Flown on Outing.

The merchants and manufacturers
conception of a flag for the District
Is given by Charles j. Columbus, sec
retary of the organization.
This flag was flown at the mast
head of the steamer of the Booster
trip recently, and was designed in
the hope that it may become the
official flag of the District of Column
bia. The seal of the District is blue,
placed in the center of a buff back
ground, with an outside border of
French blue being broken by a line
of white.
Blue and buff, being the colonia |
colorS, are reminiscent of revolution
airy days during which time lived the
forefathers of our city. The white,
serving as a break between the two
colors, denotes purity and innocense,
this being more significant since our
fair city is voteless.
Marine Band to Play.
Forty girls of the District will then
follow, carrying what is perhaps the
largest flag of the United States of
America, and behind them will come
citizens and marchers dressed in
white and wearing red sashes, led
by Mrs. Florence Fenton Barnard.
The United States Marine Band,
conducted by Second Leader Taylor
Branson, will accompany the flag
marchers with the National En-
blem March, concluding with The
Star Spangled Banner" as the troops
salute the flag.

wood from the private interest side and his lessened influence while still In the Senate will tend to weaken proponents Of such legislation.
 The death of Senator LaFollette will throw the leadership of the Sen ate "progressives" to Senator Norris Of Nebraska and this gentleman has been priming himself to make an other stirring battle to have Muscle Shoals operated by the government. Mir, Norris has been to Canada, where he made an exhaustive study of hydro electric development at Nj agara Falls by the Ontario govern ment, and Is reported 10 be pre- pared to impart his deductions to the Senate as soon as the next Muscle Shoals offensive starts.
 It may be possible to dispose of the Muscle Shoals matter best after debate lasting through term of ears; but we all remember what Henry Ford said when he withdrew his bid for Muscle Shoals about a year ago. Too much parliamentary debate didn't suit the Michigan mo- tor magnate; and the same is the opinion of a good many other citi- zens.

M'ADOO IN SENATE A POSSIBILITY

William G. McAdoo, who has been trying to follow In the footsteps of W. J. Bryan as the "perennial can ddate," has a new scheme in his m!nd. He is willing to become a candidate for the United states Sen ate from California in opposition to Senator shortridge. Republican, whose term expires in 1927.
 A seat in the Senate probably would be a good place for the ob- streperous candidate. and if he were elected and given to under stand he was to remain in the Sen- ate long enough to get accustomed to 1t, all would be well and good. But Mir McAdoo, still innamed by ambi- tions to run for the presidency. thinks an election to the Senate would be a good way to get step further in the direction of the White House-or as near to that residence on Pennsylvania avenue as the undiscosed fate dcstines he will get.
 Senator Hiram Johnson and his friends, running true to form, are hostile to Senator Shortridge. Hi ram, who himself once suffered from the presidential bug, has been disappointed man ever since the political card game went against him and is inclined to buck the traces consistently, giving the Re publican organization in California much to think about between cleo tions. If Mir. McAdoo ran for the Senate, Hiram and his friends would naturally "knife' Shortrldgt and help McAdoo, not neccssarll! because they like McAdoo, but as an evidence that they are not tied tc any regular organization and are free and independent Americans.
 If it's publicity that Mir, McAdoc likes, as senator he could obtain Il to his hearts content and have run-in with Mir, Dawes every othel day. It would be quite a diNertlnl spectacle. The gentleman should run and get elected,

AJTOISTS WHO AVOID GROUNDING

On account of traffic conditions on the state highways upon holidays it Is not surprising how many auto- mobile owners keep their machines in their garages upon such days. The Berlin turnpike was not as crowded upon the Fourth of July as upon many Sundays, due to this req son, another cause being that large number of people remained at the shore over the weekend and did not spend so much time aim lessly cruising over the highways
 There are some autosts who do not even show a great inclination to use their cars extensively on Sun days. especially if they get plenty Of opportunities during the week, Others greatly dislike 10 drive at night and take pains to have their days driving over before nightfall, daylight saving time giving them additional opportunity in this di- rcction.
 It is regrcttable that conditions on the limited number of main high Na>s are such as 10 make such in- dividual policies necessary. Il would be more satisfactory 10 auto- mobile owners if there were sui fcicnt number Of improved roads to take proper care of the jam Of autoists upon holidays or sundays Conditions are constantly getting Horsc.

