FLU SITUATION BETTER.
As Fairs as We Know Now the Ban on
Public Meetings viii be Lifted
Friday

The writer can we'll attest to the
fact that the influenza is not well
come visitor to any home. The Pub
lie Opinion force has been pretty
badly crippled for the past week.
Some of us are trying to get back on
the job this week, but find it any
thing but easy to get out a creditable
paper this week, but hope next week
to have things moving along in the
old tenure.
The quarantine put on by the
board of health last week runs until
Thursday night of this week; then
it is off, and picture shows, churches,
etc. can run the same as usual.
Whether or not the closing OF any OF
these public places does any good or
not, is a question, and the more we
read about the matter the more we
observe that the physicians around
the country are not sure as to
whether it does any good or not. We
guess the flu can be contracted most
any time and most any place, and we
don't believe the sickness is contrac-
ted in picture shows, churches, OF
any place in particular, it is just
apparently in the air. But it is wei
for people to be careful about theil
health, and take whatever precaut
ions they think best. But the pro
position to avoid getting down will

HOW TO USE SERVICE FLAG
Design Now SO Popular With Public
Originated With Cleveland Man

Much attention is being attracted
by the service flag. Until the war
the service flag was unknown. With
the progress of the war, people are
destined to become very familiar
with it and it will be one of the
emblems after the war to which
future orators will make frequent
reference.
Attention is called to the fact by
the Washington Bulletin that the
service flag is not an official emf
blem of the United States govern
ment The flag so far as known
was designed by R. L. Queisser, of
Cleveland, o. 1t met with instant
favor and took such a firm root
in popular favor that it lis officially
recognized and the public has been
encouraged to use it.
Mr.. Queisser, the designer, was
formerly captain of the Fifth Ohio
machine gun company, now the
145th infantry, from which he was
retired as the result of an accident.
] Mr.. Queisser expects that his
boys, who were officers in the
national guard, would be called out.
The thought came to him on April
6, 1917, when war with Germany
was declared, that it would be a
comfort to the mother of the young
men to evolve some symbol which
would be visible sign of the
sacrifice, which she was making.
Mr.. Queisser declared that the i'm
spiration of the flag came to him
in that manner. rs, al.
/ He designed the emblem and the
city council of East Cleveland
adopted an ordinance providing that
one of the flags should be present.
ed to the family of every soldier.
1t soon received favorable recogpi-
tion elsewhere and Mr.. Queisser
then had it patented.
The propriety of former officer
patenting the flag and profiting
from its sale has been the occasion
of some discussion both in the press
land by congress. This resulted in
an agitation in favor of the adcr-
tion by the government of an official
service flag not subject to private
control. This however, has not
been done.
Captain Queisser declared that
the original intention was TO pre-
sent the flag to the government and
that he endeavored to do so. He
says it was not until he found there
was no chance of making it official
that he entered upon the manu-
facture of the flag as matter of
personal pride rather than to profit
from 1t.
When flown from a home hus-
band, father or brother may be,
properly represented on the flag
even tho he did not actually leave
from that household directly to en-
ter the service. Where the relation
ship is more distant the members
should be. actual members of the
household where the flag is dis
played, and they should have left
directly from such household. Do
nestle employees or boarders should
not be represented.
