RESULT—A DOWNPOUR OF BARGAINS AT MILLER’S! _ Fringe on American Flag For a number of years there has been prescribed in army regulations a knotted fringe of yellow silk on the national standards of mounted regiments and on the national colors of unmounted regiments. The War department, however, knows of no law which either requires or prohibits tlie placing of a fringe on the flag of the United States. No act of congress or executive order has been found bearing on the question. In flag manufacture a fringe is not considered to be a part of the flag, and it is without heraldic significance. In the com mon use of the word It is a fringe and not a border. Ancient custom sanctions tlie use of fringe on the regimental colors and standards, bin there seems to be no good reason or precedent for its use on other flags. Dr. J. A.
