The flag committee of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution sends out the following communication:
 Tt IS very evident that there are persons conspicuousIy loyal who fail
 to appreciate that to, display a tat
 tered and effaced emblem is not only
 a seeming disrespect to. the flag, which, as loyal Americans, we re- were and love. but iteis also a distinct violation of one of the most import
 ant regulations concerning the rules for the use of the flag. And being sure tat such violations must be un- conscious, we earnestly request that Article f3 of said rules may be given
 a conspicious place in your paper | Article 13 reads as follows:
 i "A flag which, by continual usage 1 has been reduced to two-thirds of its
 original length and lost one or more 1 of it's stripes, shall be deemed mu- 1 ti!ated flag. and withdrawn from the pubic vew It should be reverentlS | burned, unless, for some historic pun ipose, it is to be preserved"