CITY OF GLASGOW
 HAS FIERCE FIRE Famous Kelvin Hall One Build.
 ing Razed

Glasgow. Scotland July s (F-- Glasgow vas badly fire-scarred to. day after fierce blaze. one of ths worst in the history of Scotland, which last night destroyed Kelvin Hall, famous exhibition building, and the Kelyingrove Free church, damaged one hundred houses and threatened the lives of hundreds of persons.
 The fire started in kel, in Hall. which was erected at cost of f5o000 for the industrial exhibition of 1918. and quickly swept through the flimsy structure. the woodwork ; of which had been rendered parti- cularly inflammabIe by the recent i dry spell.
 The Kelvingroye church, a quar- ; ter of mile from the hall. vas ig- inited by sparks. It was a reproduce ton in miniature of the famous Rheims cathedral, with two huge towers fronting on the street. These crashed 10 the ground and the whole l oof Caved in.
 From Kelvin hall a strong wind blew the flames across Blantyre street to a row of tenement houses which were badly damaged The tenants fled in terror, carrying a few hastily snatchcd belongings. Other houses were ignited by sparks and at one time six separate fires were blazing. it was feared that the famous art galleries at the south- west corner of kolVingrove park. were doomed, but a shift in the wind saved the building, which is one of the handsomest in Scotland and fll- ed with art treasures.
 Only two casualties were report ed, one the injury of fireman and the other of a young seaman. Alfred
 Ford, from the steamer Matakana, just arrived from New York. Fords hand was cut by glass while he was engaged In rescue work,

PUBLICITY THAT IS ONLY A MIRAGE

Tho monkey trial In Dayton, Tenn due to start within a few days, naturally has put the town very much 'on the map" and the natives appear to be greatly pleased thereat. Chattanooga looks on with envy, and perhaps Nashville and Memphis are likewise suffering from a species of jealousy. Yet in the long run, what permanent good will accrue to the town of Dayton? Does anyone remember the name Of the town in northern Michigan where the Roosevelt libel suit took place?
 Hotel and boardinsaoUse-keepers in the town Of Dav'on, of course, will gain a nsa. ny during the tria% Prosperity II reign for a short tims. And tier the hullabn- loo is over the artificial boom" ended, there will be dismal re- action to normalcy. It will be hard for the industrious burghers to slide back to tho prosaic desuetude that existed before the monkey business started. Tn few years the man living in Seattle. steubenville or New Britain will remember that a famous monkey trial" once took place somewhere. but won't be in- terested in remembering the name of the town which was host to the cmbattled legal talent.
 Obviously the town of Dayton likes the publicity 1t has been get ting. But such things have come to innumerable other towns before and made no marked difference ir growth or happiness. Who remem' bers the town where the infamous Guinness murders took place and the following trial? Who remember offhand where half a dozen othel famous trials took place within thu past generation? It is quite al hard to remember the names of the dramatis personae as to remember the small towns which basked in tho momentary flash of the publicity calcium.
 The publicity managers of Daytor can try as they will to put the name of the town before the public. bu what the public is interested in vii be the monkey trial, and not th' town where it is held, In a fev
 years goodiy percentage of tn
 population, or that percentag
 which may remember the name 0
 the town, likely as not will mistak

PROSPECTS FOR TAy TUTC

The stelement or Presldent Ccol- l idsc yesterday regarding the possi- bilitles Of reducing Income taxes in view Of the surplus of 326o,ooo, GOO ! ts the public treasury undoubtedly was q sweet morsel for the public. Human nature Is such that 1t re- acts very quickly to suggestions re- ratding tax reduction and the hope that springs eternal includes the fsrvid expectation that somehow some time there may be fewer taIes. The statesman who can give promise of lower taxes and is able to make good the promise has never been known to court unpopularity by 50 doing
 There has been considerable dis eussion regarding the possibilities of reducing federal taxation at least slightly; some of the discus- Eon, of course. might have been of . political nature. The net effect of the talk. however, has been that the public expects some action in that direction when Congress again meets, and the powers that be will have 10 watch their step to avoid disappointment after arousing na- tion-wide expectations. A tax cut be it ever 50 slight, is something; as things now stand, there will have to be a cut or 1t will mean a loss Of future confidence in inspired statements.
 Secretary Mellon apparently does not believe the government surplus 'ou'd inspire tax reduction; he is ii favor of tax reduction, of course 90 is everybody else, at least in puh.ic-but he doesn't think 1t necessary to substract s250,00o,oOo from the appropriations needed in he next fiscal year The secretary's s plan is to use practically all the sur plus to reduce public debt charges, thus making payments on the gov ernment's obligations beyond what had been scheduled. It remains 10 be seen how this plan strikes the statesmen in Congress, particularly those who must stand for re-elec- ton at the next showdown. These gentlemen naturally would like to have the public realize there not only was a surplus, but that 1t was utilized in the tax cut. To reduce the public debt with the surplus isn't as dramatic as the other meth cd, and the public can't get the feel" of 1t SO well, so to speak; but nevertheless there are many kcer observers who agree it is soundel economies,
 In the midst Of this tax cut ant surplus discussion comes the in formation from abroad that four na tions-Francc, Belgium, Italy anC Czccho-siovahla-intend 10 negotl ate the funding Of their debts 10 th' United States at an early date.
