Matthew 12:30. The Flag a Formula? une nuiuireu ana lorty-eignt years ago "Via Ulory" was adopted by the Continental congress as the emblem of freedom for the thirteen united colonies in their effort to senerate from old world tyranny and establish a new govern ment dedicated to liberty and the rights of man. Since then its constellation of thirteen stars has grown to forty-eight, and the nation, sprawling across a continent and its distant lands, ranks as the mightiest on the globe. After all these years in which the "Stars and Stripes" has been the emblem of the nation and the symbol of liberty to to the oppressed of the world, in which it has led our troops in the campaigns of six wars at home and abroad, it has suddenly been found necessary to establish a flag code, to define proper manner for its display and pass regulatory laws providing penalties for violation. Some "sixty-eight great patriotic organizations" at recent national flag conferences have drafted some sixteen rules, based upon the fundamentals of the obsolete heraldry of feudalism, instructing patriots in the angles and positions, the hours and the occasions, the flag should be displayed, saluted, etc., etc., along with some sixteen cautions or don'ts upon its treatment. Upon this foundation, numerous state statutes and city ordinances have been enacted to enforce the code. So Old Glory has fallen victim to the modern mania of statutory folly for regulating everything and everybody under the sun. Mass uniformity must govern patriotism. It must be standardized and systemiti.ed. The Stars and Stripes must bo displayed according to rule and patriotic ferver and have a perfectly proper etiquette or it functions illegally, and will be suppressed by the stern arm of bureaucracy. The star-spangled banner, will not hereafter be permitted to wave even in triumph, unless it waves according to code in the land of the free and the home of the brave. When it comes necessary, in the course of national affairs, to reduce patriotism, as symbolized by the flag, to formula, to conventionalize it, it may fairly be considered to have become decadent. Tribute is not then paid the flag as the emblem of the nation, the symbol of liberty, but as a thing in itself. As the code says "the flag must be considered in .itself as a living thing." The form has supplanted the spirit, the material the ideal. IWipion offers similar illustrations of decadence. Idols originally were only symbols of the spirits that in the mind of primitive man, ruled the universe. But conventionalized, tlio svmliolic character gradually was lost and the images eventually worshipped as living gods. Codes in the form of rituals and creeds replaced ideality and spirituality with formula, and gradually supplanted even the graven images, obscuring the gospel they interpreted. Perhaps however, there is method in the flag code mad nu. Mm "sixfv-eiirht patriotic organizations," realizing that the freedom which the flag originally symbolized had been replaced by the statutory tyranny and bureaucratic despotism of an age of super-regulation, fear that some day the flag would no longer command the love and admiration r o i;i.,. Invim- neonle? Did they therefore resort to a compulsory code of enforced tribute, lest it fall into dis repute? Does this explain the el Ion to mane u.u n..B living thing in itself,'' instead of the symbol of the ideals upon which the republic was builded, to thus preserve the form of patriotism when the spirit shall Have uowm 1 Steamship (iil.) 3 A imui'iu ft Sitinc 8 AitiiiijioiI slrle by Bide 10 (Vcoi-kIii (lib.) 1 1 Wuls nidi dew 111 Make a niisUiku I I Finals nloll 10 A heavy tread IS Incorporated (ab.) :!0 Succor 2'Z Icpart 2'A Attack 25 Past tcllsc verb "to be" 2t!

' v u1 si T1 73 Copyright 1931 George ftlotthew Adanu "You'll probably have to wait for weeks to get accommodations, tho man told me. "Everybody's going homo now; every stateroom is booked In advance. I didn't tell Bill that. I told him I'd got a cabin, and everything was all rlsnt. I was in such a hurry to rush back home and begin proceedings to win my freedom that I wouhid't let anything atop me. Bill and Nathalie and Dick went over to Nassau with me the next afternoon; there was a small boat that was to take the passengers out to the big liner that was an chored some distance out. It was just twilight when at last we were well out, and then went to the side of the boat where I could see the liner. My eyes were filled with tears. I hated to leave tho enchanted bit of the tropics where I had found Bill, and happiness. I told my self that I'd always been a shallow flirt, that I'd married Jim without knowing whether I really loved him or whether It was Just fasci nation that was leading me into the marriage. But now I really was In love. I felt like a different person. I stood there looking at the ship that was to carry me back to New York, and wished that I could fly In stead of having to spend three days at sea. As it grew darker lights went on all over the ship; It was a gorgeous thing to look at as It lay there at anchor, waiting for us. But I had to stop being roman tic and decide what I was to do when I boarded the ship, without a ticket, a stowaway. I knew that every inch of space was taken. What would they do with me? Anyway, they couldn't make me get off and walk back! That wa .some consolation! People all about me were chat tering gaily. Many of them were laden with tropical fruit and beau tifnlly woven baskets that they were taking home with them. Sud denly I felt very much alone; If it hadn't been for my hopes of the future I'd have felt very sorry for myself. When we reached the liner and were safely aboard I found a steam er chair that was off in a corner by itself, and curled up there, hop ing that nobody would notice me. Everybody else was rushing around, finding their staterooms and getting settled. Never before had a stateroom seemed so desir able to me! When we had been out for an hour I went to the purser. "I haven't any room,"' I told him, "and I haven't any tlcet. But I've got to get back to New York. What shall I do?" He looked at me in dismay. "You mean that you're a stow away?" he demanded. I nodded my head. "That's exactly what I am," I told him. "But I've got money enough to pay for a ticket home." He slumped down in his chair hoplcssly. 'That doesn't make much differ ence," he said. "I'd give you my room, but I've already given that to someone else. The captain's given up his room, too, and so have most of the other officers. I could give you u room in tne third class quarters, but we're carrying a load of sugar cane, and I don't believe you could stand it down there; the odor of the sugar and tho cIolo quarters, and all that " "Why not let me sleep on deck, in a steamer chair?" I asked. I'd love It. It would be a great lark. Truly, I'd Juat as soon do it as tut. All the baggage I've got is an over night bag and I can tuck that away Just anywhere. "Well, I'll see what can be done," lie. answered. "We'll have to assign you to a room somewhere, but you needn't use It If you don't want to." Later he took me to the only va cant berth on the ship, away down in the hold, in a room with five other women. Ono of them waa .snoring. I just couldn't stand it there. I waited till he'd gone, and then I stole back up on deck, got some steamer rugs and pillows) from the deck steward, and made nijvtelf perfectly comfortable. I wasn't at all sleepy. I Just wanted to lie there to think about Bill, and plan how happy we'd ba when I was married to him. It never occurred to mo that perhaps Jim wouldn't be willing Lo let me divorce him. I got up early tho next morning, before there was anyone arouud, used one of the stewardess's rooms to bathe and change my clothes in, and was out on deck again. I had breakfast early, and was taking a constitutional on deck when the captain came up to me. lie looked awfully cross. I shoot in my shoes. "So you're our stowaway," ha said gruffly. "Well, what shall I do? Put you in chains?" I don't care what you do with me, so long as you let me stay on board." I told him. "I've got to get back to New York." Don't you know that you'll get me Into serious trouble?" he said. "I suppose you didn't think ot that." He grumbled on for a while, but finally went off and left me alone. I curled up in my steamer chair again, alone with my dreams. Monday Home Again. JOURNAL WANT AOS PAY BRINGING- UP FATHER By George MrMnnus Cxx I'LL Cive. vou A.
