This is Flag Day. It is 157 years ago today that the Continental Congress passed the resolution of fcially establishing, the emblem of the United States flag of thirteen stripes, alternate red and white and that the union be l3 stars white on a blue field representing a new constellation. In 1818 Congress decreed the present arrangement Of the and restored the 13 stripes which had been changed to 15 in 1794 after the admission of Ken lucky and Vermont to the Union
 It should be day of days in America, for the Flag of America means more than any other flag can mean. It is symbolical not only of the power, majesty and glory of the earth's greatest republic, but of the distinctive spiritual advancement of mankind.
 Under the folds of the Star Spangled Banner, for the first time in the history of the world men entered upon the experience of a real and valid democracy; that experience and it's traditions have been honored in maintenance for more than cen tury and halfthe story ripples from the national standards, day by day
 The beginning of the flag and the senti- ment of it's story generally known But it means more to all of us than just facts. Every worthwhile American citizen carries the song of the national flag in his heart; he yields it reverence but little less fervent and loyal than that which he to the altars of his religious faith In that fact lies the dependable promise of the nations continued progress and security.
 Born during the birthpans of the republic itself, it was first displayed by the Continental Army on August B. TIT at Fort Stanwx, the present city of Rome, N. Y, during attack by the British. Gen. George Washngtons troops first bore it into battle at Brandywne September H. TIT. It was first saluted by the British when Gen Burgoyne surrendered at Saratoga October IT of the same year.
 For the Navy, the intrepid John Paul Jones took the, first salute for the Stars and Stripes on February IA. 1778 when he sailed the Ranger into the harbor of Quiberon France. On the ship that gallant forced the first striking of colors to our Flag by the British ship Drake on April 14, 1778, The ship Bedford, of Massachusetts carried the first American Flag into British port February B. l783 It first carried around the world by the ship Columbia, sailing from Bostor in September, 1787. It first flown in battle 1T the Pacific by the U. s. Frigate Essex in 1913 Admiral Peary first planted is at the North Polt April 4 1909. Within the last decade Admira Byrd has carried it to both the Poles. Whereve It has gone 1t has meant new achievement and nev honors to Nation.

A Debt that Will Never Balance.
(Daily Olympian.D

young man named Abe Faber went into court at Dedham Mass, the other day to stand trial on a charge of murder, and when he got on the wit ness stand some question or other led him to express a singular philosophy of life. He said that he felt he owed his parents nothing for the way they had worked to give him the advantages of life
 They brought me into the world" he said and it was up to them to provide for me would have done it if I had children of my own
 Now man who is standing trial for murder is not perhaps, in the best possible position to discuss the general question of chidren's debts to their parents; still, the point this chap raised has occurred to other young before this and people probably will be discussing it until the eve of the millennium
 And in the main it would seem to a thoughtful person that there is altogether much talk about it, on both sides Parents talk about what their children them, and about what they owe their children, until you would almost think that formal bill had been drawn up by lawyers, with interest running at so much a year and with host of qualifying clauses designed to balance the debts equally.
 For while these debts are real, they are never the kind that can be reduced to black and white; indeed they likely to vanish altogether if you try to examine them too closely.
 What does young man owe to his parents? Why, nothing at allif he doesn't feel the reality of his debt in his own heart.
 They brought him into the world without ask Ing nm apout lt-true enough; it's up to them to feed him and shelter him and for him gen. erally until he's able to go it alone. But you can't skeletonize it like that For parents nave way of giving gospel measure in such things They add brimming cup of love and kindness and forebearance that not nominated in the bond and that can never be paid back They don't have do that; they do it because the human race s after all, little higher and finer than the beasts of the field A flip young man can say that he owes his parents nothing and in way he will be telling the truth l But that only skins the surface. Beneath there IS debt that set of books devised can ever balance

HOW TO TELL A MAN FROM AN APE

Parents who have at the ee-climbing age when they sometimes act like monkeys than boys. can take heart from the announcement from scientists at Smithsonian Institution that ac- companyng difficulty at the period-the often unmanagebale "cowlick" atop Johnnys head-is true evidence that their offspring human after all and not a throwpack to remote, prehistoric, tree dwelling ancestry.
 Dr. T. D. Stewart. physical anthropologst of the institution who has been studying the different hair patterns found in and the various ape-like animals reports that the "cpwlick' is constant character sign in human beings, and very rare occurrence among the anthropoids True, the orang- utans have something resembling the "cowlick," but in these apes the unruy hairgrowth springs from the back. instead of the front of the head
 In it's physical makeup .cowlck' in man is a point of hair divergence. Most hair grows in one direction from it's point of emergence from the skin Not 'cowlick" It favors neither north east south nor west, but grows in all directions at once.
 If a boys hair started at the forehead and streamed rearward the back of the neck, it might be easier for his mother-but it would not be quite so human "Streamlined" hair is the mark of a gorilla, chimpanzee, and the orang. Man, alone, to be different, has the "cowlick."

DEMONSTRATING THEIR CASE.

