ORIGIN OF FLAGS
Earliest National Symbols Were Fig
ures Worked in Stone.


The flag Is the result of many CEN
turies of development, says the De-
triot News. Today it is the symbol
of nations, the distinguishing mark Of
armies and fleets, departments OF
governments and parties, and the per-
sonal standard OF rules and officers.
In the early dawn Of civilization
man felt the need of some token that
would distinguish family from fam
ily and tribe from tribe, and from such
ancient symbols came the standards
Of the present
The earliest national symbols were
figures worked in stone. metal or
wood. The Egyptians, Persians, AS
syrians and Romans carried stand
ards Of this type.
The imperial standard of Emperor
Constantine was made OF purple silk,
richly embroidered with gold. It us
ualiy hung from a horizontal cross
bar The waving flag is supposed to
have originated with the Saraccns
This form of standard came into gen.
cral use in the middle ages.
Flag Day, June II, is the anniver-
sGry Of the adoption of the Stars and
Stripes by the Continental congress
in 1777. The day has been more or
less observed since 1889.
In that year George Bolch. a New
York teacher. Commemoratcd the birth
of the flag with special patriotic eXer-
ciscs by his kindergarten pupils. Pa
triotic societies took up the obscr-
vance, and Flag Day has become well

The florin is really Florence piece.
At Florence coinage was made of very
pure silver and therefore had high
value in the eyes of the merchants
Edward Ill resolved TO produce an
English coin of equal purity and value
which, when it appeared, at once re-
ccived the name of Florence piece,
flOrincr or form.
Penny comes from n Saxon word
pannig, meaning pledge. The origi-
nal meaning of the word is seen in the
phrase "binding penny" pledge given
to seal bargain.
. The farthing is really fourthing, or
fourth part. Saxon pennies had grooves
cut in them in the form Of n cross so
that they could be broken at will into
four fourthings.--London Tit-Bits.

At the river-gate they turned tc
wave a last goodby and disappeared
in the woods. At that hour the boy
far over in the wilderness ahead of
them had cooked squirrel that he
had shot for his breakfast and was
gnawing 1t to the bones. Soon he rose
and at q trot sped on toward his home
beyond the Cumberland. And with
him. etched with acid on the steel of
his brain, sped two images-Barbara' S
face as he last saw 1t and the face of
young Dane Grey.
The boys tracks were easily to be
seen in the sandy road, and from them
Dave judged that he must have left
long before daylight. And he was trav-
cling rapidly. At sunset Dave knew
that they were not far behind him., but
when darkness hid the lads tracks
Dave stopped for the night. Again
Erskine had get the start by going on
before day, and it was the middle Of
the forenoon before Dave, missing the
tracks for a hundred yards, halted and
turned back to where little stream
crossed the road, and dismounted, lead
Ing his horse and scrutlnizlng the

Hes seen us tracking him and he's

where around here" And he hallOoed
ut the top of his voice, which rang
down the forest aisles. A war-whoop
answered almost in their ears that
made the blood leap in both the boys.
Even Dave wheeled with cooked rife,
and the lad stepped from behind a
bush scarcely ten feet behind them.
"Well, by gum,' shouted Dave,

the boy had stood with Barbara, who
had been allowed TO look on for
while. Again my lord had summoned
Dave to him and asked many Ques-
tlons about the wilderness beyond the
Cumberland, and he even had the boy
to come up and shake hands, and
asked him where he had learned to
rNe so well.
Before Barbara was sent home
Hugh and Dane Grey, dressed with
great care, came in. with an cyaggcra-
ton of dignity and politHnesS that

Hugh, catching Barbara'S sad and re-

her, but Dane made straight for her

FLIERS FLY BACKWARD
Australian Air Current Prevents Gid
ina Down.

NY NNV''
From Australia comes the report
OF remarkable air phenomenon,
which has been confirmed by inves.
tigation and simply explained by me-
teorologists. The facts and their ex-
PLANTATION are briefly as follows:
Airplanc pilots while flying over the
New South Wales coast, facing the
vastness of tho South Pacific, have re-
ported the amazing experience that
when the time came for them to de-
scond near the earth, preparatory to
alighting, they found that, instead Of
sliding down, their machine showed
an obstinate and extraordinary ten
dency to keep on rising upward. One
airman, in fact, plotting medium
powered "taxiplane" type of machine,
put the bow of his craft earthward in
order TO make a graceful glide down,
and when he looked at his altimeter a
moment later to see how far he had
descended he saw with amazement
tIldI lHc uldl EeSlStcTcu illIfl dS dCtudl-
ly going up in the air backwards!
He dipped the bow of his machine
still sleeper, only to find that he was
still going up instead of down. 1t
was not, indeed, till he switched his
engine on and flew hard for the
ground that he overcame the mys-
tcrious force at work and began to
reduce his altitude.
And now for the explanation OF this
astonishing affair. Along the coast OF
New South Wales there is long
mountain chain. Great upper wind
trends, rushing in from thousands of
miles seaward, impinge upon these
mountains, anC ing DETECTED, sent
vast eddies UP, rd almost to un-
known heights. And it is in these
huge invisible and abnormal currents
have been caught to their own in
vertically upwards, that air pilots
blowing not horizontally but almost
tense bewilderment.

REFLECT ROBERT NJ.
SWEITZER CITY CLERK

knowledge of every branch of the

help those who need the countys aid
are the main requirements for a sue
cessfuI administration of the county
clerks office, County Clerk Robert M.
Sweitzer is telling Chicago voters in
addresses daily and nightly in his
campaign for reelection. The county
clerk, Mr.. Sweitzer declares, is the
general business head of the county
government, and the duties are so
varied that several years are required
for the training of an efficient county
clerk
ut has been my good fortune" Mr..
Sweitzer declares, ito conduct the
office in such way that there has
been nothing except kind words said
of the manner in which the Office is
run. The county clerk has a wide
variety of duties. He is clerk of the
County court, the comptroller or finan-
cial officer of the county, the clerk
or secretary of the county board, and
the election commissioner for the
country towns. He keeps the vital sta
tistics for the county and issues the
various licenses, including the mar
riage licenses.
Many of the people who come into
the office have never been in public
office before. They need considerate
treatment, and it has always been my
effort to put the element of human
sympathy at every point where the
public comes in contact with the Of
flee. / am down here at $50 every
morning with the rest of the help, and
/ put in a full days work. My door
is always open to anyone who wants
to see me. That's what the public
pays for and that's what it ought to
have from public official"
Indications are growing, Mr.. SWEET
ger declares, that there will be clean
sweep for the entire Democratic tick
ct at the Nov. election.
I'VE will have all the Democrats and
a very large number of Republicans
who are disguised with the waste
and extravaganza of the city and
school governments that has piled
taxes up SO high" he said. "The Re-
publicans want to make protest, and
the only effective way for them to
do it is to vote the Democratic ticket
this year.

Der of Republicans who have told
me they are going to vote the straight
Democratic ticket Nov. z. The outlook
is very encouraging"
