Official u. S. Banner
Standardized in 1912

The present United States flag was
not officially standardized until 1912.
An exhaustive study of the history
Of our flag from its earliest begin
nings to the present has recently
been completed by Theodore T. Be-
lote, curator Of history at the Smith
sOnian institution.
AS a result Of this study an exhibit
to portray its colorful history, con-
sisting Of famous original flags. was
opened at the national museum in
Washington, under administration Of
the Smithsonian. This is the first
time a museum exhibit has ade-
quately treated the whole history Of
the American flag.
Among the earliest Of flags is the
New England flag Of 1885. a white
flag with a red cross and with an
oak tree in the upper inner corner.
Other sketches are Of the flags hasti-
ly devised in the American colonies
during the early period of the Rev
olution. Some Of these expressed
the varied emotions of the colonists
during their struggle for liberty.
Among this type are the famous
rattlesnake flag with the legend
Don't tread on mel" and the Grand
Union flag which by combining a
field Of red and white stripes with
the British Union Jack expressed
the hope of some colonists that there
might still be a reconciliation with
the mother country.
Another group Of sketches In
cludes the local military flags I'M
der which the various militia and
continental units fought their way
through the Revolution. These flags
represented local rather than ma
tional patriotism and were used ex-
clusively in the army-not in the
navy. They include the flags of the
Bedford, Mass, Minute-men, the
third New York regiment, the Sec
ond New Hampshire regiment, the
third Maryland regiment, and many
others.
All these early types of flags con-
tributed something toward the final
series Of sketches shown in the ex-
hibit-those including the many
forms Of the stars and stripes used
between 1777 and 1912.
Wide variety in the arrangement
of the stars in the union of flags ex-
listed during the entire Nineteenth
century, and it was not until 1912
that a standard arrangement was
established by an executive order
issued by President William H. Taft.

mind to work for the money you
are to receive.
L. R. P: am % years old. The
man that 1 love, l want to know
if he still loves me?
Ans: No, you don't interest him
any longer. There's no use in try
ing to win him back again for he
is thru with you. 1t is indicated
to me that you only think that you
love this man :. you two would
never have been able to get along.
E. L.: Help me. 1 have son
five years old and he seems to be
normal and healthy but he isn't.
Tell me if he will ever be all right?
Ans: l fear that he won't ever
be perfectly normal due to the
fact that his mind hasn't ever de-
velOped since he was a few months
or a year old. This yOungster
should be placed under the care of
a doctor and if he can be helped at
all, the doctor will surely do it.
G. H. c.: Ny mother is a teach
er and she is insisting that 1 go to
college, and specialize in business.
Tell me please if there is some
thing else that would be more
beneficial to me or am I talented
along this line?
Ans: A smart woman, your
mother. She knows there is no
great amount of money to be had
teaching and feels that your
chances for improving yourself
would be greater in the business
world =. l believe the same. Make
your arrangements to specialize in
business when you enter college
this fall.
A. E. G.: have been with man
four years and now 1 have met
another and fell in love with him.
What must / do?
Ans: Stick to the man you are
with. The young man you recently
met does like you to some degree
:. but it isn't TRUE LOVE. He's
young and will change his views
many times, and the man you are
with now is settled and will con-
tinue to make you a desirable
mate.

Arizon's PetriRed Forest

Americas most famous petrified
forest is in Arizona. The fossil trees
there are species Of pine, now ex-
tinct, which grew in the Age of Rep
tiles, or about 200, 0OO, 900 years ago.
After falling, they were washed
down a watercourse and lodged on
a sand bank, where they eventually
became buried under sand and clay.
Later the sand and clay were washed
away, leaving the bare trunks ex-
posed. At one place a stone log 10
feet long forms a natural bridge
across a deep gully which has been
washed out under it.

F. G. c.: Mr.. Wallace, you
really know your stuff. You an
swered me just right and now
know where to come when / get
in trouble. Tell me if it is wise
for me to go to Washington the
first of July?
Ans: Making this trip to Wash
ingtOn will prove beneficial to you
and your father, too. Take it as
you have planned. The business
transactions you are handling
thru mail right now can be very
easily attended to once you reach
your destination. If you need my

D. B. T.: Is there anything that
can be done for my aunt? She
can't walk and hasn't been able to
for four years and 1 am so upset
over it that l wishh for you1
opinion?
Ans: Stop humOring your aunt
and have a doctor with her. When
she is thoroughly examined the
doctor can determine the trouble
and may be able to help her. There
is no doubt but what she has
waited too long to receive medical
aid, but there still may be a
chance Of her walking again.
M. H. W.: Been reading YOU

husband about the money? Will
he be able to get it? Answer il

building several weeks ago, as the
two-week criminal term Of superior

The continuance vas granted by
Judge J.. Paul Frizzelle, presiding.
When court opened this morning,
Solicitor Erdel Carlyle caused some
thing of a surprise when he an
nounced that he was calling the case
for the first to be tried and that he
was ready for trial to start.
Former Solicitor Tom Neal, de-
tense counsel, countered with the
argument that at the last term
Judge Frizelle had granted them per
mission to examine the states wit
nesses prior to trial and asked that
the case be continued until next
Monday to allow them to do so.
Judge Frizzelle withdrew permits
sion for the defense to examine the
states witnesses prior to the trial

eance.
