THE JEWISH FLAG.
Cnfuried In Chicago for tho First Time. IL IL
said. since the Fall OF soiomon's Temple.


From the Chicago Record.
Tho Hobrow national flag was dedicated Sun
day night in the presence of tho rabbinical
fraternity of Chicago at leasing clubhouse. The
jewish emblem was furnished by the Uniformed
Rank, Lodge AZ, Independent Western Star Or
der, and was accepted for the Jews by the Rev.
DIR. A. r. Levy. This. it is said, is the first
society in the United States or Europe that has
adopted a flag to represent their nation.
Since tho fall OF King Solomon's emplet the
jewish flag has not been carried. and II was for
gotten. In connection with the dedication Of
the flag was tho installation of officers of the
order, which Is composed OF west side Jows.
The official adoption Of tho flag was attended
with ceremony. Tho uniformed rank entered
from the vostibule into the hall with the Ameri-
can flag unfurlsd. The Hebrew national flag was
carried beside II, but concealed. All that could
on top OF tho stan with It's wings outspread.
Following the hag.bearers came the rabbits and
the grand officers OF tho lodge. After the officers
were installed the members fell back and sur.
rendered tho hall for the dedication OF the flag.
TWO altar boys unrolled the cover and two
others carefully unfurled the banner. This was
n signal for cheers and applause. AS the flag
was being unfurled. flower girls, one represent
Ing Miss Chicago and the other the Jewish peo'

King David. stands out on a field OF white.
The Rey. DIR. A. II. Levy accepted the flag
from the altar boys, and, after giving a history

matte writers of that time. She Is to-day the
oldest actress of the Ancrican stage, and. al

which England sent us nearly all of our nctors.
long residence here has given her the right to be
included among the people OF our own theatre.
As thild She was phcnomcnally successful as
an infant phenomenon in England. but from her
early Eirlhood the whole Of Clara Fishers career
was a part of the history of the American stage.
Eight years ngo Mrs. Macdcr retired finally
from the stage, and since that time she has lived
In the home of'onc of her daughters in the upper
part of the city. Her stage life was most con-
Epicuous during the second quarter OF the cen
tury, and most OF tho persons who have seen
her during recent years will remember her. most
probably. in some Of the old woman parts she
has played so long. 1t was at a time very re-
mote from the present history OF our stage that
she was in her prime. Just at the age OF II she
ptted IN this country. 1t was ut 1S that she
finally retired, with the decision never to be
again tempted ont of the seclusion that she had
chosen for herself.
On the first day Of September, 1927, Mrs. Mac
dCr-then Clara Fishcr-landed in New York,

'Old and Young" Che acted last in Baltimore

written her autobiography. and the Dunlap So
ii, ty. which has done much for the pron,ulga-
tion OF literature about tho stage. has published
it with an interesting introduction by Douglas
Taylor.
Mrs. Macdcr was on the stage from 1917 to
1889. n Period of sevcnty-two years. She was
the youngest of six children and was born on
July II. 1911. in London. Her father. Fred

ENGLISH AS SHE IS WRIT.

The classified ads" of Chicago morning
paper recently contained the following, says
the Times Herald:
Wanted A secondhand woman's -
bicycle, 1895 make"
On the same day State-street house adver-
tised 5000 damaged ladies' cloth capes at DC
each.'
Was the secondhand woman of the morning
paper anything like the damaged ladies OF the
State-street store? If not, why not? They
would seem to belong to the ''same family"
as the masquerading nephew in 'Olivette"
wou say.
A Michigan-avenue advertiser several weeks
ago announced that he had 1.-TWO imported
ladies' handsome Easter jackets cheap" Are
these imported ladies'" of the sort that rule
our kitchens nowadays?
One of the drv-goods houses few days ago

ladies' dress skirts" and $50 plaid ladies'
dress skirts" We're those figured, checked
and plaid ladies similar to the "tattooed
ladies" so frequently found in the dime NJ u
seums few years ago
One OF the department stores recently ad.
yertised ''all wool boys sweaters" 'japanned
infants bathtubs," and solid oak chnd's

need sweater, and possibly japanned in
flesh and blood one. But, seriously, 'ssolid
oak child" must be tough II a bow he is
very apt to be a blockhead as WELL and If a
girl, she would scarcely expect to have a
wlllowy form on growing up to woman's
estate.
Another dry-goods house advertised "5-cent
ladies' extra quality balbriggan sleeveless
vests" Well, "5-cent ladies" are Just the
ones who would wear vests" The word
vest" when applied to mans garment is
"pants," but applied to woman's garment it
is still more vulgar.

WEATHER BUREAU-W H, City. The weather
bureau was first suggested by Josiah Melgs,
commissioner of the Land once IN 1oI|' ana
he established system of meteorologlcal reg
listers in connection with his office. In 1918
co-oprrative movement was begun by surgeon
Lovel OF the United States army, VINO hao
weather reports made each month by the
officers OF different military posts. About
twenty years later the lake system OF meteor-
ologicaI observations was established Dy the
Engineer Department In 1886 predictions OF
meteorol ogical phenomena began TO De maue
by the Smithsonian Institution, and the re-
suit of these together with those OF the Lana
Office and the War Department formed the
basis for d scien tfic meteorological bureau.
In 1870 Congress made an Appropriation Tor
the establishment of weather bureau at
Washington d. c., and ordered arrangements
to be made for telegraphle comm munlcatlons
between posts of observation all over the
country Until 1891 The bureau was in charge
of the War Department.; in that year 1t was
transferred to the Department OF Agriculture.
