How FIaus Are Made.

The many thousands of stars used on Old Glory each year are cut out by a cutting machine, which manages the eight different sizes needed. The stars on the reverse are simply pieces of cloth pasted to the blue field. An ope' ator using a "zigzag" machine stitches around the edge of the star, which has been cut out by machine; this makes star pattern on the piece of cloth pasted on the reverse, and the excess material Is cut with scissors by Q '1trimmer." These vary in dimensions from If inches in diameter down to ? inches. But of all the flags of the United States. the presidents flag en- tails the most labor. To make 1t re- Quires all of one woman's time for tufi month. The flag, consisting of blue ground with the coat of arms of the United States in the center, Is hand sewed, and 1t takes days of pa- tient stitching to secure in place the life-sized eagle with its great wings outstretched. The flag is made in two sizes. 10 by 14 feet and 8 by 5 feet.- Gcientifn Amarican

 Of course, a distance swimmer may
 be very fast for distance swimming. But even at that, a fast long-distance swimmer, with very few exceptions, is
 never real sprinter.
 A different kind of energy is ap- r piled to sprinting, and when a short distance speed swimmer starts ndulg- ing in long swims, almost invariably it is at the expense of snap and vigOr
 | In distance work the swimmer falls into steady even stride, pulling as ia rule certain number of strokes to the minute. Of course, a distance swimmer will extend herself and ap- ply her best energies to making the
 best time possible for the swim she lis making, trying, of course, to take minutes off a record; or, if it is a
 new swim, to set a mark so low that it will stand unbrokCn. Long-distance swimming, |, if the i swimmer is well trained, becomes

was undecided whether he would ask

overruled this motion and set all the
cases for next Monday, when it will
be determined when and where the
trials will take place.

Restaurant Stew Killed Him.

Amsterdam, July 2I.--A Prague
newspaper tells the story of an art
ist there who found it impossible to
kill himself with poison or rope
and was only able to shuttle off this
mortal coil finally by eating a res
taurant stew. The story:
"Tired of life at As, the artist pro-
cured a portion of a violent poison
and tried to poison himself with it..
In vain he waited fatal effect, and
on the following day had the remains
of the vial analyzed. 1t was a war
substitute poison. He then pro-
cured rope and hanged himself, but
the rope was made of paper pulp and
it broke. The two-fold failure of his
attempt at suicide the man regarded
as sign of fate and fresh joy in
life inspired him. Proceeding to a
certain we'll known restaurant, he or
dered an alleged meat stew. 1t was
a war substitute stew, and two hours
later he was dead"

Can Still Enlist in Co. B.

Captain Caruthers received tele-

general stating that all unmarried
men, whose names have been drawn
in the draft, can enlist in the Ma
tional Guard until they have been Of
ficially notified by the local eSemp-
ton board that their names have
been drawn and to appear for exami-

Under this ruling any man whose
name is near the head of the list can
enlist in Co. B and go to the front
with his friends and neighbors, and
not wait until he is called for the
draft, when he will have to go with
any organization that may happen to
be short. Remember that the enlist
ment must be made before the local
board notifies the man to appear.
After that it will be too late.

After the trip was over General
Sibert spoke enthusiastically of the
