Yesterday the flag oeIe-
brated its 146th birthday, an
niversary Of the day when John
Adams introduced in Congress
. resolution making the flag
we know, but with only thir-
teen stars, the flag of the
United States.
1t Is q first-class flag, and
ever since it was put up 1t has
STAYED up. II has not at
tackled others wantonly. nor
failed to defend itself from at
tack.
II has attended to its own
business and let other peoples
business alone for 146 years.
May 1t do the same for 145
years to come. and then for ten
times that length Of time.
How many stars will be in
that flag Of Stars and Stripes
ten thousand years from now?
Ten thousand years 10 less
than a minute in the life Of the
world and the probable life Of
the human race.
~ Will the days Of ten thousand
years hence see on this earth
one flag for all the world and
all the peoples melted into one?
Or will 1t still find US. as we
are now, separately struggling,
separately and selfishly accu-
mulating, violently interested in
the fact that scientists have dug
mp gold coins made by Croesus
2.400 years ago, and MORE in
terested In gold coin than in
anything else?
While celebrating the birth
day Of the Stars and Stripes
and the discovery Of gold Coins
made by Croesus, ii would not be
q bad idea to recall Solon's warn
ing to that same Croesus on the
dangers Of too much prosperity.
We have the prosperity, and en-
Joy it; we do not see the dan
gers.
Advertising clubs of the world,
gathered at Milwaukee, repre-
sent most important work--DIS-
TRrBUTION. We know how to
make what We Hsnt in factories,
low TO raise n out Of the ground,
how to pile it up on shelves Of
libraries.
The great problem is HOW TO
DISTRIBUTE 1T, how to get
water from oceans and lakes onto
dry land, knowledge from books
into mems mindl, goods from
the factories into mems hands,
food from farms into mems
storo schs.
Advertising is the handspring Of
distribution. First to have what
people want, then to let them
know you have it, then to force
distribution by creating de-
mand.
Once the man in business
hunted for a store where crowds
would pass and thousands see
his window. That Is old, out Of
date. Now he locates himself
where he pleases, and puts his
announcement in the real show
window, which is the advertising
page, the window that millions
pass, and study.
Jewish union bakers in New
York, fighting employers. start
ed their own shop and sold
bread cheap. Were they ap-
plauded for selling bread cheap?
Not exactly. Twenty-seven of
them have been indicted. ac-
cused Of selling below cost, to
drive out competition.
Nobody was indicted for SELL
ing bread or sugar or anything
else at extortionately high
prices. But when union bakers
get together to cut the price
Of bread, that's another matter.
1t Is all legal. Of course, but
Il puzzles you a little.

No criminal violation Of the law was

THE hotel register is headed The
New Lexington Hotel delusion and
a snare, often used to catch trade and

8 ALTERATIONS IN PROPOSAL
TO INSURE DELIVERY OF FER.
TIllZERS AT EIGHT PER
CENT PROFIT.
Proposal Greatly Improved In View Of
Some Others Want Lease Cut
TO Fifty Years.

Washington.- Three alterations in
the proposal made by Henry Ford
Tor lease and purchase of the gov
ernment's nitrate and power projects
at Muscle Shoals, Ala, have been
agreed to by the Detroit manufacture
er They say
one to write into the proposed con.
tract a definite guarantee to produce
fertilizers in their finished form at a
given annual minimum tonnage.
Two. to capitalize the operating
capacity which is to be created for
the purpose OF supervising the Muscle
Shoals operations.
Three, to revise the language of
the so-called farmers clause in order
to insure the delivery Of fertilizers
from the producing plant to the con-
sumers al a profit not exceeding eight
per cent based on the cost OF manu-
facture.
Mr.. Ford's approval of these modi-
fcations was announced by w. R.
Mayo, chief engineer OF the Ford com
pany upon his return from Detroit
where he went to confer with the De-
troit manufacturer,
Formal announcement to the house
military committee members who are
investigating the offer in congress will
be made by Mr. Mayo.
While the three alterations were re-
garded by some committee members
as greatly improving the form of the
proposal and adding to its value as
they view it from the governments
standpoint, other members said II
would have been more acceptable II
Mr.. Ford had also agreed to reduc-
ton in the lease clause from 100 to
so years as suggested by Secretary
Weeks when he testified before the
committee
On this point, however, Mr. Mayo
explained that Mr.. Ford still felt that
the 5O-year period was too short a
time TO justify the financial invest.
ment necessary under the proposed
contract for >velopment for the Mus
Gle Shoals water power facilities and
nitrate plants in the section OF the
country where they are situated.
The agreement TO manufacture fin
ished fertilizers instead of Com
pounds it was explained, was made
t. assure the production of that COM
modify which several committee men
had declared was not an obligation un-
der the existing language Of the offer.
Mr. Mayo did not reveal the amount
OF production guaranteed.

