and population. New territories were
acquired, and it became clear that the
number of states would greatly increase. If
stripe were added for every new state,
there would come time when the dignity
and beauty of the national emblem would
be gone.
Congress took the design of the flag I'M
der consideration, and on March 4, 1918,
the number of stripes was fixed for all
time, thirteen, representing the original
thirteen states while the number of stars
was to be that of the full number of states
in the Union, one star to be added for
every state admitted.
We can see the wisdom of not increas-
ing the number of stripes in the flag. Had
stripe been added for every new state,
we should have a flag with about fifty
stripes, and the simplicity of the design
would have been changed to sheet of
narrow lines of red and white, which in
a breeze would give the effect of sheet
of solid red.-Ea.

NEVER TOO LATE

1t is never too late, says O. S. Marden
in "New Success"
To begin to smile if we have been
frowning.
To save if we have hitherto been spend
thrifts.
To be honest if we have been dishonest.
To be careful and painstaking if we
have been slovenly and slipshod.
To be considerate and kind if we have
been thoughtless and cruel.
To form the habit of looking for the
good in others instead of the bad.
To give an encouraging word instead
of criticism and blame.
To love instead of resenting and hating.
To be generous if we have been mean
and sting.
To forgive if we have received unkind
treatment from others.
To apologize if we have been in the
wrong.
To give lift to the unfortunate, to
light anothers candle by our own, which
will lose none of its light thereby.
To turn over a new leaf; to leave off
doing wrong; to turn our back upon an
evil past and face worthy goal.-Ex.

in the matter of foreign tongues, but the
fact is there.
The French language will prosper after
the war. In more or less perfect form it
will be brought back to America, to Aus
tralia, to Canada, to South Africa by SOL
diers and auxiliary war workers to the
number of many tens of thousands. But
for every Anglo-Saxon whom the war has
taught French it is safe guess that there
are a hundred mid Europeans to whom as
a result of the war, emphasizing already
existing conditions, the English tongue
will be brought close to home. Because
the new Czecho- Slovakia must be in in
innate touch with a million Czechos and
Slovaks in the United States, because
every one of the new nationalities in Cen
trail Europe looks in the first place to these
United States, the American language will
be familiar among all foreign languages
to these people. For that matter, the
numerous commissions and propagandas
of mid-Europe which have been busy in
the United States will have brought back
with them the use, if not the idiom, of
our language.-Ex.

AMERICA AWAKE

Since the close of the war it has been
revealed that American geniuses had per-
fected number of death dealing devices
which were more deadly than anything
in use by any army and which would
have annihilated the Germans had they
been employed.
Lewisite, poison gas invented by an
American college professor, would have
been turned against the enemy had the
struggle lasted longer and with what re-

THE STRIPES IN THE FLAG

Few Americans know that for twenty
three years our flag had two more stripes
than at present. During the war of 1912
this was true and the Fort McHenry flag
that inspired Francis Scott Key to write
the Star Spangled Banner, was a flag of
fifteen stripes.
On June IA, 777, Congress fixed the
colors and design of the flag and provided
that there should be thirteen stripes and
thirteen stars. But by an act of Congress
in 1894, additional stars and stripes were
added for Vermont and Kentucky, which
had been made states thus came the fifteen
stripes.
After the last war with England, our
country made vast strides in commerce

On July 4, 1918, the national emblem
in its present form was adopted. AS the
number of states entering the Union began
increasing it was seen that the old system
of adding a stripe to the flag for each
new state would have to be changed. In
1916 Pater Wendover of N. Y. offered a
resolution in congress to have the Union
consist of one big star in the center of
blue field and single stars representing
the states should be arranged in circles
about it. Two years later when the mat
ter was voted on it was decided to have
the stars all the same size. The resolu-
ton was passed in March and went into
effect July 4.-Ex.

