to know but possibly does not, the
American Union Jack is 4S white stars

blue.
The major part OF the flagmakers'
work here is devoted to repairing flags
made either In the United States gov
eminent plants or bought from the
British lag factory on shore here.
The work of keeping in repair the
thousands of signal and other flags
used by the American destroyers keeps
several men busy nearly all their duty
hours. There are no facilities on the
destroyers for this work.

BOARD MAY NOT WAIVE
SINGLE TEACHERS RULE
Edmunds Offers Little Hope to
Girls Who Would Marry
Soldiers

The right Of school teachers to marry
their swcCthearts before letting them go into
the trenches and retain their jobs will prob
ably be denied. according to Henry r. Ed
munds, president Of the Board Of Education.
petition, asking that the rule which
obligos teachers to resign Immediately upon
being married be suspended during the war
was presented by the Philadelphia Teach
ers' Association at meeting Of the Board
Of Education yesterday
The Philadelphia normal school girls, Mr..
Edmunds said may innocently prevent
favorable action.
There are approximately $50 normal
school girls waiting for Jobs" Mr., Edmunds
explained, "What Is going to become Of
them If we allow married women to retain
their positions? The Board Of Education
counts on a certain number Of its teachers
marrying each year to make way for the
graduates Of the normal school,
Tho situation as unfolded at the meet
ing yesterday and as explained by the
board Of managers Of the Teachers Asso-
citation today is this:
A number of letters have been received
by the board from teachers who had made
plans to marry this summer and whose
fiances have now enlisted or wish to enlist.
According to the rule If the teachers marry
they must give up their positions. They
have asked that the rule be set aside.
The point made by the association is
that women who can support themselves
are the ones that really should marry In
wartime.
Considering the patriotic point at issue.
Mr. Edmunds said the question would most
certainly be carefully dealt with, but on
the whole, a regular order of things was
preferable to the irregular. A committee
will act upon the question soon.
The Teachers Association is confident
that the petition will be acted upon favor
ably, but I'm case It is not emergency meas
ures Of some sort will be adopted. Thomas
Shallcross promises his affirmative vote.

The Opner and the Architect

TNHERE was once n man who built n
house without seeking the services Of
an architect. Many things went wrong. and
finally he was not pleased with tho finished
house
There was another man, n friend Of tho
hrst one. who, wishing TO profit by the
others mistake. secured the services Of an
architect But still there were many trou-
oles' and finally his house pleased him no
better than the other pleased its owner.
From such instances we can conclude that
whatever procedure is followed there is
always chance Of failure, but just as sure
ly there is always a chance Of success. Let
us try and discover how TO secure for our
selves this success. considering first the
things which constitute the successful house

consideration, an owner wants house
which Is built carefully and of good ma

Then he wants a house which is planned

will wish that they be used artistically.
He will want his friends TO say that he

These are the three essential points which
the average owner has In mind when pass

that should he design and build for him

were no architects to design houses. but
