An Interpretation Of this brief note
shows that the band Of Colonel Proc
tors Fourth Continental artillery ap-
parentIy took it upon itself to serenade
the commander in chief. This old rec
ord brings to light that Valley Forge,
with all that that name means Of priva-
tions and suffering, was the setting
where was staged what was undoubt-
eddy the first recognition in any public
way of Washington's birthday.
French First TO Celebrate.
There is still another record of those
revolutionary times which touches us
perhaps most poignantly today. To the
French is credit due for the first pub
lie celebration of Washington's birth
day. 1t was in February, 1881. that
Comte de Rochambeau, with true
French spirit, declared holiday for the
French troops who were then located
in Connecticut. Washingtoa's BIRTH
day fell that year on Sunday, so the
Frenche general specified that the fol-
lowing Monday be set aside for the
celebration of the birthday of his COM
mander, whom he so highly esteemed.
1t was another of the many evil
dences of the close ties between France
and America which ext red in Revo-
lutionary times. 1t was ON that men,
orable occasion that was first laid the
foundation of our national holiday.

Oil Lease Scandals Growing
Worsc-McAdoo Puts
Candidacy to Test.
BY EDWARD w. PIckARD

xxTORSE and more of it summar
Wv ICES the developments in the oil
lease scandal last week. The sticky
smear is spreading daily and where ii
will stop no one can foretell. On Mon
day the Democratic senators, aided by
ten Republicans and the two Farmer
Labor members, put through the sen
ate the Robinson resolution asking
President Coolidge to demand the res
ignation of Secretary of the Navy
DENLY. The vote was AZ TO "a, Bruce
being the only Democrat to vote in
the negative. Mr.. Coolidge promptly
issued a formal statement announcing
that the resolution was an invasion of
executive functions and that he would
ignore it. Fully maintaining his dig
nifty and his self respect and respect
of his high office, he said:
81 do not propose to sacrifice any
innocent man for my own welfare, nor
do I propose to retain in office any
unfit man for my own welfare. ] shall
try to maintain the functions of the
government unimpaired, to act upon
the evidence and the law as / find it
and to deal thoroughly and summarily
with every kind of wrongdoing. In
the meantime such steps have been
and are being taken as fully to protect
the public interests"
Tuesday night, in a Lincoln day adj
dress before the National Republican
club in New York, the President again
declared his determination not to be
stampeded by the senate, and prom
ised immediate. adequate and un=
shrinking prosecution to punish all

THE DATE OF
WASHINGTON'S
BIRTH

OLD records-what stories they can
- tell. Sometimes full Of romance
sometimes startling in their disclosures.
1t would seem that Washington's
birthday, observed for so many years
on February %, was celebration
founded securely on accurate historical
facts. Yet buried in the family Bible
of Washingtons mother and written in
her own handwriting is an entry which
makes one pause with surprise. There
she has clearly recorded the astounding
statement that George Washington
was born on February H.
Certainly no one should know more
about this important event than Mrs.
Washington.
There it is in black and white in
her own handwriting:
George Washington, son to Au-
gustine and Mary, his wife, was
bore We 1.-the of February, 1882,
about 10 In the morning, and was
baptised the Sd of April following.
Mr.. Beverley Whiting and Capt.
Christopher Brooks, godfathers,
and Mrs. Mildred Gregory, god
mother.
Family Bibles, especially in those
times. were the last word in accuracy,
so this statement must be accepted as
indisputable.
BY the latter part of the Sixteenth
century the calendar year had become
askew with the astronomical year. It
seemed important that a readjustment
be made and Pope Gregory XIII, after
careful consultation with the learned
men of his time, decreed that in 1882
10 days should be dropped and ar
ranged what has since been called the
Gregorian calendar The mandate of
the pope was followed that year by
Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, but
England would have none of it and
continued on the basis of the old cal
endar for another century and half.
Difference of Eleven Days.
BY 1852 in England the discrepancy
had mounted up to IL days, and the
disadvantages of two systems of dates
was causing great annoyance. 1t was
necessary to date letters going from
England or her colonies to France with
the days of both systems; for instance,
February 1922. So at last to avoid all
this confusion England officially adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar and decreed
that IL days be omitted in the year
1852 between September and Septem-
Der IA.
So for Washington, his birthday in
1853 and all succeeding years fell on
February %.
But there is another record which |
throws light on what was probably the
first public recognition of his birthday.
This time the record is in his own
handwriting. While commander in
chief of the Continental armies, with
all his other responsibilities and duties,
Washington found time to keep exact
records of all his expenses. These ex-
pense accounts were several years ago
made available by their transferal
from the Treasury department to the
library Of congress where they were
placed with the great collection of
Washington's papers there.
In one of Washington's daily ex-
pense account books there is an entry,
under date of February %, ITS. which
reads:
Cash paid the 22nd Inst. to Proc
tors band by the G. O...... lbs.

There were many rumors about
mysterious slush fund of S1,0O0,OOs
which, according to the stories thai
reached the committee, was raised il
| Wall street and sent to Washington
| TO reimburse certain statesmen anC
members of the Harding administra
| ton who had lost money gambling In
oil stocks. A subpoena was issued foi
E. b. Mclean, the publisher, whom
the committee desired to question on
this and other matters.
President Coolidge withdrew the
name of Silas Strawn as special oil
prosecutor, objection to whose appoint
ment was based on the fact that he
is a director in Chicago banks said to
be connected with the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana. Atlee Pomerene
also was objected TO, but the Presi-
dent declined to withdraw his nomi-
nation.
America is not the only country

Manly, director of the Peoples Legis-
lative service of which Senator La
Toilette is chairman. An investigation
had been asked by certain 'progres-
sive" senators and representatives,
and the resulting report says The
American people are paying $1,000,000
a day too much for their bread; that
the average retail price Is 8 cents
pound, whereas at the prevailing price
of wheat it should be 5 cents a pound.
Alleged retailers rings" supported
by the wholesale bakers, either volun-
tarily or under threat of boycott. are
declared to have suspended the law of
supply and demand, resulting in arti-
fetal bread prices in many cities. AS
an example of the effect of this condi-
ton, the investigation is said to have
shown that bread costs 2 cents
pound less in New Orleans and Hous-
ton, Tex, far away from the wheat
and flour milling states, than in Chi
cago. Omaha, Butte and st. Paul, all

ON HIS own motion, William G.
~ McAdoo went before the senate
committee and explained at length his
employment as a lawyer by Edward
Doheny for which he received $780,
0O0 He maintained that his connec-
ton with the oil magnate had been
entirely proper and innocent, but said
he himself had recently terminated it.
He declared ne considered Doheny
guilty of a serious thing" but not so
guilty as he considered Fall. It was
the general opinion that Mr.. McAdoo
had failed by his testimony to re-es-
tablish himself as the leading candi-
date for the Democratic presidential
nomination. Seemingly he realized
this for later in the week he asked
that his state managers and other
leading supporters should meet N Chi
