WHEN THE FLAG GOES BY
; Prepared by the National Com
mittee of Patriotic Societies,
Washington, D. G..
When the colors are passing,
the spectator, if a man, should
halt If walking, arise if sitting,
and uncover, holding the head
dress opposite the left shoulder
with the right hand; if bare
headed, he should salute with
the right hand. A woman should .
stand at attention as the flag
passes by.
When the flag is waving from
stationary flagstaff or pole it
is not saluted by hand. i
In decorating, the flag should
never be festooned or draped,
= always hung fat. If hung with
: stripes horizontal, union should
be in upper left corner. If hung
perpendicularly, union should be
= in upper right corner.
When the flag is carried in pa

flags, the Stars and Stripes should
= always be at the right.
The law specifically forbids
the use of any representation of
the flag in any manner or in any
= connection with merchandise for
sale.
The flag should be raised at
= sunrise and lowered at sunset.
. It should not be displayed on
stormy days or, except when un-
der fire of the enemy, left over
night. Although there is no au-
lucrative ruling which compels
: civilians to lower the flag at sun

Scott. foreman Of the city stone quar-
rics here, who was killed Monday in a
dynamite explosion, might have been
alive toda". The negro who assists
about the pumping station and black

minutes before the explosion: MIR
Scott, Use done told you to put the I'D
on dat dynamite. l dreamed las
night dat de dynamite am already
I'sa not going to stay here any more
unless you covers dat box"
Briggs left the pumping station
where Scott was preparing to use the
forge and anvil, with the dynamite
still uncovered. 1t was only a few
minutes until the dynamite exploded,
probably due to the ignition of cap
by flying spark.
A negro laborer was also injured
while third man was hurled through
the doorway, but escaped.

INCOME TAX DODGERS.
Department Plans Drive to Round up
All Delinquents.

Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Daniel c. Roper is drawing together
final plans for drive to round up tax
slackers. His special income tax CON-
mittee has found that many who
should have filed income tax returns
before April failed to dc so, either
through carelessness, ignorance of the
law or in defiance of it.
He is preparing a statement cover
ing instructions to internal revenue
agents. it is understood, calling on
them to compel all who failed TO file
their reports, to make out delinquent
returns. TheE will also call on de-
linquents FOR payment of the proper
penalties.
It is the intention of the Internal
Revenue Bureau to make the law plair
to delinquents and TO enforce penal.
ties in such way that when time
comes for the payment Of income tas
assessments in June, the number Of
tax-dodgers viii be kept at mini
mum.

The total amount of Third Liberty
Bonds actually sold to date IN Alex
andria is S4O,950. This represents
about 90 per cent of the allotment OF
s29O,1OO fixed by the Government
This includes actual sales. Each OF
the banks have promises for much
more than this which could safely be
counted, but the Government does not
want any figures reported except
where the first payment or full pay
ment has been made.
The allotment for Alexandria coun-
ty is $4,000. In this campaign the
Government has made Alexandria city
and county unit.
There has been no soliciting 10,
subscriptions for bonds in Alexandria
as vet. and the sale of over $4,000 in
bonds by volunteer buyers appears
very favorable. The canvassing or
eanization has not been completed
It will be formed on the whirlwind
campaign style of the recent Cham
ber of Commerce campaign. This
work will probably not begin until the
last two weeks of the campaign. lr
the meantime the Liberty Loan com
m;ttcc desires that prospective bono
buyers go to the banks and buy tneil
bonds now so that the city can VIII

and the city and county men and W.
mems committees will be there in full
force. The Red Cross women, and
other women's organizations have been
invited.
There is especial interest in the
meeting because of the noted speak
ers on the program. The three speak
ers already assigned to the meeting
by the Government are effective plat
form orators, and they have official
government connection. Hon. Leo S,
Rowe, assistant secretary of the

OUTRIGHT THE GERMANS HIGH TIDE IN THE RIVER
Water Covered Most of the Strand
This Morning and Extended Far
Up Into King Street.

u lHlU hlHS
The east and northeast winds of
the past few days and the almost in
cessant rains have had their usual
effect on the river front. This morn
ing the tide had passed over the rail
way track al the foot of King street
and was laving the building line or
the west side of Union street. Boats
were brought into requisition for the
convenience of people who were land
ed from the steamers, as well as for
those who had to board the same.
The old ferry wharf with all its ap-
proaches were flooded. Similar con-
ditions existed at the foot of Cameron
and Prince streets.
The tide overspread virtually all the
wharvcs from Fishtown TO the re-
claimed land in the southern section
of the city, where the Virginia Ship
building Company is preparing its
plant.
Small boats, mostly those using
gasoline, as well as some houseboats.
which have been moorcd in docks,
have been forced upon the tops of
wharves by the high tides and winds,
and some have been considerably dam
aged.
On the lower river front some men
who are employed by the shipbuilding
company have been sleeping in boats.
The storm of Tuesday night caused
them to pass through thrilling expert
ences. In some cases the boats were
sunk by the elements after having
been tossed for some time by the
waves, and their occupants had mar
row escapes.
While the wind had considerably di-
minishcd in force this morning, 1t
was still coming from the northeast,
and the temperature was low.

tribution to medical science? THIS
proposition has long been the basis
for much discussion, pro and con, and
has been the subject of innumerable
papers before scientific organizations.
How this pulsating question is cloth

appreciated by the boys is putting II
