UNCLE SAM'S
NEWBANNER.
National Emblem of 1907 Has
Gone Out of Fashion.
NEW STATES RESPONSIBLE.
Addition of Arizona and New Mexico
to Union Causes Rearrangement of
the Stars In an Even Block Change
Effective July 4.
July 4. WV2, will bo recorded as
nieiouriible In that ft new American
flag wqs born on that day. The rear
rangement of the stars of the national
banner is duo to the recent admission
Into the Union of Arizona and New
Mexico as states. The addition of the
two stars representing the former ter
ritories is an advantage so far as ap
pearance Is concerned because the Ir
regular lines of stars In the dying flag,
forty-six in number, are replaced by
an even block of stars, eight in each
of the six lines.
The date of the change In the Hag Is
in accordance with a custom of long
standing, which provides that when
ever Uncle Sam introduces his made
over emblem such Introduction shall
occur on the Fourth of July, the anni
versary of the independence of the
thirteen original colonics. Tho work
of fashioning tho new flag has been
going on for weeks, and the forty
eight star banner will fly at army
posts, government buildings, aboard
ships of the nation, at American lega
tions and consulates and elsewhere.
The rearrangement is made by re
moving the two short rows of stars of
the old flag. In thlrty-nlno states it is
obligatory that the American flag be
flown from the public schools, and
these flags have been remodeled or
new ones purchased by reason of the
admission of the two new states. That
tho flags now used by most of the
public schools could be remodeled and
the expense of new flags obviated is
due to tlie fact that they had tho white
stars sewed on the blue ground so that
the stars could be taken off, the two
extra stars added and again sewed on.
No Rule on Proportions.
In all nations except the United
States the size of the flag of tho coun
try is regulated by executive decision,
and the absence of such a ruling as
applying to the United States caused
the general supply committee of all
federal departments to complain and
ask that a uniform proportion be es
tablished. The protest resulted in the
appointment of n commission on uni
formity, which submitted its report to
tho president.
In view of the fact that a president
of the United States has never ruled
what shall be tho proportions of the
flag, tho various departments have
reached an understanding in the mat
ter whereby each department stipu
lates the proportions it desires the flag
to be made when tho order Is placed.
Tho standard navy flag Is nineteen
feet long and ten feet wide. The war
department post flag is a foot longer
and the same width, and tho garrison
flag of the army Is thirty-six feet long
and twenty feet wide. The big garri
son flag has thirteen stripes, and on
,tho upper quarter, next to tho staff,
is the field of stars representing the
number of states on a blue field over
one-third tho length of the flag. The
storm flag Is 20 feet by 10 feot and the
recruiting flag 0 feet 9 Inches by 4
feet 4 inches.
When the revenue marine service
flag was adopted by congress In 1709
there were sixteen states, and tho flag
as officially designed had sixteen per
pendicular stripes, alternate red nnd
white, tho union of tho ensign bearing
the arms of the United States In dark
blue on a white field. No change has
been made in tills flag since the time
of its adoption.
The "American Jack" is the "union"
or blue fleld of tho flag.
A New Flag Suggested.
Iteprcsentative Timothy T. Ansber
ry of Ohio recently introduced a bill
in congress proposing a revolution In
tho present style of arranging the stars
of the national Hag. The measure pro
vides that the stars shall be placed In
five arcs, these to be extended with
new stars at the ends upon the admis
sion of new states. Ills argument is
that the next alteration of the national
banner will upset the solid block of
stars in tho Hag born this Fourth of
July, probably making it necessary to
place tho stars In seven lines of seven
stars each, aud this combination would
be spoiled when tho fiftieth state comes
into the Union.
The new national Hag of 1012 suc
ceeds that of July 4, 1007, which made
its appearance with forty-six stars, the
forty-sixth star being in honor of the
admission of Oklahoma into the Union.
The offlelal flags of tho United States
aro not ma da of silk, as so many per
sons believe, but instead of bunting.
A flag made of silk or cotton would
bo like a string when exposed to rain,
while a Hag of wool withstands tho
wet better than any other material
that could Ikj used for tho purpose.
Takes Rank as Paris Dandy.
Tho honor of being the chief dandy
in Tarls has Just been transferred to
the playwright Ilcnry Bernstein.
Through an Indiscretion on tho part of
his valet men about town ha-ro learned
with awe that M. Bernstein Ib the pos
sessor of 147 pairs of trousers, to
which a large separato room has been
assigned.
ELEVEN WILL TRY FOR
THE EDWIN GOULD PRIZE.
$15,000 For Aeroplane With Best Two
or More Complete and Separate Drive.
Edwin Gould, through the Scientific
American, Imb offered a prize of ?15,
000 "for the most perfect and practical
heavier than clr machine designed and
Usmoustrated in thta country and
equipped with two or more complete
power plants (separato motors nnd pro
pellers) so connected that nny power
plant may be operated Independently
or that they may ho used together."
Many of the fatal accidents In nvln
tlon have been traced to tho pilot's de
pendence upon n single motor and pro
peller. When his propeller breaks or
bis motor balks the machine must
plunge down, unless ho is able to glide.
