The Prominence of that
Old Flag Of Ours
which George Washington
and Betsy Ross
created in a humble home on
Arch Street, Philadelphia, is
more and more apparent every
day.
1t Is the Chief Fact Of This
Hour the World Over

In later years that flag of ours
has been recognized and given
an equal place beside the flags of
other nations, being the repre-
sentative of a new empire, but it
was to many only the picturesque
flag of yourg and growing
nation.
A new day has dawned; new
glory has come, and mighty
baptism of power has fallen upon
the American flag.
To the soldier and sailor boys
it is evidently living thing.
You saw that yourself, did you
not, when the returning men proud
ly filed past you with the colors,
their bright eyes shining as they
gazed upon the flag that they had
glorihed on the field of battle
1t seemed as though they were
thinking and singing softly

Meanwhile, other employees of the
Colonial Bank, hearing the report of
Ryans revolver, dashed across the
street. They arrived just in time to
see Boylan pick up the satchcl with

the robbers from his revolver with the
other.
Ryan and Boylan were assisted to
