OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES 1VlWV
ANOON~0~

Dear me, Ezra!" said good Aunt
Hannah, 81 do wish something would
happen Land o. liberty! get so aw-
full tired of this monotOnOus life-not

ought to be ashamed to complain, and l
am! But | do wish something would
happen right here In front Of our house
Something to look att"
Aunt Hannah, good soul, little
dreamed that before three hours had
passed something would happen.
The one great event In her monoto-
nous life was the daily passing Of
the overland passenger trains which
brought their eager tourists to Califor-
MIA or carried home returning wander
ers back toward the rising sun.
In Aunt Hannah's daily life this sim
pie passing Of the trains grew to be an
event Of Importance. She could catch
tantalizing gllmpses Of women's fair
faces and the laughing eyes of little
children as the Overland flashed by,
not three rods from her own front door
Sometimes she waved a snowy dish
towel at them as they rushed past, and
looked wistfully after them till the
long cut hid the curving train.
But on this particular day Aunt
IIannah's heart almost stood still in
her ample bosom. For the Overland
came into sight. running more and more
slowly, and finally coming to a labor
ing, clanking stop almost at her very
door
Such thing had never happened be-
fore, and Aunt Hannah was filed with
wordless excitement. Something had
ring around near the house, keeping a
watchful eye upon old DObbin, the
white horse, which was patiently walk
ing never-ending miles in the treadmill
which pumped water for the house and
garden and the nelghbOring orchard Of
young orange trees.
Aunt Hannah speedily informed him
Of the great event, and Uncle Ezra as
wonder-filed as she. walked down to
the railroad track to see what might
be wrong.
Aunt Hannah, from the porch, heard
him say Hospitality to the conductor !:
"Why, yes, we've got a telephone. Come
right I'm an use It,"
And in few moments that won

-buttoned conductor OF the Over
land was standing on Aunt Hannah's
bright rag carpet and talking In crisp.
curt, mastery tones to some unseen de-
linquent at the city ten miles behind.
1t appeared that some one had blum
dered.
The passengers swarmed out Of the
cars and wandered aimlessly along the
track. Then the women and children
began to stray into Aunt Hannah's
front yard, looking with genuine tour
list curiosity at every little common
place thing that met their eager gaze.
For this was n trainload OF brand-new
tenderfeet from the far East, most of
whom were stepping upon California
soil for the first time in their lives.
Aunt Hannah was radiant and over
flowing with hospitality Before ten
minutes had passed she had discovered

The admission of Oklahoma into the
Union has neccssitated the rearrange-
ment of the stars on the flag to admit
the symbol Of the new State, and It
has been big task to rearrange the
stars on all the military flags of the
country.
Various ideas have been advanced for
the simplification of the field of stars
on Old Glory The difficulty in adding
new stars is that the rows are neces-
sarlly made up Of uneven numbers, and

CHANGING the STARS onQLD GLORY

! cials intrusted with the work of re-
arranging the flag, but it has not been
thought expedient to adopt the idea
without appeal to Congress and through
Congress to the nation, for it is felt
that such an important matter as the re-
designing Of Old Glory is a matter Of
full national consideration.
Far-seeing citizens have pointed out
that In time the addition of new States
and the unavoidable division of single
States into double or treble common
wealths will so crowd the field of stars
as at present arranged that it will look
inartistic and unsatisfactory. The
greater the number Of stars the smaller
will be the symbols, for the compara-
tive size Of the field cannot be changed
without spelling the flag and destroy
ing the appearance Of the finest banner
on earth or sea. This problem is being
discussed by patriotic persons who take
an interest in national matters, and a
number Of designs are on file at the
war office that aim to provide an ar
tistlc and striking arrangement Of stars
that like that suggested by the circular
array, will permit of the addition of a
great number of consultations without
making the flag look at little distance
| like striped banner with a jack of
pure white, as would be the case were

lieves some of the itching and dis
comfort, and aids in keeping the skin
clean, but it does not reach the real
cause, and at best can be only palli-