The competition for this prize will be
held July 4 on Long Island. The com
mittee of award will consist of a mem
ber of the Scientific American staff, a
member of the Aero Club of America
fid a representative of some technical
fnstltute.

HE FOUND NO CANCER CURE.
L. M. Early, Who Offered $1,000,000,
Dies a Victim of X Ray,
Dr. L. M. Early of Columbus, O.,
died recently from cancer. Ho hail
vainly offered 51,000,000 for n cure.
When Boentgen discovered tho X
ray Dr. Early began experiments with
it. ne used it in the treatment of cnu
cer. But X ray machines at. that time
did not afford tho operator sufficient
protection. Tho X ray which ho was
using to treat cancer caused him to
have cancer, which it could not cure.
While still experimenting with the
X ray Dr. Early discovered how to
make a now photographic paper and
sold the formula for a sum said to be
$3,000,000.
The cancer first manifested itself on
Dr. Early's hand. His Angers, then his
hand, and finally his arm wero remov
ed. Tho disease was nrrested, but not
eradicated.
NO FLAG ABOVE OLD GLORY.
Mr. Heyburn Offers Two Resolutions
In the Senate.
That no flag, banner or emblem
should bo officially permitted to wave
above tho stars aud stripes is tho con
tention of Senator Heyburn. no un
derstands that on forts and battle
ships other ensigns are often elevated
atovo tho national colors.
To ascertain tho nctual facts Mr.
Heyburn offered two resolutions, which
were adopted by tho senate. Ouo is
addressed to the secretary of tho navy
and the other to the secretary of war.
Each calls for the real situation con
corning this matter in the army and
navy.
In tho opinion of Mr. Heyburn, there
should be legislation, if necessary, to
prevent any official of the government
from displaying any emblem, flag or
banner above Old Glory-

ESPERANTISTSTO
HOLD CONVENTION
25 Years Since Dr. Zamenhof
Gave New Language to World,
PLANS FOR CONVENTIONS.
American and European Associations
Are to Fraternixe What the People
Are Doing With It Translations of
the Standard Works.
It is twenty-five years since Dr. Zn
menhof gave Esperanto to the world.
Espernntlsts nre going to celebrate tho
anniversary by special convputlous.
They aro also looking around to see
what progress tho language has made.
In January, 1008, there wero 753 Es
cranto societies throughout the world;
In Mny, 1010, more than 1,700. Tho
number Is understood to have increas
ed since then. More than 120 maga
zines arc printed In Esperanto. A
book department in Amerlkn Esiwran
tlsto, the organ of the Esperanto As
sociation of North America, lists elev
en textbooks, six dictionaries and un
der "General Literature" 108 titles.
The book titles generally look familiar,
as, for Instance, "Allclo en Mlrlando"
(Carroll); "Dr. Jekyll knj Sro. Hyde"
(Stevenson) and "Hamleto, Begldo do
Danujo" (Shakespeare). Books In Es
peranto are found in leading libraries.
This will bo a summer of Esperanto
conventions. Tho American associa
tion has accepted an invitation of tho
New England Esperanto association
nnd tho Boston Esperanto society to
hold its convention In Boston In July.
Those in attendance at tho meeting
who nre nble to do so will sail from
Charlcstown on July 13, bound for tho
eighth International Esperanto con
gress at Cracow, Poland. The Itiner
ary of this personally conducted party,
called tho Nordamerlka Knravano, will
Include the Azores nnd the Mediter
ranean ports and thence extend ncross
Austria. It will have experienced con
ductors, "who, being Esperantists,
will bo able to arrange with local
'samldennoj' to show tho members of
the party more Intimately Interesting
things and far more expeditiously than
Is possible for the ordinary tourist con
ductor." Its Profitable Uses.
Just what aro people doing with this
language? This question is answered
suggestively by data which the presi
dent of tho Boston society has col
lected through reply postcards. "Prof,
itable uses of Esperanto In various
parts of Europe," nre nsserted. A Rot
terdam correspondent, for example,
writes:
"Wo havo found Esperanto really
profitable Many Esperantists come
to my hotel, nnd I do much propaganda
work by means of tho International
language. When I noed addresses in a
foreign land for a commercial article
I'm able to write for thorn in Esperan
to and get the information."
Again from Dresden, under date of
Doc. 22, 1011, a firm notes that through
Esperanto it has secured representa
tives In several foreign countries and
that through an Esperanto prospectus
which was sent to all parts of tho civ
ilized world orders are beginning to
corno in.
Another Dresden houso in replying
incloses an Esperanto circular covering
tho subject of carbonic acid baths.
These circulars, it ts stated, have fre
quently been called for by foreigners.
A Viennese concern asserts that It
has found Esperanto vnluablo in its
International commercial relations.
Through It agents havo been discov
ered in Silesia, Bulgaria and otlier
countries with whoso peoplo it had
been previously difficult to correspond.
"The profit we liave made is yet small,
but worth while," says tho firm.
Of International Value.
At St Illlalre, France, Is a corre
spondent who writes: "Our Esperanto
circular has enabled us to acquire rep
resentatives in u foreign country, and
because of this wo havo mado several
sales, though not importnut ones. Wo
aro convinced, nevertheless, that Es
IKjranto can do a great service to busi
ness if It should Ik more generally
used."
