NECRD NENORIL TOCOME UPAGAI Sponsors Want Monument Here to Honor Colored Heroes. National | The National Memorial Association will have reintroduced at the coming session of Congress the jolnt resolu- tion to provide for the erection of a tational memorial in Washington to the negroes who have fought in de-| fense of the United States in any of i its wars, according to an announce- sed for publication today by | Smith, secretary | e resolution was introduced last ssion and statements in favor of the memorial were made at a hearing. | The resolution, however, was not acted upon. Sponsored by Wood. The resolution was sponsored by | Representative William R. Wood of Indiana. The movement also has the support of the Natlonal Baptist Con- vention, which has a membership of 3,253,733 over the United States. A resolution adopted during the conven- tion at Baltimore a short time ago and which was sent to President Cool- | idge praised the service of the negro | in American wars and declared that | the erection of a national memorial | would be a profound inspiration to (lh" coming generations of the colored race. Text of Resolution. The resolution read, in part: “Whenever our country’s welfare has been in jeopardy and a call for men, either to win her independence, to defend her honor or to preserve her RS an inseparable union was issued, the negro has always been among the first to respond. The records show that over 3,000 colored soldiers and sailors fought in_ the Revolutionary ‘War, 3,000 in the War of 1812, 178,975 | in the Civil War, 13,617 in the Span-| ish-American War, and 400,000 were under arms during the period of the great World War.

Clumps of York and Lancaster roses, probably brought from England as small cuttings before the American Revolution and cared for tenderly until the Civil War, formed the or! inal nucleus of one of the mo: charming gardens in nearby Virginia, that of Mr. and Mrs. Gilson Gardner on the Mount Vernon Boulevard be- tween Washington and Alexandria. The garden now consists of about a half acre of old-fashioned flower beds, artistically set amid pines transplanted from neighboring waods. Thousands of hollyhocks, bleeding heart and pink phlox, with yellow roses galore, com- bine in the color scheme of the garden. Found 50 Bushes. Mrs. Gardner found about 50 tall bushes which she believes originally were York and Lancasters. For half a century they had been left to them- selves, however, and some had run wild, losing the characteristic red and white combination which made the rose so famous in Mstory. It repre- sents symbolically the peace pact be-| tween the warring houses of York and | Lancaster for the throne of England, over which the Wars of the Roses The dukes of Lancaster carried a red rose as their emblem, while the dukes of York carried a white blossom, both probably ordinary wild thorns of the English country- side. At the conclusion of the wars, which had resulted in nearly wiping out the old Norman families in Eng- land, the combination red and white rose appeared as if by a miracle, al- though it probably was an accidental sport such as continually are appear- ing in roses. ‘The rose was very close to the hearts of the cavalier familles which settled Virginia, and hundreds of them were brought to the New World. The Gardner home was one part of the old Addison estate, one of the largest in this part of the country. They con- tinually are digging-up in their garden relics of” Civil War and slavery days.

By Science Service. PARIS, September 20.—A new in- which measures altitude electrically and about elght times as accurately as the ordinary barometer, to a height of at least one mile, has been constructed by the French phys- Huguenard, Planlel, and was recently shown be- fore the French Academy of Sclences. The apperatus i3 based on the fact that a heated object cools off much more quickly in dense air than in very thin alr or near-vacuum, because In a near-vacuum there is very little matter to conduct or convey the heat away. The density of air depends on the altitude, so that an instrument that will measure air density will also | & give & measure of the altitude. The device conslsts of a wire of great resistance, so that when an electric: current is passed through a s high temperature can be obtained.
