1000 employees gathered in the courtyard

nature of a dialogue between the flag
and the government clerk and the clerk

Flag Maker.
"But these people are only working. "

day when the boobies intercepted q
mob of suffragettes who were marching
upon.t the international horse show in the

The leaders of the suffragette process

to do so. declaring that they would i'm
press their demands for the ballot upon
the rich people attending the horse show.
Near Albert Hall fighting broke out.
when policemen began using force to

Vice President Marshall, the speaker
of the day, said pointedly that the nag
didn't belong to anybody in particular.
but to the whole nation. our nag
said the Vice President. our country.
Not the Democrats. not the Republicans
not the bankers, not the trades unions :
but ours, just as much yours as mine.
Some men see in the flag only an
appropriation, and are patriotic only
when. in stormlng the portals OF Con-
grese, they succeed In mulcting the Amer
lean people OF what Is not rishuuiiy
theirs.
The flag should be as the flaming
sword at the gates of the Garden OF
Eden. to keep out all that is worthy OF
the highest type of Americanism. 1t must
float over a people that believe In social
fraternity and social equality. tor tnere
can be no real liberty or fraternity until
there shall come equality Of all classes
Our nag must stand for body of men
who pride themselves. not in what they
are or what they can make OF themselves.
but In the good they can do Tor their
feilow-men--for their country.
cit must come to be the emblem of
Christianity in statecraft. and not the
symbol Of a Colossus overriding all ma
tions that are weaker.

United States Attorney Harvey Given.
who arranges for the bringing back" OF
evildoers of all sorta.
II all Washington husbands who de-
sert their wives were caught, the ex-
pense would be greater. There are quite
a few who are not caught, and the
chances are that most Of them never
win be caught Out of the two hunderd
who beat it, away from here every
year, fewer than twenty-five are hatiied
back In the governments yearly drag
net.
Bringing them back is where the ex-
pense comes in. Very often they are ar
rested In remote corners OF the country
in Arizona, New Mexico, Southern Cali
fornia, and the State of Washington.
The west is the favorite hiding place OF
the recreant husband. especially when
he provides himself with an affinity.

Two United States officers. as a rule.
are required to bring back naughty
hubby" That means the expense OF two
men on the outward journey and three
about 500, some OF the trips being very
short and relatively inexpensive. That.
however, does not include the expense Of
having him indicted by the grand 1urS
and tried in the District criminal court.
When a deserted wife lodges a COM
plant in the office of the Assistant United
States Attorney. the first thing Mr.. Civ
en- does Is to lay the charge before the
grand jury and have the runaway in
dicted for non-support. description Is
taken and the search to locate him be-
gins Immediately. Then follows the
patient watch and wait.
After hubby has been gone several
weeks he may venture letter to some
one back here. As the recipient Of the
letter nearly always parts with his
secret 1t is not long before the deserted
wife learns the hiding place OF her un-
faithful husband. Hurrying to Mr.. Civ
ems office she tells him where she
thinks her missing breadwinner may be
found.

RUNAWAY Husbands Cost
District SIS, 1000 a Year
Assistant IT, S. Attorney Harvey Given Estimates That

Hauled Backbone Nov in Hawaii. Ni

Long experience has taught Mr.. Given
that q deserted wife has exceptionally
keen ears for neighborhood gossip about
a runaway husband. particularly II there
Is boy or two around the house crying
for food. -wha. is more important the
dope" is usually good, and very few
hours pass before hubby Is quietly
punched
Sometimes tips" come into the United
States Attorneys office through the 'un-
derground" sources the government uses
so often In more serious cases. In that
event, a telegram to the proper ofiiciai
will land hubby In q local Jail and keep
him there until the United States mar
shals claim him.
Recently the grand jury indicted twenty
husbands on charges of nonsupport.
which Is the largest number ever indict-
ed at one time for wife desertion. OF
the entire twenty the actual whereabouts
OF only one 10 known. and he is In the
Hawaiian Islands. II will cost more
than 81 900 to bring him back to WASH
fngton. put him through the criminal
court, and start him out again under
orders as to what he must do for his
wife. II he promises to support her. he
will be placed on probationi II he re-
fuses he will be sent to the workhouse.
Takes Years Sometimes.
In the majority Of instances when a
delinquent husband is indicted the United
States attorneys office has not the slight
est idea where he may be found. Often
II is months and even years before the
small percentage finally caught are To-
Gated. And that means. in most cases
that the wife has to get q Job in order
to provide for herself and little ones. a.
she cannot get divorce under the laws
OF the District and is rarely a woman
Of independent means.
Mr.. Given Is OF the opinion that the
divorce law OF the District Of Columbis
needs amending. In discussing the pres
ent law, he said:
There Is only one cause for divorce
in the District, and that means that Q
deserted wife is without redress. unless
her husband can be found and brought
back. In my mind. wife desertion is a
greater crime than the one upon which
We grant divorces here"

The administration feels the record OF

control OF the entire Congress under
President Wilson-does not need q great
deal Of defense. The currency bill, al

Still. those who favor the early ad-
journment plan insist that the advantage
of insuring retention Of the reins Of gov

outweigh the chance of adverse criticism
because Of failure to finish the trust pro-
gram.
President Wilson unquestionably will
have the issue to determine. Congress
will abide by his judgment, willingly or
