THE AMERICAN FLAG AND HOW
IT SHOULD BE DISPLAYED.
There is but one Federal statute
which protects the flag throughout the
country from desecration. This law
provides that a trademark cannot be
registered which consists of or com-
prises the flag, coat-of-arms or other
insignia of the United States or any
simulation thereof. Congress has al-
so enacted legislation providing cer-
tain penalties for the desecration, mu-
tilation or improper use of the flag
within the Ditsrict of Columbia.
In adopting the Flag code, at the
Flag conference, emphasis was laid
on the following suggestions for State
legislation regarding the flag.
“Based upon the opinion of the Su-
preme court of the United States ren-
dered by Justice John Marshall Har-
lan, every State should enact adequate
laws for the protection of the Nation-
al flag. State flag laws should include
the following:
1. That June 14th, Flag day, be
set apart by proclamation of the Gov-
ernor recommending that Flag day be
observed by people generally by the
display of the Flag of the United
States and in such other ways as will
be in harmony with the general char-
acter of the day.
2. That the Flag of the United
States be displayed on the main ad-
ministration building of each public
institution.
3. That the Flag of the United
States with staff or flag pole be pro-
vided for each school house and be
displayed during school days either
from a flag staff or in inclement
weather within the school building.
4. That the Flag of the United
States be displayed in every polling
place.
5. That the use of the Flag of the
United States as a receptacle for re-
ceiving, holding, carrying or deliver-
ing anything be prohibited.
6. That the use of the flag for ad-
vertising purposes in any manner be
prohibited.
7. That the penalty (fine or im-
prisonment) be provided for public
mutilation, abuse, or desecration of
the Flag.
The code recommends that bunting
of the national colors should be used
for covering speaker’s desks, draping
over front of platform and for deco-
ration in general. Bunting should be
arranged with the blue above, the
white in the middle and the red below.
During the ceremony of hoisting or
lowering the flag or when the flag is
passing in review, the code recom-
mends that all persons present should
stand at attention facing the flag.
Men’s headdress should be removed
with the right hand and held at the
right hand salute. Women should
stand at attention, facing the flag, as
the flag is passing in parade, salute
by placing the right hand over the
heart. If the National anthem is
played and no flag is present, all
stand at attention when uncovered
and salute at the first note of the an-
them, retaining the position until the
last note of the anthem is played. If
in civilian dress and covered, men
should uncover and stand at attention,
facing the music. Women should
stand at attention and salute.
The pledge of the Flag is as fol-
lows: “I pledge allegiance to the
Flag of the United States and to the
Republic for which it stands, one Na-
tion indivisible, with liberty and jus-
tice for all.”
“The Star Spangled Banner” is rec-
ommended for universal recognition
as the National anthem.
The code rules for the proper man-
ner of displaying the Flag are as
follows:
1. The flag should be displayed
from sunrise to sunset only or be-
tween such hours as designated by
proper authority on National and
State holidays, and on historic and
special occasion. The flag should al-
ways be hoisted briskly and lowered
slowly and ceremoniously.
2. When carried in a procession
with another flag or flags the place
of the Flag of the United States is on
the right, that is, the flag’s own right,
or when there is a line of other flags,
the Flag of the United States may be
in front of the centre of that line.
3. When displayed with another
flag, against a wall from crossed
staffs, the Flag of the United States
should be on the right, the flag’s own
right, and its staff should be in front
of the staff of the other flag.
4, When a number of flags are
grotiped and displayed from staffs the
Flag of the United States should be
in the center or at the highest point
of the group.
5. When flags of States or cities
or pennants of societies are flown on
the same halyard with the Flag of
the United States the Flag of the
United States must always be at the
peak. When flown from adjacent
staffs the Flag of the United States
should be hoisted first. No flag or
pennant should be placed above or to
the right of the Flag of the United |
States.
6. When the flags of two or more
nations are to be displayed they
should be flown from separate staffs
of the same height and the flags
should be of equal size. Internation-
al usage forbids the display of the
flag of one nation above that of any
og in time of peace.
a staff projecting horizontally or at
an angle from a window sill, balcony
or front of building the union of the
flag should go clear to the head of the
staff unless the flag is at half-mast.
8. When the Flag of the United |
States is displayed other than flown
from a staff, it should be displayed
flat, whether indoors or out, When
displayed either horizontally or ver-
tically against a wall, the union
should be uppermost and to the flag’s
right, that is, to the observer’s left. |
When displayed in a window it should
be displayed the same way, that is,
with the union or blue field to the left
of the observer in the street. When
festoons or drapings of blue, white
and red are desired, bunting should
be used, but never the flag.
9.. When displayed over the middle
of the street as between buildings,
the Flag of’the United States should ,
be suspended vertically with the un-'
ion to the north in an east and west |
Coffee is “Servant of Mankind”
When the flag is displayed from
street or to the east in a north and
south street.
10. When used on a speaker’s
platform the flag should be displayed
above and behind the speaker. It
should never be used to cover the
speaker’s desk nor drape over the
front of the platform.
right.
11. When used in unveiling a stat-
ue or monument the flag should not
be allowed to fall to the ground but
should be carried aloft to wave out,
forming a distinctive feature during
the remainder of the ceremony.
12. When flown to half-staff the
flag is first hoisted briskly to the peak
and then lowered to the half-staff po-
sition, but before lowering the flag
for the day it is raised again to the
peak. On Memorial day, May 30th,
the flag is displayed at half-staff
from sunrise until noon and at full
staff from noon until sunset for the
Nation lives and the flag is the sym-
bol of the living Nation.
13. When used to cover a casket
the flag should be placed so that the
union is at the head and over the left
shoulder. The flag should not be low-
ered into the grave nor allowed to
touch the ground. The casket should
be carried foot first. ; ,
14. When the flag is displayed in
church it should be from a staff
placed on the congregations right as
they face the clergyman with the
service flug, State flag or other flags
on the left wall. If in the chancel the
Flag of the United States should be
placed on the clergyman’s right as he
faces the congregation.
15. When the flag is in such a con-
dition that it is no longer a fitting
cast aside or used in any way that
might be viewed as disrespectful to
the National colors but should be de-
blem representing our country.

