WITH STAR FOR A STATE :
FLAG IS CENTURY OLD

The stars and Stripes" with thir-
teen stripes for the thirteen original
states and a. star for each state in
the Union, is 100 years old today. This
emblem was adopted by Congress in
1918, to become effective on and after
July 4. 1918.
The question of changing the form
of the flag was started by Peter H.
Wendover Of New York, who offered a
resolution in Congress in 1916, upon
the admission of Indiana into the
Union. The original resolution pro-
vided that the flag should have one
large star in the middle of blue field
and that single stars representing the
states should be arranged in circles
about it.
Finally, two years later. when the
matter came to be voted upon in Con-
gress the resolution was changed so
that the stars should be of equal size
on the blue field. one for each state.
Resolution eftecting the change in the
form Of the flag was passed by the
House March rs. by the Senate March
81.

WOUNDS ARE NOT DISPIRITING
TO AMERICAN FIGHTING MAN
Whether Smashed by Shell, Bomb or Hand
Grenade, He Is the Same High Spirited
Chap as Before Many at Walter Reed. r

The list Of casualties from the
American Army fighting in France is
now being balanced by returning con-
valescents, whose numbers in the re-
construction centers like Walter Reed
Hospital here have, reached an ap-
preciable total.
1t is an outstanding fact to all OBJ
servers that an American youth
smashed by a SHE'LL, bomb or hand
grenade is. Notwithstanding. exactly
the same kind Of an individual he
was before he went in. High spirit
ed, mischievous, all personal loss dis
counted and humanity anxious to re-
sumo any dull round of civilian Ia
Dor, they have tendency to regard
the carefully planned hospital school
for educating them to usefulness
with the same distaste that healthy
youth has for the training establish
ments, however desirable he may
know them to be.
So a chance visitor to the hospital
expecting to discover a hero is apt
to find a proportion of youths whose
clothes have been taken away from
them to compel them to stay near
their beds. They are likely to be
calculating intelligently their chances
to shirk irkSome routine. Whatever
adventure and torture they have lived
is being forgotten while their force
and energy are entirely devoted to the
problem of today.
