had a dreadful setback in their patri-

to plan what they could do to make

desired that these boys should not

| There are eleven thousand men en-
camped Whereabouts, and SO these
women decided they had a job of some
magnitude on their hands to provide
| an uninterrupted deluge of happiness
for all of them. So a great meeting
of all the women interested was called
to discuss plans for manufacturing joy
in sufficient quantities for the whole
camp. The general in charge of the
camp was invited in to make sugges-
tons.
This gave the general the chance he
wanted to throw a bomb. He had
been carrying it around with him just
waiting for a good chance to ex-
plode it,

The American eagle must fairly scream with
wrath when his piercing eye falls upon the grimy
banners which hang above many true patriots
roof
The flag is at it's best when borne by marching
men, or when it floats briskly from tall standard
or the highest point of building against the
blue sky.
But whatever its place. it is not at it's best if it
is dull with SCOT. Hundreds of our star-spangled
banners are not waving proudly at all, at the
present moment In every village, city and town,
from homes and stores, factories and schools and
churches, hang flags whose broad stripes and
bright stars are dsmally gray with smoke But
to the credit of the government be it said that the
flags on federal buildings are usually fresh and
beautiful
As rule some careless janitor is at fault
when Old Glory gets grimy. Therefore it is up to
the owner manager, trustee-to whoever has
power to order the flag up-to see that its colors
are kept pure red, white and blue. Whoever is
loyal enough to raise flag surely ought to be
conscientious enough to keep it spotless
And keep the flag in repair. Patch it, Rebind
it. Tatters and tears are honorable only when
they have been won in the service.
Bunting will stand soap and water, and it
doesn't need ironing.