MOVIES COMING
SAYS SCIENTIST.
London.—Ten years from now, per-
haps years before that, people may
sit in a hall in London and watch the
inauguration of a new President in
Washington, or folks in Washington
or New York may assemble and wit-
ness on the motion picture screen the
coronation of an English King simul-
taneously with the progress of the
ceremony.
That is just one of the wonders of
television which Dr. Fournier D’Albe,
noted British scientist and inventor,
is willing to stake his professional
reputation will be as common in the
next decade as broadcasting by wire-
less has become in the present day.
Television, he predicts, will make it
possible to display on a screen thous-
RADIO SOON,
pen in any part of the globe.
“Within five to ten years from
now,” Dr. D’Albe declared, “it is high-
ly probable that we shall be able to
sit in a hall in London and actually
watch the Derby or the Varsity boat
race, or a naval review or a prize
fight in America; or, for that matter,
a battle. I mean watch a moving pic-
ture of any of these things on the
screen at the moment they are hap-
pening.
“Then, perhaps a little later, will
come exploration pictures. Explor-
ers will carry television cameras with
them. They will climb Mount Ever-
ett, or penetrate to the North Pole, or
stalk big game in Central Africa, or
examine the floor of the ocean in sub-
marines, and we—sitting in ordinary
picture theatres hundreds or perhaps
thousands of miles away—will accom-
pany them step by step so far as vis-
ion goes.”
Dr. D’Albe, who is the inventor of
the optophone, which enables the
blind to read through their ears, and
of the tonoscope, which renders speech
legible to the deaf, is convinced that
television will be accomplished dur-
ing 1924. Early developments may
be crude, he admits, but the fact of
television—which means seeing by
wireless—will be established.
“As we know that wireless waves
can be relayed almost indefinitely I
seen no reason why in ten years’ time
we should not be able to see what is
happening on the other side of the
globe,” Dr. D’Albe continued. “It is
only a matter of effort in research,
and if the public interest is there the
effort will be there.”
The advent of television has been
brought appreciably nearer, according
to Dr. D’Albe, by the progress made
in the development of wireless receiv-
ing sets. The chief asset of the prob-
lem, he asserted, is not the sending,
‘but the receiving of the wireless
waves necessary to instantaneous pho-
tographic reproduction of distant
events. Dr. D’Albe estimates that it
is necessary to send 200,000 wireless
signals per second in order to repro-
duce a good wireless picture. “The
trouble begins,” he said, “when you
try to disentangle these signals as
they pour in at the receiving end.
“Many methods have been devised,
but up until quite recently all were
clumsy or costly. Simplification there
* must be, and simplification is proceed-
{ing at a very great pace.
| “Remember every successive pic-
ture has to be completed in one-twen-
| tieth of a second. This means that
the synchronization of sender and re-
ceiver must be perfect. If the feeler,
or tract, at one end is a thousandth
of a second out in following the move-
ments at the other end the conse-
| quences to the picture are fatal.
Despite the difficulties presented in
working out so elaborate a problem
Dr. D’Albe is certain it will be accom-
plished within the next few months.
He refused to predict that he would
be the one to do it, declaring that
“there are many competitors and the
race is keen.”
Bread for sandwiches should be cut
in even slices, a quarter of an inch
thick, and always cream the butter to
be used, so as not to crumble the
bread when spreading.

“Coffee if properly prepared has
a remarkable stimulating and fa-
tigue relieving effect due to the
action of the caffein which acts on
the central nervous system. It
promotes heart action, mildly in-
creases the power to do muscular
work and increases the power of
concentration of mental effort, and
therefore is an aid to sustained
brain work. It has no depressing
after effect. It is not habit form-
ing and does not require continu-
ally increasing quantities to give
satisfactory stimulation.”

