The Findino of Old Glory.

When the day came that our revolu-
tionary fathers needed to design a flag
for the new nation of their heroic
founding, they had but to lift their
eyes to the heavens to find the banner
of their faith and pride.
In the glowing West, in the burning
clouds of sunset sky-streaming
across the wide horizon in alternate
bands of flame and mist-they saw the
symbol of their own fair dreams, mys-
tic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked, there came a
sudden rending of the fleecy mass by
wind of Iiberty's own sending, and
through the monster rift thus made
they then beheld patch of azure sky
set thick with silver stars.
The stars-the stripes-the blue
Old Glory, blazoned in beauty across
the wonder of Gods great heaven, for
all the world to see.. It is our flag
God make us worthy of it.-Anne Ran
kin in Southern Woman's Magazine.

What the Flag symboIizes.

In 1777, within few days of one
year after the declaration of independ-
ence, the congress Of the colonies in
the confederated states assembled and
ordained this glorious national flag
and advanced it full high before God
and all men as the flag of liberty.
1t was no holiday flag, gorgeously
emblazoned for gayety or vanity. 1t
was a solemn national signal. When
that banner first unrolled to the sun,
it was the symbol of all those holy
truths and purposes which brought to-
gether the colonial American congress!
The flag means now all that our fa-
theirs meant in the Revolutionary war.
1t means all that the Declaration or
Independence means. 1t means all
that the Constitution of our people
meant in organizing for justice. for
liberty, for happiness. 49,

the greatest joys of building-plan.
ming just how the home will be after
1T is finished.
Undoubtedly the type of home that
has the greatest appeal to the sub
urban and small city dweller is the
bungalow. The convenience of the
bungalow arrangement, the elimina.
ton of the back-breaking work of
running up and down stairs. and the
cOsinesS of having all of the rooms
opening one into the other brought
into immediate popularity the bun
galow.
Great Advance Shown.
Since the beginning of this popu-
jlarity, however, there has been a
great advance in bungalow designing.
One of the best of these latter de.
signs is shown in the illustration &C
companying this article. This white
bungalow is a new type in home archi-
lecture and is designed for those
whose lots are larger than are ordi-
narily found in the city. 1t might be
called the Dutch colonial type, and,
in its balanced simplicity and grace
of roof line, will be to the middle
West what the two-story Dutch colo
'nial house is to the East.
The bungalow is SO feet wide and
81 feet deep, while the sun porch,
sleeping porch and kitchen porch,
which are ranged along the back, ex-
tend eight feet farther.
The floor plan was designed with
the idea of saving the steps of the
housekeeper. The living room is typ
zeal of a bungalow and has that spa.
ciousness which makes this type OF
home so popular. It is 221a feet long
and 1211b feet wide. One of it's attrac.
lions is a large open fireplace, with
bookcases on either side. Opening off
the living room toward the rear OF
the house is the dining room, which is
large also, it's dimensions being II by
II feet. Built into the wall between
the two windows is the buffet.

Hold the Flag Sacred.

The rills of resolution that recently
have inspired earnest and impressive
but locally scattered manifestations
of disapproval for demonstrations of
disloyalty or erroneous concepts OF
civic obligation are gathered into one
mighty stream. The symbolism of
the flag, of which the disloyal prove

luminous than on this fourteenth day

THE PLUMB PLAN

ORGANIZED labor in America has
been quick to approve the principles
of industrial democracy that underlie
the Plumb plan for the nationalist
tion of the railways, and to recognize
in those principles the basis of a con-
structive economic program which will
quiet the deep industrial unrest that
threatens the stability of the working
world and even of society itself.
All over the county there are in
dications that the Plumb plan for
national ownership and democracy in
the control Of the railways has awak-
ened widespread and intelligent inter
est, and has encouraged wage-earners
to define their position.
At Oakland, Cal, street railway en-
ployes find in the Plumb plan COM
plete solution of their local transpor-
tation problem. Without altering a
detail, they propose the Plumb plan
for the electric lines operating in

to adjust these differences. He sees

Oakland, and they ask that immediate
steps be taken to secure just valua
ton Of the property to form basis
for transfer of ownership to the
municipality.
The American labor party, at &
meeting August %, in York Vile cast
no, advocated the application of the
Plumb plan to the municipal railway
systems of Greater New York. A
comprehensive resolution was passed
embodying all the special features OF
the Plumb CHARACTERIZATION of the
properties, tripartite control, division
of surplus, etc. Reading this resolu-
ton, it is interesting to realize how
perfectly the Plumb plan fits every
angle of the municipal situation in
New York.
The New York State Federation of
Labor, at its convention in Syracuse
last month, went on record in favor
of the Plumb plan for the national
ization of the railways of the United
States and democracy in their control,
and at the same time urged that the
same or similar scheme he applied
to the telegraph and telephone sys-
TENS, and advocated municipal own
ership of all public utilities.
The Plumb plan also forms one of
the foremost planks in the platform
of the new national labor party re-
Gently formed in Chicago at the in
stance of the labor party of Cooke

Almost daily, and from all parts
of America, comes new evidence of
the spread of the doctrine of indus
trial democracy.
In the great war just ended, poll
tical autocracy as a power in the world

railway plan is the beginning of the
first campaign in the greater war to
end forever the power of industrial
autocracy.

a week, and twice a week during July
and August, and from their garbage
plant it is divided into two products,
viz: tankage, which is sold to fertil-
izer manufacturers, and grease, which
goes to soap manufacturers. The fis-
cal year just closed, this garbage plant
netted Columbus $4,000. With such
financial returns as this, would it not
be profitable for our city dads to in
vestigate this plant and go into the
garbage disposal business for profit
for Hamilton? $4,000 is not to be
sneezed at. Of course, it wouldn't be
expected that Hamilton make as much
as Columbus, because of the difference
in the size of the two cities, we haven't
as much garbage, but we should be
able to make as much in proportion.
If Columbus can do it, there is no rea-
son why Hamilton shouldn't. Some

for this unrest 1t seems that the
commissioners, being in generous
mood, decided to increase the janitors
salary and voted them the huge SUM
of % cents a day, or $3.50 per week
to their already munificent salaries.
1t is said one of the commissioners re-
marked that the next time they would
make the increase an even $500 per
week. No doubt the reason for not
giving the county's servants all the
increase at once was that they didn't
