SQUEEzER
CLOSELY GUARDED
AS A STATE SEAL
Navy Yard Workingmen Re-
gard Implement With
Great Sentiment.

You may carry away everything else
but that lemon sQueezer," say the men
of the Navy Yard to the women and
children who are hidden to their an
nual outings.
To hold a sentimental attachment for
mechanical lemon squeezer seems a
rather odd human quality. Odder still
! when the attachment Is formed by a
single army of hard-headed but kindly
hearted Workingmen.
They have owned the lemon sQueezer
in question for five years. They guard
IL with the same Jealous care that sur
rounds the seal of any State. They
have a sort OF superstitious reverence
for II. If 1t should become lost, or any
fatal accident befall its internal ma
chinery, they might not shed tears, but
they would be somewhat concerned re-
garding the success of their next an
nual excursion.
J. Walter Edelin,, secretary Of this
years outing committee, and who has
served on every committee since the
Navy Yard men began giving an an
nual picnic to the deserving women and
children Of the District ten years ago,
said of 1t yesterday, as he bundled 1t up
for reshipment to the yard while a mob
of hilarious kiddies were Yelling for
more lemonade at River View:
That squeezer has helped to tickle
the palates Of a good many hundreds of
poor children and mothers That's why
we nave a lOI IL Dub
the mems respect for it is based on the
fact that 1t has saved the yard many
blistered hands.
"A fellow may work around machin-
cry all day from one end Of the year to
the other with never a blister, but
when he tackles the job of squeezing
1000 lemons with his hands, that's some
thing different. For the first five years
the committee came out of each excur-
sion with blistered and otherwise dam
aged hands, and then some one suggest
ed buying this squeezing machine. 1t is
our. sole and visible asset from each
outing All else IS given away"
The equipment of Camp Good Will
will be increased today by the ad-
dition of three tubs, newly bought,
which were used for the lemonade at
yesterdays Navy Yard outing. Six wa
ter buckets, also newly bought, will
be sent to the camp. In addition,
the ice picks and tongs. that were used
in handling the ton of ice that was ta-
ken to River View, as well as an as
sortment of steel knives for various
uses and a miscellaneous collection of
hardware. will be given to Camp Good

Battle Staged by Capital
Sports-Police Keep
Eye on Party.

The success attending the efforts OF a
company of sporting men from this city
in holding a prizefight on the Fourth
OF July at Oxon Hill, Md, between two
Washington boxers evidently has turned
the thoughts of other members of the
Districts sporting fraternity to that
section.
Yesterday a boat load of men left
one of the Eastern branch lighthouses
bound for some convenient place on the
Maryland shore, where a fight between
two bulldogs was conducted.
Information that a dog fight was 60
ing to take place on Sunday in Mary
land, or maybe in the District below
Congress Heights, was received by the
1larbor precinct men yesterday, and
they Immediately notified Capt William
T. Anderson, of the Eleventh precinct.

Captain Anderson took measures to pre-
vent anything of the kind occurring on
District SOIL and he detailed Sergt. C.
A. Stevens and Policeman ]. L. elliott
and P. ]. Whelan to patrol the District
line.
IN the meantime the sporting men
had departed from the wharf in a
launch. There was a large crowd of
men. and the two bull dogs were in
plain view on the deck. The police
men followed them for some distance
along the river shore.
Watchman William Dennison, sta
toned at the Firth Sterling Steel
Company's works, at Giesboro, view
ed the party as it passed in the
launch, and notified the police. After
scouting around for half the day the
policemen were satisfied that the fight

There had been an entertainment at

The next day the little girl appeared
with the picture under her arm. Quite
regretfully she laid it upon the teach

ragged little form, "but we amt got

And speaking OF the interurban electro lines
II may be added that these roads now make it
nossible to decorate with flowers the graves Of
soldiers in many a country cemeter! which. un-
der the old conditions, could not readily be
reached by members of the organizations of vet
Grams and other bodies that aim to sec to it that
no soldiers grave is unadorned on this significant
occasion.
Almost every known variety of flowers that
bloom in the spring is employed to greater or
less extent on Decoration day, but naturally the
wild flowers of the season are especially popular
for this purpose. In the sections where the
season is sufficiently advanced the roses and
peonies are great favorites on this occasion and
in the cooler clmes vioets and the hardy "pinks'
are used extensively. In the more southernly
states the yellow jasmine and the honeysuckle
make admirable Decoration day festoons and at
Arlington and other great national cemeteries 1t
seems as though Memorial day has been timed
to ind the gorgeous purple wistaria at the climax
of its glory. The mountain laurel is another
floral favorite that lends itself to the purposes
Of the holiday. but Of course 1t Is not obtanabie
in all sections of the country.

character are also being obtained by means of
fine waxed crepe paper flowers. Such designs
are being employed to an increasing extent un-
der all circumstances where II Is necessary to
