The First American Flag.

June IA is the 14oth anniversary Of
the official adoption of the American
Flag which had been made by Mrs.
Betsey Ross of Philadelphia in I777
The story goes that General Wash
lngton and George Ross, Betsey's
uncle and a member of the CONT
mental Congress, called upon Mrs.
Ross. who was famed for her skill as
needle woman, and asked her to
make flag following rough design
that General Washington had sketch
ed out.
This design had blue field con-
tanning IS six-polnted stars.
Betsey folded up a piece of paper,
shipped it with her SCISSORS, unfold,
ed 1t, and to her own surprise and
theirs, produced a beautiful FIVE
pointed star: which they at once
adopted.
Her flag, when finished, contained
IS of these fve-pointed stars in E
! blue circle. This circle was after
ward changed to square. The fag
had 13 bars.

THE YOUNG MANS AGE"

A Philadelphia business man who
has made good, and who is a wise OBJ
server Of the affairs Of life and the
work-a-day world, gives it as his opin-
ion that this is distinctly the young
mans age" And he evolves from his
own experience Of third of a century
in business the conclusion that it is
the young mans fault If he doesn't
succeed with all the opportunities that
lie on every hand. The young man OF
to-day has chances such as his father
or even his older brother never HAD.
This man who eXemplite.s success
rose from an office boy at IS a week
TO the presidency OF concern en-
ploying 500 men. He knows what
makes for success. and and the atten'
ton Of every young man and aspiring
reader of The Intelligencer is invited
10 the advice he offers to one who
would get ahead. Know your busi-
ness. Put punch Into your work
every minute. Study your line in your
home hours. Do as we'll as your fellow
workers and just little better. Don't
let the biggest social engagement in
tcrfere with the smallest business
duty. Don't have too many dates"
Just as our soldiers will have TO
hight to win this war, any young man
beginning his career in civic pursuits

FREIGHT RATES AND COAL

Several things happened last "eeh
that have served to confuse the puohc
u,ind as 70 the abilities and judgment
Of those charged with authority 10
settle the large economic questions
that are confronting the country III
these times OF abnormal perp'e*i'S'
The first was the decision or the III
,erstate Commerce Commission sus'
pending the increased freight rates
asked by the railroads, on the Sfounu
thu, they we're now getting revenues
far in excess OF any periou III thelf
history, and were we'll able 10 sustain
themselves against any extraordinary
charges growing out Of the Increased
costs for materials and wage advances.
1t may be presumptuous to dissent
from. decisions made by men VINO are
Supposed 10 have acted solely on the
facts before them. but it is difficult 10
reconcile this judgment with the very
clear statements Of the railroads. ID
the mos, intelligent quarters OF the
country and from sources not at all
prejudiced in favor Of the tranSporta-
ZION corporations the opinionl IS freely
EXPRESSED that the railroads have not
been given Il square deal.
On top OF this comes the sensational
announcement Of Secretary Of War
Baker repudiatinS the agreement or
committee OF the Council OF National
Defense with the coal operators on d
maximum price Of s. ton Tor coal
as it comes from the mine. Secretary
Baker is eNofficiu chairman OF the
Council Of National Defense, and his
dictum carries the note OF tnaity.
That he is supported By Secretary
Daniels, another member OF the Coun-
Gil is not important as adding any
thing 10 the competency Of Secretary
Bakers decision. OF course II the
committee exceeded its authority in
making the agreement with the oper-
ators. that is another story. but does
i, justify Mr.. Bakers assertion that
the price fixed was "eXorbtant. un'
just and oppressive" That hardly
agrees with the declaration OF Score
lary Of the Interior Lane. who partlcl
pated in the conference. and one OF
the ablest members Of the cabinet
that the coal operators were deserving
of the gratitude OF the country fol
their patriotic concessions.
/, would seem that they had made
some sacrifices in view Of the state
ments made by local operator in the
Sunday News. who maintained thai
the rate Of s. ton would compel the
small coal operators 10 suspend bust
ness. and that IN the end the people
would be the sufferers. The freiSh
rate decision and the coal situation
are not calculated 10 have an inspiring
effect in investment and industrial
circles.

GREAT MOVEMENT
|NAUCURATED FOR
AMERICAN MUSIC

NEW YORK, July IA concerted
movement by American composers
and dramatists and leaders Of nation
al civic and musical organizations,
for the production of American opera
and other native music in the English
tongue, will be formally launched here
tomorrow.
While the Offices of the organ1za-
ton directing the movement Will be
in New York, its incorporators repre-
sent all sections of the country, ReGl-
nald de Koven, the composer, is
chairman of the National Committee
Of Organization, its other members
being;
Mrs. David Allen Campbell. ChIea-

The announcement policy Of the or
ganization is to produce throughout
the United States operate works oy
American composers and dramatlsts
only, acted and sung by an ali-Ameri-
can company. with an ail-Amerlcan
orchestra, chours and ballet.
1T is evident" said Mr.. de koven
today, that American music never
will be definitely developed by the en-
pkoyment Of the foreign artist and Inc
performance OF foreign works. Italy.
with less than third the population
of the United States, possesses sixty
three producing opera houses. The
music Of Germany and France has
been made familiar 10 the world by
it's endorsement at home. Russian
opera, similarly encouraged, now Is
being sung internationally in lncreas'
ing measure year by year.
"Of all the great music.lorinG and
music-supporting nations OF the earth.
America alone, until now, has made
no material effort for the encourage
mont of her native and natural must.
cal genius.
we have spent millions 10 hear
foreign singers and declined to hear
our own.
The different interests which have
been working separately 10 correct this
condition now have been brought to-
gether in one organization. They arc
all inspired by The same ideals. the
one essential hitherto lacking being
coordination in one definite practical
plan.
This union Of forces constitutes
the most forward step in the develop:
ment of American native music in the
history Of the country. The American
composer and dramatist OF really
notable work arc now assured proper
presentation, and an adequate number
OF performances. The American sing
er is 10 be given an opportunity and
an audience. The American people
will be permitted 10 enjoy music in
their native tongue and to contribute
TO It's development.
at is a patriotic and historic move
ment, deserving universal American
support at time when, as never be-
fore. our national consciousness Is
awakening. and when VIC realize That
in all things. America must take her
high place among the nations Of the
world"

" The Inlellisencer cannot let the OPP

full services rendered the city by the
retiring city solicitor, Mr.. J. Harold
Bremen, and judge OF the police court,
Ben S. Honecker. They.retire through

They are both young men and their
abilities are sure TO keep them in the
public's notice.
Mr.. Bremen has looked after the
legal interests OF the city With marked
success, and has been able to hand
over the Office to his successor with
all OF the business entrusted to his
hands cleaned up and without single
action against the city remaining on
the court dockets. That accomplish

THE REVISED WAR TAX BILL

The war tax bill. which was tumble
o. Inconsistencies as it came from the
House has been revised by the Senate
Finance Committee. and will be re-
ported from that committee early this
week. Naturally it is not d perfect
measure. but it comes nearer to ration.
ality than the House bill did. which
slapped on taxes without any refer
ence to whether the object taxed could
stand it. In the Senate revision in
comes and excess profits bear the
greater part OF the burden OF the war
charges. The bill us it now stands
calls for lesser total by over one
hundred and tory millions than the
