RESPECT TO FLAG
State Guard Officers Tell How
To Recognize Emblem.
Rules for Courtesy Due Ma
tiOnaI Anthem Also Given.

ITO the State Journal:
Frequent enquiries are made by
civilians to the respect and courtesy
due the national anthem and the ma
tional emblem. There are many loyal
and patriotic citizens, who thru lgnor-
ance, of what is due. fail to give the
outward and visible marks OF respect
On the other hand there are many
who wantonly fail to show respect Tor
the flag, or the country of which 1t is
emblematic. And if all loyal citizens
are properly educated in this regard,
it would be a simple matter to spot
the disloyal and to compel them to
show, at least the outward signs OF re-
spect, regardless of what their inner
most consciousness might feel, even
tho strong arm methods had to be re-
sorted to, to compel that mark of re-
spect With this educational object
in view it might be well to briefly
state the proper method of displaying
our respect to and honor for both the
national anthem and national en-
blem.
ION all occasions when the Star
Spangled Banner is played in public,
all soldiers, whether officers or en-
listed men, will, if in uniform and not
in formation, come to- attention, fac
ing the music, and salute at the first
note of the anthem and remain at
salute until the last note of the an
them is played. If in formation, the
officer or non-commissioned officer in
command of a unit, will call his unit
to attention, and the officer will rem
der the salute for the unit, the unit
remaining at attention, during the sa-
lutte by the officer in command of the

Civilians Should Stand.
civilians and soldiers in civilian
clothes, will, if seated, stand up, if
covered, will uncover at the first note
of the anthem, holding the hat oppo-
site the left shoulder until the last
note of the anthem has been played.
Except that in inclement weather, it is
permissible to stand with the hat held
slightly raised.
When played on an army band, the
national anthem should be played thru
without repetition. The national
anthem, nor any part of it should ever
be played in a musical medley, altho
this is frequently done, the playing of

it in such a manner is disrespectful to
the national hymn. Who would ever
think of making a medley of the Dox-

Show Courtesy to Allies.
1.-The same respect and courtesy that
is paid to our own national anthem,
should be shown to the national an

played in public.
There is no rule requiring one to
uncover when America is being played.
yet it is a good idea. at all times, to
show the same respect to the playing
of America as to the national anthem,

will make no effort to restore the
building, but will probably erect a
monument on the site. Only the CHM
ney remains standing, and this is like
ly to collapse at any time.
The house was erected in 1888, and
was purchased a few years later by
owen and Ruth Brown, parents of the
famous liberator. The records of the
old town of Torrington show that
owen Brown, now of Torrineton. late
of Salisbury, was married in Salisbury
on the 18th day of February, 17s9,"
and that John Brown, son of Owen
and Ruth Brown, was born in Tor
rington on the 9Th day of May, 1900"
The first five years of John Browns
life were spent in the West Torring-
ton house. In 1905, Owen Brown sold
moved to Hudson. o. The property
passed thru various vicissitudes and
was finally purchased in 1901 by Carl
Stoeckel of Norfolk and presented to

Fortunately none of the furniture
and other relics of historical value
were in the building at the time OF

Altho John Brown moved to the
West with his parents when he was
only five years of age, he visited his
native state in later years and ad-
dressed audiences here and solicited
financial aid in behalf of Kansas Free

posed to arm the negroes after he
set them free were made in Connect

On the occasion of the Tooth ami

there was held at the homestead a
