One of the most colorful sections in the line of march and that which | was adjudged best and awarded the first prize of §10 was the “Pillars of | the State,” presented by the Wallace | Memorial United Presbyterian Chu Sunday School, under the leadership of Mrs. J. E. Marshall. There were | 50 or more children in the section, | forming a large rectangle and in-| closed with a bunting garland. “The Pillars” were represented by the older children, who took the part of Miss Columbia, the college graduate, branches of the defense service and the police. The group adjudged winner of sec- ond prize, $5, was “The Eastern Star, presented by the Joppa Lodge Chap. 1er, No. 27, O. E. S., led by Mrs. A. C. Norcross. The center of the group was composed of a large star car- ried at the points by the women of ihe lodge. In an aperture in the cen- ter of the vast star marched Mrs. 1da J. Jones, matron of the lodge, and Joseph Carr, patron. The children of St. Gabriel's Sun- day school under Oliver Veihmeyer, were awarded five gallons of ice eream by the jury for their part in the parade. Costumed in white, the boys and girls of the Sunday school ranged from three years of age to twelve. ‘Woman’s Club Carries Flag. The Petworth Woman's Club, led by Mrs. J. H. Robinson, was awarded a prize of 0 for its presentation of a large American flag carrfed ex- tended by the women of the club throughout the entire march. Other _sections of the parade in-| cluded Spanish War Veterans, under B. F. Motley, commander; the Indian ‘War Veterans, under L. F. Bendixen, commander, and the Army and Navy Union, under Mr. Campbell, command- er. Other “pedestrian” floats included the MacFarland Junior High School Liberty Bell, led by Miss C. E. Toner; the Spirit of 76, by the Petworth School, headed by E. H. Haycraft, and the Preacher, Patriot of the Revolu- tion, presented by the Zion Lutheran rch. Wa-Wa-See Camp of the| Camp Fire Girls, led by Mrs. L. H.| Dewey, all in the costume of Indian maidens, were another attractive fea- ture in the parade.

CHICAGO, July 4.—Federal taxes are high because the cost of war is high and will come down when nations can get along with less war and not before, Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas declared yesterday in an address at a patriotic meeting at Mooseheart, Ill, where the Moose Lodge maintains a home and school for children. “The biggest part of the money we | send to Washington goes to pay debts of all kinds incurred for war pur- poses,” he said. ““We are not spending t00 much so far as present needs are concerned, but until we outlaw war by a solemn treaty between the nations, until we make war an internatioal crime, disarmament agreements are hound to be more or less meaningless no matter how sincerely carried out.

Committees on ‘“practical citizen- ship, to be created in each of more than 100,000 local bodies” composing fraternal. patriotic, commercial, labor, agricultural, church and women’s or- ganizations, which are co-operating with the federation, will conduct the work, he explained “The plan provides that the local committees thus to be created in a given community,” he continued, “will also form a central- committee, which, in addition to advising on methods for getting out the vote on reglistration, primary and election days, will ar- range for study of the vital ques- tions dealt with by State and munic- ipal bodies.” Such central committees already have been formed in‘ New York and Boston. i The average citizen has come’ to shun party politics because of its cor- ruption and dishonesty, which he has allowed to creep in by his own neglect, said Mr. Hammond.

C. H. Reich was herding sheep in a foothills pas- ture when his attention was drawn by the singular movements of an aged Indian on a hillside. This Indian, from a distant reservation, was “mak- ing medicine.” His work completed, he pointed into the hill. “Much gold,” he gaid. Stones Laid as in Wall. A few years later Mr. Reich, with Delance Crabtree, while driving a | plow over the hillside to the tablelands below, uncovered on the side of the hill an oblong stone, uncommon to the area. He ran the plow along and found similar_ stones. This fitted in with Mr. Reich’s plans for a new ranch house. he stones were laid as in a wall, but neither of the men by training or by inclination was an _archeologist Even the stones that made up a crude Kkeystone arch over a doorway were removed and the incident was closed when their job was completed. Five years later, Delance, in a casual conversation with his brother. Donald, in Denver remarked about the unusual formation. Donald explored. He found that the stones were more or less uniform in tize and were laid in masonry fashion \ith a mortarlike substance between the joints. Retains Third Interest.

Such is not the case here. There wre two separate walls, joined expert- at right angles. Again, if one dike was laid down first and later a cro: csure opened up, the original wall would have been damaged by the arth movement.

