PuLL Together

If every business man in this city
would resolve that he would speak
only in terms of commentator of
every other business man in the city
and then live up to the resolution for
a period of three months the effect
would be a revolution in conditions,
because people cannot talk in terms of
good feeling and of good fellowship
without manifesting a spirit which will
back up the talk INDUCED in. That is
what is so much needed in this city
now. A pull-tOgether will bring to pass
all that we need to make this COM
munity flourish as it has not fourished
before. This cannot be accomplished
through any spirit of spleen-venting,
or Of getting even with the other fell
low, or of taking unfair advantage to
gain a point for ones self, but it can
be brought about by translating into
everyday life of the business men
some of the lofty principles which you
frequently hear preached but so sell

Proper City Planning
of Vital Importance

When those who have had a part in
the founding of cities can be traced, it
is almost always ascertained that they
planned in a wise though limited way
for their future centers. The same
wisdom and care in continuous plan
ming is generally lacking after early
hopes are realized and cities begin to
extend. Metropolitan areas cannot be
permitted to grow helter-skelter after
they have once gained population and
important rank. There will be physical
features that are incOngruOus enough
after such safeguards as will be pru-
dent and legal have been provided.
If resort is too often made to the
lawmaking power, this is a matter in
which the protection of that power
may be sought advisedly and in
fashion analogous to that in which its
assistance has been freely given in
other matters. The zOning principle
is designed to deal with the problem
in a large way not in petty or vexa-
tiOus ways. Absolute symmetry in city
growth cannot be assured, but a fan
tastic and injurious lack of symmetry
can be guarded against.-Chicago

dred and f1ftieth anniversary Of the
for the Omitted States Bunker Hill
SesQuicentennial Commission" Of II
members, appointed by the Presl-
dent, 4 by the president Of the senate
and by the speaker of the house, and
the appropriation of $4,000 in con-
nection Herewith.
And Bunker Hill is worth celebrat-
ing. 1t was the first battle of the Rev
olution. The Americans lost it. But
If ever a defeat was a victory 1t was
Bunker Hill. And what fight it was,
with all Boston on the housetops to
watch 1t!
You remember, Of course, the Sc
Of actual hostilities in 1775. 1t was
the night Of the 18th Of April that
Paul Revere and William Dawes rode
from Boston to warn the Minute
Men" in advance of the British ex-
pedition. The next day took place
the Lexington and Concord affairs"
and the militia chased the British back
into Boston. The morning of April 20
found Boston practically IN a state of
seige. Provincial troops kept coming
in and by June 16 there were thou
sands behind entertainments all about
Boston.
The morning Of June 1.-THE very
day that Washington was appointed
commander in chief by the Second
Continental congress in Philadelphia
the astounded British In Boston dis
covered about one thousand Americans
digging themselves in on Breeds Hill
on the Charlestown peninsula, which
overlooked the north part of the city.
British vessels Immediately opened
fire and Gage mustered troops for at
tack. At noon the British moved
across to the peninsula in barges un-
der Gen. William Howe At 3 p. m.
under cover Of q cannonade the Brit
ish attacked in force, expecting an
easy victory. The Americans held
their fire until the British were within
a few rods. Their volleys were then
so deadly that the British veterans
broke and ran. Reinforced by fresh
troops, the British attacked a second
time, under cover Of the smoke from
CharleStown, set on fire for the pur-
pose. Again the deadly volleys; again
a disorderly retreat to the shore. A
third attack. Again a deadly volley
or two. But this time there was no
British retreat-for the American am
munition was exhausted Followed
then a close and fearful hand-to-hand
fight. And in the end the Americans
retreated from the field.
SO the British won at a cost of al
most hundred officers and about
1,4OO men, killed and wounded The
American loss in killed, wounded and
captured, was 450. 1t was an Ameri-
can victory in defeat Bunker Hill
destroyed forever the bugbear of the
invincibility of the British regulars.
Hence our American saying, "a Bunk
er Hill defeat"

