Hurricanes Move North.

An "equinoctial" is looked for in
the United States particularly in the
Autumn. The Autumn equinox oc.

dian hurricanes, and II occasionally
happens that storms of this character
sweep up the Eastern seaboard within
a week or two Of the date in question,
extending their influence far inland.
These events have probably helped TO
foster the widespread belief in an au-
tumnal equinoctial storm.
THE Shenandoah was caught in
line squall." the statement continues.
Balloon or airpIane would not have
been exposed 10 similar strain and
would probably have weathered the
gale.
The squall that caused this trag-
edy Of the air takes its place in the
catalogue of historic storms. 1t
brought to general knowledge the fact
previously little realized. except by
weather men and airmen, that storms
can wreak their fury by blowing ver
tically as well as horizontally. II also
naturalized the term line squall' in
the popular vocabulary.
Squalls, like tornadoes, are Of such
brief duration. and generally Of such
limited area, that they defy prediction
by means of the ordinary machinery
Of weather forecasting."

1t is claimed in populat tradition
that the honor of making the first
Flag combining the stars and stripes
belongs to Betsy Ross, @ Quaker up
holstereSS and flag maker who re-
sided in Arch street, Philadelphia
1t is asserted by her descendants that
Congress appointed n committee COM
posed OF Gen. Washington. Robert
Morris and George Ross, the lat
ter an uncle of Mrs. Ross late hus-
band, who called upon her in May
or June, 1916, and commissioned her
to make flag from an imperfectly
drawn design embodying the stripes
and the union of 13 six-pointed stars
As the six-pointed stars were pecu-
liar to the British, it is said that
Mrs Ross suggested q star of five
points as more symetrical and appro-
pirate, and the committee at once
adopted the new design. Unfortu-
nately the annals of Congress make
no reference to the appointment of a
flag committee.
We read in the quotation from
Henry Ward Beecher what the Flag
was meant to signify and the solem-
nifty or its mission. 1t is we'll TO
see how truly IL has fulfilled that
mission. Mr.. Justice Harlan OF the
Supreme Court emphasizes this:
10 every true American the Flag
Is the symbol of the Nations power,
the emblem of freedom in its truest,
best sense. To all lovers of the coun :
try 1t signifies government resting on
| the consent OF the governed, liberty
regulated by law, the protection of
the weak against the exercise of ar
oltrary power, and absolute safety
for free institutions against foreign
aggression.
Sincere respect for the Flag and
lnslstence that all others respect il
Is the duty of every American citizen,
no matter how humble he may be or
now exalted position he may at
tain.
