EVERY STATE HAS ITS STAR
Is Definitely Regulated by Law
and Executive Order.

Did you know that every star In our
American flag has Its own individual
and particular state which it repre-
sents and that its placement on the
square of blue Is carefully and def
nitely regulated by law and executive
order?
In 1912 on October 20, the last ex-
ecutive order concerning the flag was
made, and it provided for the specific
arrangement of the stars, says the De-
troit Free Presss They were to be
arranged in six horizontal rows Of
eight stars each. Starting in the
right upper left-hand corner and plae
ing each row from left to right, the
star corresponding to each state is
named in the order of the states rati-
f1cation of the constitution.
Thus star No. 1, in the upper left
hand corner, Is for Delaware. Star
No 4S, in the lower right hand cor
ner, is for Arizona.
The following list will show you
at a glance exactly which star is
yours:
First row-No..1, Delaware; 2, Penn
sylvania; 8, New Jersey; 4, Georgia;
s, Connecticut; 6, Massachusetts; z,
Maryland; g. South Carolina.
Second row--No. 9, New Hampshire !;
10, Virginia II, New York; II, North
Carolina; 10, Rhode Island; Ia, YER
mont; Is, Kentuckys 16, Tennessee.
Third row-No. II, Ohio; 1S, Louis
lana; 19, Indiana; 20, Mississippi; 81;
Illinois; %, Alabama; %, Maine, "a,
Missouri.
Fourth Row-No> 25, Arkansas; 20,
Michigan; 81, Florida; %, Texas; 90,
Iowa; 80, Wisconsin,; 81, California !;
80, Minnesota.
Fifth row-No. 33, Oregon; "a, Kan

HOW GREAT WARS ARE WON
Il 10 Very Rarely That Conflicts Are
Victorious Because of Superior
Valor, Says Writer.

The vulgar Idea of war is that the
victory is won by superior valor or
other moral virtue, writes II. Side
botham in the Atlantic. This, however,
has very rarely been the case; al
most all Western nations, at any rate,
are equally brave. though the valor Of
some excels In obstinacy and endur-
ance and Of others In daring and elan.
BY far the commoner causes Of VIC
tory and defeat are political or tech
meal.
Sometimes Ito take the domain
Of tactics) 1t Is q new weapon that
wins victory on the battlefield, or at
any rate contributes to the ease with
which 1t is won; sometimes, as in
the Roman and In Frederick's armies,
1t is superior discipline, greater physi-
cal fitness, and practice in maneuver
that win the. victory. More often it
is some new formation of line. Those
tactics commonly succeed best of all
which are both new and adapted to
the genius Of the people using them.
Thus the Beers in the South African
war developed highly original sys-
tenn of mounted infantry tactics by
simply using their horses in war time
as they did going about their ordinary
business on their wide sheep farms,
and similarly in the American wars
the 'woodsmen made ideal skirmishers.

WE MUST BACK UP.OUR BOYS

HERE is, and Of course can be, no real dir
ference of opinion concerning the duty of
the citizen to discharge to the last limit what
ever obligation the war lays upon him.
Our young men are being taken by the hun
dreds of thousands for the purpose Of wag'rg
this war on the Continent Of Europe, possibly
Asia or Africa, or anywhere else that they NAV
be ordered. Nothing must be left undone for
their protection They must have the bes'
army, ammunition, and equipment that mono
can buy They must have the best traininc
and the best officers which this great countr>.
can produce. The dependents and relative
they leave at home must be provided for, no,
meagerly, but generously 80 far as money can
provide for them
I have done some of the hardest work in
my life during the last few weeks on the rev
enue bill to raise the largest possible amount
Of money from surplus incomes and war profits
for this war and upon other measures to pro
vide for the protection of the soldiers and thei,
families. That was not able to accomps'
more along this line is great disappointment
to me. I did all that could, and shall con
tinue to fight with all the power at my com
mand until wealth is made to bear more Of the
burden Of this war than has been laid upon ii
by the present Congress- From speech of
Senator La Toilette In United States Senate.)

Time deals cruelty with most young

LIGHT YEARS,

A stars light means the length of
time as measured by our years that Il
particular stars light takes in reaching
the earth. Light travels at the rate of
$4,000 miles a second. yet even at that
speed some of the fixed stars are so
distant from the earth that it takes
their light several years to reach MS.
The sun is 93,O0O,0nO miles from the
earth and its light reaches in less than
nine minutes. but the light from Sirius.
sometimes called the Dog star is eight
years in reaching ns. The pole star.
or the north star has n A. light year,
that is, its light is Al years in reaching
the earth. If one OF those inconceivably
