USE OF U, S, FLAG
Want British Emblem in
More Conspicuous Place
When Ours Is Flown.

Ottawa, March An echo of the
recent annexation talk was heard in
the house when resolution was Of
member for London, Ontario, declar-
ing that regulations should be issued
providing that wherever a foreign flag
is displayed. except by the representa-
tive of foreign government, IA Brit
ish flag shall be displayed in a more
prominent position.
Major Beattie declared that too
Canada by summer residents from
across the line and by tourists in au-
tomobiles. who whirled through the
country with their cars decorated with
the Stars and Stripes, but without a
British flag being anywhere displayed.
This. he said. irritated many Cana
dams, who thought such visitors
should either abstain from Haunting
the American flag before the people of
Canada or else should give the flag
of the Dominion equal prominence.
DIR. Pugsley, minister of public
works. declared that the British en-
sign should be more freely displa yed
II the Dominion. and he agreed that
the frequent display of foreign flags
was not agreeable to the people. How
ever. he thought that resolution
such as was proposed would not pro-
vide a remedy. There would have to
be a change in the criminal law to
meet the case.
Mr.. Fielding, finance minister, said
that for Canada. there was only one
flag and that was the British emblem.
However. flag incidents were trouble
some things. and. in his opinion, the
Government should have time to con-
slider the flag regulations of other ma.
tions before Pertinent committed the
country TO any line of action.
DIR. Edwards. of Frontenac, declared
that many American summer resi-
dents in Central Ontario. insisted up
on displaying the Stars and Stripes at
their camps and declined to fly the
British emblem. This attitude. he
characterized as rightly dstasteful TO
Canadians. who had no objection to
the American flag but resented any
implied discourtesy to the flag of this
country.
DIR. Clark. Liberal member from Al

citizens. "They assimilate easily" he
continued. but they won't be so will.

Mr.. Fielding suggested that the res

order to give the government an op.
portunity to investigate Capt. Wal.
lace. of York. Ontario. and several
other Conservative members objected
to this.
T.. NJ. Mcdonald. Liberal, affirmed
his belief that the British flag alone
should be recognized in Canada. and
that the Government should have time
TO look into the question before a
change is made in the law. He moved
the adjournment of the debate. This
motion was supported by the Liberals

LITTLE DUTIES.

Il If you are ever tempted to feel
5discontented because your work in
fife seems Of very little importance.
remember that on little things well
done many a greater work depends
for usefulness. The man who
builds a lighthouse does a great
work. but it would be Of very little
use if The men who keep the lamp
burning neglected their duty.

Firer she screamed.
In few minutes the whole town
was aroused, the village hose reel
rolled up to the door, hooked on to
hydrant and soon flooded the Billinger
cellar. In the meantime, Mr. Billinger
came running home, as a neighbor
had told him his house was afre.
"Why, what on earth is the matter
here?' he asked. as he burst in the
front hall and saw number of fire
men coming from the kitchen on their
way from the cellar When it was
all explained, he thought of the coal
saver! But he never said word.
Several days later, however, one of
his neighbors happened to tell him
of the Smudge Company's agent try
ing to sell him coal saver.

Mr.. Billinger, and he promised the
visitor to think it over and let him

"Ill tell you what I'll do said the
salesman: 81 am anxious to get back
to the factory tonight, and | will
say this: there is going to be a raise
in the price of this patent to 500

your chances and let me have the
money tonight, I'll make you big
discount-twenty per cent. That is
very liberal offer, and in two days we
shall be getting two and half times

81 guess you must know your bust

the first. Here is the cash. and l hope
you'll drop in on us some time soon
and see if we have put it on right"
With that he handed over $40, took
no receipt, the little tin contraption
being his receipt the man said. And"
the latter added you can call us UP
any time by getting our number from
the telephone book.
A few days after that the coal man
delivered four tons of soft coal, and
Mrs. Billinger had gone off to a whist
club for the afternoon. Mr.. Billinger
having the coal. made up his mind to
surprise Mrs. Billinger on her return
to dinner that evening, so he had come
home early, filled the furnace with
soft coal. took off the lower joint of
the pipe from the rear of the furnace.

all the drafts, then went over to the
Jenkenses to tell Mr.. Jenkens of his

In the meantime, Mrs. Billinger
came home and found the house full
of smoke, all of her table linen COW

almost ruined with it! Not being into

kitchen she found it dense with black
