SHELLS DECORATE

There are so many places in this
country where shells are a part Of the
generous contribution of nature to the
pleasure Of mankind that it ought not
to be difficult to take the hint that is
given in recent decoration and use

to make a very effective decorative ef-

simple flowers are made wonderfully
attractive by the use of a few shells
to aid the display. Such an arrange

The shells can be used as often as
you please. The arrangement can be
varied and the flowers changed for diff

tire covers or other rubber fabrics are
placed in a closed vessel containing
tetrachlorethane, and this is heated by
steam or otherwise. To remove uncom-

only until the sulphur is dissolved, the

becomes dissolved. The solution is

MAI. O. R. SMITH DESIGNER
OF THE "STARS AND BARS"

In North Carolina at the beginning
of the sixties there lived man who
had fought in the Mexican and Indian
wars in the regular army, and when
the state seeded from the Union he
cast his lot with his state. Loving the
flag under which he had fought, he de-
signed one of the same colors and with
such similarity that the men of the
south mistook it in the battle of Bull
Run, and another was designed and has
since been known as the battle flag.
Maj. Orrfn Randolph Smith of Louis
burg. N. c.. designed the first flag, and
threw 1t to the breeze. on the corner of
Courthouse Square, from pole 100 feet
high, March Is, 1861. 1t had three
stripes, with seven stars in a circle on
blue field. This was the Stars and
Bars. a model of which he had made by
young woman acquaintance in the
town, in which he lived, Miss Becky
Murphy, and sent it to the committee,
who adopted it for the Confederacy.
The proof. which was submitted to
the convention of the United Confed-
crate Veterans in Richmond in 1915,
was fndisputable and the convention so
voted.
Miss Jessica Randolph Smith, daugh-
ter of Maj. Orrin Randolph Smith, was
for years indefatigable in her search
for those who made or saw the first
nag. and her zeal has been rewarded
When Maj. Smith died in 1913 his cas-
ket was draped with Old Glory and the

REUNION POEM READ
VETERANS BY AUTHOR

Mrs. Virginia Frazier Boyle Of Memphis

crate Veterans Association, the United
Sons of Confederate Veterans and the Con.
following poem on Union" at the meeting
in the Arcade this morning, written fol-
the twenty-seventh annual reunion OF the
Veterans and the twenty-second annual
reunion of the Sons:
Out of the mists and the storms of the years,
Out of the ashes of hope and of fears,
The Old South still leads on.
She is bringing today what her hands have wrought
What her mothers heart at her knee has taught,
Her treasure of time that her blood has bought,
To lay at the alton 8 feet.
Not the tattered things which she waves today,
Not the stars and bars she has laid away,
Nor the bended forms in their coats Of gray
Her wondrous pledge to the past.
But the spirit that stirs through the dust Of
Wherever the flags of the Union wave;
The valor the God of her heroes gave,
To freedom and liberty.
She comes with the cry that led her Cd
When freedom and liberty first were born,
And the name of her peerless Washington
The rugged strength Of his days.
She has kept unmixed. through her years Of pain,
Americas blood in its purest vein;
As she gave to the past, she gives again
For the glory Of her land.
With patriots faith in the days to be,
She is pressing the seal of destiny,
With the fame of her Jackson and her Lee
The heritage of her sons.
And she sees in her ruddy boy today,
In his khaki coat her lad in gray,
And back of the drums her heartstrinss play,
When the bugles shout and call.
But her mother-love is not dismayed;
She has laid her treasure unafraid
On the shrine where the sad-eyed Lincoln prayed
That the Union might not break.
How they troop, that host that can never die!
nations heroes passing by;
The spirits that brook nor earth nor sky
For the deathless dead have heard.
They are marching out with a shadowy lance,
With the sons Of sons to the fields Of France;
And they stand at the guns while the bullets
glance,
Where England fights to win.
oh, hallowed earth of the brave and the free
Oh, pledges of life and of liberty!
They are keeping the tryst on the land and the
sea,
OF nation forever one!
