Work OF paving Locust avenue on

some time ago but they have been
waiting upon the city officials.
The city officials say that they are
waiting on the property owners to
build the curbing. The street com.
missioner has notified the various own

construction of their curbing as this
section will not widened, but will be
paved as 1t now Is. Unless the prop

PRESIDENTS FLAG TOFLY
OVER THE WHITE HOUSE
Whenever Chief Executive Is Absent
It Will Be Lowered Instead
of Old Glory.

A new flag is to fly from the White
House in addition to Old Glory.
1t is the beautiful flag of the Presi-
dent, and workmen today raised the
pole and the flag at the top of it for
the first time.
The custom of lowering the American
flag on the White House when the
President is absent is an old one, but
patriotically inclined employees OF the
government. as well as others. have not
liked the idea that the national en-
blem should ever be hauled down from
it's place over the main roof OF the
presidential home. The idea was con
ceived of hosting the flag of the Presl-
dent, allowing 1t to fly to the breezes
when he is in Washington, and puiling
it down when he Is absent.
The new fagpole Is over the roor OF
the porte-cochere of the White House
and in a straight line with Old Glory
staff The two have about the same
height The flag of the President was
at once raised, and attracted mucn at
tention. 1t is facsimile OF the great
seal of the United States In the midoie
