"When Tod was drafted, a month &ter, you may imagine my consternation. In ten days I lost eight , pounds, and looking back I seem to ;. -jlave been in tears most of the time. Before we parted I spoke of marsiage, feeling that I could better bear Bad news in the future if I had that •ecurity to go on, but he told me ^hat it would upset his mother terribly and said that Sfie was already sad enough. Suffered a Shock. "After he had gone--he had said more than once that he hoped I would some day meet'his mother--I Went to call upon "her. "Another girl • Was there, staying with her, and from what they said I realized that Tod was practically engaged to the other girl. I suppose many a > girl has had to bear the shock I jthen experienced, and it is not about Chat I am writing you. It is about another man. _ "This man is 42, married, and has » # daughter of 12. • - 'He :is the manager of our office, a fine, gentle, .C'fi onsiderate friend to me. He asks .jftrthing but my friendship' and I •' want nothing more than this.

"Martin, to call him that, first Won my interest by commenting •pon my changed looks and manlier, when I was first feeling the peartbreak of Tod's coldness. For : a time I merely said that matters . §4 home were worrisome--goodness knows they were! But after a few . Weeks of his cheerful kindness, and J| thousand little acts of considerate and sympathy, I broke down We afternoon when he and I were :':i|k»ne finishing some late letters, 7' aad confessed my whole miserable affair with Tod. "But this friendship is" being aeverely criticized, here in the of- . fice and by outsiders as well. Now ane qf my aunts, has mentioned it , ID my mother. My aunt, it seems, knows Martin's wife. But as there jfe absolutely nothing wrong in our 'friendship I refuse to be intimidated ly her,. Martin makes me only the, Simplest presents; he has given me ldktrchiefs; a bag; and flowers BY ANOTHER NAME You cant avoid the consequences of philandering by calling it "companionship" or harmless friendshipHe may be dignified about it, but the Martin of this letter is just plain philandering. Olivette may be grateful note for his kindness. She may feel that those who advise her against continuing her relationship icith him are the worst kind of prudes. Rut the fact is that a man who uill urong his xvifejaJnd child can hardly be expeMed to be faithful to another icoman. Bo sure tQ read Kathleen i\orris' advice to Olivette. ri v write me--or write my mother--that it is possible in these days for a girl to have an innocent and stimulating companionship with an older man? Or are we back in the Victorian era, when a man's wife was absolutely the only female to whom he could address" a word, once they were married? "To give up .our little notes, messages, daily encounters now woujd undo all the help Martin has giyen me. I will anxiously await your decision." All right, here it is, Olivette, but you won't like it: My decision is that you are playing a very silly and very usual office game, and that you are going to be thej inevitable loser if„ you go on, | Martini in this,, case, lias nothing to risk; rte will go just as far as she will permit him, in his affair with the pretty little office girl, and when he chooscs to stop or when his wife makes matters too uncomfortable, he can gracefully, withdraw, not hurt at all by the experience. "After all," Martin can say to himself, "from the begifuiing Olivette knew that I was married, and I knew that she was a "girl who already had had an unfortunate affair." Girls who indulge in office love affairs don't often come out winners. It does happen, in rare cases, that the man actually gets a divorce, but even then her path is not one of roses. She has to hold his affection against overwhelming odds. Society strongly disapproves, and while the voices of his family and his old «friends fall on deaf ears for a few ecstatic weeks of honeymbon, after that he begins to hear them. Wauld Faee Criticism. His mother and sisters will meet Olivette, but that is all they will da They won't make a family break, but they won't like Olivette. They will feel Martin ha§ treated Helen and dear little Jean very badly. Martin is more accustomed to the comfortable routine of his home than he knows. With all her faults Helen knows the way he likes his coffee in the morning, that he hates jazz bands, that-he.likes a late poker game every week or two. These details and a thousand others would have to be explained to Olivette; she would'disl ke all his friends, and he would hate to come home tired and find office pals of hers chaW ting in the living-room. Besides that, finance! suddenly would become important. While Regner, Alderman'1 Carey, Treasurer Home folks are still urged to make a special effort to write to* therj^g'ys in service but a special warning has been given by American Red Cross workers to be careful what you write to these fighting men. These workers come into contact daily with the troubles and personal problems of American servicemen both at home and abroad and their advice should be heeded. Too many times, they warn, the folks at home poujrfbrth petty family problems in letters to their boys who are away in camp or ..fighting at the front.

CARLTON A note at the bottom ot the programs required. all persons within hearing to rise and all men not under arms to remove their .<hats. During alf practice marches, as well as in garrison, this custom was followed and the same behavior required of all civilians within the lines. The New York Times referred to the fact that the colonel of the Eighth cavalry was trying to establish a national anfh^m This attracted the attention o\Co!iJhel _ command of the recruitinijSliipo! at David's Island, who wrote me that he was havtng. recruits taught to sing our national airs. I suggested that he concentrate his instruction on "The Star Spangled Banner." When Governor Sheldon of South Dakota visited Fort V-;ade our custom was explained t^him. Later I attended a reception give" by Governor Hastings of Pennsylvania at the governor s mansion In Harrjsburg and he promised me that he would try to have'the cus^VT> established among the state militia. [ V Not long afterward I had an interview on the subject with thi secretary ol war. Daniel E. Lamont, and my impression is that it was but a few months later that he issued an order requiring "The Star, Spangled Banner" to be played at every army pos'. every evening at retreat In addition to this I tried-to enforce respect (or our national flag by having every one rise and remove their hats when the Colors passed them. t Several years later the adjutant general of the army issued an order that "the musical composition familiarly known as 'The Star Spangled- Banner' be designated as the national air of the United States of America, but that these regulations are binding only upon the person nel of the military and naval services."* In 1916 President Wilson issued a similar order, but it was not until March, 1931, that congress passed a bill, which was signed-by President Hoover, officially designating "The Star Spangled Banner" as "our national anthem " The man most responsible for this law was the late Capt. Walker I. Joyce, then a national officer of the V. F. W. Thus the seed which had t>een planted by Caleb Carlton at a frontier army -post in South Dakota just 50 years ago bore fruit in the national capital and gave to America her official hymn. Carlton was bom in Ohio in 1836 and was graduated from West Point in the class of 1859. His first service was on the Pacific coast from which he returned in time to take part, in the fighting that followed the First Ba'ttle "of Bull Run. There; after.^he was actively engaged throughout the war, except for- six months in Libby prison, after being • captured_aL..the Battle of Chickamauga. For his gallantry in battle he. received two brevets but at the clpse of the war reverted to his rank as a captaiaof infantry in the regular army. , / / Nick J. Adams, Special police j duty j Ed M.
