The shortage OF toys for the Christ

Incidents that serve to break the

not unwelcome, provided they involve

along the road which hugs the sandy

the life saving station, the compass

but to sound an IS. O. S." signal with
the horn and the message was in

station.
In an instant the power boat OF the
station was in the water and the dash
across the bay was accomplished. At

.ICELAND'S NATIONAL FLAG
AROUSES DANISH S0LONS
ACTIVITIES OF INDEPENDENCE
PARTY CREATE STIR IN
PARLIAMENT.

Copenhagen, Aug. IA band OF
Icelandic patriots have designed a ma
tional flag which they propose to fly
not only over Iceland but on all their
vessels registered in that country. II
they had been content to make their
flag n strictly local affair, for which
permission had already been granted
by the Danish king, all would have
been well. But the Danish parliament
has now taken up the question OF the
marine flag on account, of the activities
OF the Icelandic independence" par
ty. .l......
The people of Denmark are OF a di-
vided opinion as to Iceland. Some feel
that the Icelanders are acting in a
very ungrateful way in view of past
favors, and others that to give lee
land its freedom would rid the country
Of a source of useless expense.
Iceland's new flag is of navy blue
field, marked with a white cross whose
arms extend to the four sides, and a
cardinal red cross OF half the size set
within the white.
II was not until after the state coun-
ell approved the Icelandic home dag,
following negotiations between the Ice
landic minister and the Danish prime
minister, that the agitation was taken
up by the patriots for its use as a
commercial and marine emblem The
Icelanders cannot have their new coll
ors recognized by foreign powers as
national flag without the consent OF
the Danish parliament.

There is a tendency in the copper

fashioned bike, or bicycle, the man
power vehicle that permits one to ride
afoot. The motor car and the motor
cycle have rather driven the old fash
Toned wheel into the discard OF late,
but the good roads movement in the
copper country promises to bring the
bicycle back into popularity.
II. B. Cowdrick, weather observer
OF Houghton, Is one OF the most ar
dent devotees OF the wheel and he
showed last Sunday that the man.
power bike still has touring possibili-
ties. He rode his wheel from Hough-
ton TO Eagle Harbor Sunday and re-
turned to Houghton Monday making
the 7S-mile Journey at an average of
ten miles per hour. He says that he
saw an unusual number of cyclists
while on the trip and that he believes
the bicycle is coming back.