suit can be imagined when it is stated
that this gas is IL times more deadly than
any in use in Europe; that the slightest
trace of the smallest quantity possible of
measurement means certain death and
that the United States had enough manu-
featured to wipe the German race from
the earth.
Even more wonderful is the automatic
aeroplane which was developed at Day
ton, Ohio, by Orville Wright and govern
ment experts. This device made it posi-
BILE for plane to be flown in any direc-
ton desired without human being In
tryout at Dayton, machine so equipped
even looped the loop. By the use of the
automatic aeroplane cities and towns in
the interior of Germany could have been
bombed with Lewisite with terrible re-
suits without the Americans being COM
PEELED to risk the safety of single flyer.
These are only two of the marvellous
inventions which Americans developed
for use against the enemy. There are
many others including non-inAamable
gas for dirigible balloons, shell detector
which heralds the approach of big shells
before their arrival and tractors for the
movement of eight-inch guns with so
much facility as though upon we'll bal
lasted railroad tracks.
Unkind critics have sometimes alleged
that Americans are given to footing their
own horn, but all these secrets were well
guarded and the use of any of these in
struments of warfare would have been
total surprise to the enemy. On the other
hand the Germans made every effort to
spread the belief that the kaiser's Prus-
slams were about to put sudden end to
the war by the employment of some terri
BILE new device. The German inventions
failed to materialize and since the armis-
tice no evidence has been found that they
had weapon more deadly than the long
range gun, the use of which was of
doubtful value. American inventors and
experts delivered the goods without adj
vertising the fact in advance and this
country holds secrets which would be of
incalculable value if we should ever again
be plunged into war.-Toledo Blade.

STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

Hanging from the walls of the National
Museum in Washington is one of the most
famous flags in the world-the "Star-
Spangled Banner" that hoated over Fort
McHenry during the British attack in
September, 1914. The flag measures
twenty-six by thirty-six feet. In the bat
tie Fort McHenry, just outside of Balti-
more, was in command of Major George
Armistead. The garrison flag was made
by Mrs. Mary Pinkersgill, assisted by
her daughter, Mrs. Caroline T. Purdy.
In the battle one of the stars was shot
away by British shell. After the war
the banner became the property of Major
Armistead and was left by him to his
daughter, Mrs. Appleton. 1t was from
the son of that lady, Mr.. Eben Appleton,
that the museum received it in 1912. The
arrangement is that the flag shall remain
permanently in the custody of the museum
and must not be permitted to leave the
building.
Time has somewhat marred the beauty
of the banner, but no American can look
at the fading and worn fabric without a
thrill, for it is the flag that gave birth to
the national anthem.-Ex.

ENGLISH AS WORLD LANGUAGE

All the indications are that the univer-
sal language will be English. The for
NAL draft of the treaty of Versailles was
couched in the traditional language of
Foch and Clemenceau, but the discussions
at Paris and Versailles were in the tongue
which President Wilson and most of our
peace delegates have best at their disposal.
Perhaps it is no compliment to us that the
European peacemakers should be in a
position to meet us more than half way

SARACENS CARRIED FIRST FLAG

1t is probable that the first flag was car
ried by the Saracens in their battles with
the Crusaders, the latter adopting the idea,
which thus spread over Europe. Long
before that there had been national STAN
dards, however, as the ancient Egyptians
carried before their hosts the figure of a
sacred animal on spear. A stuffed cat
impaled on a stick was the forerunner of
the banners now used. In the days of the
old Persian empire a blacksmith's apron
was carried aloft at the head of the army,
while the standard of the Turks was a
horses tail.
The Grand Union flag, raised at Cam
bridge in 1875, was the first used by the
American army that had the thirteen al
ternate red and white stripes, the number
symbolic of the thirteen colonies. Many
flags were proposed during the revolution
and the early days of the republic. One
of them, designed by Thomas Paine, was
composed of all the colors of the rainbow,
symbolizing peace.-Detroit NesVs.
