RULES TELLING
HOW TO DISPLAY
COUNTY'S FLAG

The following rules on how to dis
play Our Country's Flag is published
through the courtesy of the U S. Ar
my Recruiting Station, Room 200 Post
Office Building, Georgetown, Del.
There are two ways only to display
the American flag properly.
One is to fly the flag from staff,
freely unfurled, with the starry field,
or Union as it is called, toward the
peak.
The other is to hang the flag, either
lengthwise or breadthwise, with the
Union always uppermost and to the
observers left as he faces the flag.
Attempts to Improve" the appear
ance of the American flag by other
methods of display, such as fastening
it into rosette or using it as drap-
ing, lack the respect due to Old Glory
as the symbol of our country.
To fly the flag from staff, hoist it
briskly to the peak, with the Union
uppermost. 1t should be lowered slow
~ and tremendously, never permit
ting the folds to touch the ground.
If suspended across the street, the
flag should be hung vertically, with
the Union uppermost and to the north
in an east-and-west street and to the
east in a north-and-south street.
When flown at half-staff, the flag
should be raised to the peak of the
staff and then lowered to half staff;
before lowering for the day, it should
be raised again to the peak and then
lowered for removal.
At crossed staff with another flag,
the American flag should be on the
observers left, the staff in front of
the staff of the other flag.
When forming clutter with other
flags, the American flag should be in
the center Of the group or at the high
est point in the group.
In a procession, the American flag
should be on the marching right Of all
other flags, or in the forecenter of q
line of flags.
Whether indoors or not, the flag
should not be festooned over door
ways or arches, tied in bow-knot
or otherwise employed in a purely
decorative manner. For these pur
poses, bunting of the national color:
is more appropriate and since the blue
Union is the flags honor point, thu
bunting should be arranged with tina
color uppermost.

can flag, if not flown from staff,
should be displayed flat and placed
above and to the rear of the speaker
Union on the observers left. If on
a staff, the flag should be on the
speakers right.
On a staff projecting from win
dow, the flag may be displayed with
the staff either horizontal or at an
angle, with the Union, except when at
half staff, to the uppermost point of
the staff.
When several flags are flown from
staffs, the American flag should be
flown from the staff on the extreme
left of the observer. Old Glory is hoist
ed first and lowered last.
When flags of two or more nations
are displaced, they should be flown
from separate staffs and all flags
should be approximately the same
size. International usage forbids the
display of the flag of one nation over
that of another in time of peace.
At unwilling ceremonies the Ameri-
can flag should form distinctive fea-
ture Of the program, but should not
be used as a covering for the statue.
The use of the flag for athletic uni
forms, handkerchiefs, napkins, or 9th
er purpoes lacking dignity and respect
while not strictly violation of law,
is offensive to persons Of patriotic
feeling.
When the flag becomes soiled, it
may be Numbered with propriety. This
is done best in ones own home.
There is an old Army custom where
by Old Glory, when damaged or fray
ed, may be withdrawn from services
with due reverence. According to
this custom, the Union is first cut
from the flag, then the two pieces of
the flag which is no longer flag are
cremated and their ashes strewn over
the parade ground.

GAS, HOPES
FOR OIL

TULSA, Okla, Aug. 4 U.N.SO.
Tulsans, who in recent months
have watched enviouSly as their
southwest neighbors in Oklahoma
City reaped rich profits from
backyard oil wells. speculated to-
day on the possibility that Tulsa,
like the State capital, may be
built over an oil field.
Discovery of Gas Saturday at a
depth of 1,071 feet in a new gas
field opened up just 100 feet east
of the city limits, led George A.
Mcconnell, who opened the new
field, to declare:
"This well proves that Tulsa
Is built over an oil field"
The sweet gas" was struck in
sand by mo. Markham and Nc
Graw," the first we'll of the field
which Mcconnell has been drilling
secretly just across the Arkansas
River from TulsaS fashionable
Riverside Drive.
About 80 wells will be sunk on
the 147-acre leased tract, McCon-
nell said. Meanwhile, he and his
associates are considering an offer
which they said has been made
them by the Oklahoma Natural
Gas Company, despite the fact
that production of the field is still
ungauged.
Oil men, however, are inclined
to minimize the Importance of the
"gasser." The chief scout of one
major company said:
Shallow gas has been found
around Tulsa for 40 years. AL
most any resident could drill in
his backyard and get enough to
supply the neighbOrhOOd. But
there is seldom enough to pay
the cost of drilling"
The expert admitted that there
is oil under the city.

Bass In Reservoir.
PASS fishing is much better along
the forks of the Shenandoah, the
Upper Potomac and the South Branch
in West Virginia. An all-day trip to
these streams Is sometimes hard to
fit in, and it's helpful to know . few
sports where you can 60 after work
and still get back in time to get in
the regular eight hours Of shuteye.
Another nearby spot for bass
fishing b the Dalecarlia reser-
voir. Licenses to fish there can
be obtained without cost from
the Engineer's Office in the
Navy Building.
The reservoir is q mighty big lake;
1t takes several hours to 60 around
1t and fish all the likely spots, and
YOU never can tell where the bass will
be. Right at the head Of the reser-
voir, where the water rushes out Of
the conduit, has proven to be q popular
locality and is heavily nshed. Under
stand that this place Is not teeming
with bass and there are days when
you will not get 10 much ~ . strike.
But enough bass are taken there to
make anglers 60 back for more.

stable balance to work from-as most

This Is the reason Jack Demp-
sey had so much trouble with

Ettore Is younger, stronger and
tougher than most of the men Louis

chances are Ettore will be knocked
out-but he can give the Bomber
more than a cupful of trouble by rush.

Louis get set.
Louis without any question still is
the best combination boxer and pun
isher the fight game has around TO-
day. And you can toss in numoer
of yesterdays and a few tomorrows
But he has yet to show how able he
is against an opponent who refuses to
let him set up the manner and method
of the evenings show.
II AL Ettore has his share to say
about this. the Philadelphia party may
be an interesting brawl-for Few
