with flower
gardens about 1t. The exact size of the
flag is "A by 80 feet. and IL is the largest
example of the stars and stripes in this
city and it is doubtful if larger one ex-
lists anywhere in the world. The flag was
bought by the government a little over a
year ago, and put in place on Flag day,
which was made memorable by appropriate
ceremonies which took place in the pen
sion office building, and in which all the
higher officials of the bureau took part. 1t
is made of the very best bunting, and is
not likely to soon wear out, as there is
seldom the least breeze to make it hut:er

CARE OF THE BUILDINGS,
Lack of System In Inspection and
Supervision,

S"PSEN ISiSH
There is sad lack of system in the care
and preservation of the government build
ings in this city. No comprehensive plan
exists for constant inspection by men
competent to judge of measures that should
be taken for their care. Most of the build
ings have superintendent, and in some
of them there is no lack of panstaking eff
fort to do everything that would tend to
the preservation of the structures. But the
care of the building is so apportioned
among ny different people that there
is not much certainty from administra ton
to admins tration that everything necessary
will be done
An example of this condition exists at
the pension office building. The interior
Of that structure has. since it's construc-
ton, been looked after pretty carefully so
far as the work of painting is concerned
But although the building was put up
woodwork about the window VS. exposed to
the weather has not been reprinted The
original coat of paint has worn off and the
wood is eH posed No landlord would allow
his property to approach this condition. in
wiling the rottening effect of the weather
ana dilapidation generally, If he were at
all wise in caring for his worldly goods.
Since the present administI al ton has taken
possession of the pension office building
considerable amount OF work looking to
the improI ement of that structure has been
done Alter little while the window
frames will receive a coat of paint. But
the existence of such a condition shows
the need of more careful inspection of
all the government buildings in order that
they might be cared for properly.
This whole question came up under an
other phase of neglect at the time of the
Ford's Theater disaster. when it was shown
that there was a sad lack of efficiency in
the knowledge of construction by men who
had power to tamper with the buildings OF
he government.
In less degree the same thing was
shown at the government printing office
The lack If a uniform care of public build
ings which can be seen by any one who
uses his eyes about this city has again sug-
eested to officials the desirability for plac-
ing responsibility for such work in a man
ner that would insure the proper care to
the real estate of the government which
has been provided at SO great an expense
From time to time every government build
Ing is unCer the supervision of the most
competent men, but there nearly al
ways periods when the opposite condition ex-
lists, and during these periods more or less
injury is done to the handsome structures

REAL Blue GRASS.
Not Found in Kentucky. hut Down in
the Apache Country.

Not Found I'm Kentucky. hut Down in
the Apache Country.
One OF the standing jokes of the blue
grass region is the fact that blue grass
is green. People who visit the famous rich
grazing country found in Kentucky are
often the subject for jokes when they want
the blue grass pointed out. But there is
n blue grass. a sample of which can be
found growing at the Department Of Agri-
culture, which Is as blue as a cloudless sky
on a summer day. 1t is a native of the
Apache country. 1t can be found all
through New Mexico and I'm some of the
adjoining states 1t is known as the
Apache blue grass. 1t has a broad spear
and grows a couple of feet in height A
field covered with it looks like a lake in
which has been dumped a barrel of indigo
1t is said to be one of the most beautiful
sights of the southwest to view great fiel,ls
of this blue grass. dotted here and there
with flowers. Especial attention has beer
paid to the cultivation of a patch of this
grass at the Department of Agriculture
where ii grows luxuriantly. and is one OF
the interesting sights to all visitors to the
grounds Of that department.

The condition of Mr.. R. L. Ford. a travel
ing salesman, living at No. 2515 Portner
place. who was badly injured while bath
ing, yesterday. at Bay Ridge, was very
serious at late hour today. and fears
were entertained at the Emergency Hos

would not survive more than a few hours
longer. He has been almost completely
paralyZed from his chest down.
Mr.. Ford yesterday. in company with
some friends, went to Bay Ridge and soon
after reaching there decided to take a bath
in the waters of the bay. Unfortunately,
at the place into which he plunged the water
was not more than two feet deep, and his
head and shoulders struck the bottom with
great force.
As a result his back was wrenched in
such a manner as 10 injure the spinal
cord Mr. Ford at once sank. but some
friends went TO his assistance and raised
MIN to the surface. He was brought back
10 washington as soon as possible. Owing
to the peculiar nature of the injuries but
little relief could be given him.
