Was Generals Fayoritc.


 Several times during General Jackson's second term the little fam fly Of Andrew Jackson. Jr.. made the long trip back and forth between the White House and the Hermitage. and when the general finally returned to Nashville at the end of the term, the little granddaughter was in the party accompanying him to Nashville. Aft CT that time. until the generals death, June S.. 1S45, when she was in her 18th year. little Rachel became more and more the object of his tender de- yotion. The child became the al- most constant companion of the stern old warrior. Morning and evening when he made his rounds of the Hermitage plantation, the little girl rode before him on his horse Sam Patch." the charger presented JaI,- son by the citizens of Philadelphia in 1883 during tour of the north
 During the long days at the Herm- itage, the little girl played on an old-fasbioned sofa in the generals bedroom where the general would sit before the portrait of his dead wife.

 To only one place the little grand daughter never accompanied him. Every evening at sunset he went alone to his wife's tomb in the Hermitage garden where he stood bareheaded. Little Rachel; always awaited him at the garden gate. Only few days be- fore his death, on her return from school in Nashville, the General called the child to his bedside and placed around her neck a quaint beaded chain to which was attached a minia- ture of the one for whom she was He bade her to wear and | cherish it, command most faithfully carried out.
 After General Jackson's death, young Rachel and her parent con- Linued to make their home at the Hermitage and there she was married on Jan. 23, 1853, to Dr. John Marshall Lawrence, of Tennessee.

Only, twice did she address Ter efforts to public causes other than hose involved in the care and of the Hermitage. At the 't Louis Worlds Fair, Tennessee's building was a reproduction of the Hermitage and of this building Mrs. lawrence acted as hostess.

Lords Way of Fixing Up the Budget

MAYHEM the executice department
heads put in their estimates for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1924,
they called for $2OO,OOO,OOO more than
the available income. General Lord,
director of the budget bureau, took the
preliminary estimates and went over
each one of them painstakingly, strik-
ing out what appeared to him less
pressing expenditures, till he got all
the departmental estimates down to
point where they added up to a total
not exceeding the three billion two
hundred million limit set by Presi-
dent Harding. Then, not telling the
departments just how he reached his
conclusions, he notified each Of them
of the figure which he regarded as
the limit. He told them they must
somehow try to live within that limit,
and he instructed them to revise
their estimates accordingly.
But he did not stop there. First,
he indicated the total only and let
each department make such adjust
ments within that total as it saw fit
in revising its estimates Second. he
permitted each department to put in

skulls, bones, human fat, mummies,
etc, were freely prescribed. At the
dcathbed of Charles II a preparation
from a human skull was administered.
The education of the pharmacist at
this time was largely based on his
trade experience, although some knowl-
edge of Latin was required. The APP
premiership lasted from five to six
years, and at the end of that time he
became '.journeyman." On assuming
control of pharmacy as proprietor,
he was required to pass a supplement
tary examination.
Pharmacy in America during the SCI
enteenth century was largely based OF
English usages modified by practices
derived from the Indians. In Massa-
chusetts, great many clergymen prac-
ticed pharmacy for means of liveli-
hood, while preaching. Indians and
old women also practiced it. The
witchcraft epidemic brought the prac-
titioners OF pharmacy into suspicion
as selling poisons for spells.

Charles III. Muir, who commanded the
Twenty-eighth division, in which Col
onel Thompson commanded a bat
TALON, decorated the Pennsylvania Lee
gion leader at Washington. Previous
to the ceremony Colonel Thompson
was entertained at luncheon by the
Pennsylvania delegation in congress.
The citation for the Congressional
medal came to Colonel Thompson as
result of an act of valor in action near
Apremont. France, October 1, 1918.
Counterattacked by two regiments
of Germans, Colonel Thompson, then
major of the One Hundred and
Tenth infantry, encouraged his bat
TALON in the front line by constantly
Drawing the hazardous fire of machine
guns and artillery. His courage was
mainly responsible for the heavy re-
pulse of the enemy.
Later in action, when the advance
Of his assaulting companies was held
up by fire from a hostile machine-gun
nest and all but one of the assaulting
tanks were disabled, Colonel Thomp-
son, rushed forward on foot three sep
arate times in advance of his line, un-

gun fire, and led the one remaining
tank to within a few yards of the
enemy machine-gun nest. The tank
succeeded in reducing the nest, there
by making it possible for the infantry
to advance.

Child Labor, States and the Constitution

10 OF the present year by Supreme
court decisionz"may be measured by
the fact that only 13 states meet In
all particulars the standards of the
federal law" Since a previous at.
tempt by congress to bring child labor
under federal control had also been
declared unconstitutional, the SUI
preme court seems to have made the
issue clear" the report says; either
we give up the plan of federal min
imum and rely solely upon the states.
or we undertake to secure a federal
amendment definitely giving to con-
gress the power to pass child-labor
law"
Some states have advanced beyond
the general standard, while others
have Jagged behind. A constitutional
amendment which would secure to
the children "all the advantages of
our federal form of government by
giving to congress the right to estab-
lish federal minimum and leaving
to the states the right to raise and
not lower standards" is recommended.

WARNING TO EX-SERVICE MEN
Soldiers Having Business With Vet
Grams Bureau Must Deal With
District Officers.

Ex-service men who have business
with the United States Veterans bu.
reau have been advised to transact
their affairs with the district officers.
Recently former service men have
been going to Washington at the rate
of 100 a week with the expectation
that they could accomplish more there
than they could accomplish through
divisional headquarters.
In some cases the former soldiers
have walked long distances in order
to get to Washington. Recently one
man made the trip from Baltimore to
Washington on crutches.
Washington posts of the American
Legion look out for the veterans who
come with small means, or no means
at all, but these posts are now find
ing their resources insufficient to take
care of all the demands made on
them.
A pathetic feature of the situation
Is that the former soldiers from out
side the Washington district learn that
they will have to transact their bust
ness in the district in which they live.
The American Legion, the Ameri-
can Red Cross and various other or.
CARNATIONS nave been trying to i'm
press on the men who have business
with the bureau that they must deal
with divisional headquarters, but it
seems that thousands of veterans do
not understand the situation. The
bureau has asked the Legion once
more to take up the subject.