Another Corner Indicated. Farther up the hillside to the south, where it was necessary to dig 15 feet | down, there are indications of another | corner. A few feet to the south is 1 badly deteriorated bank that sembles a terrace. As a rule the blocks of stone in the main wall are in perfect condition. They are of the same width, making the wall of the same height as the ex- cavations which pierce the glacier- | made hill that covers it. The lengths vary from 1 to 3 feet.

BY WILL P, KENNEDY. “Lest we forget'-—— “This day we celebrate,” the Fourth of July, is written in glory on the pages of history, not merely for one epochal event—the birth of the Na-| tlon—but it is carved also on the milestones of progress in development of this great Jand of ours “Independence day” really dates from July 4, 1776 when the Declara- tion of Tndependence, written by Thomas Jefferson, was adopted by Congress and published to the world. By that very act the thirteen British colonies ceased to exist—and the | United States of America took i's | stand ameng the nations of the earth. But even. before then the date was an important one in the history of this country. George Washington, who at the age of 21 was the heater of dispatches on a hazardous mi Dinwiddie of Virgini the commander of the French forts in the region around where Pitts- burgh stands today, two vears later was sent back to this frontier in com- mand of a body of Virginia troops under orders to dislodge the French at Fort Duquesne. His attack brought on the war which the French wished to defer, but Washington was forced hy superior numbers to retire from Fort Necessity on July 4, 1 Washington in Command. On July 3, 1775, Washington command of the Revolutionary f Cambridse as_general inander-in-chief. He was dressed ac- cording to the fashion of the times i a “blue broadcloth coat, buff s clothes, silk stockings and a cocked hat.” His Army numbered about 14,000—a motley crowd, badly clothed. poorly armed, with many unfit for service. Then, one year later—on the eve- ning of July 4, 1776—Congress listened to Jefferson read his draft of the Declaration of Independence, ordered a few minor changes to make its ex- pression more terse and exact, con cluding with “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliarce in the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.” The bell on ihe Pennsylvania Statehouse, on which was inscribed. “Proclaim = liberty _throughout the Jand, unto all the inhabitants there- of,” 'was rung to announce that. Con- sress had approved this American Magzna Charta, asserting the rights of the people to form a Constitution and a Government of their own. The original of this immortal docu- ment is still preserved in the Library of Congress. Again on July 4, 1778, occurred the Wyoming massacre in northern Penn- sylvania, when the inhabitants were cruelly treated and most of the men killed by a Tory and Indian force. The Battle of Chippewa was fousht on July 4, 1814, when the American forces were attempting a fourth invas- jon of Canada and Gen. Winfield Scott drove the enemy as far as Lake On- tario. July 4 Stands Out in History. In constructive improvements as well as in warfare the date July 4 stands out in our history. It was on July 4, 1871, that work was begun on the Erie Canal—the immense task of copnecting Lake Erie with the Har- lem River. It was called “Clinton's Big Ditch” by those who laughed at the enterprise as impractical. Also, the first passenger railroad in the United States, the Baltimore & took Ohio, was started on July 4, 1828, 99 | years ago. This was two years earlier than the first steam railroad was opened in England. Before 1835 there were 19 railroads built or under con- struction. So rapidly did railroad con- struction progress that the census of | 1860 skows 31,000 miles of railroads at a cost of nearly $1,200,000,000 Just a half century from the day when he read to Congress the great document that has made his name imperishable in history, Thomas Jef- fer<on died, on July 4, 1826, and by a curious coincidence ~John Adams, who had long been his rival and political antagonist, died on the same day. Jefferson was author of the Declaration of Independence, Adams was the principal supporter, and they both signed it. Then they quarreled in 1801, when Jefferson ncceeded Adams President, but they became close friends again later. Euch died supposing that the other still lived— and Adams is quote ng “Jef- ferson still survive! Another Important Milestone. July 4, 1844, witnessed another im- portant milestone in the progress of this country, when Congress, with the expediture of $30,000, had established a trial line of Samuel F. B. Morse's magnetic telegraph between a base- ment room in the Capitol and the railroad station in Pratt street. Bal timore. The telegraph, with the rail- roads, opened up a new era in the prosperity of the country. The treaty with Mexico was signed July 4, 1848, at Guadalupe Hidalgo, Mexico receiving $15,000,000 besides the payment of her debts to Amer- ican citizens amounting to $3,000.000. The annexation of Texas, the