MEMENTOS OF HEROES
TEACHING PATRIOTISM
Relics of Great Americans Inspire in
Smithsonian Institution.

The roles played by patriotic Ameri-
cans in the history OF this country are
perpetuated in the exhibition halls Of
the division of history in the National
Museum, where a large portion of the
arts and industries building is devoted to
the preservation OF historical relics. The
exhibits are intended to illustrate by an
appropriate assemblage OF objects, the
lives OF distinguished personages, impor-
tant events, and the domestic life of the
United States from Colonial times to
the present day.
The collections In these halls are
especially rich in relics and mementos of
American army and navy officers, and
include uniforms. swords. guns flags and
many other objects which recall the
names and services of their illustrious
owners.
Although we may not all be as great
as these distinguished men and become
heroes, nevertheless, at a time like the
present when the country has entered a
world war, we may learn many lessons
in patriotism from these historical
memorials" a statement issued by the
Smithsonian Institution reads.
Probably nothing in all the collections
more quickly touches the hearts of true
Americans than certain objects once the
property Of ''the Father of his Country"
articles, there are also several martial
accessories. Conspicuous among these is
a pair Of gold-wire epaulets worn by
Washington when a Colonel during the
French and Indian war, notably
throughout the Braddock campaign in
1755.
His continental army uniform, worn at
Annapolis. Nd. when he resigned his
commission as commander in chief Of the

the museum. another great attraction is
the equipment used by him in the field,
consisting OF his tents with poles and
pegs, mess chest and various utensils, his
writing case and spy glasses.
There are two life masks of Abraham
Lincoln, casts Of his hands. and a suit of
clothing worn by him while President.
The museum is fortunate in having a
large number OF objects pertaining TO the
life of Gen. U. S. Grant. particularly the
gifts he received during his journey
around the world on the termination OF
his Presidency. Among these personal
relics are several swords, uniform
coat, saddle, canes epaulets. medals and
commissions. OF other Presidents of the

WANTS OLD MEN TO SERVE.
Miss Rankin Opposes Those Eligible
as Husbands into Army.

WASHINGTON, April 2S.-Mani-
Testing an active interest in legisla
ton for the first time since she came
to congress, Miss Jeanette Rankin,
representative from Montana, is urg
ing that the young unmarried men of
the nation be withheld from the army
in order that the mothers of the next
few years will not have to pick their
mates from the old men, the feeble
and the worst of the race.
She has urged committee members
to call to the attention of the country
the fact that by drawing exclusively
upon the young men between 10 and
% years old for the first army the
country will strip itself of the future
fathers of the race, particularly as it
is planned to except married men of
these ages.
Miss Rankin urged that it would be
far better for the state, if exercising
the privilege of selection to draw upon
the married men who are still of mill
tary age and capacity, supporting their
dependents, if necessary, than to take
the unmarried men, before they shall
have had an opportunity to select their
life mates and contribute toward the
propagation of the race.
