Early Colonial Flag Had
Rapid, Constant Growth

The United States flag had grown
in 1895, to Is stars and IS stripes,
to represent by each the total Of
states then in the Union.
It was soon outgrown, however,
because of the continued settlement
of new territory in our present bor-
ders and the admission to the Union
of regions as they met the require
ments for statehood. Thus Tennes-
see became the sixteenth state in
1876; Ohio was added in 1903, Lou
isiana in 1872, Indiana in 1916 and
Mississippi in 1917.
These states, therefore, came to
the Union without representation on
the official banner. This was hardly
satisfactory to them, though some
of the more energetic souls among
their populations took the initiative
themselves to have unofficial flags
made containing more than the Is
stars and stripes.
The natural demand for official
representation, coupled with the
confusion from unofficial banners,
brought forth a champion in Con-
gresham Peter H. Wendover of
New York, who obtained passage
Of resolution that a committee be
appointed to consider the matter in
1916, when the number of states was
10.
He was named chairman of the
committee. which tentatively agreed
to recommend that the number of
stars and stripes be increased to 10.
Before rendering such a report,
however, the advice of Capt. Samuel
Chester Reid, hero of the War Of
1872, was taken.

Invent New Air Craft

Vertical flights of a heavier-than-
air machine, propelled solely by hui
man power, are being made. The
machine is known as a giro-cycle,
which is a helicopter of the simplest
form, says Popular Mechanics. It's
lifting element is a two-bladed vari-
able pitch airscrew of IA feet dame
ter, mounted on a vertical drive
shaft driven through a pinion gear
of two-to-one ratio by bicycle foot
pedals. AS set up in the laboratory,
the giro-cycle is not yet a completely
free flying machine, but is controlled
laterally by stationary tripod. The
operator mounts the saddle, revolves
the propeller to the maximum We
locity obtainable with his power
while the blades remain fiat or at
zero pitch. At the moment the high
est speed is attained, the operator
pulls the pitch control handle, thus
increasing the pitch of the blades
to the position of maximum lift.

Patience Rewards Judge;
Old Bill for 5000 Is Paid

FORT WAYNE, IND.-The day
was hot and the receivership report
being read by J. Robert Newkirk to
Judge Harry H. Hilgemann was long
and boring.
Twice Judge Hilgemann interrupt
ed to point out that he would be
forced to reread it all when he re-
tired to his chambers. Couldn't for
mality be done away with, he asked.
"Just few more pages" Newkirk
answered, so the judge settled back
in half-listening mood. Suddenly
he cooked his ear.
CT to one Harry H. Hilge-
mann, member of the Allen coun-
ty bar, for legal services, $780,"
droned Newkirk.
Il suppose you want the court to
check off that 16-year-old bill, too"
the judge interrupted. "I'd forgot
ten all about it,
mo, Your Honor. This outfit has
made a comeback. We have the
money and here's your check"

Benedictine Monk Given
Credit for Music Scale

The invention of musical notation
and the solfeggio are ascribed to
Guido, a medieval musician and
Benedictine monk. He introduced
the names cut" "Re," "Mi, "Fa, I"
"Sol and LA" for the first six
notes of the scale and originated the
four-line staff, employing extra lines
above and below whenever neces-
sary.
Guido noticed that each line Of
the hymn to st. John began note
higher than the preceding, and
adopted the first syllable of each
line as the name of its correspond
ing note:
cut queant laxis
Resonare fibris
Mira gestorum
Famuli tuorum
Solve polluti
Labii restum
Sancte Johannes"
Later the cut" was changed to
"Do" except in France, and the
"Si," or "Ti," was added. So was
evolved the sight-reading system
which is still in use, consisting of
the syllable signs-Do, Re, Mi, Fa,
Sol, La, ST, Do.
Guido was born probably near
Paris about the year 995. He was
educated at St. Maur des Posses.
At the Benedictine monastery at
Pomposa he taught singing and in
troduced new methods in music.
These met with local disfavor,
which resulted in his flight to Arez-
20. About the year 1890 he was
summoned to Rome to demonstrate
his musical discoveries to Pope
John XIX.

