TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE

BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
lie that is not with me is atjuiimt me; and he that gather

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

"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.
