Thousands of brave men in pre vious wars have.given up their lives to save the colors of their country and their regiment from the enemy's hands. As war. is now conducted it Is no longer piacttcable, as a rule, to carry them Into battle and light un der their folds. But they remain the chief visible signs of the objectß for which every soldier is willing to sac rifice himself. It Is no wonder that the colors are prized and guarded with devoted care. Ordinarily the colors when not in use are kept in the office of the colonel or in front of his tent. Dur ing the day when the weather per mits they are displayed unfurled. At night and during rainy weather they are "cased," which means that they are furled and protected by an oil cloth covering. Officers and men passing an un cased color always honor It by salut ing. The manner of salute is the same as that previously described. The same rules of respect are ob served by men not in formation when the uncased colors are'carried by. The colors are escorted in parades or on the march In campaigns by a color guard, consisting of two ser geants who are the color bearers and two experienced privates selected by the colonel. The regimental color is always on the left of the national color. The National Antlicm Similar rules of respect apply whenever the "Star-Spangled Ban ner" is played. Officers and enlisted men not in formation stand at atten tion, facing toward the music (ex cept at "retreat," when they face toward the flag). They salute at the first note of the anthem, retain ing the position of salute until the last note. Every citizen of tne United States, whether a civilian or a soldier, should give expression of his loyalty and devotion to his country by show ing proper marks of respect for the colors and for the national anthem. When in civilian clothes, wearing a hat or cap, the correct thing to do is to remove it and hold it in the right hand opposite the left shoulder while passing an uncased color or during the playing of the national HARRJSBUFtG TELEGRAPH anthem. If uncovered, stand at at tention. The common habit of rising slowly, standing in u slouching attitude, and sometimes even carrying on conver sation, when the national anthem is played, is an Indication of gross igno rance or ill breeding. On the other hand, the man who stands silent and at attention is not only showing proper respect and setting an ex ample which will have its effect on others, but is also cultivating in him self the feelings of pride and of patriotism which should belong to every citizen of the country. It goes without saying that dis respect to the American Hag can not be tolerated. If any such instances come to your attention, you should report them at once to the proper authorities In order that they may be dealt with in accordance with the law. Seeks to Become First Girl Page of the House Washington, Sept. 12.' With am bitions to become, the first girl page in the House of Representatives, Ce celia Martin, a 14-year-old girl, for merly residing in the Congressional district represented by M.

"I want to see Miss Rankin," stated Cecelia. "I am Miss Rankin," said the woman member. "What can Ido for you?" "I want to shake hands with you first," replied Cecelia, with a business like manner. "Then I want to ask you if I can get a Job as a page in the House. You got a job as the first wo man member and I thought you might be able to get me a Job as the first girl page." Miss Rankin told the girl she did not know what assistance she could render her. but that she was heartily in favor of her appointment and would do all in her power to obtain It for her. Believing that there should be a girl page as well as the boy pages, in the body of which he is a member. Mr. Kelly said: '•I don't see why we shouldn't have a girl page in the House and I shall t ertainly do everything I can to get her the job."

LATEST MEANINGS IN OUR NEW BOOK Fashions Change in Use of English Words as in Coals Men Wear DICTIONARY HAS LATEST Words and Descriptive Mat ter Grouped and Arranged in Departments The words a man speaks are like the coat he wears—fashions change both. Ever since dictionaries were first made words have taken on meanings that changed, until often the definition came to be almost diametrically opposite what it was when the word first came into com mon use. Therefore, the man who uses an old dictionary is likely to employ the word nowadays in a wrong sense. He is like the man who wears a coat of the fashion of 18C0,except that there is some ex -1 cuse for the latter, while there is none for the former. An authorative lexicon is within the reach of all, and to insure its readers of getting the latest and best, this paper has undertaken to dis tribute the Now Universities as wide ly as possible. The cost is insignifi cant compared with the service thus provided—only 98 cents in cash and one dictionary coupon clipped from this paper. For the further conven ience of readers, these coupons and this small fee may be mailed into the office, provided sufficient postage is included to pay for the cost of mail ing the dictionary. These easy condi tions make it possible for everybody to sharo in the distribution. During the years past dictionaries haVe multiplied until their number reaches a bewildering total. As time passes they present definitions that are out of date. Out of this need has grown the New Universities. It compares the most authoritative definitions of all, and includes many featured that are not found in any of the others. An examination will convince the investigator of this fact. The latest meanings in good usage wherever the best English is spoken are given. Leading authorities have combTned their efforts to make this a leader in its class. It is a compact, serviceable volume of some 1,200 pages, well indexed, and its contents are made readily accessible through special subdivis ions. in which groups of words in a certain field or descriptive matter covering a particular subject are given. !
