Never Must Another
Flag Float Above
Americas Old Glory

When the American Flag is used
for decorative purposes on buildings,
etc, the adjutant general Of the
United States army suggests that
it should be so placed that the union
is to the north on streets running
north and south, and on the east on
buildings running east and wes;
that the flag should rarely be dis
played in a horizontal position or laii
flat, and that when used on build
ings it should be gathered in the
form of bunting rather than spread
as flag.
The proper use Of the flag is to
suspend it from a flag staff. No
other flag or contrivance should be
placed on the staff above the Ameri-
can flag.
For Decoration Day and other
occasions which call for the flag
at half-mast 1t should first be run
to full mast and then lowered to
the half.mast position. When being
taken from the half-mast it should
be raised to full-mast before lower
ing to remove. On Decoration Day
the flag flies at full-mast from sun.
rise till noon, and then at half-mast
from noon till sundown.

ALFRED SMITH GIVEN
new TRIAL BY S. c.

The decision criminal case
from Middle Tennessee counhe
consumed the greater part o
the session of the Supreme
Court yesterday.
The third murder case of wide
public interest to run afoul Of
the statute of 1919, changing
the procedure for fixing the
punishment of murder in the
first degree, was the case Of
Alfred Smith ct al. from Put.
nam County. Convicted of mur-
der in the first degree and SEN
fenced to electrocution in the
trial court The case was rev.
ersed and remanded for a new
trial on the ground that the
jury did not fix the punishment
to be imposed in their verdict
finding the defendants guilty.
Smith and his co-defendants,
Jim Madewell and Will Robin
son, were convicted for the
murder of Raphael Perlmutter,
a soldier member of the band Of
the band Of the First Division
of the United States Army.
Purlmutter disappeared while
his band was at Cookeville on
tour, and his body was later
found bearing evidences that he
had been cruelty beaten to death.
Smith, Madewell and Robinson
were found guilty on second
trial, after the first resulted in
a hung jury. on the testimony
of an alleged accomplice, cor
roborated by circumstantial evi.
dence, the jury finding them
guilty of murder in the first
degree with mitigating circum-
staices.,,
The death penalty was inn
posed by the trial Judge on the
theory that the statute author
lied such a judgement upon a
finding of guilty without miti-
eating circumstances, Follow
ing its holding in the cases Of
Maurice Mayes from Knoxville
and Henry Gholston from Mem
phis, both noted murder cases,
the Supreme Court again held
that the statute of 1919 entirely
the trial Judge of rend-
ering any judgement on a con-
viction for murder in the first
degree, except upon a verdict
itself fixing the punishment to
be imposed in the judgement.
An application for bail was
made by Smith and his codefen-
dants pending the new trial.
This application was overruled
by the court.

CHINESE STARVING BY
THE THOUSANDS DAILY
Great Horde Gathers in Fields
and Slowly Starve TO Dealk

NEW YORK, Feb. IS. -Thir-
ty thousand Chinese gathered on
a great bare field outside TENT
sin, China waited paintly for
food which never arrived and
then slowly died there. &. S.
Glines, American engineer. re-
ported upon his arrival here
after passing six months in the
famine stricken areas of North
China.
The condition of the starving
hordes was so pitiful, Mr.. Glines
said. that he did not have the
heart to take photographs of
such misery" He said that the
crowd at Tientsin had gathered
because they believed food would
reach them there more quickly
than in the country. Along =
roadside near the field. he told of
seeing the bodies of a whole
family-father. mother and: five
children each a few yards
apart where they had dropped
and died.
THE crop failures have been
almost complete in the fve great
provinces that make up the
northern part Of China proper
Chihli, Shantung. Shansi. Shensi
and Honan," said Mr.. Glines.
This is the part of the country
around Peking, south of Mon
golia and Manchuria.
Explaining why the sectien of
China not stricken by famine
were unable to relieve the star
walton districts, Mr.. Gins said:
"China is largely an agricultural
nation. Ninty per cent of the
populatian lives on the tiny
farms into which the country is
divided. The Chinese work
their land to the limit. but they
cannot raise more than enough
to feed themselves. Each dis
trict can raise barely enough
food to support its own people.
That is why the prosperous
provinces have been able to do
so little for the famine-striken
ones. They have not the food
to send.
THE crops in North China
have failed since 1919. The
people have been unable to get
more than scraps of food from
other parts Of China. They
have been unable to get much
from outside because food has
been high priced all over the
world. They have tried to move
to better districts where they
could raise crops, but such dis
tricts are so far and they have
had such poor resources that
have died like flies on the way.
There is no question that
more than 100000 Chinese
will starve to death this winter
spring unless food is rushed to
them" He declared that mil
lions viii die despite aid that
the population of 5000. 600 in
the famine districts is in such
dire straits that it will be a ply
sical impossibility to rush
enough food to them to save all.
Great irrigation projects. con-
trole of flood producing streams,
and Improvement of transpprts.
tion were cited By Mr.. Glines as
the only salvation Of the sgHcul-
tural aud economic life of China.
These things win be done in
time" he said. for Ctina %
awake. America will probably
have a big part in this future Of
China. but we must lay aside
these things for the present and
devote every effort to getting
food to the starving millicss"
