FOSTERED BY FRENCH KING
Famous Sevres Ware Had Its Begin
ming When 1t FavorabIy Attracted
Attention of Louis.

Early in the eighteenth century the
manufacture of a rather artificial-look-
ing porcelain was begun at ROuen,
France. At Chantilly, about the year
1925, a porcelain was made which imi-
tated the Imari ware of Japan. Some
10 years later another factory was es-
tablished at Vincennes, and now comes
the beginning of the famous Sevres.
1t was in the year 1853, so historians
interested in this subject tell us, that
the king, Louis XIV, who for the past
five years had been making donations
for the carrying on of the work, al
lowed the adjective "royaP' to be add
ed to the name of the work, and grant
ed the use of two interlaced LIS as
q trademark. In order to keep a
record of the porcelain made in diff
ferent years, scheme of lettering
was arranged which, to the initiated,
would tell the tale. For example, an
A in the space between the two LIS
signified that the piece OF porcelain
thus marked was made in that year in
which the king began to take an active
interest in the work, 1853. Three
years later the factory was removed
from Vincennes to Sevres, and it
there that one may visit it today, over
In one corner of the beautiful park
of st. Cloud, not far from the Seine.
And, in 1859, the king took it over
as a state industry, to be managed
hencefOrth as such.
Now, it happened that the making
of porcelain appealed to Madame Gle
Pompadour, and she did everything in
her power to bring the Sevres prod
uct up to the highest possible artistic
standard, to popularize the ware at
court and throughout the country, and
even throughout the whole of Europe.
Among the beautiful colors which were
employed in this ware, one of the love-
Hest was named for her, the "rOse
Pompadour."

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.

This is not only one of the best and
most efficient medicines for coughs,
colds, Group and whooping cough, but
is also pleasant to take, which is i'm

to young children. Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy has been in use for
many years and has met with much
favor wherever its good qualities have
become known. Many mothers have
given it their unqualified endorsement.

Best Service Column in the CITY

Lieut.. Col. Will H. Point, infantry.
national army, has been relieved
from duty as division quartermas-
ter. Thirty-fifth Division. Camp
Doniphan, Oklahoma, according to
recent advices from the War De-
partment.
In response to a letter recently
received from Mrs. A. w. Strong.
chairman woman's committee, Coun-
Gil National Defense, relative to the
significance and use of service fiage
and asking particularly concerning
silver stars on such emblems for
wounded discharged soldiers, Lieut.
Col. Nathan William MacCheaney,
Judge advocate, national army Of the
Central Department Chicago, made
the following reply:
I'VE understand that It has been
customary to represent with a sill
yer star, men who have been
wounded or invalided home, but are
still in the service, but do not know
whether or not such has been the
practice with reference to men who
have been discharged from the serv-
ice. However, it seems to me that
your suggestion Is a good one, and
personally I see no reason why the
silver star should not be used for
all those who have been in active
service and have been discharged
because of disability acquired in
the service Of their country.
You understand that the service
flag is not official. but 1t IL in gem
eral use and the flying Of it is en-
couraged. Unfortunately it has been
patented by private parties. The
matter of having an official service
flag not so controlled is under con-
sideration by Congress"
Mrs. Strong urged that there
should be no distinction between
those who are actually in service,
and those who have served and are
unable to do so any longer. This
sentiment has been widely echoed,
and more than likely in the very
near future soldiers who have gone
the limit in doing their bit, will re-
ceive the same distinction upon
service flags as their brothers in
arms still unscratched in the fight
ing ranks.
Col. Leroy T. Hillman, Ordnance

Board, according to recent official an
nouncement Col. George W. Burr,

lieved Of duty In this capacity.

Department, allowing a spur track to
be put in the square between L. NJ.
North Capitol and First streets north
east, opposite sIbley Hospital.
The House committee report strikes
out everything below the enacting
clause and inserts the provision made
in the Senate that the Medical De-
partment Of the Army shall construct
the spur track and tear 1t out within
thirty days after the conclusion OF the
war.
1t is expected that this bill will en-
counter protest on the floor Of the
House as friends OF the Sibley Hos
pital who appeared before the District
committee Tuesday have declared they
will fight this measure to a finish.
Sinclair Leads Fight.
Al Leftwich Sinclair. president of
the Washington Chamber OF Com
merce and a director of the Sibley
Hospital. led the fight against the
construction of the spur. on the
grounds that 1t would not only in
jure their patients, but also deterior-
ate their costly structure.
He further pointed out that the
Sibley Hospital is the only one here
which has never received financial
relief from the government and that
1t stands ready. II necessary, to
throw open its doors to convalescent
soldiers.
Senator Smith. who recently intro
duced a similar bill in the Senate
urged its speedy passage on the
ground that it would save the gov
ernment $500 a day. Senator Smith
said he understood that there was
no objection on the part Of the Sib-
ley Hospital directors at this time,
but on this point he was doubtless
mistaken, as Mr.. Sinclair declares
the institution will never approve
Of the building of the spur under
any conditions or at any time.
The War Department wants the
spur track as a convenience at the
medical supply warehouse in the
square. which has been leased by
the War Department. This is the
third time that the Sibley directors
have been compelled to fight against
the construction Of the spur.

INCREASE APPLIES
ON old SALARIES
Will Cut Pay Down Before Adding
$l0-a-Month Raise.

Representatives of the Capital po-
lice force last night explained that
the proposed $40 per year increase
in the salaries OF government en-
ployes related back to the old scale
before the percentage raise of last
year became effective, amounting to
little, IL any material benefit, for the
reason that the increase alluded to
expires at the end OF the present
fiscal year, and everything in that
connection goes back to the old SAL
aries.
Some confusion seems to exist In
Congress on this phase Of the situa-
tion, It was stated, and The Herald
has been asked to set the matter
clear and to emphasize the fact that
the $12O a year increase proposed is
based entirely upon the old salary
without the added temporary raise
of last year.
1t was announced also that unless
the Capital police force can obtain
the relief sought from the House.
and secure fat salaries on the basis
OF $40 a year for the guardsmen:
S1.45O a year for the lieutenants and
$500 a year for the captain, they
will take the matter up in the Sem
ate, where they feel confident of
success.
1t is not thought, however. that the
House will refuse to grant the in
crease asked for when its members
come to realize the full extent OF
the equitable features embraced
therein.
