molds and devise machinery, where
by a full sized house can be cast in
twelve hours after the molds are In

iron molds are removed and the
house will be complete, including
stairs, partitions, mantels, bath, etc
and after drying six days will prob.
ably be ready for occupancy. To

Several Plans For the Re-
arrangement of the Flag
Bsing Considered.

Washington, Feb.-The iorty.sixth
star, SIGNALLING the admission OF the
state OF Oklahoma, soon will be add.
cd to the United States flag. The
general staff Of the army adopted an
amendment to the army regulation
authorizing the quartermaster gen.
eral to provide another star. This
will necessitate an entire rearrAnge
ment OF she field on the flag and the
Navy department will supply the new
plan.
The law provides shat authority
to add stars TO the flag shall come
from the War department. and thas
the Navy department, owing 80 the
fact shat our war ships carry she
flag to foreign countries, shall say
where the new stars shall be placed.
Several plans FOR rearranging the
field heve been submitted to the
Navy department, none OF which
formally has been adopted. As soon
as the Navy department. takes action
every United States flag used by tbt
government will be withdrawn and
the new flags substituted. This
means that hundreds OF new flsg-
will appear In addition TO the flags
Of the army and navy. Under al
act Of Congress the stars and stripe.
must be raised over every building
used by the federal government.
