US. We had left the lights OF the city
far behind now and Were YEARLY fight
ing our way up the tracks that led to
the Potomac freight yards. We were wet
to the skin, cold hungry and desoiate.
Even genial "Spuds.'' veteran that he
was, of a thousand miserable nights of
storm and privation, grunted his disgust
at the weather.
Far up the tracks we could see the
lights OF the yard engine. as it grum-
bled TO and fro in the making up of
some train TO go out that night. 1t was
near midnight and the Potomac yards
were not the most inviting spot in the
world at that hour. Every now and then
some tired shack brakeman hurried
by us, his swinging lantern cleaning for
a second through the snow to be lost the
next instant in a world white The short
sharp whistle of the shifting engine and
the whining of the airbTakes Were the
only sounds to break the silence.
We paused in the shelterinS outlines OF

"Spuds was positive that We would find
some knights OF the road in the
'jungles" ia sort of temporary camp used
by trampS while waiting to catch ii train.
So we left the tracks and entered the
woods. "Spuds'' was right In Il little

and we received a welcome coupled with
an invitation TO get some wood. In the

the House committee on foreign affairs by
E. Clarence Jones, president of the Amer
lean Embassy Association.
The bill which Mr.. Jones was support
ir:; has just become law. 1t authorizes
the Secretary of State TO spend So0o.OO0
a year in purchasing or erecting proper
homes and offices for our ambassadors or
m nisters in the great capitals of the
world and for our consular stats in orr
entail countries.
This means that brains will eventually
be the prime factor in the selection of
American diplomats. and that the day is
at hand when poor men can afford to
accept our most important foreign mis-
sions without embarrassment. 1t also
means that standard of appearances"
is to be set by the government which
will hereafter frown on either lavish dis
play or parsimonious economy on the
part of it's ambassadors housed in gov
ernment-owned and government-main-

II can see no reason why as much IN

The first flag that was raised over the
Capitol was in December. 1901, when, for
the first time, Congress met In Washing
ton. Taking as basis Capt Chan-
cey's statement that an average or two
flags are used for each session, 1t would
appear that In the Ill years that Con-
eress has been meeting in this city DID,
flags have been used for regular sessions.
while the number that have been used
for special sessions can hardly be COM
puted with any degree of accuracy. A
conservative estimate, however. would
place the number of flags well upward
of half a thousand.
The story of the raising of the flags
on the House wing of the Capitol is prac-
tically the same as that on the Senate
wing, excepting the interesting personal
part taken in the ceremonies by Capt.
John It. Chancey during nearly half OF
the period the Capitol has been located
in Washington.
