Seventy-six years in the service
with an honor record second to
none, the Third United States
Cavalry the crack mounted regi-
ment of the Army, or that portion
of it stationed at Fort Myer-for
the rest is garrisoning Fort Ethan
Allen, Vt.,-celebrated it's birth
day with a review by General
Pershing last Thursday and re-
ceived as a birthday gift a new
stand of colors deliberately en-
embroided presented by Maj. Gen.
Arson Mills, its commandant, a
generation ago. Troop E was the
recipient of the flags, as the color
troop. The other two troops at
Fort Myer are F and G and the
headquarters and service troops.
The Third Cavalry was founded
in Texas in 1916 and has partici-
pated in virtually every campaign
since that time. When first organ
lied it was known as the mounted
rifles. The Thirds motto is "To
the Front, and that is where it
has generally been found. 1t saw
service in the Mexican War and
was accorded high praise by Gen
eral Scott. After that war the
regiment took march of $500
miles up into Oregon and in the
far west it took part in 46 engage
ments with Indians. In 1868 the
Third went into the Civil War
and was in eight big battles. Back
westward again went the regi-
ment after the war and again took
up the trail of the Redskins, and
by 1882 it had added 81 more
skirmishes with them to its list.
Border duty in Texas came after
that. The Spanish-American war
then claimed its services, and sub
sequently it was sent to the Phil
ippines for duty. Another Mexican
border detail brought the celebrat-
ed command up to the World
War, in which it served in France
and Germany for 10 months. It's
duties now consist in guarding the
Capital and serving as presidential
escort on state occasions. Among
the dignitaries who were present
at the review was Lieut.. Gen. Mel
son A. Miles, who escorted Mrs.
John G. Walker, widow of Maj.
Gen. Walker, who as bride join
ed the regiment with her husband
in 1858.
Mrs. Emily P. S. Moor, of
Rutland, grandaunt of Vice
President Coolidge and one of the
pioneers in the fight for equal suf
frage rights for her sex, was a
notable figure in the ceremonies
of dedication of the new head
quarters of the National Woman's
Party, opposite the Capital a week
ago. Mrs. Moor, who, in spite Of
her 80 years is as active both
mentally and physically as most
women 80 years her junior, carried
the Vermont State banner in the
parade that preceded the more
formal dedicatory exercises. She
was prominently featured in the
Washington newspapers as one of
the leaders in the suffrage move
ment Mrs. Moor has been the
house guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Ellis
Logan a THEIR home on Irving
street. At the 21st annual sugar
party of the Vermont State Asso-
citation, when that noted organiza-
ton celebrated the attainment of
its majority, Mrs. Moor entertain
ed her host and hostess and five
other guests at a table reserved
for them.

Senator Dillingham;, notwith-
standing the recent injury to his
wrist, is at his desk in the Senate
daily, as though nothing had hap
pened. He carries his arm in
sling still, and is likely to have to
favor it for some time. With the
tariff bill, like the poor, ever pres
ent and with numerous other COM
mittee and conference activities
claiming his time and attention the
Vermont Senator is a busy man.
