admiralty for damages and recovered
heavily. Then was devised the plan
Of making the bottle fast to the bow
with a lanyard. This practical plan
is always followed in our own Navy,
ard so far our annals record no injury
to innocent bystanders.
In the old Navy it was the custom
for navy yard officials to designate
the sponsor who should break the bot
tie of wine or water and give the new
ship its name. But the present prac-
tice is for the Navy Department to
request the Governor of the State for
which battleship is to be named to
nominate the ships sponsor, and to
request the mayor of city for which
cruiser is to be named to nominate

the sponsor. When vessels are named
for individuals the Navy Department
selects the sponsor, whenever possible
designating some member of the fam
lily of the man for whom the ship is
named. The selection of all sponsors
must be approved by the Secretary Of
the Navy and finally by the President.
Since every new Navy ship means
a new Navy sponsor, the Society Of
Sponsors of the U. S. Navy will have
its membership very greatly increased
during the period of naval construc-
ton on which our country is now
entering.
Hitherto the society has been COM
paratively small in numbers. but has
had a geographic advantage arising
from the fact that every State of the
Union has citizens who are in its

The ancient Egyptians and the
ancient Greeks had elaborate religious

tered. Very few organizations show
as fine a cooperative spirit, much Of
the credit for which is undoubtedly
due to Mrs. Russell c. Langdon, who
has served as national president of the
sponsors since 1922 and whose gra-
ciousness and sincerity have endeared
her to the entire membership.
In addition to their generous con-
tributions toward all funds raised for
the families of those suffering from
naval disasters. the sponsors have un-
dertaken specialized welfare work Of
their own in giving preparatory school,
ing to sons of deceased naval or Ma
rine officers who desire to enter the
United States Naval Academy. Their
work along this line has had very
happy results.

TODAY'S YESTERDAYS

June IA, 1777-In the records OF
Congress for this date, inconspicuous-
ly sandwiched between the commits
sion of a naval officer and an order
relating to six small sloops in the
Delaware River, is this:
i"Resolved, that the Flag of the
United States shall be Is stripes, al
ternate red and white; that the union
be 13 stars, white in a blue field, rep
resenting a new constellation"
Hence June IA is observed as Flag
Day.
Contrary to romantic tradition, Mrs
Elizabeth Betsy" Griscom Ross OF
Philadelphia, had nothing to do with
designing the national symbol But a
Philadelphia widow, Mrs. Rebecca
Young, did make the first flag-red
and white stripes with crosses of SITS
Andrew and George in the blue field
of George Washington's army, and her
daughter, Mary, happened to sew the
first Star Spangled Banner"-the &C
tual flag that flew over Fl. McHenry
Baltimore, and inspired Francis S
Key to write the national anthem.
June IA, 1864-Peter E. Armstrong
formally decided 600 acres at Laporte
Pa, to Almighty God. 1t was later
seized by the sheriff for non-payment
of taxes.

Liquor Stores To
Absorb Sales Tax
CONTINUED from rage One.l

new list would be distributed to the
county boards and stores in time for
the new prices to go into effect July 1.
The new price list will have the effect
of reducing the price on most of the
numbers in the stores in interior coun-
ties from 10 to Is per cent, but Will
not materially change prices IN the
counties which have been using the
Virginia price list or prices in line
with those charged in the Virginia
stores.
"While all the counties will now be
required to pay the State seven per
cent of their gross safes, this does not
mean that their profit will be cut to
43 per cent as compared with the SO
per cent profit most of them have
been making in addition to the tax"
Chairman Moore said. For we have
helped the stores get better whole
sale prices on their cheaper numbers,
especially those selling for SO cents
and IS cents per pint, in that they will
now. get a so per cent mark-up profit
on these items. The other way we
have helped them is by making out
the price list so that all prices and
either with five or a naught.
THAT is, items which formerly sold
for $1.33 we have priced at $1.35,
while, those which formerly were
priced at SLAP we have now priced at
$1.4O, while in addition we have Sc
cured a lower base or wholesale price
from the distil!ers or wholesalers. So
even though the county stores must
include the state tax IN the prices
charged and cannot add the tax to
the so per cent mark-up, as many of
them wanted to do, the counties will
still be able to make about As per cent
net profit on all sales as a result of
the better base prices we have OBJ
tanned from the distillers and to other
adjustments in the price lists"
New Auditing System
The board will also put into effect
it's new uniform auditing system for
all liquor stores July 1, coincident
with the installation of the new price
list, Moore said. In fact, it has been
impossible to install the uniform au-
diting system until the new uniform
price list with uniform code numbers
could be gotten out, Moore explained
But with every item selling at the
same price and bearing the same code
it will be a relatively simple
matter to keep daily check on sales
and stocks in all stores. No effort
will be made to require stores to use
the same types of cash registers, |
since that would be too expensive, |
Moore said. But the new auditing sys- |
