Kitty was severely scolded by Mar

COLUMBUS DAY
is NO HOLIDAY
AT CAMP DEvENS

Aver, Mass, Oct 12-Soldiers in
training at Camp Devens enjoyed no
holiday today, although the state was
celebrating Columbus day. The regu-
lar routine of training was followed
and few visitors were received.
Colonel Frank Tompkins reviewed
his regiment. the 301st Infantry, COM
posed principally of Boston men, and
Col. J. H. Preston led the 303rd lnfan-
try in reviewing before Brig. Gen.
Fred D. Evans.
The 301st showed results Of the mu-
steal training given it by Vernon
Stiles, the regiment rendering two new
army versions of recent popular songs
with volume of sound that could be
heard through most of the cantonment.
For training the men to be a singing
army Mr. Stiles plans to devote Is
minutes day to each regiment. The
30lst also had its first retreat with its
band playing the national anthem to-
night.

OUR FLAG.
Each State Has Its Own Particular
Star, and How to Find Out Which
II Is

Thirteen stripes and 4S stars. The
stripes represent the original 10 states
and the stars stand for all the states
which go to make up the Union, one
star for each state. You knew this
But perhaps you didn't know that each
star has its own individual and partic-
ular state which it represents and that
its placement on the square OF blue is
carefully and definitely regulated by law
and executive order
In 1912, on the 18th day of October.
the last executive order concerning the
Flag was made and 1t provided for the
specific arrangement of the stars. They
were to be arranged In six horizontal
rows Of eight stars each. Starting in

Rocks Made to Tell Their Own Story.

The walls of the Grand Canyon in
Arizona form a great natural geologic
section. in which each layer of rock is
in its original position relative to those
above and below it. In few other
places. however, is the story of the up
building of the earth's crust so plainly
and impressively told. AS a rule the
geologist who would decipher the
records of the rocks must get a bit
here and bit there He may find the
edges of some beds exposed in a river
bluff and others sticking out on a
steep mountain side. He determines
by fossils or other means the order in
which the beds We're deposited, and by
putting all his information together he
constructs what he calls a columnar
section for the district in which he is
working-that is. a section showing
the order, thickness. and character of
the beds. Such a section discloses the
strata that form the upper part of the
earth's crust at that place. just as a
slice of layer cake shows at a glance
the various layers of which it is COM
posed.
After number of districts in a
region have been studied and their
general columnar sections determined,
the geologic history of the region can
be learned by comparing these sec
tions. just as the engineer who is
drilling for low grade copper ores
compares his drill records and thus
learns the outlines Of the ore body.
Such comparison of the beds at one
place and another shows how certain
beds change in character and thick
ness from place to place or even thin
out and disappear 1t enables the
geologist to draw some conclusions as
to the former distribution of land and
sea. to distinguish the deposits laid
down in deep water from those spread
by rivers over their flood plains and
to reconstruct in imagination the
course Of events at time long before
the beginning of the Grand CANYON.
Such a comparison has recently been
made for Arizona and is published by
the United States Geological Survey.