Those officials organizations and individuals who made out Alaska's to the striking longshore- mems unions have the satisfaction of knowing that the facts they cited as to the immediate need for release of shipping to the Territory being com petely borne out by the tremendous volume of traffic pouring northward from Seattle Eight steamers of the Alaska Steamship Company which will have sailed for Alaskan ports before the end of the current week, days from the time the agree ment reached, VII carry total of 1,7sO pas sengers and 28l000 tons of freight Three vessels operated by smaller transportation ompanies and sailing under the same period will carry g pas sengers and 5000 more tons of freight making a grand total of ,8l2 passengers and 33OOO tons of freight.
 That is than one-half ton of freight for every man. woman and child residing in Alaska Of course it is not all for consumption by Alaskans very large proportion of it consists of vital sup plies and equipment for our two greatest industries fishing and mining Without them neither could have operated much longer. Several thousand tons of additional supplies for the salmon canneries and hundreds of passengers composed of workmen for the plants also north this week on nery ships largely increasing the bulk of traffic The speed with which the great volume of materials shipped north clearly demonstrates the des- perateness of the situation which the Territory was facing
 The tightness with which the strike still grips the rest of the Pacific Coast attests to the size the achievement in obtaining the release of Alaska chipping It also confirms the declaration of Auditor Prank A. Boyle that the union leaders reason able and that the longshoremen of the Northwest were largely responsive to the pleas made to them on behalf of the north Naturally, they realized the strategic importance of maintaining their battle front unbroken from the Mexican to the Canadian border That they deliberately sacrificed whatever benefit that might accrue to their from suct strategy and permitted vessels to sail without restriction is the strongest kind of proof of tht liberality and sound judgment of the Northwes and their leaders Instead of weak

The Cuban Treaty.
(New Yok World-Telegram)

For more than thirty years the United States protectorate over Cuba has been resented by that country and the rest of Latin America Abroad it mas been used by our critics and enemies as proof ol our imperialism and evidence of hypocrisy We nave got nothing out of it but trouble
 90 long as We continued to hold on to that unusual power over neighbor republic all of the relormS In our Caribbean and Latin American policies by Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt have been discounted
 The heart of the protectorate contained in the So-caled Platt amendment and Cuban treaty was the clause by which we guaranteed democratic ins- tutionS ana clvl liberties in that country We have since learned at considerable expense to our purse ana our reputation that outside power can confer order ana liberty on another people We have also iealheo that other people are apt to prefer being disorderly in their own way than orderly in ours
 At any rate President Roosevelt has now crowned ms reformed Latin American policy with new Cupan treaty It gives back to Cuba all of the prolectorate powers we grabbed after the Spanish war, except the right of naval bases Theoretically that may appear an important exception. but actuahy It IS not In event of world war we would De forced Tn self-defense to occupy those bases: the Cubans know it, we know it. the world knows if 90 IL seems more honorable to say so in advance and to provide this by treaty with the free of Cuba
 Though ratification of this new treaty will com plete the political liberation of Cuba she will remain our economic stepchild
 The problem of American statesmanshin in the future will be to observe as closely as nossihle in the spirit of close economic relations tbe letter of the political liberty which We pledge China in this new treaty

 Word from Nome disclosed the fact that the Victoria and Senator had both arrived there from Seattle but that an ice pack eight miles in width intervened between them and shore.

Chapter 29 CRANK LETTERS

i T>HIS man came in with a pic
 ] ture." Pagliotti added, "a clip ping from newspaper. showing a nan with a beard He said it was a friend of his and that he wanted to make himself up like him as joke. We studied over the picture and 1 myself trimmed the beard and nous ache to match as 1e wished"
 Was there a name printed under .he clipping? Would you recognize he picture again?"
 Pagliotti shrugged his regrets. "l io not remem Der. 1 would have for gotten all. except for the clipping"
 Harper pondered moment. Gan you recall anything else about this man? Was he well-dressed? Did he come in an automobile? Was his manner nervous or secretive?"
 There was nothing out of the way about his manner. The other ques. tons l cannot answer" The detective took a long pull on his pipe. "One more question. MT. Pagliotti. You know the man who bought that disguise from you has heen killed. It has been suggested that he was crazy--a dangerous ma niac. What do you say to that?"
 Pagliotti's answer was immediate. explosive. "Oh. no. no. do not be- lieve it. Not that man."
 Harper smiled. I'm inclined to agree with you. Thank you very much. Your inform ation should be helpful to us."
 The Italian bowed politely. shook hands, and departed with the alert MT. Harris. leaving Harper with a new and puzzling addition to his col 1 lection of data concerning this mys- terious affair The detective began to look through the packet of crank |. letters which Dufresne had turned over to the police.
 There were eight of them in all the earliest postmarked November 9th, little more than five week: after the purchase of the disguise What had the masquerader been do ing those five weeks? Why had such a long interval elapsed before his alleged letters began bombardins his intended victim? Dufresne hat not even been back in the city from his summer vacation when this mar had appeared at Pagliotti's.
 If this nameless man had reall, intended to kill Dufresne. why haC he not done so without all this fan fare of threats and hard language His course had certainly been tha of the cowardly crank" not that 0 the determined killer.

MRS. WHITMORE took at least M ten minutes to make her ap- pearance. The detective wondered what the servants were saying about the murders, for he knew that in the sanctity of their own quarters every tongue would be waggirg unrestrain- edly. A great deal of the talk would be mere idle gossip and conjecture, but mixed with this must necessa- rily be many items of first.hand knowledge that would be invaluable to him, could he bu hear them.
 When Mrs. Whitn,ore did make her appearance, her attitude and the expression of her face left no doubt as to her persona, stand. The bel ligerent gleam in her eye. the twist of her tightly shut lips promised lit tie aid and no sustenance for. the police processes.

 Harper paused, feeling that this prologue was wasted on the de termined woman. Mrs. Whitmort nodded curtly. "I understand that but didn't have anything to do with 1t and l don't know anything about it," she answered haughtily.
