WHAT 1T COSTS TO
PRODUCE A SOLDIER
(BY John c. MelIettl

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2-It costs
more to make a soldier in some parts
of the United States than it does in
others.
This may sound queer to the lay
man, who thinks that because Uncle
Sam buys supplies at uniform prices
for all parts of the country. and pays
the same salaries everywhere, sol
dlers should cost no more in one re.
gion than in another.
The highest per capita cost in turn
ing out soldiers is $1S2. You'd never
guess where this price obtains. New
York, your choice? Guess again.
Michigan and Massachusetts, with
Camps Custer and Devens respective
ly in the national army, are tied at
the high mark.
1t is cheapest at American Lake.
Wash, where Uncle Sans soldiers
cost him only s142 each.
iiere is the way the sixteen can
ton.ncnts ranks in per capita cost for
soldiers, from lowest cost to highest:
Camp Lewis. American Lake, Wash,
sl42.
Camp Lee. Petersburg Va, $1i6.
Camp Taylor. louisville. Ky. $149.
Camp Gordon, Atlanta, Ga. $l46.
Camp Pike. Little Rock. Ark, 1851.
Camp Funston, Fort Riley. Kan,
s153.
Camp Travis, Fort Sam Houston,
Texas. s156.
Camp Jackson. Columbia, S. c., 1857.
Camp Dodge. Des Moines, Iowa.
$l5S.
Camp Meade. Annapolis Junction,
Md. $15S.
Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O., 1854.
Camp Upton. Yaphank, Long Island.
SI65.
Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. j., $167.
Camp Grant. Rockford, H.. $40.
Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, 1882.
Camp Custer, Battle Creek. Mich.
1882.
These figures are part of budget
submitted by the war department to
the committee on appropriations OF
the House of Representatives, in ask.
Ing for money to outfit and train the
national army.
No specific effort was made to ex.
plain the difference in the per capita
cost of the new soldiers. but other
figures submitted clear the mystery
Many OF the set expenses are identi
cal the country over but others vary
widely.
No great difference is seen in regu.
lar supplies, bagsacks and quarters.

INITMNNHE United States flag was
'4SfEN born June IA, 1777, in
@EgN Philadelphia, Pa. Myth.
lNANJl @xo J;&;oo orJ lonop1 90

HSNNNSN Philadelphia, ia. Myth,
GN-Ny tradition, and legend as
signed the designing and making
of the first United States flag to
Betsy Ross, a Quakeress, of Phila-
delphia. The same myth, legend,
and tradition states that she made
this flag at the suggestion of a
committee of Congress, composed
of George Washington, Robert
Morris, and George Ross. This
myth, legend, and tradition is not
authenticated by any written or
printed documents of the day, and
only had it's birth as public fact
about 1876, when the country was
getting ready to celebrate the CEN
tennial of the Declaration of indie.
pendence.
The authentic history of the flag
begins on the hour and day when
the Continental Congress-
Resolved, That the flag of the
thirteen States be 13 stripes, alter
nate red and white; that the union
be 13 stars, white on a blue field,
representing a new constellation.
Who presented the resolution or
how it was brought to vote in
Congress is not known. So the
flag stands without a father or
mother, as far as recorded history
is concerned, and the beautiful
Betsy Ross theory is alike unsub-
stantiated.
The United States flag was born
of revolution and baptized in:blood
and tears.
From the hour it was brought
into existence by the Continental
Congress to the present day it has
been the symbol of light and liber-
ty, of justice and equality, of pa
triotism and progress.
1t has foated for 14O years, the
pride and glory of 5000. 900 of
people in 1777 and 10, 900 in
1917.
1t is the oldest national flag in
the world.
The United States flag has never
been anything but stars and stripes.
As it appeared in the beginning,
so it appears now. In 1871 Yer
mont was admitted to the Union,
and in 1892 Kentucky. In 1894 a
bill was introduced in Congress to
increase both stripes and stars to
Is, thus indicating the intention of
the founders to have each State
represented upon the flag.
Fifteen stripes and stars con-
tinued to be the official United
States flag until 1918, when the
number of States in the Union had
increased to Is, and the three new
States demanded representation up
on the flag. Then Congress passed
the third and final act fixing the
number of stars and stripes on the
flag. The bill was entitled
An Act to Establish the Flag
of the United States"
Section 1. Be it enacted, etc.,
That from and after the 4th day of
July next. the flag of the United
States be 13 original stripes, alter
nate red and white; that the Union
have 20 stars. white in blue field.
Section 2. And be it further
enacted, That on the admission of
every new State into the Union,
one star shall be added to the
union of the flag; and that such
addition shall take effect on the 4th
of July next succeeding such ad-
mission.
Approved April 4. 1918.
The adding of the few stripes
and stars and the taking away OF
the few stripes never altered the
appearance of the flag thread.
When flying from the peak of
ships at sea, or from flag poles or
towers, the United States flag has
been stars and stripes from the
