SLANG TERM OF OLD ORIGIN
AppeIIation "Deadhead" First Came
Into Use When Dead City Of
Pompeii Was Flourishing.

Did you ever stop and think why, If
you are so fortunate as to acquire a
free ticket to something you should
be called a deadhead? The reason for
this bit of slang dates way back to
the days of the ancients. In the ma
tional museum in Naples there is a
case of old theater tickets that the
Pompeiians didn't get chance to use
before their theater season was
brought to such an abrupt close by
the eruption of Vesuvius. They are
made in various shapes, each shape
showing which part of that particular
ticket will admit you. You could get
into the peanut gallery only when you
presented the little pigeons, and to
this day that gallery is called the pig
con loft in Italy. Then there were
little skulls modelled of ivory, and
these were used only by those who
were to be admitted free. Hence,
"deadhead."

sun porch I'd the rear, which in sum-
mer makes an attractive breakfast
room, and adds to the sense of spa
ciousness of the dining room. Toward
the other side of the house is the
kitchen, which also is of good size
and is designed to accommodate the
most modern kitchen equipment, so
placed as to bring the greatest eff
cheney. To the rear of the kitchen is
a porch, leading to the back yard.
The bedrooms are along one side OF
che house, one adjoining the living
room, the other to the back of the
house. Between the two bedrooms is
the bathroom, which opens off hall
that connects the bedrooms. Double
doors lead from the rear bedroom to
the sleeping porch.
Thus it will be seen that although
this would be termed fve-room
house, it really is much larger.
The graceful lines of this house,
with the opportunity afforded for
window boxes and flower beds and
shrubs surrounding it, make it par
ticularly attractive from the outside.
This advance in bungalow design
embodies the ideas of number of ar
chitects, who have devoted much
study to designing small homes. This
type of home is engaging the atten-
ton of the leading members of the
architectural profession more and
more, as those who build homes now
adays have learned that a little
money spent for advice from expert
enced and capable architects is worth
while.
Compact Arrangement.
The design and floor plan are recon-
mended for study to those who intend

the more it will be found that here

"the modern conveniences" and leaves
little to be desired in appearance.
Just one word about the desirable
ity of building this year. The cessa-
ton of the war has released many
thousands of men skilled in the build
ing trades. It also has released guam
titles of materials that have been
used in war work. Both materials
and labor now are available in album

Owning a home is the inherent de-
sire of every head of a family. But
it is doubtful if the pride of owner

in the wife and the other members of
the household. The latter spend
much greater part Of their time in
the home than does the man, whose
days are devoted to business. Conse-
Quently it is the wife and daughters
who have the greatest interest in the

There will be much building Of
small homes this year. The govern
ment has removed the restrictions
that were i'm posed on building as a
war measure and plans that were

BRIEF HISTORY OF THE FLAG
Glorious Record From January 10,
1776, to Its Proud Position in
the World in 1919.

The Stars and Stripes was raised
on the heights near Boston on Janu-
airy 10, 1776, and the British troops be-
lieved it to be evidence of submits
sion to the king. The Betsy Ross
flag, the official flag, came later.
After the declaration of independ-
ence, July 4, 1776, the first salute to it
was given by the Dutch island of st.
Eustat1ous in the West Indies by Jo-
names de Graft, commander of the
port.
When Kentucky and Vermont came
into the Union in 1854 two additional
stars were placed On the field, but
they were discarded after much de-
bate in congress and the original thir-
teen we're restored in 1918.
The first flag that floated over for
eign and captured fort was at Nassau,
January %, 1778. The first carried
to London was on vessel February 3,
1888. It floated in China in 1884.
It was carried around the world from
1887 to 1870. The first blood shed I'M
der it was in Ireland in 1890 during
mob riot over bridge built by Ameri-
can engineers. The first salute to it
given by an English vessel was in May,
1871.
One of Napoleon's generals remark
ed to the illustrious man that senti-
ment had no place in the thought of
a country. Napoleon replied: "Sen-
timent concerns what most enriches
life"

WHAT FLAG MEANS TO ALL
DAYS of Sacrifice and Devotion Have
Made 1t Cause Of Pride to
Every American.

The flag means more to Americans
in the year 1919 than it has ever meant
in our lives. And why? Not, surely,
because it is more familiar. Nor yet
because it floats over hosts of soldiers
and mighty fleets. There were soldiers
and fleets before. Not, therefore, be-
cause Of it's new part in the panoply
Of war.
It means more to us because we
have put more into it. Because, after
years of peace and plenty in which we
thought of our flag chiefly as some
thing to protect and guard us, we have
in time of war and grief and hardship
learned to know our flag as something
for us to protect and guard and serve.
A flag, in short, is as great as it's
people-and no greater. When they
are great and generous and coura-
geous, it is great and beautiful and
holy. When they falter and haggle,
their flag is less than nothing to them,
as to the world at large.
Ours to love and cherish and die for
in the greatest of causes! Therefore
a source of pride and of deep emotion
to every American. That is the lesson
we are learning in these days Of sacri-
fee and devotion, when flying bit of
color becomes the most glorious and
joyous and sacred thing in the whole
wide world.-New York Tribune.

Weird Sun Legend of Stonehenue.

In times of peace there was always
an excursion to Stonehenge on June
20 to see the sun rise on the follow
ing morning, for on the 21st old Sol's
first rays are supposed to strike the
great altar-stone, on "Friar's Heel"
This, tradition tells us, used to be
the signal for the sacrifice of human
victims in the days that are long gone
by, and it is easy, when there, to i'm
agine the early Druids, in their white
robes, oak-crowned and wearing the
mystic symbols round their necks,
gathering to make their offerings to
Bel, as they called the sun, and to
the serpent, the Beltine fires, glowing
over the great plain the while.

flag Dap
ME first American flag, for
mally adopted by congress on
limo Id 1777 is said t0 hava

ME first American flag, for
mally adopted by congress on
June Il, 1777, is said to have
been made out of a soldiers white
shirt, an old blue army overcoat
and a red flannel petticoat. It
was first hoisted by the Revolution
airy army during Burgoyne's campaign
and was first flung to the ocean breeze
by Paul Jones.
We have not advanced so far from
those humble but glorious beginnings
as to have lost the SAVIOR. The COM
bination that went into the making of
the first flag answered all require
ments. History has neglected the own
er of the white shirt and the old over
coat. It has likewise courteously re-
Trained from mentioning the original
pessessor Of the petticoat. 1t is enough
that all were Americans.
But the vicissitudes of history have
not dimmed the luster of those first
Stars and Stripes. Rather have they
grown more glorious in the eyes of the
people over whom they float.
The observances of 1919, while COM
memorating the glories of the past,
must necessarily take account of the
new epoch upon which we have en-
tered. But there is no change in the
significance of the national emblem. AS
before, it stands for justice, freedom
and humanity. There will be no new
teachings, but a fresh conservation Of
the old.
