Tour Flag and Ny Flag

The banner breaks in glory the breeze,
The trumpets sing from all their brazen threats
A chorused chant of thrilling harmonies
The drumbeats throb amid the ringing notes
An echo but growing echo yes
An echo that is flung from hill to plain,
Born from the chord that not struck in vain.
The diapason of the booming guns
Blends with the shriler sounding of the cheers
All, this had been foreheard by those great
Who planned the structure in the former years,
Who dreamed and dared and gave of wealth and life
That this great nation-song should never cease,
Who blent the surging song of somber strife
With all the after croons of honored peace!
And SO today the southland and the north
Clasp hands with their dbrothered and west
And in the mighty song their lips send forth
The fullness Of our faith is all expressed.
And deeper than the very deepest chord
Are the foundations laid in days agone
When men for hearth and home and manhood warred--
The truths our nation has been builded
And higher than the farthest reach of song
That quivers in the bosom of the sky
There flames the flag of faith above the throng-
The flag whose plan and purpose cannot die.
The flag of promise floats from sea to sea,
The buges shout in answer to the drum
And send sense of strength to you and me
From days that were, and are, and are to come!

TOPIC TONIGHT

Gone Dollar Bid" is a typical Ker
rigan story with all the dash and red
blooded romance that has established
Mr.. Kerrigan as the foremost actor
of his type that the screen has ever
borne. The story is laid in that part
of Kentucky which has been used so
often with so much success in both
song and story. In zone Dollar BID
Mr. Kerrigan is seen as a young man
who has been raised in the negro
quarters of the town, neglected by
both whites and blacks alike, until at
last he attracts the attention of Vir
ginia Dare, daughter of wealthy
planter, who takes him to her fathers
plantation to give him chance in life.
The romance that follows, which is
permeated with that charm of which
Mr.. Kerrigan is a master, unfolds one
of the most powerful photo interpre-
tations in which this most popular
star has ever appeared.

N EX|CAN OIL
SITUATION Up TO
MEX. CONGRESS
(By Associated Pressl

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 3.--Although
the Mexican congress was called into
extraordinary session on May !, for
the purpose of passing, among others,
a petroleum law that would carry out
the provisions of Article 27 of the
new constitution, which nationaliZes
oil lands, up to the present time the
question has not been brought up for
discussion in either the senate of the
chamber of deputies.
Ell Democratic states that the two
petroleum commissions appointed hy
the lower house are considering the
objection raised by the foreign oil
interests that Article 27 is in direct
opposition to Article IA of the consti-
tuition, which prohibits retroactive
legislation.
Unofficial reports are to the effect
that President Carranza has washed
his hands of the matter and has put
it up to congress to find solution.
If this theory is based on fact, ac-
cording to high officer of an Amer
lean oil corporation, the prolonged
question would indicate that it's lead
delay of congress in taking up the oil
ers are having a difficult time to re-
concile the provisions of the constitu-
ton.