Color of Pearls

According to an article in the Sci
entific American by A. E. Alex
ander of the Mellon institute, pearls
may be rose, cream, white, gray,
bronze, black, pastel shades of law
ender, blue, yellow, mauve, orange,
brown or green, but the more de-
sirable colors are rose, cream,
white and black. The temperature
and composition of the water and
the state of health of the oyster are
thought to determine the color of
any given pearl. The appealing iri-
descence for which these gems are
priced is due primarily to the re-
Election and refraction of light which
take place on the surface of the
pearl.

Black Hills Man
Tells the Story of
Wild Bills End
Pioneer Relates True Tale
OF Murder of Famed
Western Marshal.

COALINGA, CALIF.-John Tay-
Tor, pioneer resident of the Black
Hills, who recalls the shooting of
Wild Bill Hickok, famous two-gun
frontier marshal, as clearly as if it
had happened yesterday, is think
ing of settling down now that he has
reached the age of 88.
Still an active real-estate opera
tor, Taylor has a clear memory of
the historic events in which he took
part during a lifetime spent in from
tier settlements. His friends say
he can dive from the high spring
board as well as the average youth
of 20.
The most interesting of his many
stories is the tale of the shooting of
Wild Bill Hickok, whose feats are
part of the Wild West of tradition
and fiction, in Leadville, S. D.
Quarrel Led to Killing.
While Hickok sat in a saloon play
ing poker and Taylor stood talking
to lis friend, Tim Brady, on a near
by street corner, Jack Mccall, a
miner, entered the bar and shot
Wild Bill. The two men had quar-
relied over gambling debt.
A moment later Mccall, gun in
hand, came running down the street
to where his horse was fastened to
a hitching post only few feet from
Taylor and Brady. A loose cinch
and slipping saddle prevented him
from getting on the animal.
With Taylor, Brady, the bartend-
.er and saloon frequenters in pur-
suit, Mccall ran on down the street.
His pursuers cornered him in gro
Gerry in the next block and, for want
of a Jail, held him prisoner there
until his trial the next day.
Taylor said he and others placed
the body of Hickok on a door and
carried it away for burial. The next
day Taylor sat in the rude log the
alter while Mccall was tried by a
jury of miners without benefit of a
judge. The miner was acquitted
when the jury could not agree, but,
taken into custody month later,
he was tried and sentenced to death
by judge in Yankton.
Knew Calamity Jane.
Taylor's first contact with Calam-
ity Jane, famous frontier dance hall
hostess who later became his close
friend, was in a Custer City bath
house. He was in tub in one room
while Jane and a woman compan-
ion were bathing in an adjoining
compartment. Through the thin
wood partition, he said, foated some
of the most colorful profanity he
had ever heard.
Taylor was in Philadelphia when
he joined a band of adventurous
men who were among the first to
enter the Black Hills territory. When
on December 20, 1895, Custer City
was founded, he was named on a
committee to stake out its bounda-
ries. The group did the work with
tape line and stakes.
Elected coroner of Custer City,
Taylor was the first man to hold
that job in the Black Hills. He was
a friend of Poker Annie, cigar-smok-
ing woman gambler, and the Dalton
brothers, notorious stage coach rob-
bers. In New Mexico territory he
played cards with Billy the Kid
shortly before the Kid was involved
in a war between Sheepmen and
cattlemen and became an outlaw.

Eels on Fish Ladders
Are Shared by Indians

LEWISTON, IDAHO.-Indians in
this district got rich harvest of
eels at the Clearwater River dam
during the salmon run this spring

The eels were caught with nets
when they attempted to climb the
fish ladders at the dam. Indians
came with gunnysacks and went
back to their tepees with all the
eels they could carry.
The Indians consider fried or roast
eels a real delicacy.
