Work OF Mcnding The Flags.
All the linen used in backing the
nags had to be especially woven for
the purpose. This was done In
Europe. and the linen was the same as
was used In the backing of some OF
the tapestries made by the wife OF the
Duke Of Normandy more than one
thousand years ago. The fact that
these tapestries are still in excellent
condition is pretty good evidence that
our trophies will be preserved for
many years at least. Then. too. the
thread used had to be dyed the exact
color of the flags. which naturally had
faded, and 1t required the work of one
man for an entire month to get the
correct shades and colors which would
stand the sunlight test. Where pieces
Of the flags had disappeared no at
tempt was made to insert another as
the work was for the preservation and
not the restoration, SO these gaps were

CITY WON I TEST
SEGREGATION
ORDINANCE
Mayson, Replying to Alexander,
Declares Law Does Not Vio-
late Constitution.

city officials will not attempt test
of the segregation law because United
states District Attorney Hooper
AIexander suggested it, with the
,.ninion that the ordinance was I'M
institutional, it was learned to-day.
civ Attorney Mayson. in answer
10 challenge from Mr.. Alexander,
said the original law was constitu-
,toral in his opinion. and that he
would give a written opinion as soon
az he could prepare it.
Attorney Mayson Is doubtful about
q recent amendment to the law. The
original law was that all blocks in
habited only by white people should
remain so unless a majority of the
residents voted to allow a negro to
move in, and vice versa.
Say Law Has Done Good.
The amendment would regulate
mixed blocks bv requiring consent of
neighbors to allow a change. But At
torney Mayson said he had no dispo-
Sl'lO0 10 take TIE IildllSI W tllc SOui 70.
The attitude of city officials Is that
the law already has done great good
in sllaying race prejudice by sepa-
rating the whites and negroes, and
that there is no disposition on the
part of anyone to oppose 1t except a
few property owners who have been
nut to a little inconvenience in rent
ing houses.
The law was passed at the behest
Of hundreds of white residents in Sec
tons bordering negro districts, and
since its passage by the City Council
the negroes have shown a disposition
10 obey it. They would leave it's
testing by the courts to citizens d.
rectlv concerned.
Ashley Not Afraid of Test.
Councilman Claude l.. Ashley,
father of the ordinance, declared he
was confident the law was constftu-
ional and he did not care if it was
tested.
1t is not near so strict as similar
laws in Baltimore and Richmond,
iFter which it was drafted, and both
or them have been upheld by the Su-
preme Courts of Maryland and Vir-
aina" he said.
Mr. Alexander said he wrote an
opinion on the request of Dan Ca
ravs father. He sent a copy of that
opinion to City Attorney Mayson. His
ouiniou is that the law conflicts with
he fourteenth amendment to the
Federal Constitution.

Mayor With Gambler
At Harmony Feast
OF Council Members

A meeting of the Mayor and Cen
eral Council, at which politics was
absolutely taboo, was held at the
home of Alderman John S. Gambler
in Druid Hills Friday night, when he
entertained his colleagues at an elab-
crate dinner.
For once there was perfect har-
mony. Mayor Woodward had seat
beside Alderman Gambler at the head
of the table No speeches were made.
Councilman A. w. F'arlinger came
near realizing his dream that fell
lowship dinners would cement the
Mayor and Council into harmonious
organization.
One of the attractive features of
the affair were menu cards, hand
painted by Miss Edna Black, of Ma
retta. Each bore the coat of arms
of the city and was used as place
card.
