On W0shingt0n,s Birthday
M;nna Irving in Leslie's
Although we are a busy race,
With some new enterprise
Or grand invention to complete
With every hour that flies.
No matter what the task may be
That we must leave undone,
On this, his natal day. we pause
To honor Washington.
No himsy wreath of immortelles
Does Memory weave for him,
No perishable laurels that
The dust of Time may dim,
But to the February wind 4
We fling the starry flag
He planted in the solid rock
OF Freedom's topmost crag.
He puts it's glorious colors there,
His spirit keeps it still.
Untarnished in it's lofty place.
Secure from every i'll.
In war and van or peace with all
Its blessings manifold,
He held his country and his flag
Above both fame and gold.
A thousand heroes rise and soar
Like rockets to the sky
To glitter for a little while,
Then rocket-like to die,
But high above Columbia path
To guide her from afar,
Behold! still Washington remains
A fixed and shining star.

TONS

Washington, June 29-Creation of a
semi-official speakers bureau, through
which 1t is hoped eventually to ad-
dress 100000 American people each
night on issues of the war, was an
nounced here tonight by Donald M.
Ryerson, and William Mccormick
Blair, Of Chicago, through the public
Information committee.
Through four minutes speeches to be
delivered each night in practically
every moving picture theater in the
United States by corps of $1,000 vol
unteer speakers, the organizers Of the
plan hope to make the "four-minute
men" tremendous force in acquaint-
ing people with the facts and necessi-
ties of war.
The four-minute men" were organ
lied originally to aid In the fiotation
If the liberty loan. Their scope now
has been widened and extended with a
view to using them throughout the
war. In each community public spir-
tied citizen is appointed chairman OF
the "four-minute men," He obtains
volunteer speakers who are willing to
devote bit Of their time several
nights each week toward acquainting
the people with the progress Of the
war. The subjects are to be assigned
from Washington. Organizations have
been formed In 81 states and II IL In
tended to extend them to all ls states
