Des Moines, Aug. 2.-Government
and state laws do not prevent a man
from holding a state or civil office and
an army job at the same time-that is
If a man does not make army work
his business and is in the army for an
emergency.
This question has arisen in Des
Moines in connection with Capt. John
MacVicar, who is now captain in the
quartermaster's department, officers
reserve corps, OF the regular army, and
is also mayor Of Des Moines. Rulings
have been obtained from the judge ad-
vocate general of the army and from
the attorney general Of the state and
both say that the laws do not prevent
this.
Capt. Mayor Macvicar recently re-
turned to his old job as mayor of Des
Moines after several weeks sojourn
at Fort Douglas. He has assumed his
former duties as mayor and at the
same time is acting in the quarter
master department out at Camp
Dodge.
The last legislature, it will be re-
membered. repealed the Iowa provisi On
which made vacant a civil office If the
encumbent accepted a commission 70
any military service.
AS to the law as 1t now stands the
attorney general says, among other
things, I'VE must reach the conclusion
that the law does not expressly pro-
hibit the encumbent Of civil office
from accepting position In the army
and unless the offices are incompat-
IDLE they can legally be held by one
person at the same time
Army Rules Do Not Apply.
The regular army rules say on this
subject: mo officer Of the army on
the active list shall hold any civil
office, whether by election or appoint
ment, and every such officer Who ac-
cepts or exercises the function Of a
civil office shall thereby cease to be
an officer of the army and his commits
sion shall be. thereby vacated.
The Judge advocate general was
asked If this applied to Macvisar's case
and he said it did not as 1t applies
only to those who are permanently
engaged in military service. ~
In previous case 1t was held, the
judge auV0cateS SeneIdA- Sdys' as ioi
< lows:
1.-The provisions Of this section are
appropriate only to the permanent es-
Enlistment or to those who are per-
manently engaged in military service
and could have no reference, for in
stance, to an officer OF the volunteer
army, who, unlike those OF the regular
army, mas not selected military service
for a profession, whose term Of mill
tary service is uncertain and contin-
gent, who has been taken from his
civil duties only for the emergency and
expects to return to civil life
Clearly officers Of the reserve corps
are in the same category as officers
of volunteers and all other officers
whose employment in military service
Is merely temporary"

Provost Guard Demands License For
Iowan Mn Name Of the Army"
Sioux City, Aug. AFTER a provost
guard had demanded the license "in the
name Of the army" Bernard A. Brown
Of Sioux City and Miss lola Hansen, Is
years old, of Milford, were married a,
Allentown, Pa, last week.
Brown is member Of the Iowa State
College unit Of the United States am
bulance corps in training at Allen
town.
Miss Hansen was an athletic director
at Milford. She and Brown were en-
gagged some time. Heris the son OF
Prof and Mrs. A. Brown Of Morning
side College
Miss Hansen, shortly after Brown
went to Allentown for training, de-
manded that the ceremony be perform
ed at once.
Accompanied by Sheriff Bradfield OF
her home city, Miss Hansen went to
Allentown last week ready to serve
breach Of promise papers on young
Brown.
The camp cOmmandant took the stand
that the army is not used as refuge

member Of the provost guard to ac-
company Brown, the sheriff and Miss
Hansen to the marriage clerks office
The clerk declined to issue the license
because Miss Hansen was but 10 years
old and not accompanied by guardian
as required by the laws Of Pennsyl-
yania. It was then that the guard de-
manded license in the name OF the
United States army"
The matter was amicably adjusted
when a district judge appointed an AL
lentown alderman as temporary guard
ian for Miss Hansen. The alderman
promptly consented to the marriage and
married the couple.
Mrs. Brown will make her home in
Milford while her husband is with the
national army somewhere in France

Turkish Towels.

Turkey exports more towels than
any other country, which Is largely be-
cause the average Turk has no use for
n towel himself. When the first Turk
made towel he couldn't imagine what
to do with 1t, so he sold it to tourist
and in this way the Turkish towel in
dustry arose A Turk has no patience
with a towel AS soon as he makes
one he wants to have 1t out Of his
sight. He doesn't mind Turkish rugs,
and he will even smoke a Turkish
cigarette, but Turkish towel gets him
going. The leading feature Of Turk
ish towel is that you can dry yourself
on both sides, which makes it Of spe-
cial value. Operating Turkish towel
is quite knack and most people de-
velOp their own style Of play. A man
can get more vigorous exercise after
a morning bath in drying his back with
a Turkish towel than in hustling
trunks. The only objection to Turkish
towels as an exercise Is that it doesn't
get you out in the open air-Illinois

Evolution of the Collar.

1t is interesting to trace the evolu-
ton of the modern collar from those
ancient ruffs that filled all the space
between chin and chest with a mass
Of white ruffles. In the seventeenth
century the rufus gave place to the
wide collar of lace or plain linen that
rolled out over the coat. Under King
James II, in the seventeenth century,
the coat, which had been for hun
dred years evolving from the loose
tunic, became well established, but 1t
was much longer than that worn to-
day and was buttOned down the front
to the knees. and along with this coat
came into fashion the large cravat with
laced ends. The frilled shirt front
and the white cravat tied in great
bow at the chin, followed. Fhis gave
way. early in the last century, to the
shirt with rolling collar attached.

Suggests Building Program.

A building program for the Untver.
sity of Tennessee, with portion OF
the $1,000,000 bond issue fund, was
suggested by President Brown Ayres
at the annual meeting of the board of
trustees in Knoxville. He suggested
the erection of the following buildings:
Large central administration and
academic building, agricultural college
building, auditorium or chapel building
physics laboratory building, college of
law building, woman's building, edu-
cational department building
However, no action on plans for ex-
penditure of the bond issue money
can be taken until after the bonds are
sold. The sum of 100000 goes toward
of the present indebtedness
and a similar amount for an expert
ment station in Middle Tennessee.

STANDARD OF MINUTEMEN
Farmers Who Fought at Lexington
Had No National Emblem, but
Had Banner of Their Own.

Under what flag did the "embattled
| farmers" fight? There was no ma
tional flag then, no state or provincial
flag even. But, says Peleg d. Harri-
son, according to the Boston Globe,
there was flag, nevertheless.
The farmers of Lexington carried
the cornet or standard of the Three
County troop. That banner was de-
signed for local company Of cavalry
raised in the counties Of Essex, Suffolk
and Middlesex, Massachusetts, in 1862
The Office Of color bearer of this troop
was kind of Inheritance in the Page
family. The standard was carried in
King Philips war in 1915. When the
minutemen were organized Nathaniel
Page III of Bedford carried the old
flag to the drills. At the midnight
alarm Captain Page snatched up the
standard and carried 1t with him to
Concord, where it waved above the
smoke Of that battle"
The flag is now preserved under
glass in fireproof safe Of the public
library at Bedford, Mass, and can be
seen by arrangement with the libra
rian.
The ground is crimson colored dam
ask emblazoned with an outstretched
arm, In the hand of which Is an up
lifted sword. This representation is
the color Of silver, as are three circu-
lar figures that are probably intended
to represent cannon balls. Upon gold
colored scroll are the words, "Vince
aut Moriture" Conquer or Die). The
flag is about two feet long by one foot
six inches wide.
