INTO THE HEART
OF AFRICA
..TAPS" ORIGINATED
DURING CIVIL WAR

In book of personal letters and
memorials printed for circulation
among his friends, Oliver W. Norton,
a veteran of the civil war. who at the
beginning OF his military career was
brigade bu gler to Geenral Daniel But
terfield's command. includes bit OF
historical information that is espe-
cially timely.
General Butterfield had considerable
ability as a musician in addition to
his ability as an army organizer. and
especially delighted in the invention
of buele calls. Perhaps the most in
,eresting as well as the most beauti-
full of these calls is taps. which. ac-
cording to the authoritative story of
the generals bugler. came into ex-
istence in the following manner:
In the month of July 1862 the army
OF the Potomac rested in camp at
Harrison's landing, a point on the
james river in Virginia. 1t was i'm
mediately after the seven days OF
fighting before Richmond. The losses
had been heavy. and the army was re-
cruiting it's strength after the long
struggle.
Day and night the long. winding
valley and the hills on either side
echoed to the bugle calls that marked
the rhythm of the camp life.
The old order for lights out" which
had been inherited from the earliest
West Point memories. sounded a dis
cordant and unsuitable note to the
Of a ronaro1
He Immediately began turning over
in his mind such musical phrases as
seemed to convey the suggestion OF
the peace and quiet of the camp-oi
| rest after labor.
Perhaps the spirit OF the hour in
which that immortal musical phrase
was born might be more perfectly ex-
| pressed as a sense Of Dause-some-
thing related to the words of Shelley:
All is deep silence, like the fearful
calm
That slumbers in the storms portent-
GUS pause.
Having settled upon combination
| of notes that seemed to him to be in
| tune with the sentiment of a sleeping
camp of soldiers, he summoned his
| bugler, Norton. and began to teach
him the new call, whistling the notes
over many times. and correcting theil
time and phrasing. At last. satisfied
with the result, he jotted the notes
down with Il pencil on the back Of ar
envelope.
! That same night Butterfield's ole
brigade was the first to hear the lin
gering refrain Of the new call, and tn,

COST OF FLAGS FOR
u. S. BATTLESHIPS

One of the most interesting corners
of the brooklyn navy yard at this
present busy time is the factory where
the master flagmaker presides. Tn
der his supervision Flags are made for
all Of the American warships on this
side of the world, for Atlantic coast
naval stations and government build
ings upon the eastern seaboard. An
other factory at the Mare island yard
in California does similar duty for Pa
cific coast stations and the vessels in
the Pacific.
Every battleship of Uncle Sans
navy has no less than $500 worth of
flags. ranging from the tiniest pen
nant to the greatest of Old Glories.
More than 40 foreign flags of all the
nations OF the earth must be carried
upon every cruise. These vary from
the banner Of China. with it's fearsome
dragon. to the white elephant on the
flag Of Siam. -
When q battleship is dressed in its
colors the outfit represents $50 flags
of many kinds and sizes. Most of the
larger flags are rs by l3 feet. made Of
the best wool bunting, 10 inches wide.
This bunting is Of the highest quality
obtainable and undergoes severe tests
before it is accepted. But the action
of wind and weather makes the re-
placement of flags n frequent thing.
The flagmaker's art is an exacting
one and many modern descendants OF
, Betsy Ross are employed by the
Brooklyn flag master. Much skin is
required to make such a flag as that
of Venezuela, which has a prancing
horse upon it. A special machine has
been designed for cutting the white
stars used in our own flag. These are
OF eight sizes, and every year many
thousands of such stars go into flags
made by government employees. These
stars vary from two inches to II
inches in diameter.
OF all the flags used in the United
States service that of the president Is
the most difficult to make II is hand
sewed throughout and requires the
steady labor Of a woman for one whole
month. This flag is made in two
| sizes, 10 by IA feet and three by five
| feet. 1t has blue ground with the
United States coat farms in the
| center. The life- sized eagle on the
| flag is the thing that makes it's pro-
duction so delicate n task. Every de-
| tail of the eagle must be worked out
| perfectly, and skill Of high order is
| demanded from the seamstress who is
invested with the dignity of making a
| flag for the president

L. S. Navy Older Than
the Nation

The United States navy has the
unique distinction of being somewhat
Older than the government itself, for
nine months before the Declaration of
Independence congress authorized the
construction of two national cruisers
and appointed committee to pur-
chas" vessels to form the nucleus Of Il
fleet.
Within three months OF its appoint
ment this committee got together Il
armed vessels and appointed a per-
sonnet of officers, among whom was
Paul Jones. During the war of the
Revolution tn" infant navy captured
as many as 500 prizes. but suffered SO

BOOST FOR THE UNIVERSITY.

Among the many lessons to be
learned later from this war is that OF
self dependence in the sense that we
must rely upon ourselves to do many
things that some of us expected the
government would do. We have sud
denly found that the United States.
which we, Of course, think q wonder

trolled along those lines. as indeed it
should not be, for in the long run
under that system liberty and democ-
racy are crushed. then we must learn
to do things for ourselves.
The special thing we have in mind is
that the people of Montana must not
depend upon the state authorities to
keep our university up to its standard
during war time. We would like to see
every loyal Montanan interested in the
welfare of the university to the point
where he or she will make n strong
ship for the coming year. There should
be united drive to send Montana boys
and girls to our own university in
.arger numbers than ever before
known, and to give personal aid to all
| the members of the faculty, who are
| doing their best to promote the in
| ,erests of the university. We feel safe
! in predicting that the future Of the
| university will depend largely upon
the extent of its support in this wal
crisis. We believe tina, at the end OF
| three years there may be very
marked change in the standing of tho
various state universities and colleges
and tina, the ones ranking highest now
may rank lower, because the authori-
ties have permitted the student mem
bcrship to be depleted.
