Flying on Capitol
Flags of Senate and House
Need Constant Care.

WASHINGTON. - A little gray
haired woman, who for more than
quarter of a century has been the
Betsy Ross" of the national capt.
toll, labors daily deep under the
capitol dome in the basement of the
huge building to keep the Stars and
Stripes flying over the senate wing
of the building.
She is Mrs. Georgiana Higgins,
native of Rhode Island, and she has
been working at her job of repair
ing the flags and keeping them fly
ing for 81 years.
The senate owned dozen of the
heavy 10 by Is foot flags when the
the war broke out and Mrs. Higgins
has kept them repaired to such good
effect that eight Of them are still
disable.
The capitol and the senate and
house office buildings use seven
flags daily. Those on the east and
west fronts of the central dome and
the house of representatives are
supervised by David Lynn, architect
of the capitol. The house wing flags
are under the direction of South
Trimble, clerk of the house, and the
senate wing flags are supervised by
Wall Doxey, sergeant-at-arms of the
senate.
The five stats on the east and
west fronts and the house office
buildings use about As flags annual
ly and as they wear out they are
presented, through the representa-
tives, to patriotic organizations.
There is a waiting list now for rs
flags, almost two years supply.
Sometimes these flags are tattered
in three weeks, at other less windy
seasons they may last as long as
four months.
The capitol dome flags are aloft
and flying every minute of the year,

flags authorized for use on a build

Circle Founded in 1848
Sews Through Three Wars

RICHMOND, VA.-Women of Sec
ond Presbyterian church through a
circle dating back to 1848, have
sewed through three wars.
An excerpt from a letter written
by the mother of one of the present
church elders, S. H. Halves, to
her son serving in the war between
the states, reads:
''The ladies are still sewing for
the soldiers. Mrs. Hoge (the preach
er's wife) has undertaken to have
some tents made. Uniforms 1 am
willing to make, but l do not think
that making tents is lady's
work"
Later, she wrote that the women
were making bandages for our
army to distinguish them from the
enemy"
During the First World war, the
circle gave entertainments for SOL
diers and turned out handwork for
the Red Cross.
In the Second World war they are
not only sewing for servicemen but
write many letters to Presbyterian
boys in service overseas and pre-
pare Sunday night suppers for hun
CRY soldiers here.
In between wars, the sewing cir
cle-now known as the woman's
auxiliary has piled its needles
making bazaar novelties to help pay
off various church debts.
