impressive. Eternity alone can measure
the influence for good citizenship which
these flags given by the W. r. c. will
make.
Among the resolutions passed was one
asking that the silent salute, now given
by waving handkerchief and called the
Chautauqua salute, be given by small
silk flags and be called the Betsy Ross
salute. ::
