A very clear exposition of the
character OF the strike breaker is
disclosed in an article in the Kan
sas City Post of August Ia The
reporter of The Post who trailed the
strike breakers from Kansas City
to ST. Louis on their return trip
from the Kansas City street rail

strike breakers were supplied by
the Berghoff & Waddell 'detect-

breaking contractors. There were

Taking Census Of Young
Deaf Men for Service

In the hope ex-president Theodore
Roosevelt may accept their offer to re-
cruit for his division a regiment of
deaf soldiers, the National Association
of the Deaf, through I. A. Lindstrom
OF 27O5 Cherry avenue, is taking a
census of able bodied young deaf men
here who are eager to defend their
country.
Material for this proposed regiment
of silent fighters can be drawn upon
from men in all walks of life, for deaf
men are editors, architects, ministers
and educators, as well as skilled labor
ers, and all are eager to enlist if the
chance comes. The deaf of other
belligerent countries have exploded the
idea that this class of citizens is not
fit for military service. Given a com
manding officer familiar with their
mode of communication, the deaf can
follow orders even better than the
average soldier, it is said, since the air.
splitting below of artillery has no eff.
feet whatever upon the issuing of com
mands. 1t is also claimed deaf marks.

the fighting forces Of the country.
An interesting and but little known
feature of the enlisted man chances
for promotion in the navy is the ap-
pointment to the naval academy. The
law provides that each year 100 enlist
ed men may be appointed to Annapolis,
The applicant must be under twenty
years of age at the time Of appoint
ment and must have been in the navy
at least one year. Entrance is obtained
by competitive examination which is
held on board ship, and when the men
are graduated from the academy they
receive commissions in the navy.
Health Cared For.
Special attention is paid to the good
health of the men in the service. Upon
arrival of the recruit at the training
station he is placed under observation
for three weeks during which period
he is carefully watched for symptoms
of any possible outbreak of contagious
disease. However, during this time he
is not idle. He is under the direct in
struction of chief petty officer and
is taught how to care for his physical
self and to mend and wash his clothes
A chaplain advises him as to his spir
itual welfare. He is assigned to studies
which are compulsory. The recruit:

Patriotic Service at
Congregational Church

Another splendid patriotic service
has been arranged for the Sunday
evening meeting at the First Congre'
gatonal church. In addition to the
song service and special music by the
choir a patriotic address will be de-
livered by Lieut.. Commander Blackburn
in charge of the naval recruiting in
Portland. Commander Blackburn is
no stranger in Salem as he has spoken
to the students of the High school sew
eral times. He will speak particularly
on Sunday night concerning the work
of the first line of defense. His ad-
dress will be of great interest and
members of the patriotic societies are
cordially invited to attend.
He will bring with him a film which
has recently been received from Wash
ington, D. c., from the U. 5, Govern
ment on the subject America Prepar-
ing The Heilig Theatre in Portland
was packed to the doors when this film
was exhibited few days ago. 1t will

his clothes and the camp. Breakfast

those who either are deficient in drills

have been accepted for the service.
A recent statement concersing re-
cruiting, called attention to the fact
that every man, no matter how keen
his patriotism, must reach a certain
standard before being allowed to serve
his country. No weaklings mentally or
physically, will be accepted. The re-
cruit must be between the ages of eigh-
teen and thirty, of sound health, good
teeth and above all an American citi-
zen of good morals. Acceptance in the
navy not only is badge of rugged
courage but the best medical certificate
on earth.

