A luillar condition is reported from other parti of the country This rueans a heavy incnaae In child labor. It nieam alao an alarming Increase In the number of withdraw al from the nubile scboola of boya and alrla whose education la far from complete and who will prob ably never return to school. All this come at a time when It Is more clearly recoKiilied than ever before that better education of the nation's youth Is needed, and when proof nas been so well eslabllnhed that the child In Industry la out of place, do ing himself, the Industry which em ploys him and the whole community Iiiatlnc Injury. If this tremendous increase In child labor Is not checked soon It will mean a return to unfor tunate child labor conditions whlrh many cilliens hoped were elimin ated forever. There may be one beneficial result, however. The Maryland beard of labor and atatla tlca has auirreated the calling of a conference of representatives of the state labor bureaus of the whole country for Immediate considera tion of this problem.

VKi:il,i:SH LAW.N'H. Enter the weedleas lawn, clean an! smooth an rrlvety. T':e Maude) lilnml state college experi ment station bos Issued a atatebieul which brings hope and joy to luwn makera everywhere. No longer will It be necessary for lawn-enlhusiauU to dig up plantains and dandelions and their host of weed companion.! by the rnnta In oruVr to exterminate them. Weeds and grass thrive on the same foods, so that when a gar dener supplies his grusa with the necessary nitrogenous plant-fond his weeds flourished along with the tender grasa. Kventunlly the weeds crowded the less sturdy gross clear off the place unless the back-breaking work of extermination waa car ried on continually and the weeds dug out aa fust as they appeared. The new way la much more simple, although It requires a few years In bring about the desired result. Says the statement of the experiment elation: "Uardenera have almost universally advised supplying nitro gen, the chief element In the plant food of grass. In the form of nitrate of aoda. Thla gradually tends to create an alkaline condition of the aoll which la especially favorable lo I lie growth of wueds. Soon the grass Is crowded nut and the lawn litia an uneven appearance. iiy using am nioniism sulphate, whlrh Is not more expensive. In the same quantities as the nitrate of aoda. the required amount or nitrogen Is furnished and the aoll kept In the arid condition under which the grasa develops best, but the weeds are so weakened that they are crowded out." The experi menting nas neen going nn over a period of JO years. Kverv alletiint to Improve the aoll proved equally nenenriai to weeds and grass. Invar luhly crowding out the latter. Then ammonium sulphate reversed the n- aulla. without any other care such aa digging nut the weeds-the weeds alowly weakened, died anil disappeared entirely, until todav the tested plot atanda as an example of wnai the nnest lawns can be. The flag of our country la a sym bol. It how we aland united, have stood united, and will atand united alwaya. It has aevernl well known names, four being, "Old Olory" "The Star Spam-ltd Hanner." "The Red. White aud Hlue" and "Stars and Htrlpea." There are three parte to the flag. They are the itrlpes of red aud white which show the first union of the flrat thirteen colonlea; ana me n. ld of blue. Each etar In the fl-ld of blue represents a atale, and the Held of hlue represent! tue present union. The first thirteen stara rep resent the first thirteen colonies, as follows: New llampsnire, Massarnus- setta, Rhode Inland, t onnenicut, New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania Delaware, .Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Geor gia. Oregon'a star is the thlrty-firth or the first alar In the fifth row. Betsy Moss auggeated the five pointed star, the one we have today, because" said she, "It being the sign of Infinity or unlimited power." The stars are placed with one point up ward, pointing to the top or the flag. The colors of the flag are red. whlto and blue. The red atanda for rourage: the white atanda for hope. Purity and truth and tha blue stands for loyalty, sincerity and Justice. The early ICuglUh colonies used he "I'nlon Jack," of Kngland. The Hrst flap; used after the Revolution 1th th "I nlon Jack in the corner.
