worm in this particular instance being

a position in society or in politics that
protects them from the opinions of
their neighbors, so they string along

A peculiarly appropriate memorial 10
the bronze tablet which Is to be placed
upon the flagstaff in Fort McHenry at
Baltimore, which stands on the exact
spot where stood the old staff during
the battle in 1914, says the Troy N.
II Times. 1t was the sight of the
Stars and Stripes floating from the old
staff which melted Francis Scott Key,
then a prisoner in the hands Of the
British and detained on a vessel which
commanded full view of the scene, to
compose the immortal Star Spangled
Banner" now the national anthem. Key
was born and lived in Maryland and
was an ardent young patriot, and his
temper is indicated plainly Ia the
verses which have given MIN tame.
The memorial is authorized by con
gress, will be of shield shape and prop
erIy inscribed and will be the only tes-
timonial of the kind in Baltimore. The
Sun evidently regards this as re-
proach upon the city. and remarks
Although Key was native OF Mary
land and wrote the national anthem
while he was out on the river at the
time Fort McHenry's batteries repulsed
the British feet as it was attempting
to lombard the then tiny city Of Baiti-
more, BaItimoreans have never given
much thought to henorfng the man
who was inspired by the city's gallant
defense to write the ode which has
since been the tune that has stirred
the nations heart more than once. The
Sun points out that while monuments
and statues have been erected to near
ly every other hero Maryland has pro-
duced, the memory of Key has been
strangely neglected. This is the more
notable because Key has been signally
honored in various other places
throughout the United States, particu-
larly In far-of San Francisco, which
. has a beautiful monument that cost
$50, 900. So the Sun calls upon Balti-
more to do its duty. and doubtless the
summons will be obeyed

Roller skating is quite an ancient
pastime. II began In the early sixties
with what Is known as parlor skates,
having india rubber wheels. "a the
thoughtful designer explained, so his
youthful patrons should not iniure the
drawing room carpet. For while the
clumsy things were tried and aban
doned. until Plimpton invented a skate
that could describe a curve on side
ward pressure OF the foot. and then the
exercise became popular and has re-
NAMED in favor ever since by fits and
starts. There are seasons for rolling
skating as for tops and marbles and
ball games, but no one can give their
precise dates. 1t depends on the ca
price OF a Juvenile neighborhood. Let
one agile boy skate along the clear
sidewalk, and presently troops Of imita
tors are rolling after him. cutting all
sorts of capers to egg on the daring lit
tie girls to the same performance.
Probably in the next century boys and
girls will be roller skating.
