today are red, white and
blue in diverse combinations. Here
and there green is shown, but red,
white and blue are the colors of nine
teen out of twenty-five national flags
and are the colors of practically all
the flags of the nations of Europe.
The significance of national colors
goes back to the days of heraldry and
many of the devices displayed on flags
are either heraldic designs or have
been derived from such designs. Red
stands for courage and military forti-
tude, blue symbolizes loyalty and truth
and white stands for peace and SINGER
ity. In the Italian, Irish, Brazilian
and Mexican flags green is one of the
colors, and in heraldry this color sig
nitied hope and joy. Black, which ap-
pears in the German flag in combina-
ton with red and white, stands for
consistency.

The Need OF Scd.

People are asking in these days of
upheaval and chaos, "What is wrong
with the world" 1t needs God: 1t
needs the religion of Jesus Christ and
1t needs that religion practically en-

1t in the lives of these men of the
gospel. We need men like that null

flag are three circular figures, which
it is thought were put there to repre-

a gold scroll. The flag is two feet long
and foot and half wide.
The design of the American flag may

SMALL CLAIMS COURT.
Is of Benefit TO Poor Man Having Lit.
tie to Advance for Costs.

As Reginald Heber Smith truly says,
in his recent volume on Justice and
the Poor" the inability to provide JUS
tice in small causes has always been
one Of the weakest points in our sys-
TEN of administering justice. The
method provided by the common law
for proving any type Of small claim
i cumbersome slow and expensive out
Of all proportion to the matter in
volved Any complicated procedure,
however small may be the amount at
stake, requires an attorney, but the ex-
pense for his services j., rs Mr. Smith
says, more than the traffic will bear
Besides. court costs constitute a bur
den prohibtory to small litigation. The
result is that small wage Garner
cheated out OF a part of his wages
may better bear the loss than attempt
to recover it the more so because the
debtor is allowed 10 file an appearance
and answer, TO have the case continued
once or twice, and, when it is finally
called, to default But the wage earners
who pass through such an experience,
energies from it with bitter resentment
and feeling that there Is no such
thing as justice for the poor
Here is where the value of the small
claims courts comes in. The pity is
that they exist in comparatively few
American cities; though their results
are 50 beneficial that they might well
be extended to every city of any. con
siderable size in the country Mr.. Smith
describes their workings in Cleveland,
Chicago, Minneapolis, Portland Ore,
Topeka, Leavensworth and Kansas
City. In the Topeka court, for example,
the claims adjusted have run from the
$40 maximum prescribed by law to a
claim of 40 cents brought by newsbov.
Costs are abolished. Delays in obtain
ing a trial are eliminated, for the Judge
can hold his court day or night and at
any place. A legislative fiat forbids
attorneys from 'iNermeddling" before
the court, so there are no attorneys ex.
penses, The Judge himself makes out
the forms, summons the defendant and
any necessary witnesses, investigates
the facts in any manner he chooses, and
hears the parties involved tell their
own stories. In fact these courts are
less like courts and more like legal
lied aid societies, with this difference,
that the Judge has the sanction Of the
state behind him, and his decision,
when made, becomes legal Judgment.
The small claims court of Portland.
Ore, heard 1928 cases in seventeen
months, and only two of them were an.
pealed. The Cleveland small claims
court handles only matters involving
less than $50. In 1916 it disposed of
6ls2 cases not counting the claims
which were settled without the com.
mencement of suit. The Chicago small
claims court came into existence in
1916 as branch of the municipal
court. 1t has disposed of vast mum.

BETTER THAN CALONH[
Thousands Have Discovered

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub

almost instantaneous. These little olive.
colored tablets are the result of DR..

liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calofnel does, but have no
bad after effects They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold Of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
