South Carolina, Tennessee. Texas and

awakening moral effect upon the
country, as shown by greater respect
for the flag and the notable decrease
in the number of illegitimate uses of 1t
in the states having laws.
LAS laws are not Self-executing, 1T is
as important to have the law preventing

as it is TO have new flag legisa-
ton Accordingly, when member Of

faSrant misuse of the flag in states
having flag laws the secretary of the
committee brings the case to the at

quest that he refer 1t to the law officers

in Colorado, the manufacturers destroy

not fully met the expectations of their
advocates. 1t is doubtful if the Webb

contest on account of exceptions In It's

that instead of having a number of

said Prof Matthews. Il can't believe
that these writer's are really doing their
best 1 believe that they must loathe
their work-that they must be ashamed
of their work.
but such work il it catches on pays,
while fine work can never pay like a
best seller. And so 1 suppose we must
say of our modern American novelists as
of most other people:
..They give up what they like to do in
order to get what they like to have
