SIGNAL FOR AID
STARTS TRADE;
PLAN Is FLAYED

Neighbors in the vicinity Of 500
Twentieth street have frequently
noticed lately the misuse Of Unit
ed States flag at that address.
The occupants of the house bear
ing that address evidently suffered
from a constant immigration OF
flies through numerous holes in the
lower part of their front screen
door Then bright idea occurred
to them.
Hastily digging up an American
flag bought by mistake long time
before, they carefully tackled the
banner, union down. over the Of
Tending rents in the screen. The eff
feet was successful both from an
esthetic and a unitarian point of
view.
However an American flag hung
upside down on a front door screen
is a violation of the etiquette of the
flag and an odious sight to patriotic
citizens. Therefore the fact that
such treatment is wrong is set be-
fore the public.
II it came to a showdown this
family would probably base its de-
tense upon the fact that display of
the flag in such position is well
known to be a sign of distress. How
such a signal would apply in the
cited case is left to individual i'm
agination.
