Right Use of the Flag
It Should Never Be Permitted to Touch the Ground, Nor
Draped as a Decoration
In ihese days when every household should have a flag, and should fly It
'ipoii every occasion offered. Its correct use should be known to all. The
following, from the National Geographic Magazine, tells the proper usage
succinctly:
While (here Is no federal law In force pertaining to the manner of dis
playing, hanging, or saluting the United States flag, or prescribing any cere
monle.'i that should be observed, there are many regulations and usages of
national force bearing on the subject.
"In raising the flag It should never be rolled up and hoisted to the top of
the staff before unfurling. Instead, the fly should be free during the act of
hoisting, which should be done quickly. It should be taken In slowly and
with dignity. It should not be allowed to touch the ground on shore, nor
should It be permitted to trail in the dust. It should not be hung where It
can be contaminated or soiled easily, or draped over chairs or benches for
seating purposes, and no object or emblem of any kind should be placed upon
It or above it.
"A common but regrettable practice at public meetings is to drape the
flag like a tablecloth over the speaker's table and then place on the flag a
pitcher of ice water, flowers, books, etc.
"The flag should not be festooned over doorways or arches. Always
let the flag hang straight Do not tie It in a bow knot. Where colors are
desired for decorative purposes, use red, white and tilue bunting.
"The flag should not be hoisted upside down, other than as a signal of
distress at sea.
"International usage forbids the display of the. flag of one nation above
that of any other with which It is at peace. When the flags of two or more
nations are displayed, they should be on separate staffs, or on separate hal
yards of equal size and on the same level.
"The flag should never be raised or lowered-by any mechanical appliance.
"When tho national colors are passing on parade, or In review, the spec
tator should, if walking, halt, and if sitting arise and stand at attention and
uncover.
"When flags are used in unveiling a statue or monument they should
not be allowed to fall to the ground, but should be carried aloft to wave out,
forming a distinctive feature during the remainder of the ceremony.
"Where the national flag Is displayed with state or other flags, it should
be given the place of honor on the right. 5ts use should be confined as much
ns possible to Its display upon the staff. Where used as a banner, the union
should fly to the porta In streets running east and west, and to the east In
streets running north and south.
"Old, faded, or wornout flags should not be used for banners or other
secondary purposes.
"When no longer fit for display, the flag should be destroyed privately,
preferably by burning or other methods lacking the suggestion of irreverence
or disrespect.
"A flag or an ensign at half-mast Is the universal sign of mourning.
Before being placed at half-mast the flag must always be raised to the stop of
the staff, and before It Is lowered from half-mast it must likewise be hoisted
to the top."
Good Irish Name Helped
Mike Hogan Get a Tryout
With John McGraw's Team
The bird who said there Is nothing
In a name had his signals gummed
up.
There Is quite n bit In some names,
and the case of Mike Hogan of Co
hoes, N. Y., proves it beyond a doubt.
Just before the Giants started for
Marlin and spring training, Mike Ho
gan bounced Into the Giants' offices
and announced that he was ready to go

John McGraw gave him the up and

thought, and utterly failed to remem
ber of ever having heard of him.
"Why, the paper up In Cohoes said
- I 1 AVI A
you wanted to give me a iruu
so here I am.'fcexplnlned Hogan. "I've
been pitching semlpro ball up home,
and I guess you've heard about me.
I'm a machinist by trade."
McGraw hnd never dreamed of Ho-
ean. but ne nsea me yuuosmci
looks, and, most of all, he took a
fancy to the name of Hogan. Mc
Graw would like to surround himself
with Doyles, McCarthys and Hogans,
so he decided to give Mike a cnance,
and Mike went to Marlin.
So there Is something In n name
after all. for Hogan, who had never
played professional ball, is getting his
first tryout in the strongest minor
league In the country, and all because
his name Is Hogan.
The Butter Tree.
A tree, known as the shea, or butter
tree, is beginning to attract commer
cial attention. It supplies not oniy
nuts, but also butter that may become
an article of commercial importance,
says the San Francisco Argonaut. It
is already exported to Europe, where
makers of artificial butter find use for
it. Almost two-thirds of the nut is
vegetable butter. The tree begins to
bear when It is fifteen years old, and
reaches its prime In twenty-five years.
Chocolate manufacturers could easily
utilize the product. It might also be
Of use in making candies and soap.

CARING FOR COUNTRY ROADS
Heavily Loaded Wagons With Narrow
Tires Are Injurious Place Har
rows on a Drag.
(By B. B. HOUSE, Colorado Agricultural
College, Fort Collins, Colo.)
Excessive loads placed on wagons
with narrow tires are exceptionally
bad for any road. Tractors using
wheels upon which are cleats, or any
thing that will cut through or injure
the road surface should never be al
lowed on country roads. Disk har
rows and In fact any cultivating tool
should be kept off the road. If It
Is necessary to move them along the
road, place them upon a drag, stone
boat, or haul them to the field on a
wagon. If dragged over the road.
they will scar the road badly, break
through the surface and start disin
tegration. ' No road Is In such poor
condition as to warrant abuse of this
kind.
ITEMS OF HIGHWAY EXPENSE
Interest on Investment and Cost of
Maintenance All Have Vital Bear
ing on Road Plans.
The following is quoted from an a$
tide by B. II. Plepmeler, maintenance
engineer, highway department, state
of Illinois:
"There are three principal Items of
expense connected with road improve
ment which the engineer must Impress
upon the public mind before It will be
possible for him to construct an econ
omical system of roads. These factors
are : The original cost of the improve
ment ; the Interest on the money in
vested In the improvement, and the to
tal upkeep cost. When all of these
factors are taken Into consideration, It
Is evident that many of the cheaper
types of roads, when properly main
tained, will give the desired service
and yet will be much more economical
on account of their low first cost.
"When a type of road Is selected.
taking Into consideration the three
principles set forth above, it Is very
essential that provision be made for
proper and efficient maintenance. If
local conditions are such that mainte
nance may be delayed or prevented,
preference should be given to a type
of pavement that requires only a small
amount of maintenance and which will
be serviceable for a period of time
even with no maintenance whatever.
.V..J
Concrete Road in Suburbs of Chicago.
Neglecting proper maintenance for but
one year on many types of roads Is
verv much more serious than the
amount of money involved represents.
The road engineer should keep this In
mind and thoroughly Impress the rnct
linon the individuals who have a voice
in the final determination of a type of
road."
