HISTORIC FLAG
IN HUGE CASE

The historic Star Spangled
Banner, which has been in virtual
obscurity for a quarter of a cen.
tury, now holds a commanding
place at the National Museum.
The famous flag that flew
over Fort McHenry when the
British shelled Baltimore in 1914
and which inspired Francis
Scott Key to write the national
anthem, is now set in a huge
case so that most of the tat
tered banner is exhibited.
In 1908 the flag was presented
to the museum by Eben Appleton,
grandson of Col. George Armi,
stead. defender of the fort dur,
ing the attack. Since then it
had reposed in a small case, and
rolled in such fashion that only
a small part of it could be dis
played.
Characteristic Of the flag is
that it has only Is stars and IS
stripes. In 1894 Congress adopted
the design which was not
changed until 1918.
The flag is % by "a feet, only
about 10 feet of it not being
displayed. 1t has been we'll pre-
served, although torn by British
shells, and is considered as the
most historical exhibit at the
museum.

TOMORROW

Arlington county residents to-
morrow will end one of the most
controversial campaigns ever
held in that section of Virginia.
Polls will be open all day for
voting on the Byrd plan of road
control by the State Highway
Commission.
One change in voting place has
been made since announcement
of the polling areas. That is in
Clarendon Precinct No. l, where
the voters will go to the school

The road plan, devised by

a varying degree of success.
The plan proposes that all
roads now cared for by counties
shall be incorporated into a sec
ondary system of highways. con-
trolled and administered by the
State Highway Commission.

BUSINESS SE IS
UP FAIR PLAY
PRINCIPLES

Principles of fair play in busi'
ness, with special efforts to safe
guard and advance the respective
interests of consumer and pro-
ducer, as formulated in the
declaration of ideals and princi-
Piles adopted by the Advertising
Federation of America in New
York, are being received with &C
claim by the industrial world.
The declaration enlists indi-
vidual and organization members
in the fight to combat "a definite
increase in destructive practices
calculated to disturb confidence
and make recovery more difficult"
which has accompanied pleas Of
all civic, economic, professional
and business leaders for con-
fidence in Fthe bulwark of modern
business"
Pledged to Principles
Individual and organization
members of the federation have
pledged themselves to adherence
of the principles, as follows:
1--WE agree to conduct our
business with a due recognition
that truth, honesty and in
tegrity must be the basis of
every sound transa ctiOn; con-
slider the mutual interests Of
Supplier and consumer and
avoid anything tending to-
ward Misrepresentation, decep-
tive methods or the promise
of performance that cannct be
fulfilled.
I'VE desire to maintain the
constructive elements in COM
petition, and remove those prac-
ticeS that are of no benefit to
the consumer, and are deStruc-
tive of the mutually of in .
terests.
Business health depends on
the efficiency of service TO the
consumer.
Aim for Least Waste
"The big problem of modern
industry is to bring the product
from the point of production
to point of use with the greatest
efficiency and the least waste.
Advertising has an important
part to play in this and we
agree to bend our greatest eff.
forts in this direction"

Representative Hull filled a

speaking Americans would aid in
bringing about another victory
for the republican tickets, both
