American women should salute the American Tag.
They want to salute it.
When the flag passes the Star spangled Banner
music sings down the street. bare their heads ana
in the crowds thrill with the same desire to show
their patriotism They long to shout wave or bow their
heads in reverence
But no woman does any of these thngs-because
waving and shouting in public simply isn't done!
In the unwren laws of convention there Is no pro-
vision for woman's gesture of salute. .
Every one expects q to remove his hat when the
nag passes-and he does it. Every expects woman
70 do nothing when the flag passes-and she does It,
But that does not alter the fact that women wish to
salute the flag and they SHOULD salute it. An appro-
pEiate gesture must be found
Women, well men, active American citizens.
With real part in the and real stake in the coun
Try. Not all of them have voice in government but
most Of them have relative in the army or navy and
most Of them have families jobs, both. or all three
The American flag is their flag and they want to acknow
edge and accept its responsibilities well as claim its
protection and glory.
From the American flag women get the same benefits
men: in larger they give the same service to

All that is lacking is formal universal gesture which
shall express womens loyalty the lifted hat expresses
the loyalty of men.
