A new Old Glory is proposed in q
bill recently introduced by Representa-
tive Ansberry, of Ohio, to amend the
section of the Revised Statutes which
regulates to the design of the Ameri-
can flag, says the New YorkAmerican.
A new formation of the stars is sug-
gested. They would be arranged in
five arcs in combination, the centers of
the arcs to be the apices of regular
pentagon, the radius of the arcs to be
equal to one side of the pentagon. AS
to the size of the stars the bill pre-
scribes that their radius shall be equal
to 'one- fourth the distance of the stars
from center to center. Provision for
adding new stars for new states might
be made by extending the ares.

The trustees of the Soldiers Home
at Beauvoir have come to the conclu-
sion that they will need 5000 more
money during the current year than
they have at command from the state

1t is explained that there are now 1877
inmates Of the home, and that while
there is room for dozen more, there
are not sufficient funds to support
those on hand, and no new applicants
can be admitted. Thirty odd applica.
