Stars And Stripes Oldest
Flag That Flies

Next Wednesday, June Il. Flag Day
will be observed throughout the ma
ton. Instituted to keep alive the his
tory and significance Of the Stars and
Stripes, it is celebrated each year
with greater ceremony, for recent in
ternational events have called atten-
ton to the fact that the American flag
is the oldest national emblem that
flies today. Whether we date from the
common flag Of the first thirteen ori-
ginal colonies first unfurled over
Washington's headquarters at Cam
bridge, Mass, in 1776, or the Stars
and Stripes adopted by act of Con-
gress, June IA, 1777, the flag of the
United States can justly claim to be
the oldest among the ensigns of the
nations Of the world. T. sntedzt-s
England's royal standard, established
in 1901; the flag of Spain, adopted in
1875; the French tricolor, decreed in
1874; the existing flag of Portugal,
selected in 1890; the flag of the late
empire of Germany, which represent
ed the sovereignty of fourteen distinct
flags and states, established in 1870;
the Italian tricolor, dating from 1848;
the S sh-Norwegian ensign, the
recent flags of the old empires of
China and Japan, and the colors of
the South American States, which
have been modified generally from our
Star Spangled Banner.

dressed ITO the mean-minded and
tight fsted," says that salaries in his
State are such as should "bring the
blush of shame" to the school commits
sioners. A widely published article
from one of the best known syndicates
takes for its text 7. P. Scott's humor-
Gus introduction to his series on salar-
ies-"We beg your pardon for pre-
suming to discuss so small matter"
and has called forth considerable
editorial comment.
In Augusta, Ga, the editor Of the
Herald asks, in large type, "How do
Augusta school teachers live on their
salaries" and after analyzing the fig
ures carefully concludes that "teach-
ing school is an expensive luxury"
Wisconsin is one of the better
States in teachers salaries, but here's
what the editor of the Educational
News Bulletin finds:
Teachers this year will be far
greater than ever; more than 1900
graduates of all courses will certainly
be needed. But returns from all the
public teacher training institutions
show that they will this year turn out
less than 2300 graduates from all
courses. This is one-half the number
needed, and its smallness is due main-
ly to low salaries for teachers as COM
pared with what they can get in other
lines.
an the second place these figures
are low because they are influenced by
the salaries of a considerable number
of women who this year taught for
purely patriotic reasons. Many women
who some years ago left the profess
sion while getting about S75 a month
this year left their families or bust
ness to help out in school work at
much lower rates, sometimes only S45
or $50. They did it for the same rea-
son that men left high salaries to go
as army privates at $50 a month.
These women will not be available
next year any more than high-priced
men will stay in the army as privates.
"If On Wisconsin is to mean any,
thing more than an empty phrase "a
regards the welfare of the States
children, teachers salaries must next
wear be considerably higher"

For Ivy Poisoning

The poison ivy season Is approach
ing, and it may be helpful to list some
common remedies that have proved
beneficial. All remedies are aided by
sponging the affected surface with
ether or grain alcohol first, to remove
the volatile oil. Extract of witch
hazel, tincture of grinNnlia, hot brine,
baking soda dissolvec in hot water,
hyposulphite of soda, as used in photo
graphy, saturated solution of sugar of
lead in alcohol (poisonous), pure olive
oil. Common jewelweed or touch-me-
not, foliage and tender stems bruised
ard applied fresh. is excellent, also
bruised leaves of common plantain.
Salt, soda or witch hazel are all more
effective if used hot.

AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE HAD
$4,000 POETS
The Stars and Stripes Of,
hcially Stands for These
Figures

We know it now by statistics. The
American Army in France contained
$4,000 poets. There is no guess-work
about it. 1t isn't a crude affair OF
census figures, obtained by asking
man "Are You a Poet?" and letting
him say "Yes." Each of those poets
proved it by showing the goods. "The
Stars and Stripes" officially stands for
the figures. Here is what it says
about the poetical aspects Of our war:
"Army verse-sometime two or
three poems, sometimes 25-has ap-
peared in every issue of the Army
newspaper. And Army verse will con-
tinue to appear in every issue until
the Personnel Officer of Censor and
Press Company, Number One says,
Snap it up, boys. Don't keep the
boat waiting
"Army verse is not particularly a
Stars and Stripes fad. 1t is a
Stars and Stripes necessity. Anyone
would think so if he had had to sort
500 poems a week, or something like
$4,000, to be conservative, since the
paper was established.
This newspaper, in the first 50
weeks Of its existence, printed 384
poems, not counting the little carols
on the Sporting Page or verse in such
inside departments as The Listening
Post or Star Shells Possibly 40 Of
these were written by members of the
editorial staff. The rest land the
best) were contributed. With a very
few exceptions, possibly ten or a dozen
every bit Of verse printed was the
work of a soldier.
'The Army Poets column was inau-
gurated May 3, 1918. It is the most
widely read column in the paper"

HOW MOTHER GRAHAM AN
SWERED HERSELF.

"You-you-wish 70 send Cousin
Agatha away?"
I stammered the question in ar
agony OF grieved embarrassment. Ny
brain was whirling with the problem
which my mother-in-law had just
unwittingly thrust upon me.
She looked at me keenly. and
felt my face flaming
Didn't YOU hear me say 500 she
asked. with touch OF her usual ac-
erbity. and then there come into her
voice again the wistfulness / had

She smiled family and put out her

apprehension in her own mind
Was this the secret reason for her
changed demeanor?
At Wits END.
She put my thought into words a
moment later
Il sometimes think / shall not
trouble anybody very long" she said
slowly. and / cried out in protest
Don't, don't say that, mother,

She looked at me searchingly.
