Messengers of Peace.


AT the unfurling of the flag at the
Union station, October "a, 1914. there
stood, as if on dress parade. a large
Hock OF pigeons on the roof of the
building engaged in "watchful wait
ing, and seemingly as much inter-
ested in the ceremonies as were their
elder brothers. the human beings gath
cred there to pay homage to the Stars
and Stripes.
When "Old Glory" reached the top
tered to the breeze. the startled flock
OF pigeons swept from the roof. and
encircling the grand old flag several
times as If in welcome. again stood at
attention on the roof of the station
In watching the circling fight of the
pigeons it seemed that it meant an
omen Of good for the flag, the nation.
and Its Capital city. 1t may have been
that the God Of peace, who placed HIS
bow in the sky to show that there
should be no more a war of waters to
threaten the soas of men, sent these
winged messengers to say to the world
that through this gateway to our city
soon should come the representatives
OF the nations now at war, and under
the Star Spangled Banner shall settle
all quarrels that make for discord and
war, and peace shall follow In their
stead.
When that time arrives, the pigeons
will circle above them, and each star
and stripe of the flag will say to the
four winds of heaven that they greet
and welcome them.

Politics and War

The land is full of candidates,
the smaller ones and heavy
weights; what are they toiling
for? They cannot make the peo-
pie pay attention to the things
they say, unless they talk of war.
Our bulwarks and our sweetest
boons are valued less than musty
prunes as topics of the day; the
tariff and the income tax were
both sent groggy to their backs
by rumors of the fray. In vain
the orator uprears and tries to
fill the voters ears with tiresome
politics; some fellow whispers,
"The reports say Russia took
chain of forts, and crossed the
river Pkvwlwyx." The whisper
travels round the hall in vain the
orator may bawl about the flag
that flies; the voters sit around
and bet that Russia will be hum
bled yet, or just contrariwise.
Once more the speaker wildly
tries to hold the voters ears and
eyes, and yells about the trusts;
but at the door a newsboy
shrieks, ooh, wuxtra! Denmark
dares the Creeks" and then that
meeting busts. The voters canter
down the aisle and through the
door in Maud S. style an extra"
to obtain; and in the hall, de-
pressed, alone, the orator lets out
a groan that's charged with grief
and pain. WALT MASON.

the work, is being brought to Alexan-
dria from Maine, and a big barge is

ing of the acid factory the supply of
pyrites was obtained from the Cabin
John mine at Quantico, Va, and was
brought to Alexandria aboard a big
lighter. Cave-ins at the mine. it is
stated, has put an end to operations
there for the present.

Local Organization to Aim Now to
Prevent Accidents of
All Sorts.

Washington today has general

which is to prevent accidents of all
sorts.
The Street Safety Association Of the
District was changed to the Washing
ton Safety Association at a special
meeting Of the organization held last
evening in the reception parlor of the
Savoy apartment, 14th and Girard
streets northwest. By it's action in
changing from an association for the
prevention of street accidents only to
one whose scope includes all sorta of
accidents, the body does not in any
accidents, but hopes to further its work
for the welfare of the citizens of the
District.
From time to time, as the Street Safe
ty Association, it was found impos-
sible for the members to take up many
matters which were brought to their
attention. because the constitution linn
tied action. The object of the new or
ganization, as outlined last evening, is
the prevention of accidents S fety
first" is the motto of the Washington
Safety Association.

in order to arouse interest in the

Reports were made by the five di-
rectors who were recently given police
authority, stating that they warned a
number of vehiclists that they We're
violating the law. 1t is not the inten-
ton of the organization to prosecute ex-
cept in the case of fragrant violations

OLD POST OFFICE CLOCK
STOPS WITH CONGRESS
Big Timepiece Quits Recording
Hours and Business Men Are Vic
Tins Of Its Little Joke.

The heart of the poor old post Office
clock Is broken.
Congress, to whom it had always ex-
pected to be guide. philosopher and
friend, has adjourned, and the con-
gressmen who for eighteen months
have been gazing at the broad, open
ton no more.
Last Tuesday. when it became def
nitely known that Congress was going
to quit work. the old clock became
sulky. Worried lines appeared in the
face of the post office official whose
duty it is to act as the clocks valet.
Then, all Of sudden. like the one
horse shay, the old clock quit.
1t chose the hour of II noon to stop.
and for two days it didn't move an
buster, and the old chronometer took
heart. 1t staggered along until it
reached twenty minutes after 6-then
came adjournment The clocks hands
still give the lie to Father Time by
stoutly asserting that it is $40.
Misleads Tarrying Business Men.
Some of Washington's tired business
men, foregathering in the chemistry
department of certain downtown hotels,
have gotten in everlastingly bad as a
result of the clocks action-or rather
lack of action. They came out and re-
marked how short the days were get
ting, inasmuch as it was quite dark at
little after 6. Any one may imagine
how this excuse was received wnen
they arrived home three hours late for
dinner.
When the hands will begin to move
again is a matter of speculation. The
clocks valet declared the. other day
that it wouldn't move until its little
playmates in Congress came back and
went to work. until then it will kill
time all by itself, said the valet.
