council Of East Cleveland adopted an
ordinance providing that one of the
flags should be presented to the family
Of every soldier. 1t soon received
favorable recognition elsewhere and
Mr.. Queisser then had it patented.
The pr0priety Of a former army OIL
Ger patenting the flag and profiting
from it's sale has been the occasion OF
some discussion both in the press and
by congress. This resulted in an agi-
tation in favor of the adoption 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 present the
flag to the government and that he en-
deavored to do so. He says it was not
until he found there was no chance OF
making it official that he entered upon
the manufacture Of the flag as a mat
ter Of personal pride rather than to
profit from it.
When flown from home husband
father or brother may properly be rep
resented on the flag even tho he die
not actually leave from that household
directly to enter the service. Where
the relationship is more distant the
members should be actual members
of the household where the flag is dis
played, and they should have left d.
rectly from such household. Domestic
employees or boarders should not be
represented.

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 1t and it
will be one Of the embiems 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 emblem of the
United States government. The flag
so far as known was designed by r, l..
Queisser, Of Cleveland, O. 1t met with
instant favor and took such Arm root
in popular favor that it is officially
recognized and the public has been en-
Outraged to use it.
Mr.. Queisser. the designer, was for
meily captain of the Fifth Ohio ma
chine gun company, now the 145th in
fantry. fl ON which he was retired as
the result Of an accident.
Mr. QNeisser expected 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 comfort to the mother Of the
young men to evolve some symbol
which would be a visible sign Of the
sacrifice which she was making. Mr..
I0ueisser declared that the inspiration
of the flag came to him in that man
yler.
He designed the emhlem and the city

When all except two or three nave

The men are formed into two lines,
facing each-other and about six yards
apart. A cap is tossed on the ground
midway between the lines. and then
the men in couples, one from each line,
walk slowly up to it and try to snatch
it before the other can touch him. II.

Both lines stand tense

Half the crows bolt instead of dash
