The Bucket Shop Evil.

A Flag Code.

Appropriately Flag day is the occa-
sion for the meeting in this city of a
commission which seeks to compile
a code for the proper observance of
the national emblem. So many variant
views of the use Of the flag prevail
that it has become necessary to es
tablish fixed rule of respect in the
showing of the colors. The session
here is for that purpose and the hope
is that out of it will come an exact
definition that will govern all Ameri-
cans.
Recently III Washington the flag
has been displayed, even on public
buildings, in connection with the
Shrine week decorations, in manner
to give affront to those who hold
high respect for the emblem. 1t was
necessary in one case to intervene
and secure a change of the decora-
tions scheme. In at least one other
case. however, the incorrect decora-
tions were maintained, and even to-
day, Flag day, they are in evidence
ON one of the government structures
in improper form.
Nearly twenty years ago there was
organized in Washington a commit
tee on historic decorations and civic
Improvement" in connection with the
Roosevelt Inauguration. Under the
craftsmanship of Frederick D. Owen,
who is recognized as one of the fore
most authorities in this country on
flag use and ceremonials this COM
mittee formulated five points govern
ing this matter, which have been gen
orally adopted and are recognized as
the basis of flag observance. These
five points are thus stated:
The flag OF our country should be
flown out of doors. where possible.
free TO the breeze, to show its design
and what it stands for.
When thus displayed it should not

When thus used it should, as far
as possible, be flown from a staff, as
carried in a parade, or from build

and not as stripes and stars.
When indoors the flag should be
placed SO as 10 read stars and
stripes" as against wall, and always
on the right Of the pulpit or speaker.
When indoors the flag may be
draped in any artistic form, but
should never be used to take the place
Of bunting for decorating purposes.
These are simple rules and based
upon a sound reason. The flag is
not a mere piece of bunting. but an
emblem. 1t should be so placed as
to always appear as a flag and not
as a bit of decorating material. 1t
should always "read''-that is. ap
pear to the eye-true to its design.
If these rules are followed there is
no ground for criticism.
The city of Washington should
never again he the scene Of improper
flag use, no matter what the occasion.
Every Washingtonian should be at
least aware of the rule of propriety'

Instinct.
When you were but an infant,
Whatever you might find
You tried to put into your mouth;
Such is the childish mind.
A lump of coal, rattle,
Your fists and cen your feet,
Would move you, to inquiry:
Now, is that good to eat?"
And later. when ambitions,
With years, began to grow,
You dreamed sweet dreams of glory
But had to work, you know.
You labored at your duty,
And asked, when twas complete,
Not: lis the thing ideal?"
But: "Will it help me eat?'
