was In the latter half Of the twelfth

Norman English mercenaries to help
him in the recovery Of his kingdom.
From that time dated Ireland's evil

colors Of the earth, sea and sky, 1t is
quite possible, as some assert, that the
first Irish banner was blue-the color
Of the sky or the blue waters from
which the sun seems to rise or sink.
1t Is more likely, however. to have
been green, emblematic Of the Green
Isle, with sunburst added as the colors
of the illustrious people who subdued
the original tribes and raised the first
flag on Erin's soil, showing their

different kings and princes that after

other 'clung to the green flag down
through the centuries of wars and
tumult, leaving Erin's flag, If possible,
greener than ever.
During the first year Of the Chris
tian era the Irish flag was ornamented
with an ancient harp Of gold. And as
many Of the people remained uncon-
yerted to Christianity, half Of the sun
burst was blazoned on the flag. The
harp seems to have been heard for
the first time In Ireland during the
first year of the Christian era. It was
introduced by the famous Timotheus,
celebrated musician and poet, de-
scendant Of Timotheus Of Miletus
The people Of Ireland were thrown
into state Of such ecstacy by the
sweet strains Of the harp that they
resolved to use 1t on the flag. And
during the first Christian year, when
the Psalms Of David were being sung
with great pomp. tradition points to
the fact that the lost harp of King
David went to Ireland.
The harp became the music of all
classes. while the God of David was
generally accepted, and the Christians
soon outnumbered the Fire Worship
ers. who disappeared altogether after
two centuries. And 1t is hard for the
people Of the present time to be-
lieve that there were ever tribes Of
Fire Worshipers in the Emerald Isle.

been made that may or may not be i'm
portant according to the point of view.
They are at least worthy Of notice.
They concern what we eat. Diet is
the long suit of certain type of re-
formers. Diet Is an item of interest to
all of us, financially and otherwise.
AS a substitute for meat the house
hold magazines suggest various things.
In lieu of tine lordly turkey a concoc-

picks for the bill and other limitations
are proposed.
Dried apples soaked with water,
prunes and beans are also put forward
as filling. Marble dust for powdered
sugar and breakfast foods made of
anything from corncobs to chopped
hay are offered.
Then there Is the onion. Like Massa
chusetts, 1t needs no encomium. 1t
speaks for itself 1t has lately been
discovered that the onion. II taken in
sufficient quantities. will protect one
from almost anythlng-acquain

one should not only eat the onion, but

name of Galisch of Rothenfelde pro-
poses a simple course-to eat less. This
