"Enlist Now tour Country Needs You!" is the slogan that will Hug throiiHhout the hind. So persistent will be its call that few young Americans will fail to note it. A great army ot women workers have already become auxiliaries to recruiting stations all over America. In groups, by foot. and car, they are making house to house ennvasses in this vast effort to stiuiu; late enlistments of young America. The spirit of the movement has al ready reached state, city officials and boards of commerce. Hundreds of let ters from governors down the list at test the popularity of the campaign. Thousands of big merchants iu all the large cities have arranged to display in their shop windows patriotic appeals lor recruits'. Stir Up Patriotism.

And yet what do we know about its origin, its mean ing, and its history. A lecture trip to the United States national museum in Washington, the national depository of American relics, will tell you much' of the flag. Naturally there were many forms of early flags, especially colonial types used by the individual colonies, and militia regiments, before the flag of the United Stntts was established by our continental congress on July 14, 1770, now celebrated as Flag Day. This act required that the ftng of the United States be of .13 alternate red and white stripes and that the union be 13 white stars on a blue field, representing a new constellation, but it did not define how many points the stars should have, how they should be arranged, nor make provision for additional ones.

T While Stars and Stripes Are Flying, Do You Recall Its History and Meaning?"" 1 " Ranger," in November, 1777. The na- tional museum has an early naval 12 star type flag said to have been flown by Johu Paul Jones during the war ot the revolution. It has been well said that our national emblem stands for American ideals and ideas it is not the flag of a family or i"g this period and uefore it carried i-ovnl house, but the flng of the whole what was known as the national colors people.

Taking Census of Young Deaf Men for Service In the hope ex-president Theodore Roosevelt may accept their offer to Te cruit for his division a regiment of deaf soldiers, the National Association of the Deaf, through T. A. Lindstroni of 2703 Cherry avenue, is taking a census of able bodied young deaf men here who are eager to defend their country. Material for this proposed regiment of silent fighters can be drawn unon from men in all walks of life, for deaf men are editors, architects, ministers and educators, as well as skilled labor ers, and all are eager to enlist if the chance conies. The deaf of other belligerent countries have exploded the idea that this class of citizens is not fit for military service. Given a com manding officer familiar with their mode of communication, the deaf can follow orders even better than the average soldier, it is said, since the air splitting bellow of artillery has no ef fect whatever upon the issuing of 'com mands. It is also claimed deaf marks- NONE BETTER YOU'LL LIKE IT Butter Nut BREAD " r DAY AND NIGHT FROM SlTB- those young men who may" reasonably ue 0XjK.cted to remain in the scrvic , hout . tleir enlistment will be ac- eepted.
