THE FLOWERS OF MEMORY.

Could they but make us hear the voice
They speak in, they would say
Forget wars fury and rejoice
Live with the flowers today!
Spring blossoms in country lane
Or by city door,
Are messengers of JOY, not pain,
To soldiers gone before.
Each Maytime bud, each tender slip,
To them are living flowers
That form Memory -comradeship
Between their lives and ours!
There is no death where there is life,
There is no death. say.
Where Memory, freed of war and strife,
Lives in the blooms of May
The flowers we lay upon the beds
Of martial men asleep,
Are as a glorylight that sheds
A smile where we would weep.
The peace they know is far too sweet
For us to break with tears;
They hear no more the drums wild beat,
Nor face tumultuous years

Alterations.

The Navy Department today an
nounced the completion Of designs
for two airship tenders, fitted with

ships Of the Shenandoah type.
The steamers Patoka and Ramapo
have been selected for alteration, and
they will be equipped with the new
mooring masts; and made ready for
the navy's artic expedition next sum

Like the aircraft carrier, the air
ship tender is another step in max

bases. The two ships. when COM
pleted, will afford a mobile base Tor
the operation of the Shenandoah or
other large airships. and will enable
airships as long distance scouts to
accompany surface craft and oper-
ate from their mother ship.
The Patoka is now in European

DUNBAR SCHOOL
IMPROVEMENT
PLANNED
Auditorium to Be- Equipped for
Plays and Pageants by
Popular Fund.

: AT a meeting Of the colored COM
Hnunity centers last night it was
decided to equip the stage Of the
Dunbar High School auditorium for
the production Of plays and page
ants at cost Of 5000. The col
cred centers will raise this amount
Through recitals and entertainments,
the first Of which is scheduled to
take place February %.
Flood lights, spot lights, new seem
cry and cyclorama curtain are
among the new equipment that
VIII be furnished. Rebuilding and
altering the stage and footlights
are also necessary. A windshield
Win be erected behind the pipes Of
the large organ to prevent a draft
In the event Of fire.
Since the Knickerbocker disaster
the galleries Of the Dunbar audi
SOrium have been closed limiting
Ahe capacity from 1924 to 100 per.
sons. Supporting beams and other
improvements necessary to meet the
requirements Of the fire marshal
VIII be carried out.
The colored people Of Washing
BON are very seriously handicapped
3or a suitable place large enough
for pageants and plays" says Mrs.
O. Pelham, head of the colored
community centers. "It is for this
treason that the colored centers have
united their efforts In equipping the
stage Of our most centrally located
school.
"The lack Of q suitable place
where our young colored artists
can display their talents has a far.
Seaching effect for 1t has discour-
aged many Of our promising young
people in developing their abilities,
possibly causing the race to have
suffered the loss Of another Charles

GUER|N IS
ARRESTED IN
EDINBURGH
Once Notorious International
Bank Thief Taken Trying
to Rob Checkroom.
by International News Service.

EDINBURGH, Scotland, Jan. A.
A man who was seized here while
trying to break into the trunk room
of a hotel was identified today as
Eddie Guerin, according TO police.
Guerin was formerly known as one
of the most dangerous international
crooks in the world.
When arrested Guerin gave the
name Of Gavin" and said he was
sixty-three years old.
The arrest was a drab climax of
a spectacular career. The hotel
porter surprised him at the door
Of the trunk room and a battle fol-
lowed. The porter won and called
the police.
Guerin was said to be the only
man who ever escaped from The
French penal colony on DEVILS
island. He was born in Chicago in
1859 and began his criminal
activities along with his brother,
Patrick, at an early age.
After a number Of successful
hauls in the United States the
police search became so warm that
Eddie Guerin transferred his
activities to Europe. He engineered
the robbery Of the American Elk
press Company office In Paris,
escaping with $4,000. Later he
was captured and sentenced to
Devils island.
This sentence was expected to
end the spectacular criminal career
of Guerin, but he proved more re-
sourceful than the French au-
thorities gave him credit for. Alter
the escape from the penal colony
he went to England.
Guerin with a party Of con-
federatee robbed the bank OF Lyons,
France, in 1891. They obtaincd
$50, 900 francs. but were coon
captured and Guerin got a prison
sentence Of ten years.
Guerin returned to England but
his criminal prestige waned. From
time to time he was arrSstd ON
charges Of theft and fraud, spend
ing most Of his time in Jail.
Guerin's first big Job in the
United States was said to have been
the theft OF about $4,000 from the
Farmers and Mechanics Bank at
Galesburg, Ill. It was his ambi-
ton to be q bank robber on a big
scale, but he was never able to
elude police after a crime.

PARIS, Jan. straight up and
down like 6 o'clock! This is
fashions order for the coming spring
styles,
The mid-season models now ap-
pearing in the Paris shops are as
sure a hint of spring as the robins
first note. And this note spells
straight" the straightest kind OF
straight without any exception.
Gone are the ruffles and Aounces
which have been generally worn
this season. Designers will have no
more of them. The new gown
drops from the shoulder to the hem
without q break.
Then comes the question of the
waist line. Where Is it going to be?
Advance gowns for the most part
show no belts at all and no method
of trimming which withdraws at
tention from the straight line.
Waist lines and hip lines seem to
be out Of the running.
Even LanVin, whose picturesque
robe de style" with wide bouffant
skirt is q chief feature Of her col
lection has not left out the straight
line gown. Doeuillet showed this
type in his winter collection, but
has greatly changed and developed
it for spring modes. His first
thought has been for severely
straight under arm line from shout
der to ankle. His day frocks some
times give very slight hint Of a
low waist line. The belt is re-
placed by a bit Of drapery across
the front and a sash in the back
leaving the sides straight.
Another designer favors the
straight line with scarcely hint Of
q break. One charming model in
navy blue serge has the opening
down one side showing an under
panel of printed foulard with collar
and cuffs Of the same.
All Of which means that fashion
ordains slimness or costumes to
make one appear to have It.
