across the field the Docs leg went

his hold on the stretcher. But he
took hold again in a minute or two
and hung on until the colonel was
comfortable in bed in the sick

Selection of the Stars in ~
,& the Flag of United States

Whatever conclusions may be reach
ed as to the originator Of the idea of
selecting stars to represent the states
of the federal union, one thing is GER
tain; and that is that the stars which
adorn the american flag were never
borrowed from the coat of arms of any
American citizen, not excepting that of
George Washington. In the first place,
General Washington who, as some au-
thorities think, owned the stars select
ed for the purpose, was far from being
the father of his country" in the early
part of 1777, when the Star-Spangled
Banner came into being. At that time
the military situation of the country
was at it's lowest ebb, and Washington
was beset by more than one cabal Of
jealous rivals. No, our forefathers
who formed this glorious union looked
higher than man for a symbol Of SOW
ereignty, and sought the heavens,
which declare the glory of God" for
a sign, and selected something from
the armament, which "showeth His
handiwork ;" or there would have been
no I'm God We Trust on our coins
today.-Admiral Chester in Yale Re-
view. ~ ......

Stars of Gold
Bands to be Won on Ann by
Those Who Have Lost Near
Relatives IN Wa.

War department officials who have
been consulted in regard to the black
band with gold stars to be worn on
the left arm by those who have lost
relatives in the war recommended that
the gold star of the navy, Fifteen-six-
teenths of an inch in size, which may
be purchased at any army or navy
equipment store, be appliqued by hand
on band of broadcloth or other suit
able material. The use of the reg
ulatiOn brOadcloth Is not obligatory,
however and the insignia may be made
at home.
The band is to be of black, three
inches wide, the stars, one for each
member of the family lost, to be of
gold, of gildef metal, satin, or Of cloth,
or may be embroidered In yellow SILK
or gold thread. The badge will not be
patented and will not be commercial
lied.
The badge was devised by the wom-
ans committee of the Council OF Ma
tional Defense and approved by Presi-
dent Wilson.

Automatic Soldier Made
Of Steel Shoots 400 Shots
In Any Desired Direction

IAN automatic soldier" is one of the
latest developments in weapons of war
A Danish engineer has recently taken
out patent for an apparatus to which
he has given this name. It consists of
a steel cylinder normally within larg.
er cylinder, the whole being sunk into
the ground vertically. BY means of a
mechanism operated by wireless, the
inner cylinder rises to a height of IS
inches from the ground and simultane-
Ously an automatic rifle mounted on the
inner cylinders fires 400 shots in any
given direction. r
The "automatic soldiers" can be con-
trolled from q central position some
four or five miles behind the line Of
defense, according to the inventor.
They may be seen by the enemy only
when they rise from the ground.
From trials already made it has been
shown, so it is reported, that anew hun
dreds of these steel soldiers can easily
defend a position against infantry at
tacks, however numerous the opposing
force may be. They blaze away their
400 shots without flinching, and never
retreat. In order to overcome the ''au-
tomatoes they must be destroyed one
by one. -..-
