After detailing the fact that more than three milllon French girls will remain unmarried because of France's losses during the war, the letter states: “It is because of this that our most eminent hen have the idea of creating this ofli:e fo mission of finding abroad se minded young ten to unite selves with our beautiful girles.” It is only fair to presume that (he typewriter slipped and “hen” shouid have read “men."

Chapter Inclines to Such Emblem. STANDARD STARS - BLue STRIPES - RED A RIPRESENTATIVE FIAG FOR. THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ~ THE DESIGN TAKEN FRoM THE COAT CF ARMS OF GEORGE WASHINGTON Several weeks ago, shortly after the introduction of a bill by Chair- man Reed of the House District com- mittee proposing that the District of Columbia, as the seat of the capital of the nation, should have a flag of its own, The Star printed a design for such a flag made by John Mackaye Dunbar of this city. This was in the issue of February 20. £ ‘The feature of Mr. Dunbar's design was the shield portion of the coat-of- arms of the Washington family, reputed source of the idea for the national emblem, while the banner was designed to be made in the na- tional colors. Actuated by the same inspiration, Charies Dunn of the staff of the Nation's Business, published in this city by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States, sent The Star a different design, but also embodying the idea of a part of Washingion's coat-of-arms. The idea was quite original with Mr. Dunn, inasmuch as his design was received at this office some: days before Mr. Dunbar’ was publirked. Flag Bill Reported Ount. Senator Ball, chairman of the Sen- ate District committee, has, within the past few days, reported a bill providing for a commission to design a flag for the District. In view of the renewed interest in the flag idea caused thereby, The Star reproduces Mr. Dunn's design herewith. Its au- thor formerly was employed as an artist in the engraving plant that made the designs for the well known ‘Flag Book,” issued by the National Geographic Society. At that time he noticed both the absence of any au- | thorized flag for the District, as well as the lack of good designs for many of the existing state flags. His idea of a flag is a white fleld containing two red horizontal stripes and three blue stars, both of which features are contained in_ the Wash- ington shield. Like Mr. Dunbar, Mr. Dunn thinks the use af this design As Well As Large Investors President, Citizens Saviogs Bank.

Favers Washington Shield. A few weeks ago a committee of Our Flag Chapter, D. A. R., in urging the need for such a flag, announced itself as of the bellef that the banner should not be of the elaborate, pic- torial type, such as any flag bearing the complicated seal of the District necessarily would be, and as pleased with the idea of utilizing the Wash- ington shield. Charles Fine Arts Commission, has voiced the belief that the flag should be simple in design, and should emphasize In some way that the District is the seat of the central government of all the States. In this connection, the ugrestion has been made by Dr. William Tindall, associated with Do District government for half a cen- tury, that the three stars of a flag embodying the Washington shield Idea might be constyued as indicating the three branches of the government —executive, legislative and judicial.

SUPPORT PLEDGED WORKERS Two Citizens’ Associations Hold Meetings on Subject. Citing more than 4,000 deaths here in the last ten years as the result of cancer, and declaring that a heavy proportion of these victims could bave been saved by early examina- tion and attention, Dr: William C. Fowler, District health officer, yes- terday asserted that a diagnostic cancer clinic is needed here and should be provided if the funds are obtainable. Dr. Fowler, who is co-operating with the District of Colui®ia com- mittee of thé American Society for Control of Cancer in combating the disease, approves the educational campaign the society is carrying on throughout the country, and advo- cates detecting it in the incipient stages. Period of Campaign. _The society has designated the pe- riod between March 15 and April 15 as “Cancer month.” e ct committee has headquarters at 1718 M street northwest. Dr. Fowler has gathered statistics on cancer mortality in the District since 1902, showing that the deaths ranged steadily upward from 218 that year until the peak—487—was reached in 1921. In 1922 and 1923 the figures were, respectively, 486 and 453, this being 7.7 and 6.8 per cent of the total deaths in the District. There was, however, a large population in- crease in this period. Dr. Fowler declared that cancer of the internal organs also must be guarded against. A public clinic, Dr. Fowler believes, would cause many more who suspect incipient cancer to apply for examina- tion than now eeek treatment. There is one_clinic here—that of the Wom- en's Welfare Association—that is co-operating in the campaign, but only women patients are received. Local organizations _continue to pledge their support to the movement late additions to the committee of 100 which is actively directing the campaign being Miss Gertrude H.
