Show the Colors

Richmond citizens have been
backward about displaying the ma
tional emblem since the interna-
tional crisis became acute.
Every business house and every
residence ought to display Old
Glory these days. Hundreds Of
flags are hid in garrets and closets.
Bring them out. Let Old Glory
wave throughout the whole city.
Richmond is intensely patriotic.
Now and then the city Is slow in
showing her loyalty. Let action
replace apathy Display the flag
tomorrow. Patriotism grows and
become intense when the national
colors give inspiration.
A thousand flags from a thous-
and homes will be an incentive for
other thousands to display other
thousands Of flags. The streets Of
the city should be a mass of Red,
White and Blue before the middle
Of next week.
