FLAGS FOR UNCLE SAM.
Made by Wholesale in Washington
and Nowhere Else.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
''Our firm makes all the flags for the
postoffices, custom houses, court houses and
revenue cutters Of the United States said
Washington dealer TO Star reporter.
The government furnishes the bunting.
On the same terms we manufacture by con-
tract the code signals. Each set of signals
consists Of nineteen flags, OF different shapes
aud oolors. They form sort of alphabet,
and with them a whole language has been
made up, 80 that vessels can talk with one
another at distance OF miles as plainly as
if they spoke English. This is the interna-
tional code, which sailors Of all countries
comprehend.
THE national flags which we mauufsct-
ure must be Of certain pattern, as di-
rected in the Revised Statutes. Whenever
ne " state is admitted an extra star is
added to the blue field and the stars must
all he arranged just SO. At present there
are forty-four stars, and the law directs
that they shall be in six rows, the upper
and lower rows each containing eight and
the other rows seven. Thirteen stripes there
must be, to correspond with the number of
the original COLONIES, and the blue field Is
required TO be twO-ffths of tho entire Length
OF the flag. Also it must be of the depth Of
seven stripes. The regulation flag Is l0xl9
feet.
I'VE get our flags from factories In New
England in the shape OF bunting. IL is e
wooden material. loosely woven, so that the
wind may blow through It easily. We re-
ceive it in big rolls-some red, some white
and some blue. The blue, of course is for
the blue field, and the red and white for
stripes To make the stripes We take roll
tightly wound and cut it into slices with
very keen-edged carving knife, saving it
through. Then we cut the stuff thus sliced
into the proper lengths. Afterward they
are sewed together. The blue field is called
the Union
"Ihe stars are cut out OF white linen and
sewed upon each side of the blue field. They
are made very simply, with pair Of sc.s-
sors and a tin pattern. The sewing and
arrangement of them has 10 be very care
fully done First they are basted on and
then the edges are turned under before the
final sewing is performed. After the union

BEAUTIFUL MEERsCaAUMs.
The Correct Wsy Of Smoking and COL
oring Them.

The Correct Way Of Smoking and COL
Oring Them.
From the Chicago Post.
"Few men out of the large number that
possess them kno ~ how to handle a meer-
schaum during the very tender process OF
coloring and after that beautiful sherry or
mahogany shade appears to reward them
for their trouble" said the expert on pipes.
E''Of the greater number Of pipes that are
spoiled majority are ruined through gross
carelessness. A man will sit back in his
chair and smoke until the bowl Of his pipe
grows hot, and then lay it down on an un-
covered table, a marble mantel-piece or on
some object that is near, never thinking
whether its resting place is cool or damp.
"Woe be unto the pipe If 1t is. Meer-
schaum is one Of the most sensitive Of the
articles produced by Mother Earth. 1t is
equally sensitive to heat as cold, and a sud
den change from one to the other is sure to
affect it immeasurably.
Never, in handling your pipe, do any
thing to chip or crack the wax. Also avoid
smoking your pipe near the open window if
the weather is very damp, and above all
things have patience.
Using an upper story, or, as they are
known to the trade, a mansard roof, is a
great assistant and an almcs1 indispensable
one. The way TO use them is to fill the
bowl Of your pipe with tobacco and then at
tach the roof and smoke only the tobacco
in the latter
"Also when you handle it be careful to
grasp it by the amber stem, as the rough
ness of yodr hands will be very apt TO
scratch the bowl. After your trouble, and
when your pipe is colored to projection, you
are always afraid of hurting 1t, and about
its only use is as an ornament or an object
to be shown to your friends"

Won Moltke as a stratex,.s.