Recreotional Grounds

Towns have found recreation good
investment. Social enrichment and
advertising have come to them, as they
readily testify. AS more and more
small towns discover that recreation
will help to check the drift of their
youth to the cities as well as to at
tract new residents, they will make q
determined effort to supply those op-
portunities for clean play that parks,
Fairgrounds, athletic fields, community
houses and other facilities supply.

lance, perseverance and justice.
The Star-Spangled Banner was first
so called by Francis Scott Key in
THE Star-Spangled Banner" which by
common consent has come to be re
garded by the American people as the
America. Congress has never so des-
ignated 1t or any other air, but Army
and Navy regulations so recognize 1t.
The air is an old one. The poem was
written during the War Of 1912, in
the night hours Of September 13, 1914,
while Key was watching the lombard
ment by the British fleet Of Fort
McHenry in Maryland.
The British campaign Of 1914 con-
sisted of expeditions from the North
and South, Sir George Provost COM
ing from Canada and q combined fleet
and army coming from Bermuda under
Admiral Cochrane and Maj. Gen. Rob
ert Ross. Ross captured Washington
and burned the Capitol Thereupon
the British moved upon Baltimore. But
the land force of 5000 men was beat
en- off and General Ross was killed
The fleet bombarded Fort McHenry
unsuccessfully and departed.
The congress of 1914 made appropri-
alton for a handsome monument to
Key and to the soldiers and sailors
who beat off the British army and
fleet. This monument was dedicated
June IA, 1922 President Harding
made the dedicatory address and said,
in part:
Here the patriotic sons of the early
republic crushed one of the most am
bilious invasions ever aimed against
our nation. Here, during the rage of
combat, was born the swelling anthem
of American patriotism.
1t is wholly fitting that Flag day
should be chosen for this commemo-
ration and rededication, because our
hymn of patriotism Is an apostrophe
to the flag we love. Yea, 1t is apostro-
phe and invocation as we'll, born of
patriotic and poetic soul in the travail
of q sublimely heroic night
An American citizenship of the high
and simple faith of Francis Scott Key,
aflame for defense, and no less devoted
In meeting the problems Of peace, will
add to the luster of the Banner he so
proudly acclaimed Every glittering star

IAWEE Banner, the Stars and

Yes; the Oldest Flag. So
old that 1925 is the Sesquicentennial
of paul Revere's Ride and Of Lex
ington and Concord; of the capture
Of Ticonderoga by Allen and Arnold;
of the Second Continental Congress {;
of the Mecklenburg Declaration; OF
Daniel Boone's BoonesbOrough; Of
Bunker Hill; of the taking command
by Gen. George Washington Of the
Continental Army; of the making OF
Esek Hopkins commander in chief OF
the Navy; of the siege of Boston.
No; 1925 is not the Sesquicentennial
of the Flag. That is for 1927. But
what of that! The Flag is what we
have made it. And the Flag stands
for Bunker Hill just as surely as 1t
stands for Yorktown and Fort Nc
Henry and Monterey and Gettysburg
and San Juan Hill and Chateau
Thierry. SO there will be many Flag
Days in 1925.
June II is Flag Day because June
IA, 1777, the Second Continental Con-
gress resolved:
"That the Flag of the thirteen Unit
ed States be thirteen stripes alternate
red and white that the union be thir-
teen stars white in a blue field, rep
resenting the new constellation"
That was the Flag under which in
dependence was won. If there were
American flags flown at Lexington and
Concord they were the flags Of the
local militia At Bunker Hill was
flown the New England fiag-a blue
ground, one corner quartered by the
red cross of st. George, with pine
tree in one section-and various regi
mental flags. The Union Flag that
Gen. George Washington raised Janu-
ary l, 1776, over his headquarters at
Cambridge was made up Of thirteen
red and white stripes, quartered with
the British union jack in token of the
fact that the Colonials were fighting
for their rights as Englishmen.

was designed by Betsy Ross under
WashingtOn's direction or by Francis

admission to the Union Of Vermont
