"America For Americans"
ETIQUETTE OF FLAG
The position of the flag Is aloft,
from a pinnacle of a building:, high
er than the furniture of a room.
and above the head of one carrying
it.
At all army posts in time of
peace the flag is raised at
• reveille" and lowered at "retreat."
Theoretically, it flies from sunrise
to suaset, out actually in summer
reveille 's sounded after sunrise and
in winter it may be sounded before
sunrise.
In the navy the flag is ra sed at
s a. m. and lowered at sundown.
The flag is not lowered at sun
down when battle is raging, for to
lower U at such times woudl mani
festly t>e a signal of surrender.
No laws compel civilians to low
er the flag at sundown; but good
taste should impel every citizen to
follow, so far aa practicable, the
tradition of the army and navy In.
the sundown ceremonial.
It is a tradition in both the ar
my and navy that the flag, when
lowered, must not touch the earth
in camp or garrison, nor the roof
or barracks or armory, nor the deefc
of a ship. The assistants to tbe
sergeants or quatrermaster receive
the fold in their arms as the flag
I'omes down, and thus tenderly fold
it and carry it to its resting jrface
for the night.
The flag should not be used to
cover the top of a table, and no
object should rest upon l.t The
Bible has 'long been excepted from
this rule.
It may oe used to cover a casket
of the dead. In this use, the union,
shall be at the head.
Old custom in the army and navy
orJains that it shall never be
washed. Theoretically, it Is al
ways pure and clean.
When a flag is torn or frayed out
oy the wind it is never again hoist
ed until it has been repared. Flags
sent and torn in battle are not re
paierd, but are kept in their proui
lacerations as precious relics. . i
To throw aa old flag into the j
rag bag or use it for any menial
purpose is a crying insult. When
the ensign has become so worn by
wind and eather that it cannot bo
repaired, or has suffered some ir
reparable accident, assemble with
dignity around the remains, and |
with fitting ceremony consign them
to the flames.
Ia his great speech ia aid of the
Red Cross the other day. President
Wilson, to Illustrate a certain point,
told the following: "I heard a
story the other day that was ri
diculous, out it is worth repeating.
Realise it contains the germ of
truth. Aa Indian wa$ enlisted in
the army. ile returned to the res- j
ervatioa oa a furlough. He was
asked what he thought of it. He I
said: 'No much good; too much Ba
lute, no much shoot.* Then he was
asked, 'Ace you going back?' 'Yes.'
'Well, do you know what you are
fighting for?' 'Yes. }Ie know:
fight to make whede damn world j
democratic party.' He had evident- |
ly misunderstood some innocent sen
tence of my own."
I H« Mad* )1
It vU the night of Llnoeln'f first
•taction, and the little frirae torn*
of the Lincoln9 In Springfield; QL, Via
filled with friends and relatives, all
eager for aome news of the election
results. The reports for awhile bad
been earning in early and favorable,
but after awhile they began to be leas
promising. Mrs. Lincoln bad been by
her husband's side all day. He bow
Insisted that she retire. The enwd
gradually began to dwindle. Then
came the news that New York had
been carried, followed immediately by
tbe report that Lincoln bad carried
the country. The rest of tbe story
w<juld be better told by the great man
himself.
"When there was no longer any
doubt or reason for doubt." he related
afterward, "I went up to ay bedroom
and found my wife asleep. I gently
touched her shoulder and said, "Mary?
She made no answer. I spoke again,
a little louder, saying, 'Mary, Mary, we
are elected? "—Brooklyn Eagle.

