Woman Restore Old FLAGS.

Some years ago Mrs. Amelia
Flower undertook the preserva-
ton of Civil war flags displayed
in the state house in Boston.
Her work was so successful that
when the nations trophies were
to be restored Mrs. Flower was
selected for the task. The meth
cd which she has followed is en-
tirely of her own invention,
though she acknowledge her in
debtedness to some tapestries
which were made a thousand
years ago by the duchess of Nor
mandy and her ladies.
The dyeing of the silks and
linens used was work calling
for a consummate knowledge of
colors. The brilliant reds and
blues and greens and yellows of
the old flags have softened and
faded until in many instances
they demanded hours of patient
labor to match even a few square
feet of a single flag.
The result of Mrs. Flowers
method of preservation is that
where the remnants of the flags
were in good condition or COM
paratively so, like the flag which
Admiral Perry flew in Japan
when he made the first compact
of friendship between the Unit
ed States and the mikado's en-
pire, the stitches are invisible
from from a distance of few
feet. Where the flag was almost
all gone the stitches appear as a
ghost of the past across the back
ground of the gray linen.

The enraptured society report
ers always say that the groom
led the bride to the altar. Just
as though she required any lead
ing.
The reason a woman thinks
she is entitled to a $50 set of furs
is because her husband is saving
SIS on the silk petticoat she
does not have to wear.
A wise man always finds out
what brand of advice another
man wants before he tries to ad-
wise him.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April IL
The Virginia debt case has monopo-
lied the attention of West Virginians
in Washington for several days. Gov
ernor H. d. Hatfield, Attorney General
Lilly, Counsel John H. Holt, v. B.
Archer and Robert L. Gregory have
been here since the first of the week
looking after the case. Judge John W..
Mason, chairman of the commission;
John T. Harris, its secretary; and
Joseph s. Miller, one of the members,
have been here also. Harry Duncan,
of Huntington, partner of Judge Holt;
General c. c. Watts and others have
been here all or part Of the time, so
that there has been quite home-com-
ing week for the West Virgtnians here.
In addition to this the Mckinley
Bennett wedding brought large num-
Der OF West Virginia people here and
it has seemed more like West Virginia
than Washington. With the closing of
the arguments in the debt case, how
ever, and the departure of those who
were brought here by that matter, the
city probably will be deserted again
by West Virginians, except for the
senators and representatives and those
others who remain here most OF the
time.

Wants United States to Make a
Simultaneous Response to
His Salute.
WILSON Nof 10 AcCEPT
And the Fleet win Not Be Re-
called by Him from
Mexican Waters.
tsY ASSOCIATED paEss,

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Huerta
has parleyed again. He demands that
his salute to the United States flag be
returned, simultaneous. This, Presi-
dent Wilson is practically certain not
to accept. This latest hitch at the
eleventh hour when officials here ex-
pected the situation was as good as
closed up was disclosed in dispatches
from Charge O'Shaughnessy.
President Wilson discussed 1t with
the cabinet Administration officials
said privately Huerta's counter prop
og hon would not be accepted. The
development confirmed the fears OF
those officials who expected Huerta
would eauivocate again. Any tnten-
ton OF recalling any ship OF the heet
now bound to Tampico was aban-
doned and those close to the admins
tration expected to see President VIII
sons demand for an unqualified apol-
ogy backed up. The text OF Charge
OShaughnessy's dispatches was not
made public but it became known that
Huerta's latest proposal was that as
his guns fired their salute to the Stars
and Stripes as an apology for contin-
ned affronts to the United tSates, par
ticularly the recent arrest of blue
Jackets at Tampico, that the guns OF
the American feet should reply to the
Mexican salute simultaneously.
Officials here were ready to
acknowledge Huertas salute of TWEEN
ty-one guns after it had been finished
with return salute such as prescribed
In naval custom and precedent. That
would merely be acknowledging an
amende honorable, they say. But to
return Huerta's salute gun for gun,
they pointed out, would make the
apology valueless. Ofhcials described
Huerta's latest move as an act to pre-
serve his own dignity before the Mex
leans of that part of the country under
b 5 control.
While President Wilson and the cab
met will decide what shall be done,
the opinion was expressed freely In
official circles that nothing but com
pfete apology and such salute as the
United states demands would be ac-
cepted now. While Secretary Bryan,
.Swhen ne took the latest dispatches
before the president, said the situation
was encouraging but not finished
and White House officials said the de-
tails remaining In dispute did not eff
feet the '.heart of the matter" it de-
yeloped that Huerta's counter prop
ositfon for a simultaneous salute was
regarded as another play for time,
which would probably not be counte-
nanced. All the latest dispatches
we're laid before the cabinet. Practi-
caIlv all the members of the official
family were said to be agreed that
there should be no further temportZ-
ing.
