TO MEET DEMANDS FOR HELP
War Employment Service, Aided by
System of Bureaus, New Ma
tional Arrangement Planned.

To meet the rapidly increasing war
demand for labor new system of
labor exchanges, to be known as the
war emergency employment service, is
being organized by the industrial serv-
ice section of the council of national
defense.
L. C. Marshall, chief Of the Sec
ton, Announces that all state councils
of defense had been asked to form la
Dor exchanges in cooperation with the
federal department of labor. Many
shipyards were said to be in need Of
workers, and in the near future the
need is likely to be felt equally by mu-
milton, steel, lumber, mining, transport
tation and all the other essential in
dustries.

"Bruges la Morte. q

In a lost corner of the great low.
land fiat of Flanders, defended from
the sea by an artificial dixie, and at the
point of intersection of a network of
canals and waterways, there stands a
little town known to the Belgians as
Brugge and to the rest of the world as
Bruges, writes Niksah.
Fortunately for lovers of the quaint
and picturesque, this city with it's slen-
der bell turrets, its lacelike gables and
decorated house fronts has so far been
spared the general devastation that fol-
lowed in the wake of the invading Ger
mans. They call 1t "Bruges la morte''
and at every turn there is something to
remind the visitor of the decay that
has fallen upon the town. The ever
recurring view of picturesquely
tower, gable and bridge, of
wide tree-filled parks, breathes an at
of infinite stiffness and
charm, which is at the same time
strangely pathetic.

Burnes' father, James, from one Of
the most inveterate anti Catholics of
Maryland. He was Ninian Beall Mar
ella Buriis died member of the Epis-
copal Church. and was buried in the
Burnes' family burial ground, which
was in the square now bounded by
9th and 10th streets, Grant place and
H street. She was laid to rest In the
mausoleum which she and her hus-
band had erected for the remains Of
their daughter Ann Elbertina Mid
dleton. That mausoleum was torn
down in 1872 and now stands in the
southeast part Of Oak Hill cemetery.
Like all the other plantations or
farms in this region. David Burnes'
farm had a name. The nomenclature
of the estates In Maryland and Vir-
ginia is an interesting subject in
itself. The naming of farms was not
wholly matter of romance or senti-
ment. 1t was q practice that had
haps even by necessity. 1t was a
very old practice which had been
adopted for the purpose of Identifying
properties, and was analogous to tho
present system of numbering the
squares of city and then numbering
the lots into which the squares had
beep subdlvided. When man obtain

father was rather dour man, rough
in his speech and negligent of the
little amenities of life. but his
daughter grew into woman OF
grace and charm of character, which
endeared her to all the early fami-
lies Of the District. There was no
family too proud to call her friend,
and there was no family too humble
for Marcia to visit and help. At this
writing the Rambler knows not even
the name of Marcia BurneS' mother,
but he will probably come upon that
record before he let's go of this sub
tect. All the records which he has
thus far seen making mention of
David Burnes contain no reference
to his wife. The record OF his mar
riage Is somewhere in the parish
records of this noig hborlroot.

and generations of good living, good
surroundings and education have eff
faced the marks of their earlier lowli-
ness, and some people have slumped
back, so that a few generations Of
poverty and hard living and lowly
station have blotted out, or nearly so,
the marks of their good ancestry. so,
knowing the physiognomy of the peo-
pie of this part of the world, the Ram
bier believes that 1t is exceedingly
likely that Marcia Burnes developed
into beautiful woman because she
was of good ancestry, was educated in

In her time. had the best social inter-
course of the period and altogether
had all those things which are meant
when we speak of good environ
ment."
But outside of this question of ply
steal beauty, 1t is beyond all doubt
that Marcia was a noble woman. She
was noble not In the grand and heroic
sense; she was sympathetic, affec-
tionate and devoted to ideals that had
nothing in them of personal ambition.
You might call them feminine ideals,
but that would be unjust to a great
many good and unselflsh men. Marcia
Burnes' ideal was the charitable one.
Hers was not that kind of charity
which seeks to get ten dollars worth
of advertising for five-dollar gift.

The laying out of the city and the
