DISPLAY OF THE FLAG

wednesday, June 14th, is Flag
Day, marking the 162nd anniversary
of the adoption of the Stars and
Stripes as the National emblm.
AS it is a universal custom to
display Old Glory on that date, the
rules governing the exhibit OF the
grand old emblem will be found
timely.
There are hard and fixed rules
for the display of our national
emblem that should be observed
but to which few people pay little
heed, as is repeatedly manifested
If one will watch the public dis
plays.
Many people, with the best OF in
tentions, use the flag for decorative
purposes, and otherwise display II
improperly, when a few simple rules
for ordinary use of the flag mlgh'
be remembered. They are easy te
keen in mind if once definitely fixed
there.
Protests from patriotic societies
few years ago brought to light the
face that the war department has
published a bulletin giving few
rules on the subject, not based upor
law, but upon fundamental rules o.
heraldry and good taste.
The union of the flag is the honol
point; the right arm is the swore
arm and therefore the place O.
honor. The staff edge of the flag Il
carried, as in procession, with an
other flag or flags, the place for th'
national flag is on the right, l. e.
the flags own right.
When the national flag and an
other flag are displayed together
as against wall from crossed staHs
the national flag should be on thu
right, the flags own right, |. e., tn
observers left and it's staff shoult
be in front of the staff of the othel
flag. When a number of flags arr
grouped and displayed from stains
the national flag should be in TIM
center or at the highest point O.
the group.
When the national flag is huns
either horizontally or verticall!
against q wall, the union should Df
uppermost and to the flags owl
right, i. e., to the observers lett
When displayed from staff project
ing horizontally or at an angle IRON
q window sill or the front OF
building, the same rules should d.
observed; the union should go cleal
to the truck" as the peak OF thu
staff is called, unless the flag be a
half staff.
When the flag is suspended be
tween buildings SO as to hang ovel
the middle of the street, a simple
rule is to hang the union to thu
north in an east and west street OF
to the east in a north and souti
street.

Early American Ordinary
Forerunner of the Hotel

The early American public house
or ordinary" as it was commonly
called, was the crude forerunner of
the modern hotel in this country.
With the development of roads these
"ordinarys" increased. Gradually
the old name was dropped, and the
public houses, with their taprooms
and great fireplaces, became known
as taverns. About the time of the
Revolution the word hotel was found
in general use, relates writer in
the Chicago Tribune.
In 1894 the City hotel, New York
house with 70 rooms, was opened.
It was considered tremendous es-
Enlistment in its time. Soon other
hotels were built in Philadelphia,
Boston, and Baltimore. The new es-
adjustments were confined, howev-
er, to the principal eastern cities
until the development of the rail-
road.
The first steam trains carried
many commercial travellers west
ward into new business territories.
Quickly their numbers increased
and as quickly hotels sprang up in
the towns and cities which became
their stopping places. :.

The American merchant has given
the American people the best retail
service in the world. A typical small
town store in this country, dealing
in food, harware, drugs, dry goods,
or anything else, offers a far wider
selection of goods, of a far better
quality, than a typical store in any
other land. This goes for single
unit as well as multiple-unlt
merchandising.

The Royal Guests

Royalty will be entertained in
Washington in truly royal ways. The
Democratic United States hasn't
made much fuss over the Royal
House of Britain since the time the
English troops came here and burn
ed the White House. But President
James Madison didn't have much of
military force to show the British
a century and quarter ago. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is going to let the
King and Queen look over our mil
itary and naval forces. including
tanks and airplanes, as a part of the
royal welcome. They will be sur
prised when they find out how for
giving and nice We Americans are.

Cabell Comments

Congressman John M. Coffee in
troduced bill in Congress to place
a strict embargo on war materials
and other commodities being ship
ped to Japan. A rider on this bill
prohibited Americans from even
travelling on Japanese liners. This
bill should have been introduced in
the same form several years ago
and too, have included Germany
and Italy who are supposedly the
co-partners of Japan, in order to
not only show sympathy toward
China but also Spain, thus making
it a humanitarian issue by remov-
ing any political significance.
Senator G.. B. Kerstetter has
been Endorsed by the Tacoma Cen
trail Labor Council for Collector of
Internal Revenue after that same
group assailed the recent legisla-
lures Endorsement of Senator Kyle
for that post. Kerstetter's name
for this high government position
will no doubt bring to a head the
long fight between U. S. Senators
Bone and Schwellenbach, which
has prevented an appointment of
a Revenue Collector for three and
half years.
Laying off of thousands of WPA
workers and cutting off relief re-
cipients at this particular time will
cause untold suffering, humiliation
and grief, and will have its roper
cussions in 1910.

Listen To This
BY Hobart Z. Mitchell

The wife of a Roman, upon her
marriage, received a confidential
slave. He belonged to her, the
master having no control over
him. He frequently had the con-
fidence of the wife more than her
husband. He took charge of the
paraphernalia of the wife. For
her footmen and couriers, the wife
preferred always the Negroes; and
one reason given was because of
the contrast of the skin and the
silver plate suspended upon the
breast, upon which was inscribed
the name and title of the mistress.

Nimbleheels in the longest Jump
Peter had yet seen him make.
Hooty struck with his great curved
claws, but he was too slow. AS
before, hardly had Nimbleheels
landed in the grass than Hooty was
lowering right over the very spot.
Nimbleheels did not wait for him
to scream but was in the air in
another long jump almost as soon as
he reached the ground. This time he
jumped to the side instead of in
the direction he had jumped before.
Probably 1t was this that saved

great eyes piercing down fiercely
for a glimpse of the little Mouse
he knew must be hiding among the
grass stems right beneath him.
Peter sat quite still with horror,
which was, perhaps, just as well
for Peter. Could it be that the
little friend with wrom he had just
become so well acquainted was go
ing to be snatched away in the
cruel claws of Hooty right before
his very eyes? Could it be?
Suddenly Ho2ty screamed, and at
the sound out from the grass shot

a little jumping Mouse if he had q
chance for a Rabbit dinner. So
there was nothing for Peter to do
but to sit there and hope and hope
with all his might that Nimbleheels
would escape and that Hooty would
get far enough away to give him,
Peter, chance to bolt for the
safety of his home. -
1t seemed to Peter that Nimble-.
heels was making shorter Jumps.
Was he getting too tired to jump
II so, the end would come soon.
Peter held his breath.
