Old Glory flaps damply today In
the chill breezes of Mount vernon
at half-staff-again.
The morning after President
Harding passed away in san
Francisco, the national ensign that
has swung proudly DER the hills
that once were Washington's was
lowered from its usual place at the
head of its mast in honor or the
deceased Executive. 1t remained
there until the Saturday after his
remains were consigned to their
eternal rest in Marion, ONO.
The following day, however
visitors to the home or george
washington were more or less sur
nrised to notice that, while the
flags on all private and govern
ment buildings in this city re.
mained at half-staff, the flag at
Mount Vernon had again been
hoisted atop its staff. The period
of mourning prescribed ny fresiI

September 2.
When the attention OF James
Young, assistant superintendent at
Mount Vernon, was directed to the
apparent oversight this morning,
he admitted that the ensign still
floated from full-staff, and pointed
out that it has been the custom
there to lower the flag only until
after the funeral of distinguished
persons. That custom had been
followed in the case of President
Mckinley, he said, and nothing
was said about it.

ALvAT|ON ARMY
SEEKS FUNDS TO
CONTINUE GOOD WORK

The beginning of the work OF col
lection for the Salvation Army in An
napolis has shown that it has warm
friends here who appreciate the splen-
lid character OF it's work among the
Door. In addition to the workers who
IRE collecting, the banks have placed
tables where several ladies have kind
ly volunteered to receive such con-
tributions as have not been solicited
elsewhere. Contributions can also be
made TO Bernard j. Wiegard, local
treasurer.
But in order that the good work
shall not lie curtailed in Maryland for
he coming year, that those who are
destitute and in despair need not be
urned away those in charge of the
campaign urge that it will be neces-
iary TO give generously Every dol
ar works. The methods of the Sal
yation Army are direct. If a square

he Salvation Army doesn't have to
wait to call a meeting of Board of
Directors before acting. 1t carries
relief to the point needed, at the
lime it is needed most, and then fol-
lows it up. Its system has three out
standing features: practical and di-
rect methods, strict economy. and
spiritual uplift dominating it all. The
service of the Army is therefore Of
ncalculable value. 1t is incalculabIe

FORD's ALTRUIsM

A curious public viii supply as
best it can through conjecture All
answer to the question, "Why
did Henry Ford discharge some
$4,000,000 Indebtedness OF the
Lincoln Motor Company which
he was neither legally nor NOR
ally bound to pay?" From what
is described as an authoritative
source it is learned Mr.. Ford was
prompted by "a desire to play
square with those who have
helped to make the automobile
industry what it is The De
troit manufacturer had purchased
at receivers sale conducted by
order of court everything sale
able of the defunct Lincoln Com
pany. He paid $s,00O,O00, which
was inadequate by abour four
millions to pay all the claims
proved against the Lincoln.
| AS a case of sentimental altru-
ism we may conclude that it will
not become contagious. There
are substantial reasons why Mr..
Ford's example will not be cop
led by many others. Yet it is not
unlikely that his highly honor
able action will exert an influence
i'll future sales of failed bust
nesses. The financial strength of
Mr.. Ford enables him to do
things impossible for most bust
ness men. Yet the practical bent
of his mind is not the least CON
spicuous OF his attributes. 1t is
not discreditable to him that he
invests where he thinks he will
get a return for his money. If
he can see this extra 100000
paid to Lincoln creditors coming
back in due course. the fact
doesn't detract from the nobility
of his deed.
If Mr.. Ford can see a profit in
the Lincoln augmented as II has
been by his voluntary discharge
of the company's remaining debts
after legal settlement has been
made. there must be value in the
Lincoln property, far beyond
what was commonly recognized
in the automobile industry. As
gift IT is noteworthy even in this
period of huge benches; as pay
ment founded on a conception
that the money was Justly due it
is unparalleled. At any rate, it
helps to explain why the Henry
Ford accumulations never excite
the envy of the imam in the
street"

A number of residents of Round
Bay on the Severn have petitioned the
Commissioners for a concrete Shout
der to be placed at the entrance TO

made that the roadway leading

stated in he petition that through
lack of attention, the highway is
rapidly going TO pieces and will be
impossible by spring. The matter
