SCOUTS VISIT SUM.
MER CAMP GROUND
New Leader Promises To Be
Immensely Popular

On Friday, April 9th, delega-
tion of Scouts left Wilmington,
under Scout Executive Frank
Greenhawk Big Hawk for Middle
town, to inspect the summer camp
ing grounds. Big Hawk" kept
things moving. During the day he
would have games and scout work;
at night around the campfire he
was always ready with a good
story.
Saturday l went to Middletown
and arrived in camp about ten
thirty. Big Hawk, upon my ar
rival, was figuring out a treasure
hunt for the afternoon. After din
ner he showed US where the trail
started and we were off. The trail
was a very good one and it took
some skill to follow it. We fol-
lowed it to a bridge where we
spent about three-quarters of an
hour hunting around for the
message" which at last Fritz"
found. 1t told us to go to the ap-
pie tree in camp and under the
robins twenty-three PAGES due
north something was to be found.
Here was the message telling us
that the treasure was under a GER
tain boat, and sure enough, there
it was-a fve-pound box of Low
neys.
In the evening, after supper,
Big Hawk told stories until half
past eight, then he played game.
This was called Lighting the Can
de-" and some good stalking was
required to accomplish it.
On Sunday morning we had a
boat ride on the lake. We had a
fine chicken dinner and left camp
about two o'clock for Middletown.
Arriving there we had ice cream,
ETC., and then took the train for
Wilmington.
enjoyed the trip very much and
certainly did like big Hawk" He
is a real scout. He likes the boys
and the boys like him. He will
make real scouts of them. This
is the kind of man we want to con-
duct our summer camp; we know
he will keep things moving.

HOW TO FLY THE
AMERICAN FLAG
The Right Way To Display
Old Glory

Display your fag." is the i'm
pulse of the day. Display your
flag properlyw ought to be the in
junction, for it detracts greatly
from the display to have Old Glory
flung to the breeze improperly.
The flag should not be hoisted
before sunrise nor be allowed up
after sunset. In the navy the col
ors are hoisted, in ordinary cir
cumstances, at 8 A. NJ.
At Morning and Evening Col
ors" at forts and military posts
civilian spectators should stand at
attention and uncover during the
playing of "The Star-Spangled
Banner"
The flag should never be allow
ed to touch the ground and should
never be raised or lowered by any
mechanical appliance.
When the national and State or
other flags are flown together the
national flag should be on the
right side of the building or lawn.
When the flag is used as a ban
ner, that is, suspended on rope
across street, the union, or field,
should fly to the north in streets
running east and west and to the
east in streets running north and
south.
The flag should always be flown
from staff or mast and should
not be fastened to the side of a
building, platform or scaffolding.
In no circumstances should the
flag be draped around pillars, or
against walls or balustrades.
Flags were made originally for the
purpose of being flown and to use
them in any other manner is to
misuse them. If staple decora-
tions are desired, red, white and
blue bunting properly draped will
give better effect than a draped
flag.
The flag should never be used as
a cover over a table, desk or box,

was marked by smuggling on Della

Clancy. The hit by Taggart was
a clean one, while Ferguson's and
Clancy's were made by misjudg-

George Madden showed up better
at the bat than he has done prev
iously. He secured three hits off
of the P. NJ. c. pitchers, which
were two doubles and a triple.

or where anything can be placed
upon it.
When flags are used in an un-
yelling of statute or monument
they should not be allowed to fail
to the ground, but should be car
ried aloft to wave out, forming a
distinctive feature during the re-
mainder of the ceremony.
When the flag is flown at half
staff as sign of mourning it
should be hoisted to full staff at
the end of the funeral.
To fly a flag at half staff it must
first be raised to full staff and
then lowered.
On Memorial Day the flag should
fly at half staff from sunrise to
noon and full staff from noon to
sunset.
There are no Federal or other
laws compelling the observance OF
these rules, the majority of which
are those of the Society of Pa
triotic Decorations and Civic I'M
provement of Washington, as pub
lished in the book THE Stars anc
Stripes" by Charles W. Stewart
superintendent of the Library ant

British prisoners of war from Germany

Both Great Britain and Germany have
sent over representatives to cooperate

A site has been offered by the city
council of The Hague, in the immediate

Following the example set in Switzer-
land, special care is to be devoted to
training men for useful avocations. With
a view to avoiding competition with ma

down by the authorities, the employment
provided probably will take the form
