ceived from Colonel G.. W. Burr, com
handing officer OF the Rock Island ar
senal, a complete list of army and
navy regulations regarding use and
display of the American flag Several
of the facts brought out are new to a

teresting information in regard to the
national emblem. received from the
commanding officer, are:

as TO proportions by an order from
the white house. The approved pro-
portions are hoists width, / fly length.

union, 76; width of each stripe, l13.
There is also to be a limiting Of num-
Der Of sizes to L.
The national salute is 81 guns. II
is also the salute to a national flag.
No ensign, pennant, steamer or
other banner OF any kind other than
the flags, colOrs, standards, pennants
and guidons prescribed by the army

by the war department will be used
by the army or by any regiment or
other organization thereof.
nc 0dilubc 10 the nag is the only
salute that is returned, and this is
invariably done as soon as possible
Time intervening should never ex-
coed a hours. Failure to return such
a salute is regarded as a discourtesv.

WILLIAM CARR NAME
NEW PUBLIC SCHOOL

Plans and specifications for the new
William Carr school which is to be
built at Seventh street and Nineteenth
avenue, Moline, this summer, were
submitted to the Moline school board
at it's regular meeting last evening by
Whitsitt & Schulzke, architects, who
designed the proposed building.
Plans were approved and the COM
mittee on buildings and grounds will
hold a conference with the architects
this afternoon to go over the specifi-
cations. 1t is expected that bids will
be called for Saturday or early next
week.
Incidentally the board decided def
nitely upon name for the new school,
which in the past has been known as
the Seventh street school. 1t Will be
known henceforth as the William Carr
school, the board appropriately decid-
ing that, inaSmuch as William Carr
donated to the city for school pur-
poses the ground upon which the old
school stands and upon which the new
one will be constructed, and particu-
Iarly as his gift is one of the few, if
not the only donation of this sort in
the history of Moline, the pioneer
should be honored by having the
school named for him. The decision
will probably meet with general ap-
prevail throughout the city. especially
in the Seventh street district, where
residents have been urging that the
name William Carr be adopted
Miss Clara Weckel was engaged to
operate the lunch room at the high
school during the coming year, while
Miss Carol Thompson was engaged as
teacher of English at the high school.
Her father, H. D. Thompson, instruc-
tor in the local high school, was for
years teacher in biology and zoology,
and she is known here, although her
home is now in Muskegon.

MILLION DECREASE
IN MEN FOR FRANCE

Paris Correspon of The AS
sociated Press 1.-The latest statistics
OF the labor department show that
while women outnumbered men in
France before the war by 756,6S2 Tin a
total population of SO, 6602 .25S), the
war will probably decrease the number
of men at least a million, giving the
women a majority of 1,750,00O.
The additional million excess female
population will be obliged, in part at
least, TO support themselves, increas-
ing considerably the percentage of fe-
male wage earners, which according to
statistics of the year 1912 was one
fourth of the total number of employed
in commercial and industrial estab-
lishments subject to inspection by the
labor department.
There were II 100000 persons earn
ing salary or wages in France before
the war. They were distributed as fol-
lows.
Farm hands -.............. $4,000
House servants ...... 900 900
Government employees $500. 100000
Commercial employees ---... / 900 900
Industrial employees ..-.--. 5000, 900
OF the 1850. 900 workers in COM
mercial and industrial enterprises in
spected in 1912, ,212. $50 were women
and girls. There were, besides, a mil
lion women and girls mostly garment
makers engaged on piece work at
home and escaping the inspection law.
They brought the total of female wage
earners up 10 2.2l2,S90 as against
3,7S7I10 men. Since the war began at
least $50. 900 women have been added
TO the number, making in round num-
bers 1850, 900.
Half of the total war losses in men
will fall on the factories and com
mercial establishments, decreasing the
total number of male wage earners to
8 ,287, ITO. Surprising that half the
same number OF women will replace
them IL will bring their total up to
. $50 900 or Al per cent of the whole.
