In Baltimore, ten posts of the G. A.
r. accompanied by two camps of Sons
of Veterans paraded through the
downtown streets of the city to the
Calvert Station whence they en-
trained for Frederick Road Station
near Loudon Park Cemetery.
The veterans formed a quadrangle
about the decorated speakers stand, a
firing squad went into action and at
the third volley the veterans broke
ranks and strewed flowers over the

or committees and all soldiers graves

That same day there were services
at Antietam Cemetery, Oakland,
Frederick, Westminster, Emmitsburg,
Chestertown, Cambridge, Port De-

points.
A parade which included the Sons
Of Veterans riding on horseback, the
Hagerstown Light Infantry with it's
famous drum corps and four G. A. R.
posts from nearby towns proceeded to
Antietam Cemetery to place flags and
flowers on the graves of those who

ceremonies because they had lost all
their regalia and war flags in a fire

relics destroyed was the flag that had

Union soldiers during the War and

sensation by her belligerance and was
arrested and confined at Richmond

At Chestertown a truly American
democratic spirit was shown when
graves were decorated whether those
who lay beneath had followed the
Union standard or the Confederate,
whether they were white or black.
Unfortunately, not all Union fol-
lowers were as generous. As the years
went by many of the speeches still
carried a strain of bitterness and
those who were detected at the fate
of the Lost Cause resented this atti-

Washington Womon Risks Life Giving
 Blood Tronsfusions

By NEA Service
 Washington, Feb. 11-To hundreds of people throughout the U. S., A. year-old Mrs. Rose McMullin of Washington is a symbol of mercy.
 In the past 12 months she has travelled 29,OO0 miles, by plane and rail and car, to give 53,093 cubic centimeters of her life-blood - 53 quartS-in 256 transfusionS. All she charged were expenses.
 In 1885 Mrs. McMullins niece, then four, was dying of Staphy- lococcus infection resulting from a Fourth of July burn. Only chance for her recovery lay in discovering some one who had recovered from the same infection. No one could be found.
 So Mrs. McMullin herself submit ted to innoculation with the germs. She almost died. But once recover ed, she was immune and able to
