Von Steuben's 200th Birth Anni- l ! National 3770 versary Arouses Wide-Spread Approval. 9 AM. to 6 P.M. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. The Postmaster General, Mr. Walter ®. Brown, in authorizing two million 2- cent stamps adorned with the head of Baron von Steuben to commemorate the 200th anniversary of that revolutionary hero's birth seemed to have touched the popular sentiment toward the man who trained the soldiers at Valley Forge. the heat and excite- ment of the World War, it looked for a time as tho Von Steuben's glory would - be ex hed, like that of Prederick the Great whin Congress or- dered the royal statue taken down from the entrance to the War College. The Von Steuben stamp is pink like that which bears the head of Washington, and th* head of the German warrior is_copied from the familiar statue in La Fayette Park. Gen. von Steuben fared better 8t the hands of ths grateful Republic than any of his associates. But it was then considered, although sometimes disputed now, that he gave the most valuable services of any of the titled warriors who served in the Continentc. Army.

This lamented diplomat was a poet and scholar, but he also was a pro- found student of government as ex. hibited in the conduct of those gov- erned. He once siid that the citizens of this country make a fetish of their habits, and that all things are bent toward performing daily acts according | to_schedule. few homes cared to have the routine |of the meals disturbed—breakfast at such an hour; luncheon, dinner, all set ccwn on the domestic program as un- alterably as the laws of the Medes and Persians. Latins living in Washington have shown that their routine of life is much more elastic, and no doubt many have ad- mired but have no ability to imitate. The breakfast of the South is such members of the family or guests arrive. Dr. Nabuco stated his views epigram- your dinner because it is 6, 7 or o'clock, according to your habit; we in Rio because we are hungry.” The same with luncheon, which may be from 1 until 3, and may be served in the draw- ing room or library, as well a: in the dining room proper. - But neither Rio nor any other Latin capital suffers from the servant problem as do cities in the land of opportunity, nor as meekly submits to the routine ordered to make things easy for the cook and the waitress. x x % * The Dawes trio, Gen.