For certain alang expression# usad by
cadeta I am -Indebted to a member of
the corps. From this future admiral I
learn that a "bird" or "wasxo" Is a
man or boy; that a "pap sheet" Is a re
port covering delinquencies and that to
"hit the pap" is to be reported foe de«
llnquency; that "steam" is marina en
gineering and to be "bilged for juice"
is to fall In examinations In electrical
engineering; to get an "unsaf or un
satisfactory mark, or eren a "*lp" or
"swabo," which Is « «ero.
Cadets do not escort girls to dances,
but "drag" them; a girl is a "drag,"
and a "heavy drag" or "brick" Is an un
attractive girl who must be taken to a
dance. A "sleuth" or "jimmylegs" la a
night watchman, and to be "ragged" is
to be caught Mess hall waiters are
sometimes called "mokes," while at
other times the names of certain exalt
ed dignitaries of the navy department
or of the academy are applied to them.

Why W. Walk in Our Sleep.
Roughly speaking, the mind is di
vided into two parts. One controls the
actions of which we are coascloa* and
the other those which we do uncon
sciously. In the latter class:are such
things as walking and breathing. So
that the second part of the mind works
equally as well whether its owner is
asleep or awake. When the body ar
the other part of the mind la tired to
the point of exhaustion or is harried
bj pain the second part la liable to be
unduly active. Then it is that wo are
most likely to walk or talk la our
aleep and have "nightmares." And be
cause the acutely conscious part ef the
jx^nd is dormant and set subject to
fears the sleep walker frequently trav
erses dangerous places unhurt—Den

Drift From Country t« City.
Some further statistics as to the
drift of population in this country from
the country to the city were presented
in a recent census bureau report. Fi^
ures show that this drift.has now cov
ered a period of a century and a .quar
ter, or from 1790 to the present time,
1790 being the year ia which the first
census of population was taken. Since
that time the drift has been practically
uninterrupted. In 1790 cities were ex
tremely rare la this country. Only ona
had a population of more than 30,000.
This was New York city, which bad at
that time 33.131 inhabitants. Next
came Philadelphia with 28,500, and
then Boston with 18,320. In the en
tire country there were only 3,929,214
people.—Literary Digest
English Parliaments.
During Queen Victoria's reign eight
parliaments lasted over five years and
two overall years. The property qual
ifications considerably restrict the right
of suffrage, and only about one-sixth
of the people are voters. All clergy
men of the Church of England, minis
ters of the Church of Scotland and
Roman Catholic clergymen are dis
qualified from sitting as members of
the house of commons. This provi
sion applies only to the clergy.
Package For Henry.
"Yes, Henry and I certainly possess
similar tastes!" exclaimed the adoring
bride. "We are surely Interested In
the same things:"
"Yes," agreed Henry's mother-in-law
grimly, "you certainly are. You care
more for dear Henry than for any one
else In the world, and se doea her—'

President and Mrs. Wilson, whett
In Now York recently, went to the
Palace theatre to see the musical
comedy, "Jack O'Lantern," In
■which Fred Stone a brother-in-hm
of the Alaskan author, Hex Beach,
Is the bright particular star. Of
course .the big audience expected
a speech from the distinguished,' spec
tator, and the chief executive, arose
and said: "Ladles and gentlemen,
you are laboring under a delusion.
You think you see the president of
the United State. You are mis
taken. Really, you see a tired man
having a good time."
An article in the last number of
the Saturday Evening Post gives us
some information about how to
measure, off hand, the velocity of
tne wind. It follows:) Smoke moves
straight up, speea or wind is nil;
smoke slants, speed is two miles an
hour; the wind is felt on the face,
speed is five miles; paper, etc.,
moves about, speed is ten miles;
bushes are seen to sway, speed la
fifteen miles; tree tops »way,afld
wavelets are formed on water, speed
is twenty miles; tree tpps sway and
whistle, speed is thirty miles. This
method of measuring the speed of
the wind was devised long ago by
an admiral in the English navy,
Beaufort Dy name.

Sealskin la admired the world over for
Its softness aud glossiness: and yet the
human hair is equally as soft and glossy
when healthy: and the radical cause of all

by a pestiferous parasite that saps the
vitality of the hair at Its root Newbro's
Herplcide is the only preparation that Is
fatal to the dandruff germ. Without dan
