COMMUNICATED
SALJTING THE FLAG
scouts Cites Two Authorities, De-
 ciaring "SOmcOne's Wrong

ciaring "SOmeone's WrOng.''
 Editor, New Britain IIerald-1 have been very interested in other communications on this same sub iect published in your paper the last few days. have two extracts from reliabl sources which may clear up some doubt as to the respect to the flag. The first is from the Boy scout handbook. IL reads as follows; "A flag nnfnrie] and hung in room in which officers or enlisted men are present will he saluted by them the first time they have occasion to pass if, but not thereaf fter When the flag of the United States is passing on parade or review. the spectators, sitting, should rise and stand with their hats over ,hcir left shoulders until the flag has passed. This salute should be rendered to every flag that pasScs.'
 The other is rom President Hardlng's address at the National Flag Conference, June If, 1923. IL reads as follows: "I witnessed last week.. very pleasing manifest atiou or impression created by the proper respect for tho flag. IL was during the first parade Of the visiting >hrlnerS. Opposite the reviewing stand in which l sat was young naval officer quite apart from any other in the armed service of the government. Those who witnessed the parade will recall that every SIrlner carried the colors of the Re- public. and il called for pretty ire quent salutes: but every time the flag came by. over in the reviewing stand on the other side of the avenue appeared this young officer in white, promptly rising to salute the colore as they passed. the only one per forming that service that we noticed in the large company assembled in that reviewing stand"
 Who's right? I'm not criticizing anyone, but some ones wrong.
 Respectfully,
 A SCOUT.
