LEGION PROTESTS
DEF AGED MARKERS
Marred Memorial Tablets
Along Sixteenth Street
Will Be Adjusted.

A campaign to perfect the condi-
either side of Sixteenth street be-
tween Narnum street and Walter
Reed Hospital, many of which have
become chipped. half buried, bent to
various angles and in some instances
entirely uprooted, was announced
last night by William Franklin, ad
tutant of Vincent Costello Post of the
American Legion.
Within the next two weeks the Dis
trict Legion members plan to replace
at least Is of the markers which have
been rendered unsightly due to recent
eXcavating and careless tracking of
buses, trucks and wagons.
Residents Also Protest.
The DETACHMENT of the memorial
markers is said to he felt keenly by
residents in the Sixteenth street dis
trict. Robert l.. Haycock, assistant
superintendent of schools, who lives
In the neighborhoOd. suggested yes
terday that Boy Scouts plant crocus
bulbs around the markers to protect
them.
Midway of the Reservoir on the west
side of Sixteenth street one of the
markers after being displaced has
been put back reversed.
Plan for Memorial Day.
American Legion members wish to
have their markers above criticism
before Memorial Day, less than two
months distant. when a flag is placed
beside each stone and appropriate
exercises observed.
The SIS markers bear bronze IN
scfiptions. each with the name of
one of the 55S service men and women
who were killed or died of disease DUR
ing the World War.
Adiutant Franklin stated last night
that much of the damage done the
stones is almost inevitable. due to
the unimproved character of some OF
the sixteenth street border. but he
hoped that within the next few years,
after coping is laid, the markers can
he reset TO equal levels and perma-
neutlv present the "silent sentinel
picture they were originally intended
to convey.

USEFULNESS
OF VINEGAR

VoU can put vinegar to all
\ sorts of good uses. For in
gtance, it is always advisable to
put a teaspoonful in the water in
which you are boiling meat. IN
the ordinary way the meat may
be rather tough. The vinegar.
however, will make it tender in
any case.
A few drops of vinegar in the
water in which eggs are being
poached will make them set more
quickly.
Old potatoes soon go black in
cooking But a teaspoonful OF
vinegar in the water will prevent
this.

towards making al cure.
In the same way, vinegar and
honey mixed in equal parts will
give great relief where a member
of the family has a cough.

Speaks the Truth
Discounting all Of his amazing
potentialities for criminality, Jos.

this, at least, Brierhalter was
speaking the truth. He would
keep his word regarding Kelvin.
A conviction swept over Joslyn
that she was bidding farewell to

If he will be born during the

as even a slight weight constantly
applied while the bones are soft
will draw them out of their
normal position.
Baby's garments should allow
him plenty of freedom to kick and
stretch, as this is his only way
of exercising. No more clothing
should be used than is absolutely
necessary to keep the body warm.
No baby ever had too many
diapers. If only small supply
is provided. constant washing is
necessary, with the consequent
risk that the diaper used will
not thoroughly dry. Probably
more colds in babies are due to
damp diapers than to any other
cause. No diaper, no matter how
clean 1t may seem, should ever
be used a second time without
washing,
