is Just the wrong way to set about disin-

Because Because when you are asleep there is very

"a picture illustrating this article appears
In the Pictorial section)

When the pupils OF the Germantown 1Iigh
School wanted a flag they decided the best
way. the most patriotic way. to get one
would be to do the handiwork themselves.
The one thing that bothered ther when
they made up their minds to get flag was
the money with which to get the material.
This difficulty was met by the generosity
of the Washington Chapter l.. q. $. OF \.
An offer was made to them that. II they
would agree to do all the work on the flag,
the material would be bought for them.
This fitted In exactly with their idea and
the offer was accepted.
Miss Elsie Allen. head of the domestic
science department Of the school herself
picked out the material the chemical labor
atory was used to test the colors. and when
they were found perfect the girls did the
sewing and binding. Then the nag. as far as
It was finished. was taken to the manual
training department and there the students
placed the rings, completing the task.
The principal workers the patriotic
task were Marion Miller. Mildred Beau
champ. Lena Stcen Marion Gill. Margaret
Iotz, Margaret Van Horn. Leonora Dimmick
and Esther Johnston.
