TODAY'S ANNIVERSARIES

The first Whitea House wedding in which the daughter of a president figured as a heroine was performed ninety-eight years ago today, when Maria Hester Monroe, the youngest daughter of President James Monroe, became the bride of Samuel Lawrence Gouverneur. The bride was only sev- enteen, and was very pretty and charming as she stood on an American eagle which had been woven into a rug for the occasion, before Rev. MT. Han1ey, who was clad in knee brooches, as was the bridegroom. Only the members of the families and a few intimate friends witnessed the ceremony, not even the members of the cabinet being invited. It was planned to follow the honeymoon of the happy pair with a succession of balls and other festivities in honor of the young bride, but Commodore Decatur was killed in a duel soon after. the wedding, and Washington was plunged into mourning. Simple as the wedding was, it is related that President Monroe spent several hun dred dollars for the candles used to | Illuminate the White House on that | occasion.

WAS TIMBY THE
 REAL INVENTOR OF THE MONITOR?

While Civil War veterans and many others are today celebrating the 18th anniversary of the victory of the Mon- itor over the Merrimac and honoring the memory of John Ericsson, the re- puted inventor of the cheese box on a raft" the friends of Theodore Rug gles Timby are declaring that it is he who really deserves the credit for the Monitor. History and much doc umentary evidence support their claim. Several years ago a number of letters, telegrams, contracts, cash books and day books were discovered bearing on all the phases of the planning and construction of the Monitor. Among these are letters which passed between John A. Gris- wold and John F. Winslow, who SUD- piled the iron plate for the Monitor; Cornelius S. Bushnell. the ship builder; Thomas F. Rolin, manager of the Atlantic Works at Greenpoint, Brooklyn, where the Yankee cheese box was constructed; Gideon welles, secretary of the navy; John Ericsson, and W. l.. Barnes, attorney TOT ,NJT1SWOlu- All OI Lu0Ses SACVpI Ericsson, admitted that Timby was the inventor of the revolving turret, and that his patent, filed in 1S4S, was valid.
 On Oct. 7. 1862, Griswold and Timby entered into a contract where by Timby was to receive $5,O00 for every turret constructed. Letters dis covered a few years ago intimate that Ericsson used political influence at Washington to prevent Timby from collecting this royalty. Patent office records show that Timby filed a cav eat for metallic revolving fort' on | Jan IS, 1S43, and plans for a vessel similar to the Monitor. Timby was l born in 1922 at Dover, Dutchess county, N. Y. He was a mere lad when he began working on the re- volving turret idea. He has nu- merous other inventions to his credit

POLICEWOMEN
 APPOINTED TO SPY OVER CAMPS

Washington, March g - The War Department has established woman police force. With more than a mil lion and half men already in khaki, and millions more awaiting the call to the colors. the department has turned to the so-called weaker sex for assist ance in disposing of vital wartime problem.
 Thousands of young women have gone to the vicinity of the military camps. To see that these girls are protected from dangers, the depart ment's Commission on Training Camp Activities has appointed 55 women deputy sheriffs to do scouting and pa trol work. In all parts of the country the women are on duty under the su- pervision of especially established Girls Protective Bureaus.
 Girls actually resident in the vii cinity of the camps are protected. Runaways are restored to their par ents, and amusement places are scru- tinized carefully. The work offers an opportunity for the officer to exercise discretion, sympathy, and knowl- CN6O- OA 4lulIdl 1lc1I0l 1AAeAI Pe"A S'SN larly are her own.
 These women are trained socio- logical workers and so peculiarly equipped for efficient service. Their duties are intensely personal in char acter and are concerned chiefly with individuals. Although cooperating closely with the military authorities and local police. they wear no uni form, badge or distinguishing mark of any kind.
 "Often," says Miss Maude Miner, chairman of the Committee on Pro- tective Work for Girls, 'the women protective officers find girls in the vi- cinity of the camps who are attracted by the presence of the uniform. Some | of these are girls who have answered advertisements and who arrive in camp cities with insufficient funds; | others are runaways from their homes in nearby cities and country towns. A girl reeident of the town, who is dis posed to resist discipline, is taken to her home by the woman officer and | her mother warned of her danger. The officers also visit nearby amusement places to discover young girls who seem to need protection and to see 1 that local ordinances are obeyed

JOIN HOME GUARDS
A n D BRACE Up
THAT BENT FRAME
Official of the Local Guard Organiza-
ton Points Out Why Every Male
Between the Ages of Is and 40
Years Should Get Training Now in
the Home Guards.

Every boy over 16 and every man
under 40 should get into the Home
Guards. If the war continues another
year, every one of you who are ply
sically fit may be drawn into the
service. Those of you who are not
physically fit should begin at once bet
ting into shape for army service.
Those of you who neglect to fit your
selves physically, who waste this op-
portunity and dissipate your energies
in useless amusements, will be as de-
serving of the title of Stacker" as
is the man who today evades the
draft.
The Home Guard organization Of
fers you physical training and Mill
tary training free. You can prepare
yourself for the real war service that
is so liable to come to you within the
next year, and be at an immeasur-
able advantage over those who know
nothing of military training. You can
save the government (and the govern
ment in this case is those who have
eventually to pay the bills), the eX-
pense of training you. If you are
hiding behind physical defects to keep
you out of the war, you may be mis-
taken as to what account these will
be to you. You should consider also
that the man who has no other eX-
cuse than that he is physically unfit
will bear brand of shame as plain
as did the Copperheads of the Civil
war. 1t is very probable that the
man in poor health, due to personal
neglect or dissipation, will be looked
upon with scorn and contempt in the
new day that is coming after this
war.
The Home Guard offers you an op-
portunity to make over bent frame
to line up an added brain and to pre-
pare yourself for whatever the times
bring forth. Universal military train
ing is coming, and none of US know
how soon we may need the soldier 5
skill iii handling a gun. Every moth
er's son who cain walk is better off
to have just the preliminary training
that the Home Guard can give him
Be down there Tuesday night and
Friday night and you will realize how
much you are lacking in actual Amer
lean citizenship. And you will be
glad, too, that you came.
