POLICEMAN SUSPECTS
DARK, DEEP-LA|D PLOT
Reporter Gets in Bad for Counting
the Canal Boats at George
town Port. -.

The Washington police are on the
1oo in the search for spies. but some
times their vigilance causes unpleas-
ant moments to sure enough Ameri-
cans This is a story of the expert
ence Of reporter for The star. who
because he was fat and solid look
ing, was taken for a German plotter,
and it required several minutes
of earnest argument to satisfy the
policeman of the reporters honesty of
purpose when he stopped near the big
power plant in Georgetown and looked
at IL.
The reporter was in that section of
the city on a special job and while
there II occurred to him that there
might be a story in the arrival of the
first boats of the season by way OF
the Chesapeake and Ohio canal. with
coal from Cumberland Armed with
a bag of peanuts. he walked down one
of the streets to the waterway where
there is a bridge. in the rear of one Of
the big power plants.

this symbol Of democracy may have had
an aristocrauc origin. The Stars and
Stripes were first raised by Washington
at cambridge. Mass, January 2. .1716.
Another explanation of the origin OF
the design is that the stars replaced the
Br1tish crosses in the British flag. and it
IS said that In very old flags the stars
are arranged in peculiar way, suppos-'
edly for this purpose

PATRIOTISM REFLECTED
INQUIRIES ABOUT FLAG
Much Information Regarding Uses
and Customs Unearthed by
Information Bureau.
Civilian and Military Salute-How
Cid Glory Originated-Bases
for Design.

The quickening of the pulse of pa
triotism is reflected in the correspond
ence of The Washington Evening Star
Information Bureau in a flood of in
quiries about the American flag. A
really remarkable collection of infor-
nation regarding the use and history
of the flag and laws concerning 1t has
been made in answering these, and
some of it is here briefly set forth.
With regard to the use of the flag.
if you hang it from a window it should
be suspended by the same edge which
is ordinarily attached to the pole. with
the canton or blue field at the left,
and if two flags are hung together the
cantons should be placed together. II
a flag is draped across the street the
blue canton should be up. The rules
formulated for the use of the flag by
the Sons of the American Revolution
provide that it should not be hoisted
before sunrise nor left up after sunset.
Civilians Should Uncover.
At retreat" and sunset civilian spec
tators should stand at attention and
they should uncover during the play
ing of The Star Spangied Banner.
Military spectators are required by
regulation to stand at attention and
salute. When The national colors are
passing on parade or in review the
spectator should. if walking, halt and
if sitting. arise and stand at attention
and uncover. During the playing of
the national hymn at retreat the
flag should be lowered but not allowed
to touch the ground. when the ma
tional flag and a state flag fly together
the national flag should be at the right
The flag is dropped to half mast as
a sign of mourning. and is placed with
the canton downward as signal OF
distress.

Alas, He Wore No Badge.

You are a reporter? Where's your
badge" was the next vociferous de-
mSnd
Now the reporter had been in the
business for a long time and had not
worn reporters badge for many
years. In fact. he had put it carefully
away to be returned TO the city editor
when demand should be made for il.
He tried to explain about the badge,
but the policeman was suspicious. Re
porters always had badges and this
reporter should have one.
Finally. after producing letters ad-
dressed TO him at The Stars newsroom
he was rot taken to the station. but
the policeman's last words were:
Don't you come prowling about here
at night" He was still suspicious
YES. sir. replied the reporter. and
you may be sure he will do as the po-
liceman says.

Halted by Stern Voice.

After standing for a few seconds and
making a mental note of the canal
boats he saw, he turned and was about
to walk up the street. when a stern
voice hailed: Hi. there" The reporter
turned and saw a policeman coming to-
ward him.
Did YOU speak to me- inquired the
reporter. very politely.
Yes. I spoke to you. What are you
doing here"
Now the reporter is used to police
men. and, while the question struck
him as being odd. he thought maybe
he had at some time met the police
man. who wished to extend the glad
hand to him. But nothing of the kind.
He was suspected of some deep. dark.
desperate desire to blow up the power
piant-with his bag of peanuts, prob
ably.
The reporter stated he was there
10 look at the canal ami the boats.
and humbly begged the pardon of the
policeman if he had done anything
wrong.

than s5.O00.0oO at present prices.

purpose of removing dangerous conditions
and installing adequate safeguards in all
of these properties throughout the cotton

WILL ORGANIZE CONTRASTING
ASSOCIATIONS IN COUNTY

For the purpose of organizing a
number of cow-testing associations in
Whatcom county, County Agricul-
tural Agent H. B. Carroll. accompani-
ed by o. e Gibson of the state depart
ment of dairying, will make a tour
of the community between June 20
and 80 With an assessment of but
$3.50 for a COW the association will
provide for the inspection OF each
animal upon the books once month.
That inspection will mean the
weighing of one days food and the
corresponding amount of milk given
by the animal during the same day,
and a test for butter fat. Such In
spection will be made by a dairy
expert employed by the association.
Books will be kept upon each COW,
which will be balanced at the end of
the year and the result given to the
farmer. Such records will readily
establish whether or not the farmer is
expanding more money for feed than
the COW is returning in milk.
County Agriculturist Carol states
that in order to establish an associa-
ton which will be really successful.
it is desirable to have between 500
and $50 animals registered in each
one. That number of animals at
S1.5O each guaranteeing the dairy
expert a salary of SIS month.
