Story of Government Printing Office

The captain is one of that great multitude
of people who enjoy barking back to the
old days. and often includes in his programs
selections from those delightful operas Of
thirty or forty years ago, like "Florodora," In
Guiding the never-to- be-forgotten sextet, Tell
Me Pretty Maiden; Robin Hood" with
Jessie Bartlett Davis singing "Oh. Promise
Me-, The Fortune Teller" and more re-
Gently Victor Herbert's "Sweethearts," all
music of an elevating character.

Committee on Historic Sites at the un-
yelling of the tablet mention was made of
