But more vivid than any flash of ora
tory, display of fireworks or patriotic
parade Is visit to that section Of
the National museum at Washington
d. c., where are preserved many not
abel relics of the War of 1776.
People leading nomadic lives of to-
day can scarcely realize that delicate
garments and costly laces of that
period of 1877 years ago have been
kept through SO many lifetimes with
out damage or destruction. Yet no
room for doubt is left by the anthem

Not only is the uniform of Gen.
George Washington to be seen hang

Country wore when being chirstened.
The buff of that full dress Continental
uniform is as spotless as when the
dignified soldier wore it with such
grace, and the blue of the coat lacks
even a suggestion of being faded.
Gazing at it in the position of promi-
