main objection is that when draped
against q wall or stand the fabric
| usually becomes stained, warped or
mangled by breezes and by splinters
from the wood. Whenever possible,
the flag should be flown from staff
or mast so that it may be as free as
the people it represents.
So far as can be learned, no Durop-
can country permits its national en-
blem to be draped as decoration.
This may be, however. because 10
other flag lends itself so nicely to this
purpose as does that Of the United
States. Our flag should not be used
as a cover over a table, box or desk,
nor placed where anything can be
placed or set upon 1t.
When the national flag and other
flags are flown together, the former
should be always on the right.
When the flag is flown at half
staff as a sign of mourning, 1t should
be hoisted to full staff" at the con-
clusion of the funeral. When the nag

That the federal officials here con.

Mayor Thompson has said that he
has read the constitution Fleming

| The position of the union-or

flag when not attached to staff.
there is endless, diversity Of opinion.
There are no official regulations as
to the matter and there Is no accept
ed opinion even as to the prevailing
custom. Army officers themselves do
not agree, some holding that it is the
best army custom TO keep the union
at the left as one faces the flag,
whether it is hung from the front OF
a building either horizontally or
vertically. This, however, does not
agree with what appears to be the
growing custom to hang the flag with
pass. the union being hung to tho

NEW YORK, April 30.-Baseball =
to use the words of Ban johnson
will be honored and glorlf1ed by a
war call to its young men who are
eligible to military service, according
to present plans of the war depart
ment. Some one asked Ban If base
ball would suffer through .selectiva
conscription, and Ban instantly re-
scented the word.
Approximately 214 men in both pig
leagues will be drafted II the eau
goes out before the end OF the sea-
son. One hundred and thirteen OF
these will come from the American
league and one hundred one from
Governor Tener's circuit. The fact
that the American league clubs, foi'
the most part, are being drilled con
stantly will have little effect, for what
they are learning in baseball drilling
camps would be only a beginning to
the instructions they would receive
in a big army encampment. The
only hope for respite seems to lie
in the fact that the mobilization at
the camps probably will not begin
until September, when the baseball
season is rapidly drawing near the
end. A month might be granted the
men to finish and then report. The
worlds series might suffer badly.
Among the stars of the game who
are believed to be eligible to service
are Benny Kauff, of the Giants;
Howard Ehmke, of the Detroit Tigers;
Dave Davenport and Allen Sothoron,
OF the Browns; Joe Judge and Harry
Harper, OF the Senator's; Jessi5
Barnes, Walter Maranville, Arthur
Nehf and Bill James, Of the Braves;
Leon Galore, of the Dodgers; Reuth-
er and Workman. of the Cubs; Cuto,

ed, of the Phillies; Bigbee, Baird,
Fischer, Grimes and Warner, of the
Pirates; Hornsby, Meadows, NORTH,

But while Russia is celebrating her

Strange stories are told by Russian
soldiers back from the front of how
the enemy received the news of Rus
sia's overthrow of autocracy. One
soldier told me today of the "stran5-
est sight he ever saw"
I'VE have discovered now that the
Germans on our front don't like to
attack u.s. he said. Under red flag
last Monday, German officers climbed
out Of their trenches. The German

But we likewise hoisted our red flag.
When the Germans saw we were de-
liberately withholding our fire from
their ranks, under the same red flag
as our own forces, the soldiers them
selves stopped still and turned back
to their own trenches. They aban-
doned their officers. The officers
stood there in No Mans Land alone,
urging them to attack, but without
avail. Finally they, too, went back
disgustedly. Not a shot was fired,
not German soldier harmed in that
death territory.
However, we mistrust red flags
borne by Germans and Austrians.
Now we fire with all our strength on
such approaching enemy forces.
I'VE have proved our right to the
red fag-now let the Germans and
the Austrians prove their right to it.

You cannot overestimate the impor-
lance of keeping the blood free Of i'm

heart is constantly pumping this vital
fluid to all parts of the body, you can
easily see that any impurity in the

Any slight disorder or impurity that
creeps into the blood is a source of
danger, for every vital organ of the
body depends upon the blood supply
to properly perform it's functions.
Many painful and dangerous dis
