dition to Mr.. Smith, are Admiral
field Scott Schley, retired; ex-senator
Louis e. McComas of Maryland, H. B.
+. Mcfarland, commissioner Of the
District of Columbia; Justice Ashley
NJ. Gould and other men of high stand
ing.
There are numerous descendants OF
Francis Scott Key, but it is about half
a century since any Of his family lived
in the old mansion. In the meantime
the neighborhood has changed and
looks little as 1t did when the old
families lived there in Keys day.
Formerly there were terraced grounds
leading down to the Potomac river.
Streets have since been cut through,
and the buildings which have been
erected have shut off the view the Key
family used to have Of the Potomac.
Shops and booths have sprung up
around the house, and it Is plastered
over with the signs of trade. Recently
1t was proposed to tear it down to
make way for stores, and this led to
the movement to buy and preserve II
and restore it as nearly as possible to
the condition 1t was in when Key
lived In 1t. The house is supposed to
be at least 100 years old.
1t was during the British attack on
old Fort McHenry in 1914 hat Key
wrote "The Star Spangled Banner"
He was temporarily a prisoner on a
British ship, having visited the British
admiral under a flag of truce to Sc
cure the release Of a friend who had
been seized as a prisoner. He was de-
tanned by the British until after the
bo~mbardment of the fort and thus
witnessed the attack from a point of
vantage. He waited a~nxiously until
morning to see which colors doated
from the ramparts and when he saw
the stars and stripes was overcome
with joyful emotion. The lines

at police headquarters to thank Com

A long gray ~raincoat hid his topical

Weather conditions have again DOM

most dispatches reflect the brighter
results of tardy sunshine. Similar I'M
certainty is recorded as to progress Of
the crops, while the cereal markets are
responsive to the strengthing influence
of a broader foreign demand 1t is
noteworthy that manufacturers con-
tinue vigorously preparing for future
activity, regardless of any temporary
interruption to distribution by the

The only idle machinery is reported
at footwear factories, where spring de-
liveries are about finished and fall con-
tracts have not yet arrived freely. This
tsR GeaS0nal ale-aHent and the tempo
rary reduction Of about one-third in
active capacity is not an alarming sign
A few small strikes are also inter
rupting manufacturers, but in the ag-
gregate very limited part of the
nations producing power is inactive
and most of the idle machinery is due
to the scarcity Of labor. Pig iron can
not be produced with sufficient rapidly
in this country to meet the require
ments OF steel mills.
