Household Hints.

II you should happen to scorch
your potatoes when cooking them
place kettle AMI all in a pan of ruld
water just as soon AS possible. and
you will never know they were
scorche ed.
Mlldew or any other stain NAV
be safely removed from leather by
the use of vaseline, which should
be rubbed in until absorbed and
then the leather polished with a
channels.
If a cake is given lew hits on
the table just before putting il into
the oven. it will never fall as all
the air bubbles will then come to
the surface and break. aud there is
nothing &C. cause it To fall.
lnste of spelling the olcluth on

as the Cambridge flag. because 1t
was first unfurled over WashinetOn's
headquarters at Cambridge. Mass,
on January 1, l776. 1t complied
with the law of 1907 by having the
the Union Jack on it: il also repre-
sented the Is colonies by the
Is stripes
As the colonists gradually be-
came converted to the idea that in
dependence from the mother coun-
try was necessary. they began to
modify the flag, first by leaving off
the Union Jack and using only the
Is horizontal stripes. The mOditi-
ed flags were not always red and
white. but regularly consisted of
combinations of two colors selected
from red. white, blue, and yellow.
The final modification was the re-
placement of the Union Jack by
white stars on a blue field.
The stars are tie only distinctive
feature of the American flag The
charming story which credits Betsy
Ross with making the first flag of
stars and stripes is still accepted by
historians. When Washington sug-
gested the SlX-pointed star. she
demonstrated the case with which
a five pointed star could be made
by follinA piece of paper and pro-
ducinS one with single clip of the
scissors. Some writer's are Of the
opinion thar both stars and stripes
in the flag were derived from the
coat of arms Of the Washington
family. but this theory is not gen
orally held
The official adoption of our first
flag was in l777. On June IA of
that year the Continental Congress
passed an act providing that the
tlae OF the thirteen United States
be thirteen stripes. alternate red
and white that the union be thir-
teen stars. white on blue field

petul'y o, the union of the states.
Vermont was admitted to the
I Union in 1871 and Kentucky in
! 1892 1t was felt that these two
new States ought to be recognized
on the flag, so ia 1894 Congress
. passed an act making the flag Is
stars and II stripes.
This remained the flag of the
. United States throughout the War
, OF 1912, until there we're 20 States
in the Union. In 1916, an effort
was again made to modify the flag
so that all the new States would be
, represented on it, To be continual.
ly adding stripes would make the
flag very awkea ard in shape and
appearance, SO after arguing the
matter for two years, Congress de,
Clded to return to the orisina
thirteen stripes and one star for
each State. Congress has never
, determined the ARRANGEMENT of the
, stars nor the shape and proportion.

How Our Flag Grew

Stripes.
The American flag is a growth,
rather than a creation. Its history
eau be traced back to the 18th cen.
fury, or nearly 600 years prior to
the first Flag Day" Jun" Id, l777
During the first crusade in 1895.
Pope Urban II assigned to all of
the Christian nations as standards
crosses varying in color and design
emblematic of the warfare in which
they were engaged To the Scotch
troops was assigned the white sal.
tire. known as the white cross of
St Andrew. on a blue field. The
British used a yellow cross, but
century and a quarter later they
adopted red cross on a white field
known as the red cross of St. George.
When James VI'of Scotland as
cended the throne of England as
James !. he combined the two flags
and issued proclamation requiring
all ships to carry the new flag at
their main masts At the same
time the vessels of south Britain
were TO carry at their foremasts the
red cross Of St. George and the
ships of North Britain to carry the
white cross of St. Andrew.
The new flag was known as
King Colors.' the Union Colors
or the Great Union" and later as
the Union Jack" and was the one
under which the British made all
their permanent settlements in
America. 1t was the flag of Great
Britain only by proclamation, how
ever: not until 1907 did Parliament
pass an act definitely uniting the
two countries and their flags In the
same year the Government issued
regulations requiring the Navy to
use what was known as the white
ensign: the Naval Reserve, the blue
ensign; and the Merchant Marine.
the red ensign Owing to the fact
that the British merchant vessels
were everywhere. the colonists in
America came to look upon this red
ensign as the flag of Great Britain
The people in the New England
colonies were bitterly opposed to
the cross in the flag. In 1885 some
of the troops in Massachusetts de.
cined to march under this flag and
the military commissioners were
forced to design other flags for their
troops with the cross left out The
design they adopted has not beer
preserved In 1852 a mint vas es
tablished in Boston. Money coined
in this mint had the pine tree
stamped on one side of it The pine
tree design was also used on New
England flags. certainly by 1904
and possibly as early as 1885.
AT the outbreak of the Revolu,
ton the American colonies had nc
flag common to all of them. Ir
many cases the merchant marine
flag of England was used with the
pine tree substituted for the Union
Jack Massachusetts the greer
pine tree or white field with the
motto; An Appeal to Heaven.
Some of the Southern States had
the rattlesnake flag with the MOTIF
Don't Tread on Me" on white o.
yellow field This flag had beer
used by South Carolina as early as
1854 Benjamin Franklin defended
the rattleSnakedevice on the ground
that the rattlesnake is found only
in America and that serpent EN-
blems were considered by ancient.
to be symbols of wisdom.

INDIANA AUTHORS

Indiana has been celebrating it's centennial year and checking up it's accomplishments, and its remarkable literary record has not been over looked. The state has been most pro- life in the yield of men who can write we'll. At the Panama Pacific exposition were exhibited 15.000 vol- umes of miscellaneous product from the pens of Hoosier scribes. a most impressive sight. Whatever the cause, no state in the Union has been able to show like record of literary attainment.
 Sundry anthologies have given em- phasis to the author as an Indinan product. and the record is fairly con- plete. There are few Americans who have not had opportunity to be in- formed as to the states most remark able product.
 It is now proposed that this posi- tion in American accomplishment be given exploitation through pageantry and parade and special celebrations, commercializing of the inspira ton that has animated the Indiana pea, and a proceeding not indorsed by those who have brought such credit to the state.
 Indeed, no pageantry is necessary for Indiana authors; they speak for themselves through their product. The 15.00o volumes of native genius are exhibit A i1 any presentation of the states resources. No brass bands or parades are needed. When Tndi. ana's name is mentioned 1t Is not thoughts of corn or hogs or packing houses that are involved, but the states chief product-authors.
