We hold no brief for the so-called

today Is making progress. Move
ment is indicative Of life; works Of

dead. There is an art of SO innocu-
Gus a quality that it is inexplicably
bad-art of a feeble prettiness which
is utterly valueless. Art of this sort
is most often admired. but in COM

Ships
By BERTON BRAr,EY

BY BERTON BRATlEY
When you see ship, an American
ship,
That's riding the open sea,
When you watch her clean bows rise
and dip
And her pennant flying free;
If you have ever had Yankee pride
In even the least degree,
You'll thrill, as over the surging tide
In glorious majesty,
You see ship, an American ship,
That's riding the open sea!
Have you ever heard the gallant tale
OF clippers of Yankee make,
That never were known to shorten
sail
However the storms might break +?
Oh, those were the days when our
flag unfurled
Wherever the ocean rolled,
And American ships sailed round
the world
On. argosies manifold.
Five million month" they say,
BY, sailing our ships today;
Let's junk the vessels and fire the
crews,
For it certainly doesn't pay"
Well, maybe they're right-but some
how /
Am tempted to disagree,
When l see an American ship drive
by
In the spray of the broad blue sea.
And I say, Five million a month is
cheap
Or that's how 1t seems to me
To keep our ships on the rolling deep
With their brave flags flying free;
American ships, American ships
American ships at seal"

Science

A recent medical survey Of the
various ills affecting mankind shows
that there is nothing at all mysterious
about acquiring the common diseases.
Most Of these common diseases for
merly were supposed to come through
inhaling germs. especially as to colds
and coughs. It has now been ascer-
tanned these. as we'll as many other
diseases, are not due to inhaling germs
but are infections carried by their
hands.
Therefore frequent handwashing
will reduce the rate of sickness of a
community more surely than any
other procedure. Handshaking Is a
certain way for the spread Of sickness.
This custom, unless followed by care
full washing of the hands before food
is conveyed to the mouth. may easily
cause the rapid and serious spread of
disease.

Editors Mail

Editor of The Daily Times:
The Times is to be commended for
the correct way in which it suspended
the American flag on the outside of It's
building during the reunion Of the
Rainbow Division last week.
1t is unfortunate that in the State
house, and 1 understand the Court
house, and also some hotels and on
so many public buildings downtown,
there were so many dissertations OF
the American flag.
The flag was twisted, knotted, fes-
TONED and rosetted in all kinds of
ways by decorators, as If 1t were
merely an old rag, or at best was
treated only as piece of bunting
The regulations of the War Depart
ment, and also the Universal flag code
adopted on June Is on request of
President Harding in Washington by
sixty-eight patriotic societies, provides
that the flag. when suspended on a
wall. either inside or outside build
ing, whether perpendicularly or hori-
zontally, should always hang fiat and
pear in the flags upper right-hand
corner, that is to the Observers left.
The only exception is where a flag is
suspended between buildings across
the street, when for the purposes of
uniformity, the field of blue should be
to the east or west.
We believe that merchants have no
desire to have our American flag desc
Grated as it was last week in SO many
instances, but we believe that if their
attention is only called to this matter
they will insist upon it that decorators
follow the universal flag code adopted
by both the United States War De
partment and now by one hundred
patriotic and fraternal organizations
throughout the country.
The July 9Th edition of the Ameri-
can Legion Weekly publishes the en-
tire flag code on how TO display It
and how to respect 1t. and also numer-
GUS illustrations, which ought to be
obtained and studied by patriotic citf-
zens generally.

1.-THE greatest message I can bring

is the greatest country Of them all.
None compare with this land of ours
in any way" Every schoolboy ought
to remember this. for Mr. Kleder has
seen many lands and has had
an opportunity to observe condi-
tons. He speaks from experience. He
tells of the ragard for the American
dollar. and the fact that it commands
respect and will open any door in the
world. for 1t is king Of them all.
1t is too bad that thousands of radi-

Blessing
Richmond Item.)

If there is anything certain in this
world, it is that prohibition has been
a national blessing. Since prohibition
was adopted. right here in Richmond,
the deposits in our banks have
amounted to about one-half as much
again, as this generation had saved
up to the time of the change from
wet to dry.
In Ave years our people had saved.
under prohibition, about half Of the
total that they had saved in the thirty
wet years preceding.
Our city is growing as never be-
fore Our workers are earning money
as never before, in most industries.
The prosperity is so unusual, so
amazing. that the doddering old Jere-
miahs. stunned by the contrast, say
that at can't last" But 1t has shown
no signs Of breaking down, as yet.
