OUR FLAG 1877 YEARS OLD

Thursday of this week, June 14th,
marked the 18th anniversary of our
flag. On that date, in 1777, the
Continental Congress passed reso-
luton officially establishing, as the
emblem of the United States flag,
"of thirteen stripes alternate red
and white" and that the union be
10 stars white in blue field, repre-
senting a new constellation.
1t was George Washington who
accomplished more than any other
American in giving that flag mean
ing and in unfurling it over a strong
and united nation.
Some of the great dates in the
flags history may be fittingly recall
ed on this anniversary. Its first
display by the Continental Army was
on August 8, 1877, at Fort Stanwix,
the present city of Rome, New York,
during an attack by the British.
1t was first carried into battle by
George Washington's troops at
Brandywine on September l., 1777.
1t was first saluted by the British at
the surrender of Burgoyne, at Sara
toga, on October II, 1877.
For the Navy, John Paul Jones
took the first salute to the Stars and
Stripes on February IA, 177S, when
he sailed his ship Ranger" into the
harbor of Quiberon, France. In the
same ship he forced the first striking
of colors to our Flag by the British
ship Drake" on April "a, 1878.
The ship Bedford" of Massachu-
sets, carried the first American Flag
into a British port on February 3,
1888. 1t was first carried around
the world by the ship "ColImbia,"
sailing from Boston in September,
1887.
1t was first flown in battle on the
Pacific by the U. S. Frigate Essex"
in 1913. The next year Francis
Scott Key wrote the 'Star Spangled
Banner" In 1918 Congress de-
creed that henceforth new star
should be added on the admission OF
each new State to the union.
On April 6, 1909, Admiral Peary
planted the first American flag at
the North Pole. Within the last
decade, Admiral Byrd has carried it
to both poles.
Wherever it has gone it has meant
achievement and new honors to our
Nation.

THE FARM HOME

The farm housing survey, pro-
ject of the Civil Works Adntnistra-
ton, is producing facts and statistics
that are of exceptional interest.
The survey covers such factors as
condition of walls, chimneys. roofs,
ETC., the age of the structure, the
number of rooms and occupants, and
whether or not it has ordinary con-
veniences and comforts. The aver
age urban dweller will be surprised
to learn that a heavy percentage of
the farm houses are entirely without
plumbing of any kind. The bulk OF
the homes are in only fair condition;
many are classified as being poor.
And only a comparative handful
have electric or gas labor Saving de-
vices.
Here is a vast market for the sale
Of building materials and supplies.
In a number of states the market
has barely been touched; horles are
little different than they were TWEEN
fy-flve years ago. Various plans are
on foot now to make it possible for
more farmers to finance new build
ing and effect improvements and al
terati0ns to old structures. If the
plans 80 through it will mean not
only better living quarters for those
on the farm--it will mean that a
legion Of men win find jobs, 10th in
the actual work of construction and
Al the industries supplying ma
terials.

REPEAL AND ENFORCEMENT

After six months of repeal Willis
Thornton, a staff correspondent of
the NEA Service, presents the fol-
lowing pen picture of just how it
has not put the bootlegger out of
business. One of the stock argu-
ments of the repealists was it would
kill the bootlegging business, but it
has not.
Though repeal was supposed to
remove the federal government from
the liquor picture, Uncle Sapl's fig
ure gets clearer and clearer as the
picture develops.
He has plenty to do with liquor
control still, and already he has
about half as many men trying to
stop bootlegging as he had during
prohibition.
But they're not trying to stop
drinking. They're trying to stop
tax evasion-this is enforcement for
revenue only.
Thirteen hundred federal agents
are fighting the bootlegger--not be-
cause he makes whiskey but because
he makes it and sells it without pay
ing license and excise taxes.
There we're once 5000 prohibition
agents. The number of revenue men
is rising today, and plans are in the
making which if carried out would
enlist a greater army of them than
there ever were of prohibition
agents.
Since repeal, these federal oper-
atives have seized nearly 1000 stills.
They are the field force of the liquor
tax enforcement unit of the Treasury
Department, operating under a dep
uty commissioner of internal reve-
nue.. And the Treasury also has
nearly 100 men on border patrol to
block smuggling.
The Treasury Department, once
more in charge of liquor tax enforce
ment, as it was before this job was
transferred to the Justice Depart
ment, had no illusions about this be-
ing a soft job.
1--WE have real fight on our
hands," says Herbert Z. CASTOR,
special assistant to Treasury Secre-
tary Morgenthau. "Bootlegging has
not gone out. Make no mistake
about that. Bootleggers want the
big profits that now can be made
from selling Illicit liquor in compe-
tition with tax-paid liquor"

