Flag Day.

Tuesday, june "a, is Flag Day, marking
the one hundred and thirty third ami
versary Of the adoption of the Stars and
Stripes as the national emblem.
In the city Of Baltimore IA, 900 small
flags are to be distributed to school chill
dren under direction Of Department Of
Nd, 6. A. r.; the Woman s Relief Corps
and tie Army and Navy Union.
George Candy, in his introduction to
the "Evolntion of the American Flag
says: "At the beginning of the twentieth
century with our beautiful Emblem Of
Liberty so conspicuous on every hand,
known everywhere. in every land, on
every sea, it is indeed hard to realize that
only little more than hundred years
ago, as colonists of the British Empire,
our forefathers were living under the
Royal Flag Of England.
Even with this idea in our minds. it
seems now almost incomprehensible that
those of our forefathers who had the shap-
ing of our destiuies in their hands, that
noble baud or patriots, including the
great Washington himself, should have
ieft as no records which tell us precisely
how cur flag came into existence. To
this day the great majority Of the Ameri-
can people are in ignorance of the real
facts connected with its history.
1T is therefore matter of great inter.
est to find that after most careful aud
exhaustive research, running through a
course Of many years, and thorough,
study of the whole subject, all that is
known certainly of the development Of
the Flag of the United States, popularity
aud quite appropriately known as the
Stars and Stripes, may be said to consist,
Ia the only light so far revealed to us,
of just three incidents, quite distant, yei
closely correlated :two '.of record and
one the central and most important, a
consistent and we'll sustained family
tradition. There happenings occurred
in the following chronological order:
!. On January Ist, I776. the display
BY Washington, over his camp at Cam
bridge, Of the great union. or Continental,
Flag Of the United Colonies.
2. On or about June Ist, 1916. the
making by Betsy Ross, " in Philadelphia,
under the direction of General Washing
ton. of flag consisting of thirteen five.
pointed white stars on blue field.
5. On june 18th, r777. the passage by
Congress- Of a resolution adopting the
Nag above described as the Flag of the
United States"

Treasury officials figure out that if all
the money in circulation in the United
States were divided equally, every man,
woman and child would have $34.5o. But
the fact is that the percentage of those

the $3,4ro, 382,284 in the country being
piled up in immense fortunes in the con.
troll Of very small number of men.

 Joe Dillon wandered in.

 "Wait a minute, Durkin. Got a story for us, Joey' queried Brand sym pathetically.
 Dillon staggered forward.
 "Better sit down." cautioned Brand. Same old story, eh?''
 "No. I'm hungry"
 ''Durkin, go get one hot roast beef sandwich and a big pot of black cof- fee and see that he gets them."
 sYes, sir'' The lad sped away after dexterously catching a quarter which Brand tossed him.
 .'I wish was going in there to work with the boys instead of eating char ity grub,'' began Dillon plaintively. ''I know you mean all right, Mir. Brand.

Hartley, Jeff Thorne, staff reporters, and Bill. their much browbeaten un- derstudy, were industriously at work. At one side of the office diagonally from the managing editors desk was a high mahogany desk which backed against wooden partition which cut off small room used as a .'morgue," ," the place where newspaper and maga- zine clippings are kept for reference. Through the partition round hole about five inches in diameter had been cut with handsaW, and on table in the morgue q camera had been rested with the telescopic protuberance con taining the lens projecting through the hole in the partition into private mail box directly above the desk. The door of this box, into which were placed letters arriving for the manag ing editor during his absence, had been unlocked A line of shoe thread had been fastened to the door of the box and extended down behind the desk to the floor and across to the left hand side of Brands desk. A slight tug on the thread would cause
  posing to the lens Brands desk, his chair and another chair which had been placed at the right of the desk next to the telephone.
 For several minutes the mysterious preparations went on. Just what they meant no one but Brand could tell, and he was strangely silent, except as to directing what should be done.
 Hartley was anxious to make cer- tain that the lens aimed directly at Brands desk He measured the line with his eye.
 "Get it?'' called Jeff.
 ssNo, not yet Wait minute" How ard answered, lodging around quickly toward the little ..morgue. T haven't got the focus right yet Hold onv'
 Jeff lighted match, held it up and stood between the two chairs.
 Flows that?'' he cried.
 The answering voice came back.
 ''Yes; that's the very thing. It's all right now.'
 Brand stepped forward from a cor ner of the room from whence he had been watching the final preparations for the strange event that was to occur. Are you all set now, boys?" he asked. "Is your camera in the right place for the fashlight?"
 s'Yes, sir'' cried Jeff and Howard si- multaneously.
 "The fashlight is planted here, sir, said Howard, pointing to narrow pan in shadowed spot on top of the ma hogany desk and close to the lens.
 t'Have you tested this?" asked Brand. s'Yes, sir.''
 "Be careful. sir, or you'll explode the f1ash,'' warned Jeff as Brand light ed match to ascertain the location of the powder.
 "Go into room 4, boys, and wait till I send for you,' directed Brand.
 Jeff and Howard went out. Brand went to his desk as the office boy, Durkin, entered.

 ''Sure!" The boy grinned.