Az a skillful. untiring and farseetng
organizer of the means which make sue
cess in war Moltke has never had an
equal and probably can never have q
superior. The unequaled success Of the
efforts on his part and that Of his coad-
tutor. Won Room, to perfect the national
preparedness for war produced the re-
suit that while these two lasted Ger
many would find In no European power
an equal antagonist.
Still less did any power produce o
strategist who gave proof Of ranking as
Moltke's peer. Thus 1t is impossible to
gauge the full measure Of his potentiai-
ties. He may have had reserves Of
strategical genius which were never
evoked. It is impossible to determine
whether in the Franco German war he
put forth his full strength, or only 90
much Of it as was proportionate to the
requirements suggested by the known
inferiority of the adversary.-Archibald

How Slavery Was Abolished in the NORTH

How Slavery Was Abolished In the North
ern States.
New Hampshire abolished slavery by
the state constitution adopted in 1888
Vermont did the same in TIT. Massa-
chusetts in her constitution adopted in
1850 incorporated a clause which, as the
supreme court of that state held, abol-
Ehed slavery on her territory. Pennsyl-
vania passed gradual emancipation act
March l, 1850. By the terms of this act
all persons born in Pennsylvania there
after became free ut the age Of twenty
eight years. Rhode Island passed law
that all persons born in that state after
March, 1884, should be free. Connccti-
cut provided in the same year for grad
ual emancipation. New York did the
same in 1893, and in 1917 passed fur.
Their act decreeing that there should be-
no slavery in the state after July 4, 1924
This act freed 10000 slaves. In 1S4O
there were GA shares still held in New
Jersey and in 1850 there were 1885,
though gradual emancipation act was
passed there in 1904.

How an Eskimo Secures . Wife.

An Eskimo youth is qualified to marry
when he has succeeded in killing polar
bear unaided, for the courageous feat
proves him capable Of providing for the
wants of family. He starts forth at
night to secure wife, which he does by
Selling the first girl he can surprise una
wares. She naturally screams and
draws the whole village population
about her, who, by raining sealskin
scourges on his shoulders, aid the maiden
In escaping. He pursues, running the
gantlet Of kick and buffet, until he again
catches his lady love. And should she
once more escape and be retaken third
time by the amorous pursuer the maiden
accepts her fate and becomes the young
mans wife.-London Standard.

iHE GREAT BLUE RIBBON MEETING
or the Detroit Driving Club


viii be held as usual on the Park
Grounds of the club, in the city If
Detroit, July 18th, 10Th, 10th,
2Ist and 22nd. One of the
principal attractions of this most de-
servedly popular trotting and pacing
association is the Merchants and Manu-
facturers' Guaranteed Stake, $4,000,
for the 1924 class, trotting. Attractive
as it has been in the past, it will prove
still more so, at the ensuing Summer
meeting. Aside from the large number
of entries made, and the well-known
sagacity of the nominators, a new and
somewhat novel feature has been intro
duced which cannot fail to increase
the interest heretofore manifested in
this greatest OF all racing events.
The Main Stake, $4,000, is divided into
three moneys, $4,000 to first, s2,OOe to
second, and $1,000 to third horse. A
Consolation Stake of $4,000, divided,
$1,000 to first, $3.50 to second, and $3.50
to third. The former will be trotted
on Tuesday, and the latter on the Fri.
day following. The Consolation Stake
is open only to horses which start and fail
to win any part of Main Stake.
Should less than three horses remain
eligible to the Consolation Stake, that
event will be declared off, and horses
that finish fourth and fifth in the Main
Stake will receive respectively 81, 900
and $3.50, and the remaining money be-
longing to the Consolation Stake will be
divided pro-rata among the winners of
the first, second and third money in
the Main Stake. This new departure
has much to commend it to public
favor, and will be hailed as
pleasing innovation on estab-
lished usages. There is scarce
ly doubt but there will
be large field of starters in the
Consolation Stake, and that it will be rs
holly contested as the Main Stake
itself; so that the vast crowds, always
in attendance at Blue Ribbon Meet.
ing, will be treated to two magnificent
contests, for one of the greatest trot-
ting events of the season. The follow
ing is a list of the nominators: Dwyer
Bros. San Antonio, Tex; The Kitchum
Farm, Toledo, o.; John Dickerson,
Terre Haute, Ind; d. b. Anderson,
Franklin, o.; "Crit' Davis, Harrods-

ley, Dallas, Tex; Speedwell Farm,

1t will be observed that there are six
teen nominations for this stake, repre-
senting nine different states. 1t is al
most absolutely certain that there will
be sixteen starters. The field will be
large, and exceptionally good. 1t will
take "Seek-no-farther" to win this
race, and if all the conditions are favor
able on the day of the trot, the winner
will have to be well up to the "free for
all" mark

DIGNITY OF SEX.

