The wounds of the Civil War were fresh in the land. Aching hearts were stealing to cemeteries to bedeck the graves of soldier sons and hus: bands who had died fighting for the blue or the gray. Thousands of others sought graves} of those called “missing id longed for even a grave to call their own. Tt was then that Mrs, Tyler called together the women of her town and organized a Ladies’ Memorial Asso- ciation. The women went from Mrs. Tyler's home to Linwood cemetery in Columbus where formal Memorial Day exercises were held, and the wo- men solemnly pledged to carry on the sweet task of decorating the graves of the soldier dead on the same day each year. in a very few years the idea had swept the nation until Memor- ial Day became a fegal holiday so decreed by Congres The dai however, is optional with the sta themselves. veral southern states adhere to the original date of April 26.

STEWART) Washington, May 29.—Senator Reed Smoot of Utah sprang a joke the other day. It’s the talk of the whole Senate. write home put, but it was the first one, according to all the best authorities, that the particular sena- ‘tor ever perpetrated. Smoot takes life seriously. He isn’ melancholy but he's sol- ema. He never laughs. He never smiles, Sometimes he gets irritable, bu never, except in this lone recent in- stance, he ever been known to get funm: ‘ante Buildings s Smoot was meKing an appeal the time for some new govern: buildings in Washington. ‘out that a large part of the govern- aunental personnel in the capital is housed in w nde@ ori- ginally, as temporary quarters, most- ly, of pretty sketchy, war-time con- struction dnd now in a cad state of dilapidation. ‘It’s an wi i get these employes out of the old shacks they have to work in now, or I'm afgaid they'll fall down altogether. “Do you. mean, asked Senator. Norris facetiously, “that you're afraid, the employes will fall down gr that the buildings will?” I mean the buildings,” ‘answered, oot. “Government employes don move fast enough to fall do Senators Amused His fellow lawmakers could hardly believe their ears. For a jute they stared, in dumb amazement. When they finally realized that the funereal Senator Smoot actually hhad indulged in a witticism they did full justice to it by mearly laughing their heads off. You may not think it was @ good enough gag to go into very violent convulsions over, Well, you don’t know Senator Smoot. It was like seeing ‘Rip Van Winkle, just down from the Catskills, trying to dance the Charleston. ; Later Smoot received numerous con- gratulations. They appeared to embarrass him somewhat. Evidently he. hadn't ap- \e Not that, as a joke, it was anything ny preciated, in advance, what a hit he was going to make and found all this erpowering. He's being touted now, as the Sen- ate humorist but I doubt if he car- ries on with it. Davey Agrees : Probably nobody else.got quite the real kick out of the Utah senator's jest that Congressman Martin <L. Davey of Ohio did. Davey is the representative who contends that the federal civil serv: ice’s middle namc is “inefficlency’ from top to bottom and who wants to cut it down numerically, partly to’ save money and partly to improve it. Hes been, panned pretty. thorough- dy for his remarks on the subject but here’s as strong an ally as Senator’ Smoot saying, at least by broad im- plication, the same thing thet he says—that government employes don’t; hustle fast enough to hurt 'em any.

Leaders from more than twenty different religious and reform or- ganizations lined up befere the -judi- ciary sub-committee of the House trict Committee to force their puritanic Sunday bills through, thus making the most formidable array of religious zealots and the longest and most severely contested ‘fight ever staged before:a Congressional Com- mittee on a religious issue.
