adopted by institutions in scores of
cities, employers are afforded a
chance to display to the world their
pride in these young men.
Turnout the cities of the east, and
on the coast, business institutions are
displaying what are known as military
service flags. These banners are COM
prised of a wide red border with a
white field in the center In the white
center are just as many stars as the
institution has furnished men to the
army or navy.
Topeka institutions are taking up
this observance of respect for their
men in military service. Several
churches, including the First Presby
terrain, and business establishments,
including the Topeka State Journal,
have ordered the emblems and short
ly they will appear. The Alpha Delta
fraternity at Washburn has also or
dered one of the banners. 1t will con-
tain scores of stars.
For Families, Also.
The service flags are also for resi-
dence use. Any family that has
member in camp or in foreign service
has the right to display the emblem
with the appropriate number of stars
in the white center. The regulation
size of the residence flags are 36x24
inches. The white field in the center
is 22x11 inches. The blue stars de-
noting the number of members the
displayers have in military service are
four inches across.
For institutional use the flag is

simply enlarged proportionateIy in or
der to provide for the number of stars
inserted.
In the last few days the flags have
appeared in windows of several To-
peka residences. This number will
undoubtedly be increased rapidly. It
will remain for the business, religious,
fraternal and other institutions to
take the matter up and every institu-
ton should do so. 1t is a badge of
honor for the institution and it I'M
doubtedly will make the Sammies for
which stars are inserted feel heart
ened and encouraged when they learn
the boss at home is SO proud of
them.
The State Journals service flag will
contain a dozen or more stars. the

men to the cause of democracy.
