Il seems that the order commanding
soldiers in the French army to shave
on their boards is not due to prejudice
uguinst those natural adOrnments. but
TO the fact that they prevent gas masks

responsible for additions to the mortal
ity lists. There Is a reason for every
thing, and 1t Is the aim OF intelligent

FLAG ETIQUETTE

In displaying flags or bunting, the following customs
should be observed:
I. The proper time for raising or putting out a flag
is sunrise or after, never before.
g The flag should always be lowered at sunset.
3. A flag should never be allowed to trail or lie on
the ground and should always be taken in during
stormy weather.
l. When the flag is raised at ceremonies, every
one present should stand, face the flag, and salute
with the right hand raised to the forehead.
s.. When the flag passes in parade, spectators
should stand, men and boys with hats removed.
6. When any other flag is displayed with our
national colors, old Glory" must always be on the
right or above.
z. As a sign of mourning, the flag should first be
hOisted to the top of the mast for a moment, then
lowered halfway and left at half-mast. At sunset the
flag should first be hoisted to the top of the mast
before lowering to the ground.
8. The flag should never be used for a cover or IN
any position where other objects are placed on it.
9. Flags should always be treated with reverence
and carefully put away when not in use.

or building the blue field should always be toward the
north or toward the east.

rise and stand until the song is finished. 1t is proper
to face the musicians or those singing during this
ceremony.
I2. When red, white and blue bunting is used for
decorating, the red should be at the top.

THE sTAR-sPANeLED BANNER

o! say, can you see, by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the t%wlhght's last
cleaning
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the
perlous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched were so CALAMITY
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still
there;
OF say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
Ger the land of the free, and the home of the brave?
On that shore dimly seen through the mists of the deed,
Where the foes naughty host in dread silence
reposes,
What is that which the breeze, DER the towering steep,
AS it ftfully blows, now conceals, now discloses?
Now it catches the CLEAN of the mornings first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines on the stream;
IT'S the star-spangled banner; o long may it wave
Ger the land of the free, and the home of the brave!
And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battles confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps
pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave;
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
Ger the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
o! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved homes and the wars desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued
land
Praise the power thatha made and preserved usa
nation.
Then conquer we must, for our cause it is lust,
And this be our motto-'In God is our trust:
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
Ger the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
