Origin of Infantry
Title as Queen
Stumps Experts

For years military leaders have
been calling the Infantry the
Queen of Battle" but to this day,
officials admitted yesterday, no one
seems to know how the lady got
her name
With the approach of Infantry
Day, next Thursday, the Army War
College, repository of endless mar
tial lore, was asked. the question.
1t doesn't know. The Infantry
Journal" semi official monthly mag
azine, said it doesn't know.
Even H. L. Mencken, author Of
THE American Language" who
knows the answer to so many things,
was stumped.
TT somehow sounds modern to
me-" he ventured
One Army expert thought the
phrase had been conceived by a
French general. but he didn't know
which one. Another attributed the
quotation to a Greek historian.
Infantry Day will be observed at
the Army War College at 7:30 am
when 1t. Gen. Lesley J. McNair,
commander of the Army Ground
Forces, will present Combat Infan-
tryman badges to four soldiers at
a troop review.
Three of the infantrymen served
in the South Pacific and the other
saw action in Tunisia.

Glenn Dale Gets Offer
OF 50 Nurses Aides
From DC. Red Cross
Move Expected to Ease
Tension at Institution;
But More Aid Is Needed

More than so Red Cross voiun-
teers, who have completed advanced
home nursing courses, have been
offered by the District Chapter of
the Red Cross to assist at Glenn
Dale Sanitorium during the man
power shortage.
This was revealed last night by
the Health Department, which an
that Health Director
George G. Rutland had received
letter from Otto s. Lund, manager
OF the local chapter, who said more
than so volunteers could be pro-
vided as nurses aides.
The department said. however.
it would be necessary to provide
transportation to the tuberculosis
sanatorium, situated near Bowie,
Md. District officials have been
working on plans for municipal
bus service to the institution.
Although this number of vol
unteer workers will not begin to
solve the serious labor problem that
now exists at Glenn Dale, it viii
certainly remove much of the ten
sion there" spokesman for the
department said.
1t was explained that there is
need for two full-time aides for
each OF the IA wards and that vol
unteers could only be expected to
work one full day a week or a few
hours on several days a week.
The department announced Fri
day that the Federal Bureau of
Prisons had listed Glenn Dale and
Gallinger Municipal Hospital with a
number Of Federal prisons as inusti-
tutions willing to accept certain
PAROLES in the manpower crises. A
group Of conscientious objectors
were obtained sometime back by the

Mystery Of Underground Monument
SoIved-It's Geodetic Elevation Guide
Reporter, Comeromor
Confirm Existence of
Miniature of Shaft

1--WE lifted the manhole cover
and there it was-the origina
Washington Monument"
The friends of Mrs. Sherman
Burt, 4101 Davis place NV, were
bit skeptical when Mrs. Burt re-
alted how she and some. relatives
had seen an underground version
of the Monument. not more than
SO feet from the famous structure
1t seems that just as they were
leaving the Monument one day last
week an elderly man approached
the group and blandly inquired If
they would like to see "the original
monument"
They followed the stranger to q
point about so feet south of '>the
Monument. He pointed to man
hole cover.
Lift it and see for yourself" he
said.
Mrs. Burt said they lifted the cover
and were amazed to see what ap-
peared to be a smaller version of
the monument. The mysterious
stranger sauntered away after ex-
planning that the structure had been
the original monument but had sunk
into the n1arshy grounds.
One of Mrs. Burt's friends tele-
phoned The Star and suggested the
mystery of the underground struc-
ture be investigated. A reporter
and photographer were dispatched
to meet Mrs. Burt.
Removal of the manhole cover
revealed an obelisk like the monu-
ment on a miniature scale. Because
of the narrowness of. the concrete
well surrounding the granite struc-
ture, it was difficult to estimate its
depth.
In an effort to clear up what
now looked like first-rate mystery,
several old-time Washington resi-
dents were called. But it seemed
none of them had ever heard of
the miniature monument.
A number of Government agen-
cies were called, all to no avail.
Then, some one had the idea of
calling the Office of the Coast and
Geodetic Survey and within few
minutes the Mystery Of the Un-
derground Monument" was solved.
1t seems the obelisk is a bench
mark" used as control point from
which the department can set up
their instruments to check any un-
due settlement of the monuments
structure. 1t also is used as an
guide.
The structure is Is feet high, 8
feet broad at the base and Ia feet
wide near the top.
