SERVICE FLAGS
FOR A. A. ARKSP

Among other decorations at Amer
lean Association parks next season
will be two service flags, one for the
league and the other in honor of the
local players who have Joined the
colors. Thomas ]. Hickey, president
of the league, already has begun COM
piling the data for the league emblem,
and has written each club owner to
furnish him with a list of men in SER
vice. It is believed the American AS
ISOLATION will surpass either big lea
que in the number of stars on its flag
and probably will fly the largest ser
vice flag of any circuit extant. The
rank and file of A. A. players are
younger than the average big Lacquer
and consequently are not so greatly
hampered by family ties.

Coates Makes Address and
Presents Local With
Service Flag

Bridgeport typographical Union,
No. 252, held an important and i'm
pressive meeting Tuesday night in
their hall on Broad street, in honor
of their members who have enlisted
with Uncle Sam.
The ranks of the Typos have been
somewhat thinned since the call of
President Wilson to the colors, by
members who have volunteered and
are now serving in the army and navy.
Up to this time, it was shown, nearly
ten per cent. of the organization 8
membership has enlisted. This pro-
portion will doubtless be much in
creased now that Great Britain effect
ed with this country an exchange of
subjects of draft age.
In honor of those men now in the
service of their country, Bridgeport
Typographical Union, on Tuesday
night, dedicated, with fitting cere-
mony, an honor roll, beautifully en-
crossed and illuminated, bearing the
name of each man.
James A. Coates, in an apprecia-
tive speech, presented the honor roll
which was neatly framed, and also a
service flag bearing a star for each
man.
After making clear the significance
of the service, he impressed on all
present the noble purpose that &C
tuates the American soldier in this
war. Then, as a fitting close to the
occasion, he called on all present to
stand while each man individually Of
fered to God a silent prayer for our
boys at the front.
1t was a sacred moment for those
present and was followed by solemn
hush Ions to be remembered, wher
the members resumed their seats.
The design of the honor roll i.
unique and appropriate for such al
ter and at the top of the design al
old Washington hand printing pres:
is represented, ,radiating rays Of light
symbolic of the enlightment made
possible to civilization through the in
vention of printing.
Uniting with this symbol of print
ing and learning are two American
flags, handsomely Illuminated anC
draped gracefully from each uppe
corner, hanging about a third of thu
distance down toward the sides.
This harmony of design unites ant
overshadows delicately engrosset

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care

prepared shampoos contain too much
alkal. which is very injurious, as it
dries the scalp and makes the hair
brittle.
Tho best thing TO use is just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil, for this is pure
and entirely Ercaseless. It's very
cheap. and beats the most expensive
soaps or anything else all to pieces.
You can get this at any drug store,
and n few ounces will last the whole
family for months.
Simply moisten the hair with
water and rub IL in. about a tea
