by two policemen. who brusquely de-

from his nag pole. under the Star

blue in three vertical stripes. the tri-
color of France. but the patriotic
guardians of the law had called in

cred the same respect will be observed
as when The Star Spangled Banner"
is played by the band.
The flag should be hoisted at sunrise
and lowered at sunset. This may not
be observed to the letter, but at any
rate the flag should not be allowed to
remain hoisted all night. The nag
should never be allowed to touch the
ground when lowered. but should be
received in the arms Of the men at
tending the halyards.
When the flag is flown from a stan.
the union or canton should be at tho
top, and army regulations provide that
1t shall be hoisted and lowered from
the leeward side of the staff-that is
the side opposite that from which the
wind Is blowing. Custom provides that
any representation OF the nag shall
show the union at the left. When the
staff projects horizontally from build
ing and the flag hangs perpendicular
the same relative position OF the union
Is preserved, the union is near the end
of the STAFF. on the side of the greatest
distance from the building.

Children in the public schools are
taught the psychology of the flag and

the flag when going into his post. and
when the flag is raised or lowered ofh-

the military men give the military
salute. and a naval officer going on board
