But for v more than this stands the purp a white of our flag, the flag than than all the world looks upon with re. spect, admiration and love. The white in this flag is more that beautiful for us who love it. We see in the whiteness of it's stripes the beauty, the unstinted love the sympathetic sorrow sharing of the joy maker, the home maker, that matchless woman the pure, virtuous, unspotted American woman.
 But we love to think of the beauties of the blue field, clus- tered with it's brilliant stars, for we realize that when God creat- ed the heavens and the earth He placed the stars in the Armament to give brilliance and light. The stars in our flag, each represent ing state, hold all bound to- gether in cluster, showing us the relationship of one state to an- other and the responsibilities that each state must share in securing to all our people the rights and privileges belonging to them by the freedom of this great coun- try of ours. These stars will not bloom and die, but will shine on and on in the hearts of our peo. pie, causing them to look up and to strive harder for higher ideals, greater achievements and lottler motives.

UpOll e 1ldS 0eAA' VAOA1 O1PlCeJ VI other than upon a flag pole the Union or field should always point to the north, when at all practical, and when not, then the the next preference is that the field shall point to the east.
 This flag was established by our Congress June 4, 1777, which is now celebrated as Flag Day. At the time of it's adoption our beloved Washington is said to hava observed: We take the star from heaven, the red from our mother country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing we have separated from, her and the white stripes shall go down to posterity representing lib- erty."
 The red in this beautiful flag tells us with eloquence that never fell from human lips how much 1t cost to esta blish, maintain and preserve a government which, when administered according to it's terms, makes tyranny impos- sible, an actof injustice unthink- able, and treason not dreamed of in the minds of men. And it guarantees absolute justice to every man, equal rights to all and special privileges to none. These red stripes are the eloquent description and the record of all the heroic blood that has flowed from Concord and Bunker Hill down to the present day, and yet remind us, in the face of our present trouble, that our life blood will freely flow if need be to still carry this message down to further posterity. And while we are at WAR, we yet realize that WE ARE RIGHT, and that we too are willing to pay the penalty of all that war means for the maintenance of the principles of which these red strips tell the concentrated patriotism of the American people. Not the kind of patriotism that has back of it ulterior and unworthy mo- tives; not patriotism to class and condition; but the consecrated patriotism to this our own dear land that we desire to keep al- ways what ii has been and to make it, under the guiding power of Him who holds the destiny of the world in His hands, the great est national benefartor the world has ever known.
 The white stripes, side by side, are said to be so white because of the tears of the nation, that have bleached them into the whiteness of driven snow; tears that were shed in sorrow over the strife engendered by the am-

 On this day we have assembled here for the purpose of showing honor to the flag that gives us protection, safety, privileges and opportunities.
 It is fitting that we not only know why the flag was brought to the prominence it now holds, but that we should know the courtesies due this most hon. ored of all flags.
 It is too true that we legally have no national anthem, but we do have national flag, recognized all over the world. 1 have been requested to give to those who need the information some facts relative to the courtesies due this nation in regard to the songs we sing, as well as to the flag we honor. As we stated, we have no anthem that has been legal ized by law, and this is some times confusing, for we notice in assemblies of people some will rise to their feet on hearing the strains of America" and some will rise when the Star Span gled Banner" is played. While not having a legal song or an them, the army and the navyhave given precedence to the Star Spangled Banner" and. without law, that has been adopted as our real anthem. When it is played, in any place or at any time, those who are sitting should rise to their feet and, if covered, should uncover; that is, the men should remove their hats. placing them across on the left shoulder, and if already uncovered, should come to attention when the flag that is being raised comes to it's place. It is also custom firmly established in the minds of our people that when the words of America" are sung we show the same courtesies; but only when sung, for it is England's royal anthem, and when played intru- mentally it may be intended as a courtesy to our English cousins as it is the tune of God Save the King" So 1 trust that you children especially will remember that upon which you no doubt have been instructed in school.

