feeling existing between the different
brotherhoods is said to be harmonious
1t Is known that there Is 4 disposition
among some of them not favorable to
the admission of members who took
part in the late strike on the Lehigh

THE FLAG OF OUR UNION.
A Chart Which Tells OF Every Change in
Our National Emblem.

OuT NatlOHui Ltnblctu.
From the New York World
Few Americans could tell Of the
origin and the evolution of the flag
they all vencrate. T.. A. Housman, Of
Danbury, Conn, has however epitom-
lied the results OF his long researches
In the history of our flag i'm chart,
which he has called the United States
school flag map. This Is intended 10
teach to our school children, in the
easiest and most effective manner the
progress Of the "Star-Spangled Ban
nor" from the original flag of thirteen
stars and thirteen stripes to our pres
cnt one with forty-four stars. The
chart contains pictures of twenty-threc
varieties of the national emblem, and
their accuracy is attested by the au-
thorlties at Washington. Between
these pictures are interesting bits Of
information In regard to their history,
among which is this explanation of the
colors: Red is supposed to represen.
courage: white. integrity of purpos,.
and blue, steadfastness, love and
faith
The first star-spangled banner, Mr..
Houstman shows, consisted Of thirteen
stripes and thirteen stars, the latter
ranged In a circle. That was adopted
b. congress in 1777, from a model made
by Mrs. John Ross, of philadelphia,
who was appointed to the post Of flag
maker to the government. But the ad-
mission Of Vermont and Kentucky to
the Union led to a change, consisting of
the addition of two stars and two
stripes. and for convenience the stars
were arranged In parallel rows. This
was the flag carried during the war Of
1912.
The rapid admission of states, how
ever, neccssitated change in the pro-
posed plan OF adding a star ard stripe
for each new possession, and In 1918,
when twenty states composed the
Union, II was agreed to reduce the
number of stripes to thirteen, In honor
Of the original federation, and to ar
range the twenty stars In the shape of a
great star. That was changed, how
ever, because 1t was found that the
addition of stars upset the plan Of the
big star, and the arrangement In paral-
lei rows was again adopted.
Looking down the rows of flags on
the chart, you see at glance the rapid
multiplication of the stars in the fcd-
eral constellation. In 1S45, for instance.
there were twenty-seven white stars
on the blue field Of our fiag-and It Ia
interesting to note, by the way that
the different changes that have been
made in the flag have always been
made on July 4. There We're three
changes In the flag made during the
var Of the rebellion. The admission
VI Kansas in 1861, West Virginia in
1863, and Nevada in 1864 were respons!-
BILE for these changes. The last change
wa. made in 1891. when the admission
OF Idaho and Wyoming brought the
number of stars up to forty-four.

THE WORLD OF BUSINESS
STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 29.-An advance In
sterling exchange today started q
fresh selling movement in stocks In the
first hour of business. The strength OF
exchange, of course. revived the talk
about exports of gold. but leading
bankers are of opinion that shipments
were not likely this week at least. The
greatest pressure during the early part
of the day was directed against the In
dustr.als ard Reading. The last
named fell from IT'S to 15B. rallied to
16k, and dropped to and closed at 14;s.
RumOrs We're current that assessment
ON the stock under the proposed plan
OF reorganization will certainly be so
and may reach $50. while the income
bonnholders will have to pay SO. The
stock was unusually active and figured
for 10000 shares in a grand total OF 277.-
600 shares. The general market closed
weak and y to 3A per cent. lower on
the day.

Two American Girls Fail in nm Attempt

Two American girls have Just re-

ence was not desired as students of
dental surgery in Berlin. They are the
Misses Feder, two San Francisco girls,
who journeyed across land and sea to
Berlin only to find that the rumors
Of German progress, which they had
heard, were baseless.
They are both graduates of the State
University at Berkeley. and they are
clever girls. These facts, however did
not move the stern German professors
and regents who were called upon to
decide their case. They are looked
upon In Berlin as specimens of tho
new woman" In her most aggressive
form. but distasteful as this. view Is
to them. they are not going to turn and
flee. They have applied to the English
and American ministers for aid, and
will make another earnest effort to
gain admission.

and as her own property, and free
from liability fer her husbands
debts.
This act of 1889 was the first law
on the subject passed by any State
OF the Union, and IL is said that 1t
Twas passed mainly.through the exer-
tions and influence of a Mississippi
womon-Mrs. L. B. J. Hpdley, Of
jackson.
In 1916 an additional act secured
to her the profits of her lands, and in
1851 she was empowered to contract
for family supplies and n.cessarcs,
for the education Of hsr children, for
carriage and horses, for buildings on
her lands and material for the same,
and for all work or labor done. for the
benefit Of her separate property, her
estate being held liable for all such
contracts.
In 1871 the law was made more
explicit ia securing to the married
woman the fruits Of her industry and
she was authorized TO engage in trade
individually or to enter into any en-
ployment requiring time, labor and
skill. the proceeds Of the same being
secure to her as her own.
In 1880 the married woman was
placed upon exactly the same pro-
perry footing as the man, and by thu
constitution Of 1860 the Legislature
was forbidden TO make any distinc.
tion between husband and wife in the
power to contract in regard to pro-
perty.
The code Of 1892 has re.enacted
the laws in force IN the code Of 1880.

PROGRESS. OF EDUCATION.

Progress ! progress Ia the watch
word Of the day, and he who lags to
groan and complain ut the hesh-long
speed OF mankind, only stands in the
way Of advancement. While ma
chinery, electricity and, improved
implements have grasped the indus
tries and are hurling them on to per-
feciion. man. cognizing education
as the cornerstone ut all, has I'M
proved and developed its principles
until to-day it envelopes within its
mantle the entire world. Educ alton
adds to the happiness Of mankind.
1t is the strongest pillar of our gov
ernment.
Whe" the Mississippi territory
was created in 1903. one of the first
acts "f the citizens Of Natchez was
to petition Congress for the establish
ment OF schools; and since then is
sissippi has step by step attained a
nosltion equal to any in the Union
for her practical, sci entifc educa-
tional advantages.
Comparing the educational condi
ti0ns and interests OF to-day with
those of ten years ago, we marvel at
The rapidiiy with which cur country
has been drawn into the whirlpool Of
advancement. Three years ago many
teachers were compelled to hunt
about for and payment for the houses
in which they taught and often the
accommodations were so uncomf0It-
able that teaching was q trial Instead
OF q pleasure. Good school houses
are n1w being erected'in ev nv school
district and although these buildings
are not as commodious nor furnish I'll
AS one would like them, yet they are
great improvement upoa the past
and We are looting forward TO better
provision in the future. Hancock

narlrs and colleges, hut. the growth
of onr public schools has been CON
stant, regular and healthy. Their
work has been so thorough and ,prac-
i'cal as 10 win public favcr. We
have adopted the improved me
thods and we trust soon TO stand
IN the front tanks. Education and
religion are lbe main supports Of
good government and good society
and yet there areparents who to-day
IN this progressive age are ignoring

coantry for a'good common school
education, and are allowing their
