Mrs. F. P. Weber. wife of r. P. Weber, sales agent for the National Cash Register company, has just re- turned from Dayton, Ohio, at which place she attended as a delegate the first convention of wives of saleslnen ever held in this country.
 The convention just closed in Day ton Is the most wonderful meeting I ever attended. It's wonderful success proves that it should be copied by all large industrial concerns throughout tho country. The many things which We learned and the splendid lessons presented at the different sessions will enable all of the wives of N C. +. men ln the field to he of great assistance in lncl easing their husbands efficiency and thereby enable them to earn more money.
 T never realized" said Mrs Weber. what great responsibility rested upon the wife of salesman and the extent to which the wife Is either aid ing or hindering him in his efforts to secure business. Home conditions, of course, have a great deal to do with the mental and physical condition in which a salesman meets his trade. The one person responsible for these home conditions is his wife
 Tt was certainly an inspiration to me continued Mrs. Weber. ito attend this convention. l learned more of the inside workings of a big manufactu1 ing industry in the past week than I ever hoped to know in my life We were taught not only how we could be of assistance to our husbands in their territories, but also considerable time was devoted in training us in subjects relative to conservation and We were shown very clearly the emergency which, al the present time confronts our government and taught how we, as housewives. could best be of aSsiet ance in helping our country win this war"

FACTS ABOUT THE AMERICAN FLAG

It may be surprising to know that the American flag is among the oldest flags of the nations, being older than the present British Jack. the French tricolor, the flag of Spain and many years older than the national enl- blems of Germany and Italy. Natur- ally, in an uniformed country, pre- yious to the days of national unity, there were many forms of flags used ty the individual colonies and various military bodies It was not until l777 thata national emblem was adopted hy the continental congress. on July IA. now celebrated throughout the country as Flag Day. Most of us know that the resolution then adopt ed stated: That the flag of the thir- teen states shall be thirteen stripes. alternate red and white; that the un- ion be thirteen stars, white in blue field. representing a new constella- tion." but did not define how many points the stars should have, how they should be grouped, nor did it make any provision for additional stars.
 It has been generally accepted that the American emblem has always re- .ained the general fOrmatiO of the original flag adopted by the contin- ental congress, but series of flags in the National museum shows very well the periodic changes which have talk cn place. From the time of the revO- lution the stars and stripes have var jed in number. After the admission of Vermont and Kentucky into the un- ion in 1792 and 1794, congress en- acted That from and after the first

THE ERRANT APPETITE

Man generally eats what he likes and not what is good for hlm, we have lost the natural instinct for what is good tor us by civilization. Civili- zation. there is not all gain. Even HOW we are getting little belated news about proteins, calories, fats and carbohydrates. and learning that talk ing more fuel for the body than can can be consumed is the cause of many diseases that take heavy toll of hu- man life.
 Do you believe wolf or a coyote could be prevailed upon to eat dill pickle. or a wedge of lemOn-custard pie. or d slab of limburger cheese?
 The human animal, say the diet sharps. often digs his grave with ms teeth. The fellow who is loading up with three heavy meals a day and getting no exercise is laying up the excess fuel in some portion of the body that will. perhaps. after many years, go out on strike, and boy colt the premises.
 No normal wild animal ever sui fered from the gout. Did you ever hear of a rhinoceros or an ornithor- hynchus filling himself up to the ears with highballs or gin fizzes?
 Perhaps, 200 or 300 years from now, the school children will be read ing the sad story of mans benighted condition in the twentieth century.
