place eight each in the first, third and
fifth rows and seven stars each In the
second, fourth and sixth rows.
Each state, however, as admitted to
the Union, must await the fourth day OF
the next July following its admission in
order to be represented by a star In the
national flag. This is the result Of the
law enacted by Congress April 4. 1878
| new state into the Union one star
! shall be added to the union of the nag
and such addition shall take effect on
| the fourth day, Of July then next succeed
Ing such admission
| With Oklahoma's growth to statehood
came another change for the flag. A
joint board of army and navy officers
was selected to make this change. They
tried many designs, but finally selected
the first, third, fourth and sixth rows to
contain eight stars each and the second
and fifth to contain seven each, thus pro-
viding for the admission of two new
states without destroying the symmetry of
the union. When New Mexico and Ari-
iona were admitted the forty-eight stars
We're arranged into rows containing an
equal number in each.
Uncle Sans regulation size for stormy
weather flags on land and national en-
signs at sea is four and half feet by
eight feet, while the storm flag at sea is
still smaller. This is done to guard
against the destroying effects Of the high
WINDS. The usual army standard is nine
by fourteen feet. Some of these flags
are made at the sail loft Of the Brooklyn
navy yard. but most of them are supplied
by contract.
Altogether there are over 100000 ma
t1onal flags made in the United States
each year, from the great ten by sixteen
root emblems to the little two by three
foot souvenirs. And, like any other ar
ticle of general use, they seem also to
have their seasons Of greatest demand.
December and January the manufacture
Ing concerns are often taxed to the limit.
while in April, May and June the sales
merchants fill their Golfers. Usually 1t
is the flag that measures six by ten feet
that receives the greatest demand.
1t requires skilled hands to make an
American flag. Like the painstaking
Betsy Ross, her daughters. the girls and
women that work in the numerous flag

* y. -.
The first step in the construction of a
flag is the cutting of the bunting OF each
color of red and white into strips. the
width of which depends on the size of
the flag. This is done by machinery.
When these strips are completed they are
basted together by girls and afterward
stitched on machines by women.
The construction Of the union comes

next, but the stars are placed on it be-
fore it is stitched to the flag. This is the
most important part of flag construction.
To conform to regulations star must
be one-half the width of a stripe Of the
flag on which 1t is to be placed. More
over, they must be exact. 1t Is about
one Of the hardest things to do to cut
a f1ve-pointed star to a correct shape. No
hand can become so skillful as to turn
them out exact at profitable rate. hence
stamping machines are used for this pur-
pose
The muslin out Of which the stars are
made is usually folded into forty-five or
fifty layers. The proper sized die Is then
placed in the machine, and when 1t is In
operation they fall out at the rate OF 1900
an hour as clean cut as though done
with a razor.
The arrangement and placing Of the
stars on the union is done by girls. These
positions also must be accurate; each star
must not vary by one-sixteenth OF an inch
from its proper point. First the union Is
measured and divided and each center 10
Gated by a point Then the stars center
is placed over this point. The locating
and placing is repeated on the other side
of the union with q second set of stars
and all are basted. When the entire field
Is ready the stars on both sides are stitch
ed together and to the field by machines.
With the completion Of the union it is
sewed In its place on the flag and placing
the canvas at the hoist end completes the
construction.
Something like 5000 bunting flags OF
all sizes can be turned out in the United
States in a single day SO great are the
facilities at present and so great has this
industry grown, but the beautiful silk
banners require much more careful proc
ess and are therefore much slower in
production. Each Of the stars placed on
such flags are embroidered by machines.
The little silk flags used as favors or
souvenirs and the little cotton flags that
vary from two inches by three inches to
FIVE inches by seven inches in size, gen.
orally last only for one occasion. Their
production. therefore. must meet an enor-
nous demand. 1t is rated at about 1900
flags day.
1t has become prevailing idea that
Congress once enacted q law prohibiting
the use Of the national emblem for ad-
vertising purposes. The question was very
greatly agitated a few years ago by the
various patriotic societies. but Congress
failed to pass such legislation. Consider
ing the number Of industries in the Unit
ed States the very little use Of the Ameri-
can flag for advertising purposes seems
to indicate that there is a strong public
sentiment of reverence for Old Glory.

THE HIGH LINE CANAL
BONDS GOOD AS GOLD

That the bonds of the Kittitas
reclamation district will sell easily
whenever the sale of any securities is
possible, is evidenced by the letter
from Peabody, Houghteling & Com
pany to Secretary c. w. Johnsone to-
day. In the letter to Mr.. Johnsone,
the bond company explains in detail
the condition of the market for Sc
curities. stating that at the present
time they cannot take up any new
issues.
They say. however, that they be-
lieve our bonds to be first-class Sc
curities in every way and that I'M
doubtedly the obligation would be
met without default of any kind.
The letter also compliments the dis
trict on the completeness of the plans
and specifications of the canal. No
fault is found with the security back
of the bonds, the reason assigned for
the cOmpany's not buying the securi
ties at present being the poor condi-
tion of the market.
Parts of the letter bearing on the
sale of the bonds follow:

Dear Sir:
Referring to the last interview
which We had with you on the sub
ject of the bonds of this district. we
desire to confirm what we told you
at that time. namely, that We cannot
see our way clear to purchase these
bonds at the present time. 1t is only
fair to say that our decision is not
due to any belief on our part that the
project is unsound, or that the secur-
ity is unsound. On the contrary.
after most thorough and painstak
that the Kitttas Reclamation Dis
trict is a most unusual security, that
it's bonds are we'll protected and that
the principal and interest of these
bonds will be paid promptly when
due. This statement is, Of course,
based on the assumption that the
engineering and construction costs
will be properly checked and the
completion of the project properly
safeguarded, matters which we our
selves would have seen to had we de-
cided to proceed with the matter

The regular use of the toothbrush is
necessary not only to remove the acid
incrustations that eat holes In the
teeth, but also to sweep away the
germs Of many terrible diseases. These
find the necks Of the teeth an ideal
nesting place. They multiply a million
fold in a few hours unless washed
away; then they 60 down the throat
enter the lungs, the stomach, the eusta

the nose. There they cause consump'

chitis, tonsilitis-in fact, 1t would be
difficult to say with certainty what dis
eases may not arise from the germs
that have grown upon the teeth. 1t Is

many cases of appendicitis have this
as their origin. Hence there Is nc

Petitions to the Gear.

In Russia there is a court Of pei-
tons through which appeals are ad-
dressed to the emperor. The court
was originally founded in the reign of
Ivan Nv. in the sixteenth century.
When Catherine the Great ascended
the throne she intended to receive all
appeals personally, but the task soon
passed beyond her powers. The Gear
Paul as a young man tried to initiate
GATHERINGS example, and he had
large yellow iron box attached to one
Of the ground floor windows of the
Winter palace at st. Petersburg. into
which petitions were dropped. The
box was periodically opened and the
contents submitted to the car. This
method of receiving petitions was also
found to be unavoidable. The extent
to which the subjects Of the car avail
themselves of the courts privileges
may be gathered from the fact that as
many as $4,000 odd petitions have been
presented in year.
