! Commonwealth in a common bond of
allegiance.
Later the flag was our symbol
when proud and naughty Spain was
forever panished from our continent
to win freedom for the oppressed
people of other lands. Pledged as a
symbol OF life, liberty and the pur-
suit of happiness Old Glory has been
in campaigns abroad only when the
ideals of democracy have been en-
dangered.
Perhaps our ideals have not always
been realized, but history will bear
witness that lust of conquest or
thirst for world dominion have never
prompted us to take up arms.
Although historians disagree, ira
dition points to Betsy Ross, a pOpu-
lar Philadelphia flag maker of the
day, as the maker of the first sample
OF the Stars and Stripes. We are
told that a committee headed by
George Washington, called on Mrs.
Ross in the Spring of 1875, and sub
mitted a rough design of a new type
of flag in which stars had been sub
stitnted for the crosses of st. George
and St. Andrew.
On June II. the following year,
Congress resolved THAT the flag of
the thirteen United States be thir-
teen stripes, alternate red and white;
that the union be thirteen stars.
white in blue field, representing a
new constellation"
At first there were only thirteen
stars in that constellation, illumi-
mating the thirteen stripes. Later
two more stars and stripes were add
ed for Vermont and Kentucky. How |
ever, subsequent legislation author
lied the return to the original thir- /
teen stripe design. and the adding of |
new stars until now there are 4S
cleaning symbols in the Star Spang-
led Banner.

the trail across a primitive wilder

But that story has not always been
a tale of workshop and forge and

and women. The American Flag was

75S CHILDREN FOUND
WITH DENTAL DEFECTS

OONElWNtW llOm AH9b eHE
The roundup" conducted each
spring during the closing days of
school to discover physical defects
in those who are about to begin their
educational career, is a voluntary af-
fair to which parents are invited to
bring or send their children. Upon
completion of the health check, any
defects found are noted on a card
which is given to the parents. AS
was recently announced, public
health nurses will visit the homes
of children with defects, to offer
guidance to parents in arranging for
the corrections to be made. Physi-
cal examinations at school in the
autumn will show what corrections
have been made during the interven-
ing months.
The examinations are carried on
by competent staff Of trained den
tai hygienists and public health
nurses, under the guidance Of the
county health officer. While not per-
mitted to prescribe for the defective
child, they render the parents a great
service in ascertaining physical all
ments and recommending that the
child be taken to the family physi-
clan or dentist for treatment
The mere presence Of dental de-
fects among children Of pre-schooI
age is thought largely attributed to
malnutrition, whether from insult
ficient or incorrect diet, while the
severity Of the defects is believed I
due to lack Of care.

Old Glory celebrates another ami
versary on June 14th.
Back in the fast-dimming twilight
of the Revolution the folds of the
Stars and Stripes first fiuttered in
the breezes. The flags first official
birthday was June 14th, 1877.
Long before Old Glory was born,
other symbolic bits of bunting had
expressed the hopes and aspirations
of liberty-lOving people, Early col
Onial flags show anchors, beavers,
pine trees and other Insignia, and
some Of them bore the words.
Hope" Liberty" or "An Appeal to
Heaven"
Prominent among these early ban
ners were the rattlesnake and Grand
Union designs; the former showing
a rattlesnake spread across the thir-
teen stripes, and the latter bearing
the crosses of st. George and st. An
drew, where white stars in a blue
field are now shown.
Old Glory was born when thirteen
struggling colonies chung tenaciously
to a narrow war-ravaged strip of
land along the Atlantic coast. II
was the symbol of men who had
dared to say. We hold this truth to
be self evident that all men are
created free and equal!"
For a brief space the flag under
which they had fought and purchased
their freedom chung to a narrow
bOrderline of earth along the Attain
tic seabOard. and then it started
westward.
Today the forests and the noun
tains of the Far North know that
banner and the tale it bears: the |
Drairies Of the West, the cliffs and
gOrges of the Rockies, the swamps [
and bayOus and rich fields OF the |
sunny South. Yet the half of that I
story has not been told.

PRACTICAL EDUCATION
HiIda Richmond

Hilda Richmond
II was very warm afternoon
and the children were having a glOr.
iOus time playing with water on thG
back porch. They were wet and the
porch looked "a sight" as Aunt
Hannah remarked when she came to
call, but everybody was happy. Pres
emily the children fastened up a
sagging clothes line from one apple
tree to another in the yard and hung
out doll clothes, Indian suits, hand
kerchiefs and other articles all
dripping with soap suds and of
course poorly washed.
Aunt Hannah who had brought up
the pretty mother of the wet and
putting children remarked severely
| that she did not know where her
niece got such ideas, for surely new
/ er at her foster home had such
things been allowed.
"Auntie," said the young nation,
II wish you had allowed them. I've
longed for a practical education in
everyday affairs more than you can
know My children shall be encOur-
aged to cook and clean and work
right from the start if can man
age it,"
At the word cook" a dripping
yOungster trailed into the clean kit
chen to bring out a cloudy loaf of
cake which she proudly claimed as
her own product. It was all the ell
derby lady could do to force a few
words of praise, the eager youngs-
ter displayed the treasure in the tin
pan, and she was still more shocked
when the trio fell upon the cake and
devOured it, but the mother was not
disturbed.
1T did have too much -four in it
but it won't hurt them" she said
easily. "They know when and what
they may eat. Learn to do by do
ing is my motto with the children.
Matte will probably make a better
cake next time and If not she will
keep on trying. Do you remember,
Auntie, how l used to tease to wash
my own socks in lot of warm suds
and cry because l couldn't make my
share Of the sandwiches for the pic
nic?"

she added cOnvincingly, you knew

young matron promptly. Here

he visitor. Look at the way Billy
has combed his hair. No doubt he
had his fingers in the lemonade, too.
You simply can not trust children"
Billy had "slicked" his hair and
his clothes, well knowing
Aunt Hannah's ideas about children,
tut the paper napkin placed on the
ray was soaked as he jOlted along
With his product. Something about

put from Maine has exceeded 10000
carloads and seems likely TO fully
equal the early predictions of $4,000,
especially If high prices make a mar
ket for the inferior grade. Potato
prices are expected to remain high,
at least until the modern crop Of
North Carolina is in full swing next
month.
Weak Onion Market
The onion market remains rather
weak although prices have not de-
clined further to any great extent,
despite continued heavy receipts.
Texas shipments are slowing down,
not from lack of supplies, but owing
to low prices in producing sections.
Southern yellow stock sells in north
ern markets fairly steady at soc to
81. California shipments are also
held back to a great extent, owing
to lack of demand.
Shipments Of cabbage from East
ern Shore Of Maryland and Virginia,
and from North Carolina have been
increasing but Mississippi stock still
comprises bulk of the caFlOt ship
ments. Eastern Shore and Carolina
cabbage has been selling at mostly
75c to 81 per half-barrel hamper.
Northern markets show little change
the last week Of May and prices were
about steady In producing sections.
Market supplies Of spinach are
now mostly from local sources, but
a few carlOts daily are moving from
Virginia producing sections. Prices |
are fairly well maintained at 25c to |
Zoe a bushel in leading markets, |
mostly around SOC.
Peas from Virginia Eastern Shore |
and the Norfolk district started
around 81 a bushel in northern mar
kets and maintained a fairly steady
range of Csc to $1.25 according to
quality. Southern tomatoes are
much lower because of increasing
receipts from Florida and Texas.
dollhouse stock is still selling quite
well at 81 to $1.15 per S-pound has

packs.
Strawberry Supplies Moderate
