Flags Here
Put Out For
Old Glory

Many business concerns here dis
played the Stars and Stripes in front
of their establishments today in OBJ
servance of Flag Day, national
event. 1t was exactly 1872 years ago
that the American flag was officially
adopted as the national emblem by
the Continental Congress in 1777.
Many people asked why the flags
were displayed and wanted to know
what the occasion was. When told,
they either had forgotten or did not
know to begin with.
Some thought it was a mark of
indifference or ignorance on the part
of the great masses of the American
people. 1t was not set down as any
lack of patriotism or loyalty to their
country. but merely lack of knoWl-
edge of the history of the nation, and
its national emblem.
There was, of course, no formal
observance of the day-merely the
display of the American flag by many
business concerns which own the
banners and put them out on flag
poles in front of their places on ma
t,onal holidays or special occasions
similar to Flag Day.

Recall Date
OF Discharge

Veterans of the World War are re-
calling from day to day now the
twentieth anniversary of their dis
charge from army or navy service
following the end of the war, and
every now and then this man and
that is heard to remark that this
is the anniversary" of his discharge
from duty.
While the war was ended with the
Almistice November II, 1918, it was
not until the spring of the following
year that most of the mon were given
their honorable discharges from duty.
Some were not released until sum-
mer.
Many who went overseas had been
sent back home and were returned
TO civilian life shortly after arriV-
ing in this country. Others who were
in camps at home were also kept on
duty until the year following the
armistice.
Today, twenty years after, most of
them have married and have sons or
daughters of their own, some with
boys old enough to be pressed into
service in a few years should another
national emergency arise. And all OF
them are hoping nothing of the sort
will happen. They tasted war in its
privations and sacrifices, its hard
ships and sufferings, and they want
none Of it for their children.

 He was so kind that Susie's de- Ifense went down in disorder. She fount herself agreeing to every- thing, submitting willingly. And with the first hard moment over things began to happen. Susie was photographed from every angle.
 At first furiously conscious of herself, she gradually accepted the impersonal treatment. With the departure of the cameraman other people were called in consultation. A physisal director not connected with the store blunt, forceful man with Scandinavian accent; Miss Fleming, head of the Beauty Salon, middle-aged woman with skin like a girl.
 She equinted at Susie, making notts on e. pad. Hair - oil treat ment. frequent shampoos, daily summing, Skin shows faulty diet, needs bleaching, massage, nour- ishment. Eyes - very good when face is thinner. Teeth-excellent Mouth = interesting = much im- proved by proper use of lipstick. Brows Pluck. She underlined this. She wrote, "Nose," and put a, cross after it. Obviously Susie's nose was to be the stumbling block.
 Susie looked dazedly at MT. Harker, aA Miss Fleming who was making notes about her fingernails, at Clifford Kane who, as manager of her campaign, must know every step of the way. They kept talking together as if she weren't there. Exercise would help her awkwardness. If not, dancing lessons would turn the trick. When it was all said and done, what about her nose? Her feet weren't so bad, 1t was the shoes. But her nose. Susie felt twisted and torn and, pummeled.

Poving Q ReoI Rood Of American Peoce

WHATEVER are the lasting re- " suits of the Pan-American conference at Lima, Peru, a 14,- 500-mile ribbon of peace is al- ready under construction to link the Americas. This is the great international highway which will some day stretch from Canada to the Argentine.
 The Fifth International Confer ence of American States, meeting in 1923 at Santiago. Chile, first laid definite plans for the road. Today 1t is a reality in portions of IA countries. When it is fin- ished it will be the worlds long, est road.
 Already motorists are using the 800-mile stretch from Laredo. Tex, to Mexico City, one of the most beautiful pieces of highway in the world. In two years the remaining 560 miles from Mexico City to Panama City are sched- uled to be completed. Some 800 of the 1880 miles through Canada have been in use several years.
 It is the jungles of the Central American countries that present the biggest problem. Only por- tions of these are now passable, but within a few years the routes that are now merely surveyors lines on a map will be stream lined highways. Once in South America, the motorist will find good roads most of the way. It is likely that cars may be ferried from Panama to Venezuela if one part of the jungle proves too haz- ardous for road building.
 So a dream of many years is being realized and observers place great stress on the importance of :..s---..-..-., this highway as