on September 1914, 1914, and was the
inspiration of Francis Scott Keys i'm

also known as the "Fort McHenry
Flag is of the 15-star and-stripe type,
adopted after the admission of Vermont
and Kentucky by an act approved by
President Washington, January Is,
1894. The "Star Spangled Banner"
measures about 80 feet square though it
was probably somewhat longer, and is
much battered and torn, with one star
missing, possibly shot away. This great
historic souvenir of the war of 1912,
has lately been preserved by quilting
on heavy lines and will ever remain
one of the eountry's most precious re-
lies.
Once Had is Stripes.
From 1875 this form continued as the
standard flag until President Monroe IS
administration, when congress enacted
that it should hereafter be of l3 stripes,
with the addition of a star for each
new state, commencing July 4, 1918.
1t seems that for many years the army
did not carry the Stars and Stripes in
battle though it had been in general use
as garrison flag. The land forces dur
ing this period and before it carried
what was known as the national cOlors
or standards, of blue with the arms of
the United States emblazoned thereon,
comprising an eagle surmounted by a
number of stars, with the designation
of the body OF the troops. In 1884 the
war department regulations gave the ar
tillery the right to carry the Stars and
stripes, the infantry and cavalry still
using the national standards and those
remained the colors of the infantry un-
til 1S41, and of the cavalry until 1887,
when that branch of the army was or
dered to employ the Stars and Stripes.
From its adoption in l777, however, ma
val vessels universally displayed the ma
tional flag.
! Many styles and forms of the stars
and Stripes were in existence up to 1912
and it was not until during President
, Taft IS administration that definite spe-
cifications were drawn up. An execu-
tive order dated October 20, 1912, tend
ed to standardize the "Stars and
Stripes" and yet further specifications
in sizes were found necessary by Presi-
dent Wilson, only last year.
Carried in Mexican War.
The history Of our flag indicates that
the Stars and Stripes was not carried
by our troops in battle until the period
of the Mexican war, 1S46-1S47. Several
flags of this period are in the museum
collections. Among them is flag of
lS stars and stripes carried throughout
the war by the battalion of volunteers
which enlisted from Maryland, and the
District of Columbia, and the flag of
Company 1, Fourth regiment of Indian
infantry, of IS stripes, with an eagle
in the field. Ten flags OF the collection
pertain to the civil war.
/ Other flags include some of the
Spanish American war, a flag owned
by Admiral Charles Wilkes, U. S. navy;

The first display of the Stars and
Stripes is believed to have been on Aug.
&, 1777. when the new flag was hoisted
over the troops at Fort Schuyler, Rome,
New York. John Paul Jones, is said
to have been the first to fly the Stars

Of the revolution,
1t has been well said that our national
emblem stands for American ideals and
ideas-it is not the flag of family OF
royal house, but the flag of the whole
people. 1t is the emblem of liberty and
freedom, being Indicative of individual
Independence and yet symbolic oe un-
Iited and closely bonded people, Far
from being merely painted and dyed
cloth, it represents the constitution and
government of hundred million free
people, it stands for the people them
selves and records the history of their
nation.
Display Historic Emblem.
Tn the national museum at Washing
ton, among the many other patriotic
relics and emblems, are displayed 80
historic American flags. On the labels,
the history of each is recorded; some
came from the field of battle; number
from famous sea fights, and others
were flown over garrisons or forts by
distinguished American Officers.
The series of flags show very well the
periodic changes which have taken place
in our flag. From the time of the revo-
luton the Stars and Stripes in the flag
have varied, There were l3 stars dur
ing the revolution, Is in the war of
1912, 2s in the Mexican war, 1895 in
the civil war, 45 in the Spanish war,
and 4S today. The stripes were chang
ed first from Is to Is, and then back
again to Is. 1t may be surprising to
know that our national flag is among
the Oldest flags Of the nations, being
older than the present British Jack
the French Tri,color, and the flag OF
Spain, and many years older than the
flags of Germany and Italy, some OF
which are either personal flags or those
of the reigning families.

renly in the varied breezes of our spa

dignified, yet deep and lasting patriot
ism of the American people. Be this
cur native land or adopted country, we
pledge allegiance to that flag, uncover
as we pass, and wear it in miniature as
a token of our loyalty. And yet what
do we know about its origin, its mean
