FASHION NOTE.
BY u. I. Phillips,
in Nations Business

Sock him on the kisser,
Put him on the pan,
Roll him in the gutter
He's a business man!
Pillory the sucker,
Poke him in the eye,
Jump upon his torso &
He's a business guy!
Has he built a business
To enormous heights?
Brand him as a cheater-
Never mind his rights!
Does he give employment?
Is the pay roll big?
Put the bum in ironsl
Toss him in the brigl
Does he pay in taxes
What the law calls for?
Why, the dirty reptile
Should be paying more!
Blast him in the headlines,
Charge some crooked actsl
Let this be your slogan
Anything but factsl"
Has he made some money!
Get his scalp today
Say, where does he think hts
Living, anyway?

Commission, Oeadlocked by
Two Good Entries, Asks
Advice.

Unable to decide between two favored
designs as the Capitals emblem, the
District Flag Commission today. after
admitting a deadlock. submitted the
decision to the Commission of Fine
Arts.
The new entry which brought about
this situation was a flag designed by
Mrs. George T Hawkins, a member of
the American Liberty Chapter. Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution. 1t
has huge center star on a back
ground of blue The star is divided
into l3 portions. each representing one
of the original colonies. In its center
is design Of the Capitol Building, or
if the Flag Commission chooses. an
alternate is provided in the shield with
the coat of arms of the Washington
family.
The star is encircled by 48 small
gold stars. The words District of
Columbia may or may not appear at
the bottom of the flag designed, Mrs
Hawkins told the commission
Mrs. Hawkins, who resides at 1916
Sixteenth street NV, originally had
designed the emblem at the request of
the D. A. R. chapter. The second
design which the commission seemed
TO favor yesterday above all others is
a banner patterned after the original
shield of George Washington 1t has
three white and two red stripes, three
red stars ranging across the top white
bar.
Members of the commission said to-
day that so far as could be determined
the design for this flag was made in
1924 by Charles Dunn of 47lO Forty
ninth street. Mr. Dunn now is with
the United States Chamber of Com
merce. They explained that the COM
mission had made no claim that the
flag was the work of A. E. Du Bois.

mission.
The commission met in the office of
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen and
considered number of designs. They
were narrowed down eventually to the
two submitted to the Fine Arts Com
mission.
In addition to Mr.. HaZen, the men,

A band Of IA merry mountaineer
musicians has gone astray in Wash

dampened by the pangs of hunger.
They came from Virginia's Blue
Ridge, near the Tennessee line-"And
how we wish we were back in our
hills!" they say The man who found
them with their food supply ex-
hausted and their spirits low was

Hear Music Popular.
Here is their taIe: A rumor that the
great outside world liked mountain
music circulated over the hillside where
Mr.. and Mrs. Stoneman had their
cabin about years ago.
Like everybody else around. we had
picked on guitars ever since we could
walk" Mrs. Stoneman related yester-
day. Ernest, he could play the har-
monica. guitar and autoharp, or any
two of them at once"
So Mr.. Stoneman came to Washing
ton, got job and had the rest of
the family follow him. Eddie told
how they made their living:
Pa would sing lead. an I'd come
along with the tenor. We'd do things
like 'Sourwood Mountain and She'll
Be Comm Round the Mountain with
ma working it out on her violin. Thet
fiddle has been in our family for ITS
years-but Lordy, its getting all un-
glued now"
Music Goes Over Air.
For 20 weeks the family poured out
their tunes over Station WMAL. For
year they broadcast from WJSV.
They made many phonograph rec
ord-but then public taste turned
tickle, and there's been no music since.
OF course, there weren't IL children
then, but more kept coming" Mr..
stoneman is a good carpenter, so the
family kept running along at pace
that some people wouldn't call good,
but 1t was o. K. for US"
Real trouble struck Just this summer.
