A WASHINGTON DAYBOOK
BY HERBERT PLUMMEa.

gress that THE Star Spangled Banner"
should be declared the national anthem
of this country.
He has had a bill to this effect before
the House almost continuously since
1918. Little success, however, has been
his. Invariably the bill has died In
committee or else has been crowded
out In the rush of legislation.
But Mr.. Linthicum refuses to be
discouraged. Each session he drops his
pet measure in the House hopper. He
is confident that he will yet get q
break So
The Maryland Chapter of the Ma
tional Society of United Daugh-
tiers Of 1912 first interested him in the
proposal At the request Of that or
ganization he introduced the measure
for the first time in March. 1918. War
conditions and the accompanying rush
of legislation, however, prevented his
bill getting very far.
He reintroduced the bill in April,
1921, but it met the same fate.
In January, 1923, for the third time
he tried to get Congress to declare
ofiicially that 1.-THE Star Spangled
Banner" be Americas national anthem.
Interest had increased. The House
judiciary committee called representa-
t1veS OF various patrtotlc ORGANIZATIONS
to Washington and obtained their
views. Representatives McFadden and
Swope of Pennsylvania and Repre-
sentatives Fairchild and Celler of New
York in the meantime had introduced
similar bills.
But in the closing hours of the
Sixty-eighth Congress the bill was
caught in the jam and died.
Not to be daunted, Linthicum came
back to the next Congress and for the
fourth time introduced his bill. This
time it didn't even get out OF the COM
mittee.
Linthicum by this time had come to
regard his bill as something akin to an
affair of honor.
Therefore, when President Hoover
convened the special session in April,
despite the fact that it was to be lin
tied to consideration only Of tarih and
farm relief, at the first opportunity he
dropped his bill In for the NTH time.
And If 1t dies again, then as soon as
the regular session opens in December
he will try again.
Linthtcum's contention Is that THE
Star Spangled Banner" now Is consid-
cred by all as the national anthem.
Since 1889, under orders from the Navy
Department, the song is played at both
morning and evening colors. 1t also Is
played at retreat in the Army.
The anthem for the service, he says,
certainly should be the anthem Of the
people.

"Of course you can do it, Claire, If
you want to. But should not think
you would like that hot muh at the
back OF your neck on these hot Summer
days"
Privately, Mrs Lacey objected on an
other ground, that all the rest of the
and every child looked just like her
neighbor But she remembered that
young folks In their teens count it a
tragedy to look different. They feel out
of things and queer unless they are all
patterned alike.
She told Claire that she could do it
if she would be sure to keep her hair
clean and brushed and shining. She

had seen so many dirty, greasy-looking,
matted wads of hair.
She suggested that Claire might like
hat which had the n-in-the-back
effect. And she also called attention to
the more individual looking berets.
But mun OF hair 1t had to be, hat or
no hat.
Mrs. Lacey hoped the time would
come when Claire would have inde-
pendence enough to dress in a becom-
ing and an individual fashion, but she
might just as well have sighed for the
moon. That independence does not
come in the teens, nor even in the
twenties.

Mrs. Lacey no sooner had one prob

a whole crop of new ones. Her Oldest
child, Claire, had worn bobbed hair all
her life. Now that she was getting into
her teens, she wanted to let 1t grow.
She never had known what long hair
was and it looked like thrilling adven-

DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW.

NEW YORK, March @.-Dun's
Review says: AS was expected, two
months of the New Year have added
substantially to the constructive ele-
ments In the general business situation.
The net result has been plainly favor
able, and the continued unevenneSs OF
conditions, with some disappointing
aspects, Is a wholly natural phase.
Simultaneous progress in all lines, and
in the same degree, would be an eco.
nomic phenomenon, and its absence
now does not obscure the fact that the
main trend is Upward. That movement
has attained particular vigor In steel
and copper, where accumulated buoy
ancy prevails. and a strengthening of
the markets for these commodities has
been a logical concomitant Of the ex-
panding demands. Competition for
orders keeps prices in various channels
on a comparatively low basis, yet ad-
vances almost balance declines In Dun's
comprehensive list, and 1t has been the
exception, as In hides and leather,
where pressure to sell has been sum-
GENTLY pronounced to cause conspicuous
weakness. Even In those instances, an
abatement of depression has developed
recently. It Is feature of most textile
divisions, moreover, that a large pro-
duction Is passing steadily into con-
and In certain cases difficulty
Is being experienced in obtaining sup
plies as quickly as they are needed.

Special Olbp0tcn 10 Inc star.
NEW YORK, March Bread still Is
the staff of life, but fewer Americans
are leaning on 1t than in the past.
Grocers in various sections Of the
country are reporting a falling of In
bread consumption and in purchases of
wheat flour, as compared with this time
last year. They profess to be unable
to account for this trend. but some food
experts feel that the dress styles OF the
moment have more than q little to do
with the loss.
Earnings Of three of the four leading
baking companies which have bread as
their main product were less in 1928
than IN 1927 and the decline has shown
no signs OF mending this year. These
1922.
The potency of the appeal for slim
figures to women has recently been
shown In the advertising policy of a
leader in the tobacco industry. One
bread producer who Is also interested
In textiles outlined the situation as it
appeared to him today on his return
from a swing around the country. He
also Is a rabid base ball fan whose
opinion on training camp developments

Effect Of Fashions.
How do the pitchers look?" he w.
asked by base ball friends.
TOO early" he replied. mo curves,
only change Of pace. And come to
think of it. that about expresses the
situation in bread and textiles, too.
Women won't have curves and business
In consequence IS showing changes of
pace"
The price OF -four and the cost of
producing loaf of bread are not the
absolute factors they once were. Now
distribution Is one of the bakers main
problems, and so Is the competition
from chain stores that bake their own
bread. This Is being met in some in
stances by the absorption of chain
stores by the bakers.
Bread Is now produced more cheaply,
more hygienically and more uniformly
than ever before. The problem Is to
sell 1t. This has been made easier by
the low level OF flour prices, which has
widened profit margins, and it Is pos
sible that volume will be built up as
the year progresses.
The quotations on wheat have stimu-
lated buying by the millers and the
volume OF flour produced has been high.
From the Northwest alone 50,000,000
bushels of wheat in the form of flour
have been shipped abroad. This has
helped the millerS and they suffered
little from drops in wheat and -four
prices since they protected themselves
by hedges in the wheat futures markets.
Product Value Large.
The value of bake-shop products Is
tremendous. While accurate figures still
are lacking for 1928, 1t is estimated they
totaled over 81 ,125. 000, 900. So important
is this industry that the farmer seems
likely to profit from the amount Of pro-
tein In his wheat, which demonstrates
its value for flour, to a greater extent
this year than ever before. Wheat now
is bought by millers and paid for on
the basis Of protein value and efforts
are being made by Federal authorities
to see that the grading Of the wheat
Is more thoroughly done than In the
past. Total value of -four to be pro-
duced this year is expected to exceed
S1,120, 100000.
