MTTCHELLVILLE, Md, Nov. 8.
Mullikin's flagless flagstaff has a
flag.
Possessing a flagstaff but find
ing itself unable to supply 1t with
a flag, the Mullikin School, Of
Mitchellville, brought its plight to
the attention of The Washington
Times.
1T seems a shame" read a letter
to The Times from a sympathetic
resident, that a schools flagstaff
should have to stand bare and
meaningless simply because lack
Of funds prohibits the purchase Of
a flag" u
It seemed such a shame to the
American Legion, through whose
cooperation a flag was provided,
that e. Brooke Fetty, vice depart
ment commander of the Maryland
American Legion, made a personal
presentation Of a brand new ma.
tional banner and gave an address
before some $50 pupils of the
school on the meaning of the flag.
The banner was accepted for the
school by Mrs. Herndon Peach,

and was hoisted to the top Of the
pole amid the strains Of the "Star-

LIQUOR 0NWAY
OUT, SAY DRYS

NEW YORK, Nov. 9 UN.S0. g..
Three noted dry leaders, Mrs. Ella
A. Boole, president of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union; Mrs.
Leigh D. Colvin and Fred A. Vic
tor, State superintendent OF the
Anti-Saloon League of New York,
agreed today that prohibition is
on the way back.
The three declared the appeal
to women in liquor advertising and
the growing number of automobile
accidents caused by drinking driv'
ers were two of the most potent
influences in turning the tide Of
public sentiment on prohibition.
There's no longer room for
doubt" said Mrs. Boole. Pictures
of women with highballs in their
hands and stories of accidents
where the driver had had just one
cocktail are beginning to bring us
to our senses"
"The terrible conditions that
came back with repeal are so bad
that even the liquor interests are
scared to DEATH" Mrs. Colvin said.
Advertising and especially ad-
vertising directed to women has
helped swell contributions to the
Anti-Saloon League from people
who have not given to it since
1928 and 1929, Victor said.
