The latest Paramount-Ince photo
play stepping Out" with Enid Ben
nett as star is a story based on the
universal inclination of men and wo.
men to step out of their sphere some
times into one they believe more to

The outcome might indicate that
the writer had in mind when he gave
the title to the story the old proverb

her greatest happiness in %consecrat-

who accepts her sacrifices as his right

How these reverse dispositions are
balanced and a happy com%panionship

story of a woman who regrets the life

He is only pretending to live with

Americans
Will Honor Flag
Suggestions To Make DemOnStr-
atoms Uniform In Giving Honor
To Our COuntry's Emblem -
No Law As To Ordinary Usage

(Dy request of the American Citizen
ship Committee.)
There is no federal law in force per
tanning to the ann of displaying,
hanging or saluting the United States
flag or prescribing any ceremonies that
should be observed in connection
Herewith. In fact there are but two
federal laws on the statute books that
have any bearing upon this subject;
the act of Congress approved
February goth, 1905, providing that a
trademark cannot be registered which
consists or comprises inter ALA The
flag, coat of arms or other insignia, of
the United States or any stimulation
thereof" and the other act of Congress
approved February Sth, 1917 providing
certain penalties for the d~esecration,
m~utilation or improper use OF the flag
within the District of Columbia. Sew
eral states of the union have enacted
laws which have more or less bearing
upon the general subject and it seems
probable that many counties and
municipalities have also passed ordin-
ances concerning the matter to govern
action within their own jurisdiction.
American flag by aliens has been is
Issued by the Department of Justice,
which has sent the following notice to
Federal attorneys and marshals:
ANY alien enemy tearing down,
mutilating, abusing or Decorating the
United States flag in any way will be
regarded as a danger to the public
peace or safety within the meaning of
regulation IL of the proclamation of
the President issued April 9th, 1917,
and will be subject to summary arrest
and punishment"
Considerable discussion has arisen
throughout the country concerning the
proper manner of hanging and display
ig the flag for decorative purposes. AS
already stated, there is no Federal
law governing the subject, and indivi
dual opinion differs as to the procedure
that should or should not be followed.
1t has been suggested that as far as
possible hanging of the flag should be
restricted to suspending it from a pole
in the regular way, and not to display
ing it otherwise; that for purposes of
decoration only the national colors
should be used in the form of bunting
and not to be used in the form of the
flag; that if it is nevertheless the
desire to use the flag for decorative
purposes it should always be hung
flat, whether on the inside or outside
OF buildings with the union to the
north or east, so there will be a gen.
eral uniformity in the position of the
union of each flag displayed; hat the
flag should rarely be displayed in a
horizontal position or laid flat; that
under no circumstances should it be
hung where it can easily be contamin-
ated or soiled, or be draped over
chairs or benches to be used for seat
ing purposes, and that no object OF
emblem of any kind should be placed
above or upon it. This department
sees no objection to flying the flag at
night on civilian property, provided ii
is not so flown for advertising pur
poses.

out the country among civilians to dis

life, pcrishables, and milk into the
city from the country. And today, AS