REJECT SALES TAX

ANY PROVISION TO RAISE
FUND.
PRESIDENT MIGHT TAKE HAND
Proponents and Opponents OF Sales
Tax Surprised by Committee
Vote, 7 to 2.

Washington. Rejecting Z to 2. a
proposition to pay the soldiers bonus
by means OF sales tax, the special
subcommittee of republican members
OF the house ways and means COM
mittee was understood to have gone
on record, to 4, in favor OF report
ing out an adjust. compensation bill
without any provision for raising the
revenue.
The subcommittee reported to the
entire majority membership Of the
committee later in the day. but a de-
eision was deferred adjournment be-
ing taken so as to give committeeman
time to study the whole matter Some
OF those processing to have sounded
sentiment among the majority men,
bers were OF the opinion that unless
there were unforeseen developments
the action OF the subcommittee prob
ably would be ratified.
Aside from the ballots on the sales
tax and a bill without revenue pro
vision, there were said to have been
several other votes in the sub-com-
mittea provision was defeated, 6 to 2
Both proponents and opponents OF
sales tax appeared TO be surprised
by the vote on that proposition. Both
sides had been claiming a victory with
each seemingly expecting fairly
close vote
Four members of the sub-commit-
tee were reported to have favored a
further postponement of bonus legis-
lation in the belief that in time the
problem of finance would solve itself.
Postponement is opposed, however,
by a big majority of the committee
and also by many members of the
house. Chairman Fordney reiterated
that q bonus bill would be passed at
this session and other committeeman
expressed the same view
Some supporters of sales tax ex-
pressed the view that President Hard
ing might again take hand in the
bonus controversy.

18TH AMENDMENT
IS DECLARED VALID.
AOMAN'S SUFFRAGE is UPHELD
BY THE UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT.
JPHOLDS THE STATE COURT
Test Case Came From the State Of
MaryIand-Justice Brandies Rem
ders Unanimous Decision.

Washington, The constitutionality
f the womans suffrage, or 18th,
amendment was sustained by the SUI
preme court in unanimous decision
rendered by Justice Brandeis.
The challenge came from the state
of Maryland where Oscar Lesser and
others sought to prevent the registra.
ton OF two women as qualified voters
In Baltimore. Lesser and his asso-
ciates contended that the consttu-
ton of Maryland limited suffrage to
men; that the legislature of Maryland
had refused to ratify the woman's
suffrage amendment, and that the
amendment had not become a part of
the federal constitution. The Mary
land state courts sustained the
amendment.
The contention that an amendment
to the federal constitution relating to
additions to the electorate cannot be
made without the consent of the state,
the court disposed Of by reference TO
the 18th, or equal suffrage, amend.
ment, declaring that zone cannot be
valid and the other invalid 1t point
ed out that the validity of the 18th
amendment had been recognized for
half century
The suggestion that several of the
36 states which ratified the 10Th
amendment had provisions in their
state constitutions which prohibited
the legislatures from ratifying could
not be entertained, the court stated,
because the state legislatures derived
their power in such matters from the
federal constitution, which trans
cends any limitations sought to be
imposed by the people of state
The remaining objection that the
ratifying resolutions of Tennessee and
West Virginia were imperative, be.
cause adopted in violation OF the leg
islative procedure in those states, may
have been rendered "immateral, the
court declared, by the subsequent rat
ification of the amendment by Connec-
ticut and Vermont. The contention
was disposed of, however, on broad
er ground, the court stated adding
that the secretary of state having is
sued a proclamation of the ratifca'
ton Of the amendment by the legis.
latures of 36 states, the amendment
to all intents and purposes had be-
come a part OF the constitution As
Tennessee and West Virginia had now
err to ratify, and had officially notified
the secretary of state that they had
done so, their action was binding
upon the secretary, and upon being
certified by that official had become
conclusive upon the courts
