Dale's Flag Ordinance

COUNCILMAN c. ALLEN DALE
~ has introduced resolution calling
for the American flag to be unfurled at
the beginning of each council session.
The building superintendent Is TO fur
nish the flag and TO arrange IL in some
manner so that il can be unfurled within
the council chambers.
The president of the council is TO des;g-
nate some clerk TO take charge OF the
ceremony.
Councilman Bolton. as an amendment
20 Dale's resolution, proposed Monday
that THE Star Spangled Banner" be sung
BY the council at the beginning OF each
session and America" at the close.
But even Councilman Bolton does not
60 quite far enough
Why confine this evidence OF patriot
ism to the council chamberss
Why not amend the resolution so that
the mayors office shall also be properly
decorated with flag'
Why not have the flag tremendously
unfurled every time the mayor signs an
ordinance or vetoes a bill'
Why not have flag in the office OF
the superintendent of utilities. In the
lighting department. In the water depart
ment, in the engineers office-in every
Office in the city. and require each en-
ploye Of the city to salute the colors
every morning.
Seriously, il II an insult to the true
patriotism Of the city TO have the Ameri-
can flag made the butt OF peanut poll
tica
Councilman Dates purpose Is obvious.
HIS PATRIOTISM IS POLITICAL.
A true patriot does not have to shout:
Il am a patriot" and cover himself with
the American flag to prove 1t.
Once or twice before. an attempt has
been made by political rogues to hide
their deceit by Selling upon the Ameri-
can flag.
Councilman Dale's resolution stands
alone OF It's kind in the whole United
States. But even at that. IL it were true
patriotism that inspired IL. IL could we'll
Be adopted.
We look in vain for any real patriotic
srdor in Dale to inspire such unique
ceremony.
We can only see the political election
year ahead.
We zee Dale again running TO succeed
himself.
We zee him before Veterans associa-
lions. beating his breast and shouting:
~See. am patriot. Didn't I introduce
Z resolution to unfurl the nag At each
council session.

A SepteInher Story

'- "Oh dear," sighed Baby Bunny, "Whsu will my fur turn white? Do you know when it will, mother?"
 "No, but be patient it soon will" That day Baby Bunny helped his mother to get some winter food, but he was very discontented. His Inotaer asked him many times what was the matter but he would not tell her.
 One morIinr he awoke and look ed at his fur and to his surprise he saw it was getting white. He went to show his mother, but he saw that her fur was turning white also. Then he ran to tell his lit- tie friend the squirrel, whoI was nard at work getting in his win ter store. -''Oh, look at my fur, Brother Squirrel!" he exclaimed. Tt will soon be as white as show and then no one can see me in the winter" After that Baby Bunny was very happy.

MANUAL TRAINING NOTES

The manual training boys have accomplished a lot In the few les sons they have had this year. In the last lesson the high school bcys started a book shelf for the library task requiring both skill and time. Some of the younger hoys finished theiT sleeve boards, while others spent their time in making miscellaneous ar ticles, such as tool boxes, book shelves and flower boxes. Mir. Pedersen has sent for tools for some ef the boys and though the tools have not yet come the boys are looking forward ot their first lesson with eager anticipation. The manual training department, sur piled with good tools, and under a competent teacher, has proved a useful addition to the school.

A nErfdnvn shln

A true story Is told of @ Skeptical Massachusetts captain who way back in the early years of the republic de- termined to exhibit the fallacy of the Friday superstition. He contracted on a certain Friday for the building of a ship, and It was arranged that the keel of this vessel was laid on Friday, that she was launched on a Friday, named Friday, commented loading on a Friday and hauled into the stream on the same day of the week. To add to the possibilities of disaster, q i.egro cook named Friday was engaged, and,
 thus fully freighted with the sinister name, the Friday sailed on Friday, bound to a port in the West Indies,

Heroism.

Heroism, In which include courage. fortitude and self denial, Is an essen- tial element of great character; coyr- age. which leads a man forth to meet danger whenever thereto called by duty; fortitude. the power and practice of endurance, which renders him su- perior to pain and makes him accept with cheerfulness whatever fate comes, and self, denial, the subordination of the material to the spiritual, of the lower to the higher nature of man, which renders his will master of his appetite and passions and causes him to forego every personal benefit for the sake of honor and conscience.- David Dudley Field

salF In the speotrum.

The extreme delicacy of ths spec trum test is illustrated by the fact stated by Lommel that the three-!mil- lionth part of a milligram of a salt of sodium. an imperceptble particle of dust to the naked eye, Is yet capable of coloring tue flame of candle yellow and of giving the yellow lines of 30. dium in the spectroscope. Indeed, so- dium in the form of a common salt Sodium chloridey Is so universally present as an impalpable dust floating in the air that 1t Is next to impossible to get spectrum which does not show the sodium lines.

Washing Won't Rid :: Z
Hair Of Dandruff

-. -
The only sure way to get rid Of dand-
ruff is to dissolve It, then you destroy II
entirely. To do this, get about four
ounces Of ordinary liquid arvon; apply
II 1t night when retiring; use enough to
.moisten the scalp and rub it in gently
with the finger tips. =
!. Do sthis tonight. and by morning,
most II not all, of your dandruff will be
gone and three or four more applica-
lions will completely dissolve and en-
tirely destroy every single sign and
trace Of it, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have.
You will find, too. that all itching
and digging Of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be, fluffy. lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft. and look
and feel a hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at any drug
store. It Is inexpensive and never fails
to do the work.