L Chicago Hold Carrier Drew tho Limo ~
Being Put In Order BY q Woman.
One Of the hod carriers at work ON q
brick building out in the suburbs
climbed up to the first story Thursday.
Then he fell and the hod, the bricks and
the ladder fell on him. When the debris
had been pulled away the hod carrier
was lying face downward on the pave
ment stones senseless- There wasn't
drug store or doctor within half mile.
A bricklayer put on his coat and tore for
the nearest patrol box. Meantime the
hod carrier was lying there In pool OF
blood, apparently thinking about moth
ing in particular.
The boss was Tuning about, kicking
blocks Of wood into the street and
swearing at the laziness Of the policA.
The big plasterers who could drive .
spike with their fists were standing
around as helpless as children. At this
time young woman In blue coat came
across the street. She was pretty and
rosy, with lot Of yellow hair drawn up
tightly from her temples, and she had .
most decided look in her bright blue
eyes. She brushed the big fellows aside
and asked briskly, whats the trouble
here, menY
lone Of the boys has busted himself
wide open," said the boss politely.
"Let me see," said the pretty girl,
dropping on her knees beside the bod
carrier. She took off a dainty hid glove
and with her little white hand felt the
mans skull.
"No bones fractured here" she said.
looking up at the group around her.
Then she noticed the pool Of blood ly-
ing beside the mans right arm, and
whipping out a pair Of scissors she
ripped up the coat sleeve and the sleeve
of the flannel shirt.
"Goodness!" she said. IAN artery has
been cut. Give me piece Of Irvine,
quick"
The boss pulled apiece Of coarse string
from his coat pocket and handed It to
the girl. She drew It around the mans
arm, made loop knot, thrust pencil
into the loop and twisted 1t until the
cord sank deep into the flesh.
"You hold this" she said to the boss,
and the big man knelt down and grabbed
the hgature. Then she had some water
brought out. She washed the scalp
wound in jiffy. Then she cut among
the loose flesh with the scissors and with
plaster and strip Of linen from q bag
she carried she made a neat bandage.
Then she arose and viewed pretty job
Of emergency surgery with reasonable
cmplacency. The patrol wagon and
the hod carrier came around at the same
time. AS the wagon backed up the bod
carrier opened his eyes and saw the girl
in the blue cloak.
~Are you hurt, Mixer said the boss.

How the Sierra Indians Make Broad.
They make it of acorns. The shells
and inner skins are carefully peeled off
and the meats are ground up into pulp
between smooth stones. Large holes are
then dug in the ground to answer for
kettles and the pulp is put in. Water is
poured over it, after being heated to the
boiling point, until the whole mass is
about the consistency of cream. A squaw
stirs this up carefully with fir bough.
Swimming off any specks that may float.
The mass is then left standing till the
water is all absorbed by the earth. It
is then carefully removed, especial pains
being taken to separate it from the soil.
1t is then dried, and when needed for
use is mixed with water and baked be-
fore the fire in thin cakes

How to Polish Seash ellis.

If the shell is one that has certain
amount of natural polish, the best way
is to thoroughly cleanse it with hydro
chloric acid, which is to be rubbed on
with rag, 1t should then be carefully
washed in hot water and dried in hot
sawdust, after which channels skin and
"elbow grease" only are necessary. Ii
the surface is naturally dull, but smooth,
the shell may be either vanished or
rubbed with tripoli powder and turpen-
tine applied with wash leather. After
the first rubbing, rub with the powder
alone and then with olive oil, after which
channels and rubbing will produce q
polish. If, however, the outside stratum
of the shell is rough, and must be re-
moved before polishing, it is best for an
amateur not to undertake the work, for
the grinding of shells is dangerous as
well as difficult work and often results
in Gripping the hands.
