First brush the fur and comb once or

coed. Shake out and hang up in the air.
Then cover with finely powdered starch and
let lie for several days. Shake out brush

The Etiquette of the Flag

Now that Moscow citizens are
planning to put an American flag
IN a 60-foot pole on every square
IN the city the following from the
Literary Digest will be of interest
and value.
When Dewey's fleet returned
to New York after the Battle of
Manila Bay, Swedish janitor in
a large department store hoisted
an American flag with the Union
down, and flew the signal of dis
tress throughout the celebration.
A patriotic citizen would hardly
have made so fragrant an error,
but'in displaying flags or bunting
there are many fine points to be
observed, remarks Harry Lee
King, deputy Commissioner of
Boy Scouts. In the New York
Tribune he gives these rules for
flying the national colors:
l. The proper time for raising
the flag is sunrise or after, never
before.
2. The flag must be lowered at
sunset.
3. In draping the flag against
the side of a room or building, the
proper position for the blue field
is toward the north or toward the
east.
1t is a mark of disrespect to
allow the flag to fly throughout
the night. There is no uniform
usage in the display of bunting,
but it is just as easy to hang it in
the correct fashion. When build
ings are decorated in bunting
draped horizontally, t h e e d
should be at the top, according to
a letter from the war department
published in h9 New York Sun:
War department,
Office of Quartermaster-G General
Washington, D. C.
There are no regulations pre-
scribing the method of utilizing
bunting for decorative purposes,
but G ,od taste requires that the
ordt r shall be red at the top. fol-
lowed by white, then blue, in &C,
cordance with the heraldic co!ors
of the national flag.

convention met yesterday at the Man

Irish public boards had been invited
to send delegates, but two hundred OF
them declined to do so.
The attendance was large, includ-
ing, unexpectedly, numerous priests,
but no prominent Irish public men
tool; part in the proceedings. The
convention proclaimed Ireland 4 sep

The Dublin Trades Council, which

was announced in Vienna dispatches
received here. Both are members OF

Washington, April 20.-Great sig

signations, since the ministers were
members of German parties. "
1t is possible that the German and
Austrian censorship is cnncealing con-
siderable anti-German feeling in Aus
tria and that the designations oil two
men belonging to German political
parties is due to this cause.
Other reports, from sources nas
affected by the Tcutonic censorship,
persisted in rumors that Austria IS
seeking a separate peace.

sisted yesterday that Austria, Bull

mands Definite Contraband Stand
Madrid, April 20 The situation
regarding the war is increasing in
completely. No further step will be
taken by the government, however,
until Germany's answer to the Spar
ish note is received. It is known that
Count de Romanones is very strong
in his attitude and will not accept an
evasive answer.
The feeling in Spain about the Ger
man interruption of trade with the
United States is strong and It Is
thought that if Germany recants d
the San Fulgcncio case and makes
adequate concessions regarding Span
fsh trade in North America a settle
ment may be reached.
This, however, is considered unlike
ly, since Gernany's offer so far re-
garding the United States trade IS
that American imports into Spain
will be authorized even on contra
band on condition that tic contra
band goods do net leave Spain aga:n,
while Spanish exports to the United
States will be subject to price regula-
tons.
An cutlery has been raised that the
commercial agreements into which
Spain is now entering with other M
tions will seriously prejudice her net
trality, but the government denies
this IS so.
Meanwhile Spanish mission repre-
senting manufacturers, business :Ecn
and financicrs is about to 60 to Italy

or to improve commercial relations
between Italy and Spain.

Bound Vessels

President Authorized to Use War
Bound Vessels
The joint resolution, already
adopted by the Senate, authorizing the
President to put into service vessels
of the enemy in American ports were
adopted by the House of Congress
without a a-record vote after an all day
debate.
The measure gives legal sanction
to the administration plan Of util-
ling the 96 war-bound German mer-
chantmen as government vessels and
putting them into the TRANSATLANTIC
trade as part Of the great commercial
fleet relied on to break .he "
boat blockade. Confident that Con-
gress would approve, the executive
branch Of the government already has
begun repairing the damage done to
the vessels by their German crews
and at least two are loading now at
Eastern ports. After the war Ger
many is expected to make the claim
that in taking over the vessels the
United States violated the celebrated
treaty Of 1928, but StateDepartment
officials believe there is no valid
ground for such complaint.

1000 Club Women of This State to
Enlist in Food Conservation

1000 Club Women of This State to
Enlist in Food Conservation
Raleigh Cor. Greensboro Daily News.
The Raleigh club women returning
from the federation in Durham are
missionaries for food conservation
and they begin at oEce among their
400 members here in Raleigh.
Two hundred and fifty women sign
ed the pledge Friday to reduce and to
create IT the same ime. There are
1000 club womer in the State and up
on these ESQ falls the work Of carry
ing to eve,y mc1rber the duty of CON
serving. The federation received from
Mrs. T. W. Bicke.s a letter embody-
ing he now4fanous letter Of "a far
r1ers wife,, IN which the worker in
the country asked why society persist
in feeding heavily and expensively
people who are not hungry. The eoun-
try woman urged society to abolish
this perfectly foolish and needless
waste Of costly food.
i Mrs. Beckett pledged herself to the
principle of simplicity and economy
in social affairs about the mansion.
And the federation put itself on re-
cord thus: "In view of the pressing

and to live simply. 1 will begin
now.
The Greensboro News remarks
that "it is gluttonous waste, this
eating of refreshments at off-hours;
and moreover it is positive task
except for those piggish persons who
are always hungry and never happy
except in the act of deglutition. Re
Treatments should be at regular
feeding time-or not at ALL" And
that's true, too. Eating the refresh
ments no matter how nice they are,
is positive burden to many people
and the amount of waste can hardly
be estimated. But it's the style
ard most society folks would rather
be dead than out of style-each tries
to excel the other, and so it goes. It
is now becoming fashionable to leave
off the refreshments and maybe this
latest fashion will be found so SEN
sible that it will continue after the
war shall have ended.

them-a club in Mooresville being

the efforts Of their clubs to some
profitable and practicable work in
connection with the war. Mrs. Bick-
ett, the wife of the Governor, it is

doned Monday byGov. Beckett from the
2-years' sentence imposed by Judge
Stacy and which he would have be-
gun serving May Is. The books OF
the bank showed false entries that
covered shortages aggregating $62,-

tendere and gave every assistance in
strengthening out the accounts: A
big delegation Of the most prominent
citizens of the Beaufort section,
backed by petitions that represented
IS per cent of the citizenship Of the
county, urged the pardon. Thomas
is considered by the people OF his sec
ton as citizen Of exemplary life
and is said to have profited nothing
by any dollar invovled in the short
age, but made the entries in an ef'
fort to adjust the affairs Of his faith
or in his personal accounts and his
accounts as county treasurer.