cession of Mexico, and the Gadsden purchase for $10,000,000, five years later, added square miles to the American area, and gave the United States the form and boundaries as at present. same for the subsequent purchase of Alaska. Of particular interest to us here in| Washington is July 4, 1848, because on that date the corner stone of the Washington Monument was laid wearing the same apron and using the same trowel with which Washing- ton laid the corner stone of the Capitol The present site of this great obelisk. | which is rated as the most beautiful |- in all the world, was designated by Maj. L'Lenfant in laying out the plan | of the city and approved by Washing- ton. Tt was then contemplated that with | Masonic ceremonies, the Grand Master | JULY 4, 1927, WE CELEBRATE" ration of Independ- of the Revolution, would be placed there. Atlantic Cable Exhibited. July 4, 1858, witnessed still another tremendous step in the system of com- | munications, which has aided so ma- | terially in developing this country and promoting trade, when Cyrus W. Field's Atlantic Cable was laid and a message was sent by Queen Vic-| toria to President Buchanan and a reply received. Kurope and America are now linked together for instan- taneous communication by a number of such cables. It was on July 4, 1861, that the two houses of Congress were called in joint session by President Lincoln, and promptly declared that the Civil War must he prosecuted in order to p serve the integrity of the Union, with all the resources of the Government to be used to maintain the Constitu- tion and preserve the union of all the States. | The terrible series of engagements known as the “Seven Days' Battles” closed vietoriously for the Union forces | on July 4, 1862, when McClellan won his way to the James River and end- ed his Peninsula campaign, bringing his forces on to the Capital City for | its defense. | The backhone of the Civil War was briken on July 4, 1863, exactly two years from the day Congress met to | authprize the war—for not only had the battle of Gettysburg been won by the Union forces in the East, but also | Grent captured Vicksbu in the West, the Mississippi was opencd and the Confederacy was divided. In Ax kansas the Confederates attacked the | post at Helena on July 4 and we badly beaten. Peace-time Incidents. « Peace-time calamities have also oc- casionally come on our day of great national significance—for example, on July 4, 1866, fire destroyéd the center of Portland, Me., making 2,000 home- less. On July 4, 1868, the Burlingame treaty between the United States and China was executed. President Coolidge is today cele- brating his fifty-fifth birthday anni- versary. e On July 4, 1881, the Nation was again steeped in sorrow, for President Garfield had been shot down by a disappointed office seeker named Guiteau. But this sad event aroused the country more fully to the evils of the Federal spoils system and two years later Congress acceded to the popular demand by passing the Pen- dleton civil service bill. On July 4, 1884, Bartholdi's Statue of “Liberty Enlightening the World,” which_stands on Bedloes Island ifi New York Harbor, was presented in Paris by France to Ambassador Mor- ton, who aeeepted it in behalf of the United States. This was created a national monument by proclamation of Pr ent Coolidge three yearsago. | On July 4, 1894, Hawaii, now so| much in the limelight because of the successful record-breaking. non-stop flight over the Pacific Ocean by the Army aviators, was ‘made a republic, and on July 7, four years later, it was annexed to the United States. Also, on July 4, 1894, our great | automotive industry got its startg for {on that date the first gasoline vehicle was operated. This was the grand- daddy of the more tkan 5,000,000 au- tomobiles and trucks now in operation in this country, and the pioneer and pathfinder for our great automotive industry which furnishes employment, pleasure and recreation to practically jevery one of the 120.000,000 inhabit- {ants of these United States, to whom it has become a daily necessity. Nation Again Involved ‘in War. And now we come chronologically | | to another war period in which July |4 again loomed as the date of fate for the American flag. During the Spanish-American War the dfenses on the heights of San Juan and El Caney were stormed July 1 to 3. ] At the same time the Spanish fleet, | attempting to e pe frove-the harbor, | was destroyed by Admiral Sampson's | squadron, And on the eve of the | Fourth of July the fateful battle of | Santiago de Cuba was fought. It was on July 4, 24 years ago that the cable between the United States {and the Philippines was completed and a message was sent around the world m minutes, +Because it is recent tragedy we need ! { mention but with extreme brevity that | during the World War the battle of the Somme was fought from July 1 | to the 10th.

It left Scotland July and landed at Mineola July 6, and four days later started home again. And at the same time we were get- ting another thrill with the opening up of airplane service between New York and Chicago.
