lied to a large extent by realizing
sales from those-en the long side who

was much to the liking of the floor

Dinners to please the Eye.

I. Toxic Advertiser: In the matter
Of eating, it is agreed that the Jap

nutritive quality. 1t is not mex
pensive; Japanese dinners are elab-
crate in preparation, artistic IN pre-
sentation, but for satisfying the in
ner man are far inferior to European
or even Chinese cooking. The chief
chara cteristio Of purely Japanese
dinner is to please the eye, not the
palate or stomach. It is national
Joke that one must eat a meal before
going to or after returning from a
Japanese dinner. Oh. how much Ia
bor and expense Is lavished on a
eocbiso (entertainmenD to make it
nice to look at. This is all sheer
waste and luxury and is to be con-
demned. Providence has kindly put
In the mower of every Japanese to
live in the most economical manner,
so the Japanese dinner is blas2heln-
Gus abuse of providential beneficence.
II is an anachronistic relic of feudal-
ian reminiscent of the morbid tastes
Of idle. luxurious over-lords. A mon
strous fact is that these customs are
not going out of fashion.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD, June Frances light
ing men want to see soon as possible
the arrival here of those 10000 avia-
tors which dispatches say are part OF
Americas first plans for winning OF
the war. In the view of the men in
the trenches and those who fight IN
the air, the United States could make
no more effective military contribu-
ton than big fleet OF aeroplanes.
But the aeroplanes must be Of the
latest type. They must be superior to
the German planes. They must equal
the latest model of French aircraft.
1t is nothing less than suicide for an
aviator to take the air against the
Germans, less he has plane capable
Of almost Incredible speed and ease OF
handling.
Observation planes are slower than
the fighting type and they are abso-
lutely essential to success in artillery
ranging and spying. But these slow
machines must be protected by fight
ers. II there were no "aviateurs de
chasse" there would be no observation
planes at work.

When the "Star Spangled Banner,

all should arise, stand still until the

musicians or those singing.
The flag should not be hoisted or
disnlayed out doors before sunrise
or allowed to remain out after sun
set.
When the flag Is raised at cere-
monies all present should stand at
attention and salute with right mana
raised to forehead over right eye.
When the flag is passing on parade
or review, the spectator, whether man
or boy, should uncover and stand or
If sitting, should arise and uncover.
It is an unwritten law in the navy
that the flag is never to be washed.
as it is always to be considered i'm

allowed to trail or lay. on the ground
or be left out over night or be dis
played in stormy weather.
When any other flag is displayed
with our national flag, Old Glory
must always be on the right or
above. The only exception is the
church flag of our navy This flag
on a naval ! vessel is hoisted above
Old Glory, only while divine service
is going on, and it typifies God above
country.
When used for mourning on a
staff or pole the flag should be
hoisted to top mast for moment,
then lowered to the position of half
mast and at sunset the flag should
be hoisted to the top and then lower

stars should be at the head.

Baseball In War Time.

Chicago Tribune: For the present
it may be all right that baseball con-
tinue. At least it is not mandatory
that it cease and that the healthy
bodies on the field and the healthy
bodies in the stands and bleachers go
about some other business, but it may
be just as well to suggest to the
American people that professional
baseball is likely to be an incongruity
next year.
An American newspaper will sacri-
fee a great deal Of self-respect If 1t
has to print, or does print. box scores
and casualty lists in the same issue.
Baseball already is getting on the

know that catastrophe times are

THE ETIQUETTE OF OLD GLORY

Old Glory may be displayed out
a holiday. The flag should never be
used as cover for deck. box or
table where anything can be placed
on it. The only object that can with
propriety be laid on Old Glory is the
bible, thus signifying the submission
of the nation the flag represents to
God
The flag should never be placed
below a person sitting, always above.
It is questionable even If 1t is proper
to wave Old Glory to salute anyone.
but instead the flag is always to re-
ceive the salute. On shore the flag
is never dipped.
The flag should never be placed
upside down. This is recognized as
a signal of distress and must never
be made use Of only in case OF ex-
IRENE danger.
Love Old Glory, our nations flag,
so dearly that you under all circum-
stances will help those in authority
to uphold the honor of our flag and
the republic 1t represents.
Old Glory should be in every
home and preserved and cared for
like the photograph of dear parent
and placed after using It in a safe
place, with reverence; and when Old
Glory should be placed in glass
case or vase.
A recognized salute to the flag and
one that should be encouraged
throughout the land is, when at atten-
ton the following words be quietly
spoken: 81 pledge my allegiance to
the republic for which it stands; one
nation. indivisible, with liberty and
Justice to all

Wheat-While the Price Currents
acreage figures on spring wheat We're

to do with a firmer tone in our mar

wheat crop at 1856 million bushels

bushels Should the war continue
through another winter, these figures
would, of course, be regarded as bull
ish So long, however, as the buy

restricted, 1t makes no difference
what economic conditions obtain, nor
whether production figures are bull
ish or beartsh.

factor In the strength. After the
long decline, a rally like that Of to-
day is not surprising and will prob
ably continue further. 1t does not,
however, seem reasonable to expect
bull market from these levels at this
season of the year. when crop condi-
tions are likely to improve. and what
ever surplus corn there is In the
country will be seeking a market.
Oats-Snow's figures on oats were
disappointing to the bears, who
caused sharp rally ip covering their
lines. Cash demand was pretty well
maintained, sample sales being quoted
about zee higher. Crop reports are
generally good, and the situation does
not seem to warrant permanent bull
market.
