Protect the Flag Also.

The American Red Cross has asked
the SolicitOr-Geheral to tprotect their
emblem and name from misuse for adj
vertising purposes. Miss Clara Barton,
about 1893 got Congress to pass 4 law
protecting the Red. Cross from such ad-
vertising and to cdselaredthe use of the
emblem for charitable purposes only.
Miss Barton felt that a law of this char
acter quite properly rounded out her
many years of ardnous service in this
behalf. 1t will be lremambered that
Miss Clara Barton after the wer of the
active in the hospital service in the
Franco-Prussian war. When she re-
turned to the United States she brought
with her the rules OF the Association
over there and started an organization
in the United States, and for about 80
years was its head.
Miss Parton several years ago gave
up the Red Cross work and turned all
her time and energy toward 'frst-aid"
organizations, in which she has been
as splendidiy successful as she was in
the Red Cross work.
Vt seems that the law protecting the
Red Cross has been very badly enforced
and that it is being used for ali SORTS
of fake advertising; hence this renewed
effort to protect IL.
Perhaps while Congress is about it, it
might be a wise and patriotic thing to
also protect the American Flag from
degrading and mutilating advertising.
as, after all, 1t is the American Flag
that protects the Red Cross in this
country.

Death of Miss Desha.


Miss Mary Desha is dead The Ma
tional Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution has lost the sec
ond one of it's four founders. These
founders were Mrs. Mary S. Lockwood,
who is credited with the unusual dis
tinction of having used her pen so eff
fectively as to bring a real OrganiZa ton
into existence; Miss Eugenia Washing
ton. who died two or three years ago:
Mrs. Tllen Hardin Walworth and Miss
Mary Desha. Miss Desha was almost
20 years of age and had been in fall
ing health for some time. She was
out walking, not very far from her
home, when she was stricken with apo
plexy Her sudden death was dread
full shock to all her friends.
Miss Desha had always been popu-
lar in the social circle of Washing
ton, and had made finally life work
of the D. A. r. organization. She came
of well-known Kentucky family ana
was a sister-in-Iaw OF w. c. p. Breck-
enridge, at one time a National figure
in the House of Representatives Dur
ing the war of the rebellion, Miss Desha
and her sister, Mrs. Breckenridge, were
employed as army nurses in the Con-
federate service. and Miss Desha had
always been active in promoting the
interests of the Daughters of the Con-
federacy. She was an unreconstructed
rebel il there ever was one, and Old
Glory received small attention from her.
She once said to the writer that there
was no halo about 1t for her; that the
greatest battles of the Revolution had
been fought under other flags, and that
it was entitled to no reverence from
her.
Miss Desha's body lay in state in
Continental Memorial Hall for day,
and exercises were held there, the beau
tiful little marble temple being crowd
ed with members of the organization
and Miss Desha's friends. Mrs. Mathew
L. Scott, President-General of the
Daughters of the American Revolution.
said of Miss Desha: Her loss will be
greatly felt by the officers and men,
bers of the ID. A. r., with which She
has been prominently identified since
1t was founded. 1t was her brain which
conceived the idea of forming the or
ganization." The President-General
was active in seeing that, every honor
possible was given by the organization
to Miss Desha. Her body was taken
to Richmond and placed in the fam
lily cemetery there.

DR. Walter Wynian, Surgeon General
of the Marine Hospital Service. is seri-
ously alarmed at the increase of pella-
gra in this country, He says there have
been $4,000 cases discovered in one
State. 1t is only a few years ago that
the SUPERINTENDENT reported pellagra
practically unknown in the United
States, and now he, says cases have been
reported from 80 States and the District
of Columbia. HeI thinks it necessary
for the purpose of, serving the interests
of public .health that the Government
shall take cogniZance of the growth of
the maIady. DR.. wyman does not agree
with many very eminent scientists as to
what causes pellagra.9 He declares it to
be disease of obscure origin, and says
that the medical profession has made
little progress in ascertafning the cause
of the disease, and thati1they have, all
failed thus far to find Ia remedy. 1t
seems a little odd that the disease pre-
walls more largely in rural communities.
This makes it difficult to have trained
investigators to study the nature of it.

Ignorance of the history of the Unit
ed States seems to be the proper caper.
At least there are so MANY people ig-
norant of the details of shistory that it
is certain it must be proper or that kind
of ignorance wouldn't be so. For in
stance, there were a lot of people up at
the Capitol the other day. being taken
around the Capitol Building by their
Senators and members Cof the House.
Among other rooms visited was that of
Vice President Sherman's Now, there
are a lot of buSts of Vice Presidents in
and around the Vice Presidents room
and the Senate lobby. Among them
these guests, with their Senators and
Representatives stopped to survey that
of one Lafayette Foster. which stands
in the Vice Presidents room, and there
was not a bloomin' one who could tell
why man named Foster should have
"vice President" attached to his name.
OF course, some inquiring persons
wanted to know the why of this, and
there was a hustling around for in
formation which it was really hard to
discover. and when it was discovered
the facts were less than so years old.
Lafayette Foster. of course, was never
elected Vice President of the United
States. He was a Republican Senator
from Connecticut, serving from 1855 to
March, 1857. He was acting as Presi-
dent pro tempore Of the Senate for a
short time and when Andrew johnson
succeeded to the Presidency Senator
Foster as Acting President pro tempore
became Vice President of the United
States and presided over the Senate ses-
sions. For this honor he is entitled to
bust among the dead and gone Vice
Presidents of the United States. for of
course, he died years ago, on Sept 10,
1880 And this is why Lafayette Fos-
ter's bust is one of the decorations of
the chamber of Vice Presidents of the
United States.

Parenthetically, it might be stated
that Superintendent Woods is not
troubling himself in the least about
Capt. Kids money, nor has there been
any digging done on the Capitol
Grounds up to now; nor will there ever
be any done for that purpose with his
consent.
