sembly'' call, the signal for every per-
son in the building to come out on the
balconies surrounding the big court to
a height of eight stories. Standing
on the third balcony was the sweet
voiced singer, Miss Nellie Corrigan,
who, as the big flag was pulled slowly
across the ocurt. began to sing the
national anthem, 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner With her were eight or ten
young women who took up the re-
frain. Then the entire twenty
hundred persons on the eight floors
poured forth their voices which
echoed and re-echoed through the cor
ridors, ending in long and mighty
cheer. The Postmaster General joined
in the chorus. The flag, which is
fifty feet long and thirty feet wide,
is stretched ON cable from west to
east on the seventh floor. The bottom
of the flag reaches to the third floor
This banner takes place of the old
garrison flag which was loaned by the
War Department. The new flag is the
property of the Postmaster Depart
ment.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion has not as yet found a salts
factory solution to the problem placed
before it by the War Department as to
whether the Federal Government is
violating a provision Of the recently
enacted railway rate law, when it
accepts for the carrying of troops a
lower rate of transportation than pri-
vate parties are able to secure. 1t is
shown that both small and large
bodies of troops are at present being
transported by several different rail-
road and steamship lines at lower
rates than are granted to theatrical
companies, circuses, and such. The
right of transports tion companies
to grant party rates is not questioned
except where, as in the present case,
it is not made to apply to all alike.
War Department officials see no reason
why their present agreement with the
railroads should not continue, but

Commerce Commission. they do not
care to discuss the matter. Ii the de-
cision is in favor of Uncle Sam, it is
more than likely that the interests
barred from receiving the same con-
cessions as the government will make
strong fight for the privilege now
denied them.
Owing to the carelessness of many
people who send money through the
mails with the envelopes improperly
addressed or with no address at all,
the work of the dead letter Office in
the Postoffice Department has wonder
fully increased in volume during the
last six months and this is commented
upon in a bulletin just issued by the
Depal tment. One case is given where
the dead letter Office received a letter
from abroad, which had been address
ed to missionary in Africa. His
name was given but no postoffice ad
dress. The letter had been handled
by various postoffices there, as we'll rs
Europe, and then returned to the
United States. 1t was opened in
Washington and found to contain
$500 in gold certificates. The Depart
ment has learned the name of the send
ing Office and believes the money will
be restored to the sender. 1t is said
the letter is signed by woman but
her name or address will not be made
public.
Acting upon the recommendation OF
the Surgeon General of the Army the
Secretary of War has ordered that

regiment, or corps of the wearer be
suspended from the neck of every
officer and soldier, underneath the
clothing, by cord or thong. These
badges will be issued without charge
to enlisted men and at cost price TO
officers. General Barry, acting chief
of staff, says there can be no ques-
ticn about the great Importance of
such badges, as is demonstrated by
the thousands of graves of unidenti-

WASHINGTON GOSSIP.
Interesting News From Our Special Cor
respondent at the Nations
Capital.

Now that elections are over, men,
bers of Congress will soon be turn
ing their steps toward the Capital
CITY to begin the closing session of
the 59th Congress. Coming with
them will be the vast throng of
people from. all parts of the country
who make it practice to take up a
residence in Washington during the
Congressional season-some to transact
business with one or the other of the
legislative bodies, others to reside at
the Seat of Government just to par
ticipate in the social excitement. For
these reasons the hotel men, boarding
house proprietors, real estate dealers
and shop keepers are wearing the
smile that won't come off, in antici-
patton of the harvest that is to be.
All lines of business expect pros
porous period and judging from the
numerous hotel bookings already
made, the late corners will be obliged
to take about anything that is left in
the line of accommodations.
1t was an inspiring sight that took
place in the big open court of the
Postoffice Department Building, when
the largest American flag in the world
was unfurled at noon on Nov. 3rd.
This occurred in the presence of Post
master General Cortelyou, various
other officials and the employees of the
department, numbering some $500.

 All sorts of climate was encountered by the Kalamazoo travellers. At Flag staff, Arizona, they found two feet of snow. At Grand Canyon the ther- mometer was at zero and everything was frozen solid. In Phoenix the cli mate was spring-like from about a. m. until p. m.-like southern Michi- gan in late May. At other times it gets cold and the general advises all travellers in that direction to hang on to their winter clothes.
 One of the industries of Arizona is ostrich growing. The general says he found out some time ago that every body had lots to learn and he found that he had been containing a lot of ignorance about ostriches. He saw the big birds emerging from shells and was told that in eight months they would be able to outrun a jackrabbit and could kick a automobile into the next county. They gain their size h eight months but do not mate until plucked. as the story books say, but are clipped. A few months later the dead stubs are pulled out With tweeZers.