The habit of looking at the best side of

| pounds a year.—Dr. Johnson.
| It is reported that the Chinese in-
‘ fluence is strongly evidenced in the
| new colors being developed for spring,
| 1924, fashions.
{| Already are there being shown
i blouses of the tuck-in-at-the-waist va-
riety. The first of these old-time fa-
vorites will undoubtedly be much
| worn at the winter resorts in the
{ Southland.
{ The circular handkerchief edged
with 1&ce, or footing, and delicately
| embroidered as a further embellish-
! ment, is a holiday novelty already
| seen.
|
| i
| Square and oblong veils of the dec-
! orative order are much in vogue; rib-
| bonized or floss embroidery is the ac-
| cepted mode of trimming, and two-
| color effects as well as single-color
! veils are in good style.
i The shops report the constantly in-
; creasing vogue of neckwear, and by
! spring, when new tailor-made suits
rand dresses make their appearance,
ithe neckwear vogue will surely be
i well established.
Silk or chiffon evening scarfs edged
with ostrich of matching color serve
as lovely accessories for evening and
dance frocks.
Knitted fabrics in wool and in silk
are so varied and beautiful in color,
design and texture that an entire
wardrobe made of these interesting
materials is a possible and desirable
achievement.
Cube and melon shaped beads in
imitation of Chinese antique are
stressed in necklaces, both long and of
the choker variety. Beads of carved
wood combined with galalith beads
are used for long costume chains.
Crystal, imitation jade, rock amber in
a pleasing selection of colors are used
for both the waist-length and the
choker chains. Ear rings to match
these various chains are considered
necessary to complete the costume.
It is very chie, for the moment, to
match the color of your fur with shoes
and gloves. If your costume is green
with gray fur, gloves and shoes are
gray; but, then, the hat should be
black. In the recherche for ensemble
| effects, in all-dipped-in-the-same-vat
| effect must, just the same, be avoided.
Tins and indeed all metal cooking
' utensils should be laid out to dry for
| a while before putting away; and, by
| the way, even the most careful of
| cooks is apt to neglect her pot lids,
yet these get caked and dusty just as
do the pots to which they belong.
A pot once burned on the bottom is
‘prone to let its contents stick and
{burn again. Preserving kettles, for
‘instance, even with their enamel in-
i teriors, should be carefully watched
for the mischief once done, subse-
quent preserves may burn at any
| time.
Enamel utensils are pretty and
clean looking, but they are spoiled if
chipped or scratched, for not only do
they stain, but they crack and. break
off if hard used. They should not be
washed with soda nor should alumi-
num pans.

AL
viser of the Pennsylvania Department
of Agriculture.
“It is a balanced food, containing
the correct proportion of protein and
energy. It is a very digestible food
and the fat in milk is the easiest di-
gested fat in all the dietary of many.
It is rich in the needed minerals read-
ily assimilable. For real complete
nourishment there is no food like it.
Biers is no waste as it is all digesti-
e.
“Milk is the cheapest food on the
market when we consider all the nu-
trients contained. A quart of 5 per
cent. milk is worth as much as four-
teen ounces of the best beef. The
beef costs 30 cents and the milk less
than half as much and why not use
the milk ?
its and now is a good time to quit
them. Many dishes are served with
a sugar sauce or brandy sauce so call-
ed that would be much more palatable
served with whole milk and a very lit-
tle sugar. Milk as a sauce adds a
complete food while sugar sauce gives
nothing but energy.
“We must get over the idea that
milk is a beverage only. It is an un-
surpassed beverage we admit, but it
is a most valuable food and must be
considered as such.
“Learn once for all the real truth
that when milk sours, it is not spoiled
for food, but is improved. Sour milk
is one of the best tonics. Thousands
think highly of buttermilk, and sour
milk is the same with the butterfat
incorporated with it.
“As the professional cooks and
cook books increased, the proportion
of milk consumption decreased and
furthermore at the same time and in
the same proportion the doctors in-
creased. I am not a centenarian, but
I well remember when practically
everybody made one meal of the day
on some form of baked or cooked corn
meal with an abundance of whole miik
and a little sugar.
“I also know that at that time we
had one doctor, physician they call
him now, to cover a radius of ten
miles and the poor fellow could hard-
ly make a living because there was no
one sick except when some epidemic
like mumps or other infantile trouble
struck the country.
“Do you know that there is Life in
milk? What is life? It is that which
the Creator gives us and no man has
defined it. But the scientific man has
found life or the life principle in milk
and he calls it vitamines. Vitamines
are absolutely essential to the healthy
body and by no food can you get this
element in so perfect a form and con-
dition as in whole milk. Does that
explain why we now need and furnish
a living and fortune to retire on to six
doctors in a territory where one near-
ly starved for want of patients?
“If you eat and drink more milk you
will be healthier and stronger and
sweeter tempered.”
