BIRTHDAY OF THE STABS AND STRIDES. V
Flag Day, celebrated in commemoration of the act of Congress
adopting the red, white and blue as the national emblem, is being
enthusiastically observed all over the land today.
With America! playing a leading role in the world war for freedom
and democracy;! with hundreds of thousands of American boys bat
tling across the seas under the starry folds of "Old Glory," the
birthday anniversary of the American flog has never possessed a
deeper and more profound significance than it does today.
. That is why flags are fluttering .oday from public and private
flagstaffs, in every nook and corner of the United States and in the
American possessions beyond the seas.
-In the national capital the day is being observed as never before
since the custom of celebrating Flag Day was first instituted.
1 Pennsylvania avenue and other prominent thoroughfares are lit
erally covered with the national colors.
In every direction, and in the most out of the way places the eye
is greeted by the red,white and blue. . -
Every citizen of the capital, from the President down to the humb
lest, will appear with a miniature flag in his buttonhole.
The flag is 141 years old today,
f It was on this date, in 1777, that the Continental Congress resolved,
"That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stars, white
In a blue field, representing a new constellation.'
, Though the original desig n has been altered the alteration repre
sents only the growth of the institutions for which the flag stands.
, 'The colonies had flags before they adopted the real banner of
freedom. I ;- -
I At the commencement of the Revolution nearly all of the colonies1
lent their troops into the field under their individual banners.
At the siege of Boston General Israel Putnam raised a flag on
- iPfbspect Hill,5 Somerville, 'Jan 1, 1776. It bore the red cross of
St George and a white saltire of St. Andrew on a blue union. Then
there was the celebrated Pine Tree flag on a white field with the
words, "An Appeal to Heaven. And there were a number of others
during the early period of the war or .independence,
"There has long been a dispute as to whV originated the design of
the Stars and Stripes. George Washington and Benjamin Franklin
approved the design and Betsy Ross, wife of John Ross, an upholster
er, living in Arch street Philadelphia, made the one which the Con
tinental Congress adopted, and it is the same flag today except that
a star has been added as often as a new state has been admitted into
the Union. ..);'' ...
The new flag was first carried abroad by the redoubtable Paul
Jones. - - -
; By error this flag had but twelve stars, but the man whom the
British dubbed " pirate, rebel, robber,' proudly informed Congress
that the emblem at the peak of his warshipt the "Ranger," wa
received with the most marked courtesies by the French, whose form
al recognition of the new flag constituted the French acknowledge
ment of the American republic
From the time of the Revolution, the Stars and Stripes have varied,
though the general design has remained the same. There were thir
teen stars during the Revolution, fifteen in the war of 1812, twenty
nine in the Mexican War, thirty-three-thirty-five in the war between
the States, forty-five in the war with Spain, and forty-eight today.
The Stripes were-changed first from thirteen to fifteen, and then
back to thirteen. r
It may be surprising to know that the American flag, in point of
seniority, antedates virtually all of the flags now flying on the Eu
ropean battlefields, i It is older than the present British Jack arid
the French Tricolor; and many years blder than the flags of Italy
and Germany. . j I
It has been well said that our national emblem stands for American
ideals and ideas it is not the flag; of a family or a house, but the
flae of the whole people. It is the! emblem of liberty and freedom.
being indicative of individual independence and yet symbolic of!
united and closely bonded people. ,: !

frequency of typographical errors in

mixed In headlines and news stories.

This is a sign of the age.
Once upon a time, as the old story
books would say, 91.000,000,000

notice and was carefully verified.
Now it is so common that it fails

The
A Wonderful Ronanct
A BREAKFAST DELATED
If anybody wishes an infallible re
cipe for taking the romance oat of
life, I can recommend washing; a pile
of dishes which have been left over
from the day before, especially If
there be among; them a n amber of
rreasy pots and pans. Restering
order to a badly clattered room is
another glamour destroyer, but the
first prize. I stoutly affirm, goes to
the dishes.
An especially aggravating collect
ion of romance shatterers awaited
me the morning after our visit to
the theatre, and my first encounter
with Lillian Gale.
The night before, when Dicky had
gone away from the apartment In
anger after our quarrel over the
Angora. I had sat brooding instead of
doing up my dinner work. Then when
he had rushed In with the theatre
tickets there had been no time to
do more than hastily cover the food.
The dining table still held the un
eaten dessert, while the kitchen was
unspeakably dreary with Its pile of
solid dishes. As we rented a furn
ished apartment, the kitchen equip
ment was the rather scanty one that
goes with such places. I had not
yet added to It. and I found myself
unable to get breakfast nntil I had
washed the cooking utensils frqra the
night before.
Dicky likes a hearty breakfast,
too. I cannot give him coffee and
fruit, my morning, meal the year
round. He Is a healthy animal, for
which I am thankful, but I could have
wished him less ravenous upon this
particular morning.
I slipped out of bed early, mind
ful of Dicky's wish to get to the
studio as soon as possible, tubbed and
dressed rapidly, and had Just pat
the teakettle on the gas stove when
Dicky appeared at the door.
"Isn't breakfast ready?" Ills tone
was injured.
"Ready!" My intonation matched
his. "Of coarse It's not ready. I
went to the theatre last night, you
may remember. Instead of doing the
dinner work, and then yen Insisted
upon a chafing dish lunch after we
got home, which added to the con
fusion here. Just look at this kitch
en! If I can get breakfast ready in
less than an hour 111 be locky."
"An hour!" Dicky's tone was
tragic. "With my head all full or
that cover, and my hands Itching to
get at those sketches before I forget
how these people looked, you ask
me to cool my heels for an hour! I
can't do It. that's all. Never mind
breakfast for me. I'll get something
at that hash house near the studio.
Stuff Isn't half bad. It you dont
have to go agalnit it more than once
a month."

properly Impressed by this speech and
have evinced deep sympathy for the
prospective victim of hash house
food. Dicky's tone was plaintive and
resigned., aa If. determined to be a
martyr, he would do the job
thoroughly.
But I know that the hash house
was not his only resource. On his
way to the studio he had to pass a
very excellent little restaurant which
made a specialty ot breakfasts.
There really was no reason In the
world why he should not get a meal
there, when things were so upset at
the apartment. I saw Dicky was a
spoiled child, and that he expected
hia wife to do a flying leap every
time he happened to be la a hurry,
regardless of whether It was con
venient or necessary or not. I re
solved to do a little husband train
ing for my future comfort.
"I think that is a moat excellent
Idea." I said cordially. Then I
can get this place cleared up la time
to get you a nice luncheon. But
you know you do not need to go to
