OUR BIG COUNTRY.
A Season When the Sun Never Sets
on the Stars and Stripes.

A Season When the Sun Never Set.
on the Stars and Stripes.
There is only one flag that the sun
never sets on-the British. But the
American flag is a close second, fol-
the sun during half the year never sets
on it either. That is to say, these two
are the only flags that the sun is con.
tinuously shining over, no matter what
his position in the heavens-the one all
the year round and the other during
exactly half the year, from March % to
Sept %.
or course it Is true that on no day at
all during the year can the sun be seen
from any two points Of continental
United States at all times during a
period Of twenty-four hours. But the
United States naval observatory has
made careful calculations which by in
Guiding Alaska, Porto Rico and the
Philippines show that between the
spring and fall equinoxes the sun new.
er ceases to shine in the eyes of the
American eagle.
Perhaps nothing could make us real
lie how great nation our expanded
country is better than this simple as
Economical fact. Moreover, within
these two dates there are also several
other pairs of eastern and western ex-
IRENE points where the same condi-
ton obtains, though for much shorter
times. d.,
1t is not generally known, but the
easternmost point in the United States
and its island possessions is in the is-
land Of Porto Rico-longitude IS de
grees IL minutes west, latitude 1S de-
grees 20 minutes north. The western
most point is in Balobe island, in, the
Philippines-longitude 116 degrees 40
minutes east, latitude degrees {
minutes north. When the sun Is at
what the calendar makers call north

that is to say, on March % and on
Sept. PIT rises in Porto Rico at ex-
actly the same time that it sets in the
island Of Balobe. Between these two
dates during the winter months the
sun does set on the United States, and
during the remainder of the year, the
summer months, it does not.-Scrap

The Regulation Method Of Half Mast

ing the Coiors.
The method Of showing honor to the
dead through the position of the flag,
placing it at half mast-it is termed
in naval circles, in the army, at half
staff-is described in article Al, par
agraph 42S, Of the United States army
regulations as follows:
Where the flag is displayed at halt

finally lowered" n
eat military posts" said sergeant
Of the army recruiting station, where
the flag staff is planted in the ground
it is usually in two sections and about
eighty feet high. When the flag is
placed at half staff it is customary to
lower it to the middle Of the upper
section, which in this case is consider
ed the staff. At forts and other posts
where flags are on top Of buildings the
flag, when placed at half staff, is hang
ing from the middle Of the staff, the
central point Of the flag, the lower
corner Of star section coinciding with
a point midway between the top and
bottom Of the staff"
when flag is placed at half mast
in the navy" said lieutenant Of the
United States naval recruiting station,
"the distance between the top Of the
flag and the top of the mast is made to
equal approximately the distance be-
tween the bottom of the flag and the
base Of the mast."-Kansas City Times.

FROM THE PINE WOODS.
Hyomei's Aromatic Air Is Guaranteed
p. to Cure Catarrh.


When using the Hyomei treatment
for the cuer of catarrh, the air you
breathe is like that on the mountains
high above the sea level. where the
pine woods fill the air with aromatic
healing that gives health and strength
to those suffering from diseases of
the respiratory organs. The healing
balsams of IIyomei reach the most
remote air cells of the throat, nose
and lungs, destroying all catarrhal
germs and giving quick relief and
cure.

TAFT THE SAFE EXECUTIVE

AS the campaign progresses we find
OBJECTIONS from Bryan similar to those
OF 1896 and 1900: Newspapers and
business men, who have weighed the
merits OF the opposing candidates, Taft
and Bryan, are disposed to cast their
ballots for Mr.. Taft, believing him to
De safer, better equipped and saner than
Mr.. Bryan, and believing that his cleo
ton will be better for the industrial in
terests Of the country. This matter of
q presidential election is of vital inter-
Aest to the whole country, and the re-
suit will depend largely upon the man
u1er m which the two candidates are
Judged by the voters. The recent dec
aaration of Franklin McVeagh of Chi
saa9o, that he believes Taft will be a
Sound, safe and epoch-naking presi-
dent of the United States, is of weight
and influence, for Mr. McVeagh is and
has been Democrat, He states It is
his belief that Mr.. Taft will carry for
ward the policies of the Republican
party and Of President Roosevelt, and
that he is better equipped for the office
of president than Mr.. Bryan, and that
his election will mean more for the in
dustrial progress of the whole country.
And this is becoming the conclusion OF
thoughtful men through the country
who do not permit extreme partisan
slip to bias their views Of the coming
presidential choice.

The Gaelic LANGUAGE.

The old Gaelic language was spoken
by all the branches of the great Celtic
race, for, while a dialect of, the Celtic
language, it was so like the other
Celtic dialects that no Celt would find
difficulty in speaking it. Specifically,
it was the speech Of the Manxmen,
Welsh, Scotch highlanders, Cornish
men, Bretons and many Of the Irish.
It is still spoken in some parts of Ire

Improving Washington Barracks
Park

The work of grading the southern por-
ton of the Washington Barracks Park. in
the vicinity of the new Army War College
building, is progressing rapidly and be-
fore the end of summer it is expected the
park will be covered with a carpet of
green grass. Much of the beauty of the
southern end of the park was destroyed
when dozens of old naples and other fine
shade trees which had covered the lawn
for possibly three-quarterS of 4 century,
were cut down. leaving a wide-open space
without shade tree for about a third the
total length of the park along the harbor.