An enthusiast nt Letclnvortli, Eng
land, says that according to his exi i-ri.
ence Esperanto is profitable for mer
chants, particularly for those engaged
In the manufacture of articles that Es
perantists use. In responso to a cir
cular ho received orders from Japan
nnd South America.
Somo European cities Issue guide
leaflets in Esperanto, giving informa
tion about hotels, carriage prices, the
names and addresses of societies, clubs
and libraries, of public stenographers
and manicures and matters of valuo
to tho visitor. A London tourist agen
cy sends out Esperanto circulars.
At Seville, Spain, Esperanto is taught
in four schools. At Charlerolx, Bel
gium, n new courso last winter had
an enrollment of more than 150 stu
dents. Several firms aro "protecting
members" in tho Esperanto society
which is bohind tho Instruction. Ant
werp records upward of 250 students
enrolled in several classes, and tho
archbishop of Mechlin has blessed tho
educationnl work undertaken by tho
International Catholic Esporantlst un
ion. Russia Admits Women to Bar.
Women will bo permitted to practice
law in Russia. Tho duma passed a
bill granting the privilege. 1
SCHOOL LAND TURNED INTO
FARMS TO AID EDUCATION
Novel Method of Meeting Deficit In a
North Carolina County,
Needing more money for their schools
than wns being raised by taxation, the
Inhabitants of Wnko county, N. C
adopted tho commendable expedient
of cultivating tho lnnd surrounding the
schools, the money obtained from the
sale of crops being used for the pur
pose. Seventeen such school farms
wero operated last year. They were
worked by 1,200 persons, men, women
and children, who contributed their la
bor free. The net gain from the enter
prise was almost $1,200.
This new movement to raise addi
tional funds for the country school Is
described by A. C. Monnhan, assistant
In rural education in the United States
bnreau of education, in a monograph
Issued for free distribution by the bu
reau. Mr. Monnhan writes:
"The plan has been called the 'school
farm movement' and comprehends the
establishment of small farms of from
two to ten acres in connection with
every country school. This farm is to
bo cultivated by the children and their
parents, working together on certain
days termed 'school farm working
bees.'
"The 'working bees' aro gatherings
for social purposes, as well as for tho
cultivation of tho school land. Each
school farm Is usually given to one
crop. A regular system of rotation Is
planned. The agricultural work is
done under tho supervision of tho best
farmer in the community, bo that good
methods nre used. Every person, there
fore, taking part Is given tho opportu
nity to observo the most successful
systems of raising the crops under cul
tivation. "The Income received from the sale
of tho products raised on the school
farm is used for general school pur
poses. It Is hoped by this movement
to accomplish three things first, to
make money to be used In supplement
ing the school fund; second, to offer nu
opportunity to make tho teaching of
agriculture In the rural school entirely
practical and to Illustrate how pleasant
farm work can bo made under proper
conditions, and. third, to offer rural
communities opportunities for gather
ings to develop the social side of farm
life, with the schoolhouse the social
center of the community and the prin
cipal occupation of the people farm
ing the center of Interest."
CLUBWOMEN'S NEW HOPES.
General Federation Indorses Retiring
President's Suggestions.
What the clubwomen of tho country
are doing today, what they have done
in tho last four years nnd what they
Intend to do in the future were the
general outlines of the valedictory de
livered by Mrs. Philip North Moore of
St. Louis, retiring president of tho Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs, at
Its eleventh biennial convention in San
Francisco.
"I believe," she said, "that tho Gen
eral federation now Is united as never
before. We have learned to know each
other and to work together wonder
fully well. The new officers will hold
fast to nil that has been good in the
past and give n new outlook on the fu
ture. The great task of this genera
tion is to live down tho generation that
still lags behind tho times."
Among the accomplishments listed,
Mrs. Moore said that tho country at
largo had tho clubwomen to thank for
tho pure food law, tho preservation of
Niagara falls from the greed of power
companies, the passage of the Weeks
bill for the conservation of forest
lands and much legislation looking to
tho welfare of women nnd children.
For tho future she urged that women
address themnelvcs particularly to in
ternational and Industrial pence, regu
lation of the press and the drama, edu
cation, inspection of factories and a
closer watch on natlonnl legislation
nffectlng social nnd civic life. Her
suggestions were ncccpted with enthu
lasm. JULIA CLARKE'S DEATH.
Third Woman to Lose Her Life In an
Aeroplane Accident.
Miss Julia Clarke, who was killed at
Springfield, 111., when her aeroplane

American Woman Makes Paris Gasp.
Tho society sensatlou of tho present
London season has been Mrs. William
B. Leeds, with her wonderful gowns
nod jewels. Tho latter embellishment
of tho youthful widow's beauty caused
nstonlshment, especially when her
wonderful collection of emeralds wns
recently increased. To tho well known
tiara and necklaco of these stones she
lias added a superb stomacher, bought
for $140,000. Tho emeralds In the pos
session of Mrs. Leeds aro estimated by
experts to be worth a good deal over
$1,000,000.
