INITIALS MARK TRYSTS.
Tokens Of Nineteenth Century Ro-

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kans.-The tokens of
many q nineteenth century romance
are craven in stone at the crest of
Burnetts Mound, tallest hill in the
vicinity Of Topeka.
Initials, always in pairs and accom-.
panied by figures representing dates,
are carved by the score in the big
boulders, until room scarcely remains
for more inscriptions.
Dozens of initials and dates indicate
romances which blossomed between
1880 and 1900. but few can be found
bearing dates since 1910. Modern low
ers apparently do not take time to
walk from the base of Burnett's
Mound up it's steep sides to the sum-

their trysts in stone.

FLOWERS FOR DEAD

mortal Day at 1856 Schools
! Over City.

I. Army trucks called at 156 schools in
j Washington today to collect flowers
I brought by thousands of public school
: children as their contribution toward
) the success of Memorial day.
y In response to the request Of vet
j erans organizations, the Board of Ed
: ucation had paved the way by appeal
! ing to every pupil to bring at least
one flower, so that none of the soldiers
graves in Arlington and elsewhere in
: the District would be forgotten next
I Monday. How generously the school
: children responded was evidenced by
: the heaps of flowers of every descrip-
I tion loaded on the trucks at the va
/. rious schools
4 These blossoms will be kept in, cold
: storage at the several cemeteries until
. early Monday when they will be
/ placed, with others contributed by the
1 public, on the Sc, ,094 graves of soldiers
in Arlington and the graves of 3,022
! others in the various cemeteries and
at the United States Soldiers Home.
( Considering the needs for this work,
Arthur League, chairman of the
5 finance committee of the G. A. r. and
! allied veteran organizations, renewed
his plea today for cash contributions.

Six trucks, each commanded by two
! volunteer workers in addition to the
driver, made the collections at the
public schools during the day. Will
liam F. Franklin, adjutant of Vincent
] B. Costello Post, No. Is, American Le-
gion. who was in charge, expressed
his qualification over the generosity
of the school children.
Following a custom of former years
at Fort Myer, Va, Chaplain John Z.
Axton, jr., now on duty there, has
offered his services in connection with
the decoration of graves at Arlington.
If any persons desire to send flowers
or have them delivered by a florist.
Chaplain AXton announced that he
will be responsible for placing them
on the respective graves up to the
evening of Memorial day.
Memorial day means much more to
the thousands Of public school pupils
than the mere granting of holiday
next Monday, when all the Govern
ment departments likewise will be
closed for the day. Among the chill
dren are some whose fathers gave
their lives or were disabled during the
World War. Other thousands can
claim fathers who served their coun.
try in either a military or civil ca
pacity during the war.

To these children the lesson Of Me.
mortal day has a meaning even more
significant, perhaps, than to those who
attended school before 1917, when the
day was related chiefly to the mem
ories of the Civil War.
There were no formal exercises at
the schools today, as in years before
the World War, but each teacher made
1t point to stress the significance of
Memorial day in connection with the
daily lessons.
