can Legion to draw up code cover
ing proper civilian usage of the flag
adopted the following list of fifteen
things to avoid:
/. Do not dip the flag of the

thing. The regimental collar, state flag
organization or institutional flag, will
render this honor. At sea the flag
may be dipped in acknowledgement
of salute of the flag of another ma
ton

blem of any kind on or above the flag
of the United States.
6, Do not use the flag as drapery;
use bunting.
Z. Do not fasten the flag in such
manner as will permit it to be easily
torn.
8. Do not drape the flag over the
hood, top or sides of vehicle or of
a railroad train or boat. If it is desir-
ed to display the flag on motor car,
affix the staff firmly to the chassis
or clamp it to the radiator cap.

her right hand should be. placed over
her heart in paying respect to the esllss
blem.

THREAT OF WAR is seen
BY LEAGUE OF NATIONS

PARIS, Feb. 8 (By The Asso--
ciated Press) A threat OF war ana
menace of blockade were unex-
pected features of this morning 5
session of the council of the league
of nations. NJ. Sidzikauskas, Llth-
uanian minister to Germany, repre-
senting his nation before the coun-
ell. declared the Lithuanians would
not accent the decision of the league
to allow the Poles to occupy a part
of the neutral zone between the two
countries. He said they would use
force to prevent II.
NJ, Viviani of France, said that IN
such case the Lithuanian action
would involve the imposition of a
blockade.
The council had adopted a resolu-
ton entrusting the occupation of the
neutral territory by forces divided
about equally between Poland and
I6thuania. The Lithuanians with
drew from the council chamber
after making their protest, without
changing their attitude.
The Poles, it was announced by
the Polish delegation, would pro-
ceed to occupy their part of the
zone with troops.
The belief was expressed in league
circles that the Lithuanians were
being encouraged in their resistance
by the Russians.

Grating his charge that the state of
New Jersey has been robbed of
more than $1,000,000 last year in
the laying of it's roads, Governor
Silzer. speaking here last night st
a dinner of the Camden County Bar

shot in his campaign against the

plan of the Republican legislature

moved from office two weeks ago.
Stating that there is one dollar
OF graft on each yard of patent

governor declared that he will con-
tinue the fight, "even If / stand

States department of justice as be-
ing the moving spirit. are scheduled
to be arraigned before United States
Commissioner Ritchie here late TO-

femme, whose home is in New

eel was foreman of the automobile
department at the arsenal. Humph'

The three men were arrested By
department of Justice agents, Ro1

investigating the alleged thefts fol
more than two months, and were
specifically charged with conspiring
to remove by auto truck, 1,100 Colt
automatic pistols from the arsenal
on forged requisitions.
Cecil K. Title, alleged leader o1
the conspiracy, is in the Newark jai,
in default of $4,000 bail, charged

to New York and through the per-
sens who purchased them, traced
back to the Raritan arsenal.

tolls is a part of huge conspiracy

BURTON DENIES
TRUTH Of TALK
Former State Highway Com
mission Chairman Replies
to SiIzer's Road Statements

NEW BRUNSWICK, Feb. 8
George L. Burton, former chairman
of the old State Highway Commits
sion, today characterized Governor
Silzer's speech at Camden last night
as misleading"
while it is true that a million
yards of patent paving was lad
last year" Mr.. Burton said, "the
great bulk of the paving was done
by county and local governments,
and only a small percentage was
laid by the highway commission.
"One hundred and thirty miles of
road were laid last year" the for
mer commissioner continued. Most
of this mileage was concrete, only
three of the contracts called for
patent paving: the Highland PARK
MetUchen road; the Railway Eliza
in Morris county.
"Of these roads the Highland
Park Metuchen was the biggest
contract because of the width of
the road constructed and this con-
tract called for only $4,000 yards
| of patent paving. The total cost of
the three roads was less than a NIL
lion and a half dollars, therefore
! it was impossible to have a $1,000
600 graft by the highway commits
sion.
THE bulk of the patent paving
contracts was let by the officials of
Atlantic, Camden and Morris couu-
| ty. These contracts We're entirely
separate from any let by the CON-
mission.
Governor Silzer charges tn At
there was one dollar graft per yard
for every yad of patent paving laid
have never heard of such a thing
and doubt If it is so.''
