Usage During Parades.

when the national colors are pass
ing on parade or in review, the spec
tator should, il walking, halt, and, if
sitting, arise and stand at attention
and uncover.
when flags are used in unveiling
q statue or monument they should not
be allowed to fall to the ground. but
should be carried aloft to wave out,
forming a distinctive feature during
the remainder of the ceremony.
Where the national flag is dis
played with state or other flags. it
should be given the place of honor
on the right. Its use should be con-
fined as much as possible to its dis
play upon the staff. Where used as
banner the union should fly to the

EXPLAINS USAGE
IN FLAG DISPLAY
Geographic Society Bulletin
Discusses Subject of Hoist
ing and Furling CoIors.

Cessation Of war has not meant the
furling Of flags. Instead they are in
constant evidence, and the proper
manner Of their display constantly
arises. especially on parade days.
while there is no federal law per-
tanning to the manner of displaying
the flag, there are many regulations
and usages of national force bearing
on the subject" says a bulletin. from
the National Geographic Society. The
bulletin quotes from a communica-
tion to the society setting forth flag
etiquette" as follows:
I'm raising the flag it should never
be rolled up and hoisted to the top
of the staff before unfurling. In
stead. the fly should be free during
the act of hoisting, which should be
done quickly. It should be taken in
slowly and with dignity. 1t should
not be allowed to touch the ground
on shore, or the deck of ship. nor
should it be permitted to trail in the
water or in the dust. 1t should not
be hung where it can be contaminated
or soiled easily. or draped over chairs
or benches for seating purposes, and
no object or emblem Of any kind
should be placed upon it o rabove it.
Regrettable Practices.
"A common but regrettable practice
at public meetings is to drape the flag
like a tablecloih over the speakers
table and then to place on the flag
pitcher of ice water, flowers. books,
etc. Another equally careless prac-
tice, and, unfortunately, quite COM
mon, is to tie small United States
flags to the bottom of a stage cur
tain; when the curtain is raised the
dags are lifted aloft and are effective
~ displayed. but when the curtain is
lowered. so that the stage scenes may
be shifted. the flags trail in the dust
of the stage floor.
''The flag should not be festooned
over doorwas or arches. Always let
the flag hang straight. Do not tie it in
bowknot. Where colors are desired
for decorative purposes. use red. white
and blue bunting.
international usage forbids the dis
play of the flag of one nation above
that of any other with which it is at
peace. Such an act is considered an
insult in times of peace. When the
flags OF two or more nations are dis
played they should be on separate
STATS or on separate halyards of
equal size and on the same level.

An Echo From a Business
Meeting Yesterday
By EARL GOODWIN .

A group of Washington business men met yesterday
at in the recreation of the District Of Columbia
Paper Mill to talk ways and Of interesting
the world in the fact that Washington, D. c. is ideal
location for light manufacturing plants The factory in
which they met is of the model plants of the East and
yet slow has been the average Washngtonian to catch
on to the fact that Washington good factory town
that this big plant itself surprise to the business
men who met there.
The gathering was the first meeting of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association Committee for the Promo
ton of Manufacturing in Washington One of the many
points which brought out in the discussion that
Washingon's building regulations and similar restrictions
have been framed for residence city and not manufae
turing city Also that there is not the whoesouled spirit
of beraty at the District building which other cities
would show in effort to encourage manufacturers.
There is good reason for this: The officials of the
District of Columbia have obeyed the law and carried out
their duties faithfully the letter But to encourage
ufacurers all the United States urge upon the Of
cals of the city to deal with factory building and factory
managers with more of spirit of Tberality.
would not have it understood that this particular
thought constituted the entire subject under discussion for
it did not But that there is for considerable hbe
atty and that there is room for of meetmehah
way spirit at the District building amply shown by
business who related the trouble they had the past
in living up to regulations which would apply very we
to dwelling house, but which plainly do not apply to
half-million-dollar factory.
There is already formed committee of business men
who intend to study the difficulties and lay their plea be-
fore the Commissioners. nasmuch the Commissioners
are of discemment and vision haven't the slightest
doubt that the fullest cooperation between the community
and the District building viii be effected

