TRADE MARK FOR GOODS MADE IN
 AMERICA ONLY

London, May 10 - The American Chamber of Commerce in London is taking a keen interest in the bill in troduced by Representative Sims in the House of Representatives provid- ing for a national trademark to be supplied to American manufacturers and producers, under government li- cense, and to be attached to goods of American origin
 This proposal has been discussed at meeting of the Chamber and the views expressed were against it. One reason given for this opposition was that such an official mark might be indiscriminately applied to good, bad and indifferent American products, and would operateNto the detriment of efficiently produced standardized goods of quality
 The chairman of the Trade Infor- nation Committee of the Chamber, Paul E. Derrick, said:
 "The American Chamber of Conn merce in London, with a membership of over 500, including representatives of most important American concerns engaged in commerce with Great Britain, considers the proposed law dangerous to American export trade interests in European markets unless the use of the proposed trade mark be absolutely restricted to a stand- ardized quality of goods. Such re- striction is believed to be impractical, and impossible of efficient application.
 Further, it is believed that Ameri- can goods selling to the general pub- lie by the British and other commer- cially developed European markets would in no way be benefited by such a displayed symbol of foreign origin"

SALUTE FLAG
 WHEN "COLORS''

There is a lot of confusion in most folks minds, as to when a flag should be saluted. In the army, the silken "colors' or regimental battle flags, when unfurled, must alwas receive a salute, whenever they are carried past a man, or he passes them In fine weather, in camp, the Color is usually planted in the ground, before the colonePs tent; and every one who walks by, salutes it. A flag hoisted at the top of a pole, or displayed from a building, is not considered as a Color" and receives no salute. The only exception to this rule occurs at the evening ceremony of retreat" ,; there, when the Star Spangled Ban- ner is played Cor, if no band is pres ent, when the bugler sounds Ito the Color'), the soldiers look toward, and salute the big camp flag, as it is slowly lowered-From The American Boy

Yet there are many of the older men whose majesty of bearing Is not matter of costume alone. Their red cotton gowns or khalats give them princely stateliness which the trou- sered Russian with his shirt Hopping lacks.

Ivory Phonoaraph Needles.

The phonograph stylus of vegetable ivory has decided advantage over the old wooden needle, the usefulness of which is finished when it has played one record. The ivory point will stand the wear of six records, then when it has been filed over the bevel end can be used on six more.

THE plantation songs known as

exercises.
They were never composed but
sprang into life. ready made, from
the white heat OF religious fervor
during some protracted meeting In
camp or church, as the simple, costa
tic utterancs Of wholly untutored
minds. They are practically the only
music In America which meets the
