Reciprocity Impossible Now.

Reciprocity is impossible at present
and a general, and indiscrimnate reap
plication of mutnateral and bilateral
treaties cannot be accepted.
Consular relations are not reciprocal
~ established owing to the war activity
Of German consuls. Private property
of Germans abroad may be justly used
to meet reparation charges. The prop
erty of German institutions for re.
search and education, ii is held. can
not be immune in the light of their past
activities
The German proposals. relative to aer-
ial navigation have not been accepted.
II is pointed out that Germany's oh
iections to the clauses pertaining TO
ports and waterways are too general
to admit of a detailed reply. After out
linging the objections made in the
German counter proposals, the reply
declares that until the transitory period
is passed and the general conventions
can be laid down, IL has appeared es-
sential that the provisions of this sec
ton of the treaty must be enforced.
Provision is made for the extension
Of these provisions and for the ulti
mate grant OF reciprocity, but only
after five years. unless the League of
Nations decides to proong the period.
No attempt is made to prevent the
legitimate use by Germany iof her
economic resources, but rather to Sc
cure freedom of transit for the young,
land-locked states. The commissions
established by this section of the treaty
will function not alone over German
territory. but over at least one allied
country as well, it is said
The two notes already sent in reply
to the German notes relative to the la
bor clause of the treaty. are said to
cover this subject. The treaty makes

LIKE BETSY ROSS
How to Make the American Flag-Brief Account of
How the First Flag Was Made


upholstery business on Arch street
in Philadelphia. The confirmation
of this report is not to be found IN
the Journal of Congress.
There seems to be little doubt
that the American flag is a growth
rather than creation. Few of
the writer's have declared that both
the stars and the stripes were
derived from the coat of arms of
Washington's family, which con-
tains both devices, but beyond that
coincident no other evidence has
been produced to prove this.
On June IA. 1777, the American
congress in session at Philadelphia
adopted the following resolution:
Resolved, That the flag of the
13 United States be 13 stripes, al
ternate red and white. that the
Union be 13 stars, white in blue
field, representing a new constella-
tiOn."
The credit of making the first
flag is given to Betsy Ross. Will
liam j. Candy, a grandson of Mrs.
Ross, declared that Betsy Ross was
shown a rough drawing of the flag,
which was explained by General
Washington. She objected to the
six-pointed stars. and suggested
that they be fve-pointed. Gen
eral Washington is supposed to
have redrawn the sketch, changing
the stars to five points. At first
Washington declared that five
pointed stars would be hard to
make, but Mrs. Ross demonstrated
that by one clip of her scissors she
was able to make perfect five
point star.
In 1912, the United States con-
gress admitted Arizona and New
Mexico into the Union and the
stars then numbered 48.. The law
did not provide how the stars were
to be arranged, and for long time
a considerable diversity existed in
this respect. However. on Octo-
ber % of that year, the proportion
was definitely fixed and the man.
ner in which the stars we're to be
placed was determined. Since that
time the same rule has held good,
that of six rows of eight stars
each.

circuit.
In this inning after Hogan had
hit two batsmen in succession and
passed the third on balls, he then
allowed two singles and one two
bagger which resulted in six scores
crossing home plate before he de-
cided it was time to retire. Mean
time only one man had been put
out. Garry, who relieved him,
very bravely shouldered a hard
proposition. Only one man gone,
two safely on and the score now
standing ten to nothing. Keeney
the next man up got a safe hit,
scoring John, and Jam was called
out by the jumps for not touching
second base. Lohr struck out re-
firing the side. For the remain
ing three innings of the game the
locals were held scoreless and in
fact they were unable to get man
safely beyond first base.
At no time did the visitors Of
fensive work become of a serious
nature to the locals. During the
game only seven men got safely on
and at one time one man managed
to get as far as third and that was
as near the scoring point as they
could get.

Do you know what an inch of
rain" means to farmers? When
the weather bureau reports that an
inch of rain has fallen, it means
that the amount of water that
descended from the sky in that
particular shower would have
covered the surrounding territory
to depth of one inch, if none of
it had run off or soaked into the
ground.
1t means that on one acre of
ground water to fill more than 900
barrels of As gallons each has fall
len. That quantity of water
weighs more than 10 tons. If
the rainstorm covered 1000 acres,
which would be a very small
shower indeed, 113, 200 tons of
water would fall from the clouds.
Rainstorms frequently cover
whole counties, and often two or
three or five inches of water fall in
one storm. In that case the weight
of water that falls to the earth is
simply enormous. A single wide
spread and heavy storm might re-
suit, it has been estimated, in
100, 900, 100000 tons of rain.-
