THE CHURCH FLAG

Among the many varicolored bits Of
bunting unfurled from our ships in
the Navy, is little white flag, pen
nant-shaped, with a blue cross placed
horizontally on its field. Before this
even the stars and strips go down, for
it is the church pennant raised when
religious services are held on Sunday
Every nation has its flag around
which cluster thoughts of loyalty and
patriotism and personal sacrifice. In
the Army and Navy the flag stands for
the high ideals for which the soldiers
and sailors are striving. 1t keeps
mems motives lofty even in the fer
cest wars, and makes them forgetful
of SELF
So does this little devotional flag
act as reminder to the sailor Of his
religious faith. 1t is the symbol of
his early teachings while among the
softening influences of home and has
noble significance.

Even in cases of enforcible guaran-
tees, 1t may become necessary to run
tests on the completed plant, and since
this involves a matter of expenditure,
authorities are likely to neglect It.
The result is that frequently communi-
ties are called upon to ray excessive
amounts for the operation Of plants
and the cost of maintenance may be
entirely too high"
According to Dean McCaustland, o
proper plan for city or town councils
to follow is to keep in their own
hands the full determination Of general
policy and procedure and then to
make the widest possible use of ex-
pert opinion in all matters having 20

PUBLIC DOESN'T HEED ADVICE
Word of Expert Counts for Little,
Dean McCaustland Saws.

"The experiences of the Engineer
ing Experiment Station OF the Uni
versity Of Missouri in offering to ad-
wise municipalities on matters of pub
lie improvement demonstrate beyond
question the fact that public opinion
has not yet reached stage where ex-
pert advice is accepted with conf
dence," says E. ]. McCaustland, d.
rector of the station. "In too many
cases it seems obvious that municipal
authorities seek advice merely in an
attempt to bolster up their own pre-
conceived notions and in the hope Of
being able to justify their action to
their constituents. Many instances
occul where municipal officers place

HOME wAR.wORK LECTURES

Before our soldiers go into the
trenches they are drilled for months
they are taught how to fight, how tt
take care of themselves and how tC
take care of comrades.
Before those at home go into theil
war gardens, before they start rails
ing this years chicken crop, before
they begin canning the products OF
their gardens, they should know the
how, when and where. Seed is too
scarce to plant carelessly this year.
There is too much at stake. Gardens
must be planned carefully and with
the advice of experts.
Our poultry must furnish a greater
proportion of meat for our own con-
sumption than ever before and We
need every egg that can be produced.
At the same time, our grain supply is
too limited to be fed indiscriminately
and each bushel must be fed so that it
will produce the maximum pounds Of
meat and greatest number of eggs.
The course of war lectures to be
given twice week is to interest men
in war gardens and to help the house
wife plan three patriotic meals day.
Every citizen should take an active
interest in this series.
The Civic League of Columbia is to
be commended for arranging the lee
lures.

good results would have been obtain

JAILBIRD NOW A WATCHDOG
BOodler, Great Dane That Guards tn
Fire Department, Is Respected.

What cat could frequent the gar.
bage can and keep caste? Few dogs
can get away with 1.-THE blood will
tell in a dog-but Boodler, the Great
Dane of the fire department, is one OF
these. Every inch of her lady, she
can be seen almost every afternoon
when the restaurant scraps have
proved inadequate, in search of gar
bage cans, the taller the better, for
she is a tall dog.
Added to this, she was born in the
state penitentiary about six years ago,
and lived there during the early
months of her life. Later she was
brought to Columbia and belonged to
D. H. Roland until given to the fire
department to be kept by the chief
and his men. She has been with them
five years and has not yet worn out
her welcome.
According to T. NJ. Walden, acting
fire chief, she does very little. Her
habits about the engine room resolve
themselves into one-lounging. But,
according to the same authority, she
is an excellent watch dog and allows
no one to enter the room when the
men are at fire. She never follows
the engine.
There you have her-scavenger,
loafer, jailbird, yet withal worthy Of
trust. Her fearless eyes and the quiet
dignity with which she carries her
$50 pounds demand respect. Again,
where is the cat?

different points on the Scottish coast.
These were divided as follows: Amer

 Another Norwich girl. Miss Dodothy Gregson, is president of the Fresh man class at the present time.
 Social activities at the college which have been unusually gay and numerous this season reached cli- max in the brilliancy and college spir- 1t manifested at the sophomore class dance, which was held in the gymna- stun on Friday evening with 13O couple in attendance.
 Class banners, ferns and palms decorated the gymnasium while gay streazners of green, orange and blue hung from the rafters of the building and fioated amid the dancers.

BREAKFAST FOR SAILORS
 PROVIDED AT Y. M. C. A
Camp Fire Girls as Mattresses and Won'en's Auxiliary Member in Charqe.

A distinct innovation occurred at the '. M. c. A. Sunday morning when nearly fifty sailors ate breakfast at the local Young Mems Christian As sociation building.
 The association authorities desiring to do everything possible to make things homelike for the enlisted men visiting the city arranged for a home cooked breakfast in the lobby at 9.15 o'clock. Previous to the time of. and during the eating, James Drew made things interesting by playing selec- tions on tn epiano including patriotic and war songs and the sailors in large numbers gathered around the piano and entered heartily into the singing; this feature proved very popular Just before the men finished eating, Secre- tary Hill gave brief talk, telling the men how glad the Y NJ. C. A. arg to welcome them to the first Sunday breakfast, and he stated that in all probability this would be regular event on Sunday mornings He asked the men to give the name of their na- tive state, and this proved very inter- esting, fully fifteen states being repre- sented. and many far distant states were in the list. Herbert W. Gallup representing the Y. M c. A. board spoke few pleasing words to the men
 Misses Dorothy Lester. Evelyn Hill and Frances Kessler of the Camp Fire circle served at the breakfast, and a. member of the Y NJ c. A. auxiliary board was in charge.
 The sailors evidenced real app7ecia- tion and expressed the hope that the affair would become a weekly event. A small charge was made for the breakfast.

State officers here to address a coun- ty meeting of the Courts of Foresters in Foresters' hall on Sunday afternoon told tlle 200 members present that there were over 20 900 Foresters in the service of Uncle Sam in the army and navy and that the present membership drive That the order is calling for is to place one or more new members in the order for every one of these patriotic young members who have enlisted.
 Grand Chief Ranger William Myers of Bridgeport, Grand Secretary Thom- as O'Loughlin of Naugatuck and Grand Lecturer Frank J. Martha of this city were the three state officers who spoke each driving home the in1- portance of this work to strengthen the protection that the order is fur- nishing to those who are serving their country. They called to the attention of the membership that the charters of the courts had been opened making this a most favorable time for securing new members before the end of the drive on June 30 and urged upon the New London county courts to put in such work that they would have a proud place when the results are counted up.
 The death benefit, they explained to the members, is s2o0 for any man in the service and this is entirely as stunned by the supreme court without calling upon the treasuries of the To- cal courts, but a dollar from each

initiation fee goes to the supreme treasurer so that every initiation is a reinforcement of the funds available for the payments of possible death benefits through the ravages of war. As the dues for all members who have enlisted have been remitted it is the part of patriotism for the others to bive their best efforts to filling up the membership of the courts to provide for all possible calls.
 Ex- Mayor T. c. Murphy opened the meeting with some stirring words along patriotic lines and introduced Attorney J. j. Desmond, a charter member of Court Sachem, as the chairman.
 Chairman Desmond also spoke in a very acceptable manner.
 America was sung at the opening and close of the meeting and several fine tenor solos were rendered by Al Craig.