FARMERS JOB FOUND MOST
HAZARDOUS OF OCCU-
PATIONS

The farm and rural communities
of America are now among the most
consistent users of first aid equip
ment, it was revealed recently by
Ellsworth Gale, Director of the Red
Cross Products Division Of Johnson
and Johnson, the country's leading
manufacturers of first aid equip
ment.
In making this statement, Mr..
Gale pointed to recent survey
made by leading life insurance COM
panies. which showed that the great
est number of accidental industrial
fatalities occurred last year. not in
the so-called hazardous occupations,
but ON farms by careless use Of agri-
cultural machinery. Acc d
deaths in the manufacturing field
were second, with the building and
construction field third and the
Quarrying industry close fourth.

COMMON SENSE AND LAW URGE
CARE WITH FIRES

Common sense as we'll as the law
requires care with fire in the woods,
says the United States Forest Ser
vice, in repeating its warning that
now in many parts of the country.
Forty-three States and the Terri
tory of Hawaii have statutes making
negligence or carelessness with fires
in the woods a criminal offense.
Seventeen States make tobacco
caused fires specific crimes. Many
states require the ordinary rrecau-
ton of carrying tobacco receptacles
in automobiles. Within the nation
al forests, Federal laws against fire
carelessness also apply. The hot
heel from the old briar, the half
burned cigarette and the glowing
match all carry peril to the forest
and often start fires costing human
lives as we'll as destroying p operty,
scenic values, and wild life.
A number of fires involving SER
ious damage to forests and property
and loss of life this year already
have been reported to the Forest
Service In many of the western
national forests emergency guards
have been put ON duty. Special fire
regulations have been put into eff
feet in several of the California ma
earlier than usual, and closures of
certain areas of extreme danger have
been found necessary.

crop failure. These assured pay
ments guarantee that farmers who
have signed contracts to cooperate
will have some income, even if their
crops are utter failures.
DR.. Symons states that even if the
drought continues, the 1894 crop Of
wheat, along with present stocks,
will give ample supplies for food and
an adequate carryover into the next
season, an analysis made by the
Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration indicates.
The carryover on July 1 is expect
ed to be about 260 million bushels,
it is stated. Added to what the crop
might total with continued drought,
it is estimated that there would be a
total for the coming season Of about
S25 million bushels The country
uses about 625 million bushels a
year for all purposes, so that after
normal use, the nation would still
have, in the neighborhood If 200
million bushels available for carry
over, or for export.

ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMS GIVE
CROP INSURANCE

The severe drought in some sec
tions of the country has emphasized
one feature of the crop adjustment
programs carried on in Maryland
and other states, which had rot been
so generally appreciated, according
to DR.. T. B. Symons, director of the
University of Maryland Extension
Service, who is in charge OF such
programs in this state. Although
the programs for reducing produc-
ton of wheat, corn, hogs, and the
like were designed primarily to cut
down burdensome SURPRISES and
bring supply more nearly into line
with effective demand, he points out
that the benefit payments arc based
on past production averages, rather
than on the current crop. The
amount of these payments, there
fore, is not diminished by a current

These are glad graduation days
throughout the whole country, when
hundreds and hundreds of young
men and young women are being
awarded diplomas after the compile
ton of their courses in schools and
colleges, and are preparing to take
their places in the scheme for the
conduct of our social, business, po-
litical activities.
Wonder is how places can be
found for this vast army of new re-
cruits, when every field seems al
ready over-crowded.
But our whole fabric of activities
seems so wondrously constructed as
to completely absorb, year after
year, these new workers, in its in
Vulnerable and intricate depart
ments, where their youthful enthu-
siasm and vigor are needed to give
new impetus to carry on, and help
unravel the maze of tangled and
perplexing problems that confront
us. All hail to the graduate!