we are glad to give It to our read scant justice to the orator, as the it's delivery attests:
 rights run counter to the rights of others his liberty is and should be curtailed. We hear men, who are so far forgetful of their duty to their country, finding fault with the government which af- lords them protection, sometimes even asserting that they have no flag to fight for. How pitiful is that man who has such a small conception of life, with all it's duties and privileges. Again, we hear men who, even in this trying time, rail upon the gov ernment because in their Solomon like wisdom the country is not run as they think it should be, and give voice to expressions that almost sound reasonable. Our President has been very careful to explain how easy it is to be a traitor in speech. No one es- teens the memoryAof Benedict Arnold, and yet we hear men who in their hearts and speech are as much traitors to their country as was Benedict Arnold, and would probably betray their country as basely. as Arnold did if given the same opportunity. All honor to the man who really loves his country, who stands by it in speech and in thought, and settles all differences of opinion at the ballot box, where it is proper that men should define their opinions.
 This flag that we are paying tribute to is not the youngest flag of the world; on the contrary, 1t it is the very oldest ensign in the world. This flag is twenty-four years older than England's royal standard, twenty-eight years older than the flag of Spain, and for seventeen years it had fioated it's beauty to the morning suns, encouraging us to great e achievements, before the tri- color of France was given to this world. More than that, it had ninety-three years of progress, of triumph, to show for it's ex- istence before the flag of ou1 present enemy, the German Elm. pire, was made. The flags o1 China and Japan are but babes in arms compared to the glorious stars and stripes. So this flag we honor has been time tried anc has been true.

"HlDDEN HAND" CAPTURES DORIS
WHITNEY IN PATHE SERIAL.

Doris is held tight by the false Ram
sey as the Hidden Hand inserts the
l0cket into the packet in the Bird cpl
sode of Pathe's "The Hidden Hand"
at the Strand Theatre, next Tuesday.
While the Hidden Hand gloats over
his coming success. the false Ramsey,
eager to see the contents in the pack
ct, loosens his hold on Doris and
crowds around the Hidden Hand with
the other henchmen. Seeing a fam
ing retort, Doris rises, seizes it by the
tripod and tips it over the wooden ia
bic. Immediately a huge cloud of
smoke shoots up, binding the Hidden
Hand and his men.
Doris crawls oyer and snatches the
fallen packet. The smoke gradually
clears away and the Hidden Hand
discovers that Doris has fled with the
packet. He Immediately starts in pur-
suit, followed by his emissaries.
On the road they are gaining upon
Doris. but are forced to retreat when
Ramsey, who has been trailing the
Hidden Hand. comes to Doris assist
ance. Showing him the packet, she
explains what occurred. Realizing
that now is their chance to recover the
locket, Doris and Ramsey go back to
the den.
The Hidden Hand returns to his
den Hearing a machine approaching
he dashes to the window. He darts
back as he sees Doris and Ramsey.
He determines to trap them, lighting
a fuse, he sneaks through a secret
passage way. Doris and Ramsey en-
ter. Accidentally, Doris looks up at
the ceiling and sees the burning fuse.
Ramsey grabs Doris and rushes out.
A second later the bomb explodes,
wrecking the den.

The TempermentaI Artist.

The Art World Magazine is willing
to admit that the public taste and
preferences in art is not to be despised,
and it thinks artists should consider
those preferences. 1t says:
"An artist only honors himself when
he never loses for one moment the
thought of pleasing that great world
public. He should seek forever to
captivate it, not merely by pleasing it,
but by pleasing it so much that it viii
be delighted to take off his hat to him,
thank the giver of all good things for
having created him, and honor itself
by mailing his name high up in the
temple Of fame. Thus he will win a
niche in the heart of mankind, which
means the immortal love of the race.
The truly wise and great
artist digs down deep into the heart
and soul of man, there to sense if he
can what the race is feeling, thinking
and longing to have expressed for
itSelf-in the hope of being enraptured
by the nobility of the forms in which
the artist expresses the things which
he finds there"