NEVERAL letters have come
to me from women who
- have got their soldier sweet
hearts and husbands safely back
from "Over There" but who are
soreIy puzzled by the change that
has come over them.
In every case, the men in ques-
ton have been in the front line
trenches, and have gone through
the shot and shell Of those last
terrible, fighting days They felt,
rather than heard, the numbing
silence-more awful than the din
that began at eleven o'clock,
that fateful November morning
when the order to "cease firing
was given.
at was the silence that got me
could stand everything but
that" one woman quoted her
husband as saying, and she goes
on to say that after the first en-
thusiasm of homecoming was over,
her husband seemed to care for
nothing but to sit quietly and
think. The old amusements about
which he had been so keen before
he went to France, now fell fiat,
and even the especial interest of a
garden, that formerly occupied
every spare moment, fails to exer-
else any charm
There seems to be nothing else
to suggest to these women but to
wait, and let time, the all-healing
unguent, work its habitual
miracle. ONE men are pre-eml-
nently fitted to be soldiers, men Of
rugged fiber, iron nerve, slow SEN
sibilities, who are capable of she'd
ding the narrowing specters of
war by reason of their tempera-
ment- Others, more sensitive, are
obscessed by their experiences for
the time being, and find it impos-
sible to eradicate war impressions
Immediately. They live over and
over these scenes until something
more compelling comes along to
replace them, or until time gets In
its handiwork.
Quiet the Best RestOrer.
D This period Of adjustment is the
time for a conscientious wife to be
what Sir Walter Scott calls "a
ministering angel" Produce pipe,
slippers, and house coat, and be
prepared to cultivate a sympathet-
ic silence IL that is what is de-
manded by lacerated nerves. Don't
expect q man who has just es-
capped death-and has seen his
friends drop around him by the
score-to call for his dancing
pumps and betake himself to the
The Washington times., 1919-03-12

nearest cabaret as soon as he has
hung up his trench helmet.
However, 1t Is all a question Of
nerves and their sensitiveness to
receiving and retaining impress,
sions. The cabaret may be exact
ly the medicine that will work
wonders in restoring a certain
type; it may give the necessary
stimulus craved, or, again, it may
be an added horror.
So If you are a wife or a sweet
heart and are puzzled by having
your soldier man given to long re-
Election, don't despair, it may be
only natures way Of restoring the
balance. 1t is hardly fair to ex-
pect a sensitive man who has been
through the hell Of the trenches to
come back to you as if he had re-
turned from a jolly weekend and
is feeling particularly fit after the
experience.
In the first flare OF getting back
1t may even seem that way, but
the energy for frivolity is more
than apt to flag and a pipe and
slippers to win the day.

billion dollars Of revenue Here ig

money: Suppose it were IN silver
dollars, each weighing one ounce,
81, ,0OO, ,000, 900, $4,000, 900 pounds,
loaded into ordinary freight cars OF
so 900 pounds each, 1900 box cars
would be required to transport it, 16o
locomotives, each pulling 50 cars,
each car 40 feet long would reach
56 As miles, travelling 25 miles an
hour would take 2 Ia hours to pass
a given point. Or let Us imagine
81, ,000, ,000. 900 in 81 notes, each "a
inches long. This means 5000, ,OOOy-
600 inches or 7,1O3,S66 miles, or
2S41s times the distance around the
globe or more than % times the dis
tance to the moon So you see for
war alone in eighteen months we
spent about three times this amount,
or 22,5O0 box carloads Of good Amer
lean money. Where and when viii it

initial letters, A, D, g, B, e, C, +,
not counting duplicates, and these
seven letters are the index to thG
week Gays.
Now suppse they wanted to know
the week day Of August /, next. They
would first count on their fngertips
the months, finding that August was
the eighth month, they would then
count the words Of tie old rhyme,
finding the eighth word to be Chris
topher, with the initial letter C.
ext, they would count the alphabet
from A to the initial letter, finding
it the third letter. Then beginning
with the key day, they would say
Wednesday 1, Thursday 2, Friday 8,
so August 1 would be Friday. Know
ing that the 1st, 9Th, 18th, 22d, and
18th were Friday, they could easily
tell the rest Of the week days Of
August
Try this method on other months,
it never fails. For leap year YOU
must add an extra day In your count
from the key day, after February.