Washington sees the Adn.inistra-
ton as undertaking to build a plac
form from which New Deal doctrines
can be effectively presented to the
world. 1t backs the Senate measure
authorizing American membership
in the International Labor Office of
the League. The LILO forum at
Geneva is regarded as the logical
place for expounding to otter ma
lions American measures for recon-
struction and reform. The LILO
governing body meets frequently, a
vast assembly sits once year to
survey world industrial problems
American policies on working hours,
wages and conditions, which effect
international markets, need under
standing and cooperation-The

proper, but it well knows nc nation

STOCK MARKET REGULATION

For nearly a year Congress has
been working on the new Securities
Exchange Act, just signed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. 1t may not be
perfect enactment. But what leg
islation Is Every law is subject to
change in the light of experience
and administration. No opponent
can say with justification that the
bill has been rushed through Nor
can he say that it is merely vengeful
Every section in the new act has
been put on the grill of expert testi
mony of all kinds. And what start
ed as an effort to put the stock
market in a strait-jacket has finally
resulted in sober legislation to regu-
late institutions which are Singular
ly vested with public interest.
OF the need for legislation, there
was never any doubt. Practices
had been exposed which an aroused
public conscience would no longer
tolerate. They fastened like barn
acles around the function of the
stock market in channeling the peo-
pies savings into economic enter
prise. Industry got a lot of the
money. But the manipulative pools
which surrounded the stock market
got the cream. They del eloped
much of the furious activity which
made front-page news in the TWEEN
ties. A get-rich-quick public saw
stocks pushed up. 1t rushed in to
buy But it bought from insiders
who, after provoking cupidity, un-
loaded their holdings.
No self-correction could have up
rooted such abuses from stock mar
ket operations. The insiders were
too highly placed. This was dis
closed in the lists of participants in
pools that issued out of the Senate
investigation. The lists included fl
nancial leaders in whom the public
had reposed it's faith that they felt
responsibility for the publi' good.
Evidence showed clearly that con-
sderations of private profit were
uppermost. Without doubt those |
disclosures did more than a ything |
else to give the Administration a
mandate to regulate the stock |
market.
The stock market will be much |
quieter place without these pools. |
That is all to the good. There is
too much of tendency in the Unit
ed States to regard the stock market |
as the barometer of business condi-
lions. 1t is a barometer, but only
one of many. Sound prosperity |
calls for different set of criteria.
Purchasing power in the hands of
the workers, balance as between
agriculture and industry, fairer di-
vision of the social product-these
are barometers much more import
ant than the stock market. 1t was |
the neglect of them that helped to
provoke the collapse.-Christian
Science Monitor.

GRADUATION TIME
BY Lucy Meacham Thurston

Graduation time! Is it because of
this time of festivals and degrees,
pageants and ''commencements"
that so much is being said about
young people, about children? And
not the usual material and advice,
to which one is familiar, but reports
and statistics on researches and
their possible effect upon youth. or
these the most significant, and one
which is just breaking into the press
is the report on films, initiated by
the Motion Picture Research Bureau
and made by the Payne Foundation
through the educational research
committee of psychiatrists and So
biologists Its findings ale as
founding. Here are some of them:
First as to audiences. The Payne
research committee estimated a pos
sible weekly attendance of 77,000,-
900 of which 36%6 are children or
adolescents.
eyed pictures of the world" is one of
the terms used. In analysis of 115
films shown, $50 showed drinking,
43% use of intoxicants, 1870 situa-
tions affected by liquor. Taking
another analysis, that of Prof Edgar
Dale, psychologist of Ohio State
University, who for three years saw
500 films per year, "crime, sex, pre-
dominate" he states and gives these
figures: In 115 films, for example,
| 70 deaths showed in 4 5 films, as
sault and battery in SO, holdups in
II, crimes pulled off in 40G and
crimes attempted in AZ. These are
the things which filled the children's
minds, ends the analysis, with the
added words as to the ghas'ly eff
fects upon children and also that the
research investigation showed thai
children from to years old at
tended on an average of % times a
year.
Goals: at is apparent that child
rem will rarely secure from the films
goals of the type that have animated
men like Thomas Aquinas, Jesus
Christ, Aristotle, Emerson, Socrates,
Greenfield. We might expect the
cinema to show better way of liv-
ing than the average we find outside
the cinema We need to see the
screen portraying more of the social
goals which ought to be character
istic of decent civilization. We
need to more often catch glimpse
of the immortality of great charac-
tiers who have sacrificed opaortuni-
ties for personal aggrandizement in
or er that tie larger community
might have a fuller measure of life. +"
Film makers, Prof. Dale urges
should play the game with the par
ents of the country and lave a
heart for the children" Also it is
apparent that films of the higher
character command the best box re-
turns. What are the estimates on
returns from Little Women, from
Alice In Wonderland and who re-
calls the happy faces Of children
coming from the theatre door? Or
go on to David Harum, The House
of othchild-simply remember the
great successes of the winter. The
cinema maker declares he makes
what the public wants, the public is
now giving a good demonstration;
it is hoped the producer heeds. And
also that he takes note OF one Of the
researches criticisms, and that is the
