Henry during the bombardment by the British on the night of September i3, 1874, and which inspired Francis Scott Key when he saw it still float ing over the ramparts at sunrise the next morning to write the Star Span gled Banner is now upon exhibition in the hall of history at the Smithson- ian institution.
 The flag. which is about 2Sx30 feet, has been loaned to the institution by Mr Eben Appleton of New York, for two years upon the personal solicita- tion of Dr. Charles D.

True, the social career of Mrs Nich- olas Longworth. as Alice Roosevelt. was marked by many notable affairs in Washington, but with the exeep- ton of few small dinners which were given for her shortly before she was married there was only one large entertainment at the White House which was strictly for Alice, and that was her coming out ball

HEREAFTER women clerks of the AA department of agriculture will not be permitted to act as private secre- taries or confidential clerks for male chiefs of divisions or bureaus.
 Secretary Wilson has no prejudice against them. but he deems 1t due to them that not ons of them be re- quired to perform services that will bring her into such relations with her chief as to enable eyel-minded per sons to do any gossfping He consid- CTS 1t better for the good name of the women employees in the depart mental service to make a rule that men chiefs of division shall have men IS private secretaries or confidential clerks,
 The fact that the secretary had pre- seribed such rule for his own guid- anee has become known recently through his refusal to permit woman stenographef to be detailed as clerk to a chief of bureau He is perfectly willing to have the stenog aphers

MONDAY UNIVERSAL WASH DAY.
Recognized as Such Over Almost All the World.

Why does nearly All the civilized world wash clothes on Monday? What has Monday to do with washing It was originally the moons day and was sacred to the queen of night. 1 read in a schoolboy's history that the Pilgrims landed on Monday and the good women immediately set about washing the clothes that had been soiled on the trip over. We might judge from that alleged fact that no washing was done aboard ship; yet the finest place for such necessary work of sanitation and blessedness is out at sea where there Is plenty of water and nearly al- ways a drying wind.
 The voyage of the little Mayfiower lasted 63 days. believe, and as near ly as we can now reckon the landing was made at Plymouth Rock on Monday. though some historians in- sist on Friday. It must have been vile and filthy vessel on arrival. with TOP passengers and crew going over two months without washing their linen. Linen? What did they wear ln 1920?

drawing blanks to cause them to re-
 main from duty. In the government
 printing office. where there are about 1000 men and women employed, there are only occasional absences on ac- count of sickness, while in the treas ury department, with about the same number of employees. the sick list each day is simply amazing. The same Is true of other departments in which the employees are entitled to sick leave.
 So badly abused has been the sick leave privilege that at the last session Of congress what appeared to be determined effort was made to repeal the law. but the matter was permitted to go over, giving the Keep commis- sion and other reformers an opportun- itx to make further investigation and secure facts and figures. If one is 10 judge by the policy of retrenehment and reform so strenuously carried out by the present administration. it is entirely safe to assert that sick leave will not be one of the pickups now en- loved by government workers after the next session of congress.
 There are in Washington about Sl,- 900 employees of Uncle Sam. The sal ary and wages paid will aver sl,200 each. male and female. This gives to each individual employe si00 leave money, and is ready on call for ofti- cials and clerks any time during the calendar year. but employees of the class stated are not entitled to leave until the beginning of the fiscal year -July

America has become a land of ner- yous emotionalists. largely owing to our sins against the dietede health laws of nature.
 "Only outdoor exercise in a cold eli mate would enable vigorous individ- uals of our species to digest the yiands forced upon alimentary organs enfee- bled by sedentary occupations wrote Dr. Felix Oswald

VACATIONS COST UNCLE SAM BIG SUM YEARLY

yly lyASHINGTON.-To his hired help " Uncle Sam is generous to a de- gree, going down into his wallet to the extent of something like s3.000. .eoo an nnally to give them a 30-days' outing at the seashore or in the mountains.
 This sufn is for the army of em- ployes in Washington alone and does not include the thousands of others who are on duty and on the payrolls throughout his vast domain and in foreign countries. Liberal lawmakers decided that ten months each year was long enough for employees to work, and that 30 days for annual leave At first this law was for the officials and clerks only, and did not include printers, pressman and navy yard woTkmen. Eventually these were given 15 days annual leave. and finally through hard and persistent efforts, the full 30 days. No sick leave. however. has ever been granted them, and, strange as it nay appear they seem to be the healthiest class of government workers. The govern ment printing office. the bureau of engraving and printing, and the navy yard are not olassed as hospitals for invalids," as the treasury and other departments are termed. Not getting pay for being sick, those not entitled to such leave manage to remain in extraordinarily good health and per form their duties with great regular fly. The employees who are not en- titled to sick leave must have some thing worse than a rocky head and

WILSON BARS WOMEN AS PRIVATE SECRETARIES

take dictation from the chiefs of bu- reaus, but he will not allow them to be detailed to fill positions the duties of which might require them to re- main after the working hours or to go to the homes of the chiefs to finish work outside of office hours
 Two years ago, when there was a scandal in the department, the woman who performed the duties of private secretary for bureau chief for sev- eral years. was brought into noto- riety altogether displeasing to the secretary. Although he knew that there was no foundation for the in- situations against the woman. he had to keep quiet and merely hope that the notoriety would not spread.
 A majority of the men chiefs do not want women in such positions. but occasionally one comes along who is SO we'll pleased with the work done by a particular clerk that he asks to have her promoted and made private secre- tary Requests of that kind are being refused.

Everything, even a magnificent church, must be regarded from the point of view of the beholder. A Lon don paper says that two country girls. who acted as if they might be enjoy ing a holiday from domestic service were observed walking down the aisles of St PauIs Cathedral. Under the great dome one of them stood and gaZed around her with an air of such wonder that spectator might well suppose that she was awestruck by her solemn surroundings. But when she spoke. the idea was dissi- pated. "Oh, Sarah" she exclaimed, wouldn't this place take long time to sweep?"

 According to J. B. Taylor, of the United States coast and geodetic sur vey, Col Armstead, who commanded Fort McHenry during the bembard- ment by the British fleet. took the flag after the rain of shot and shell had ceased and had it conveyed to his headquarters. He later gave it to his mother. who was a sister of MT. Taylor's great-great grandfather.
 Col Armsteads mother some years afterward, it is said. presented the flag to her granddaughter, who mar ried one of the Appletons of New York and Boston. Later Mr. Eben Appleton came into possession of the flag In his letter to Dr. Walcott MT Appleton says that he is pleased to loan the flag to the Smithsonian, so as to enable so many of his country men to see the ensign that caused The StarSpangled Banner" to be written.
