This year the day will carry a tenfold significance, as the the nation celebrates the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of George Washington, tradition credits a leading part in the very designing of the flag, and what he did to give it meaning is and will be known to every American as long as our country lives. On June 14, 1777, Congress resolved: "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, that the Union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, | representing a new constellation.5' In these simple words, authority j WANTED-- Watches and was given General Washington to deaitd on the sarhe day WANTED TO RENT--Dairy farm, with complete outfits of farming equipment, including the new crops, dairy and milk base.

OLGA The Psychic Marv^ .THURSDAY, FRIDAY "This Is The Night" with LILY DAMITA and CHARLES RU66LES sign the flag tradition has it that he went to the house of Betsy Ross jftn that visit which has J&come on® of the finest papes of American folklore- Wit-h him, according to the account, went Robert Morris and George Ross, one of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence and the uncle of Betsy Rosa's deceased husband. On entering her modest house in Arch street, Philadelphia, they are said to have found Mistress Ross busy at her needlework and humming a tune--softly,^ however, so that she might hear the tinkle of the bell on the door of her shop at the front of the house--and General Washington thus simply stated his errand. 'IMistress Ross, we have come to ask you to help m making a flag for our country. We do not feel pleased with the grand union flag because of the King's colors in the canton, so we have planned another." The "grand union" flag referred to by Washington was the one he himself had designed and first flung to the breeze on January 1, 1776, during his siege of Boston. This was at a time when the Revolutionists still felt they were fighting, not the British king, but his ministers; hence Washington's flag consisted of the thirteen alternate red and white stripes, but bore in its canton the king's crosses of St. George and St. Anthony. By 1777 the Revolutionists wefe fighting solely for an American nation, and they wanted an American flag. Mrs. Ross, it is said, undertook the making of the flag eagerly, and with an exalted sense of the unusual honor conferred upon her. Not only that, she even suggested to Washington a slight correction in the design, which bore six-pointed stars instead of tne five-pointed type of heraldry. With a snip of her scissors she cut a folded paper and held forth a perfect fivepointed star to show what she meant. For a few minutes longer the design was discussed, and as quickly as nimble fingers could execute the task, Mrs. Ross had the flag in being. So, in this homely fashion which so well suits the American spirit, was born the emblem designed by Washington, coming almost like a direct gift from him, to fly ever since over the nation that he also designed. Today, every American is privileged to ponder on the stupendous human events and influences that flowed from this simple incident at the house of Betsy Ross a century and half ago. When that flag was designed and made there was not a true Republic in existence. Since then the principles set in 'motion by George Washington and his fellow patriots have extended themselves to the uttermost parts of the earth. More than an emblem of sovereignty, the flag that Washington planned has been a symbol of human freedom, of equal opportunity, and political liberty wherever mankind has sought and fought for these things. Flags have flown for the vanity of kings. Flags have been hated by millions of people, as representing nothing but conquest and oppression. Many of the cruelties, prejudices, injustices that men have forced on each other have been wrought under the sanction of some similar emblem. The flag that will fly from thousands <vf masts today, is the one given us by George Washington to float as the first bright banner of unstained honor, over a people for whom he prepared a great destiny. It drew the early patriots from comfortable homes, from the security of their occupations and from the love of their families, to fight for the larger world which we inherit. What to them was a fair ideal is to us the great reality. No good American will neglect to ask himself how well he preserves the courage, the spirit of sacrifice belonging to those men and women who gave us this priceless heritage, on this returning anniversry of the day when their flag was born. Hardly had the American flag appeared when it began to play an immortal part in om history. It first was flung in the lace of the enemy less than two months after its creation at Fort Stanwix, on August 3, 1777. It was first earned into battle by George Washington's troops at the , ,atV® °f Brandywine, September H, 1777. It was first saluted by the British at the surrender of Burgoyne, ?^beT ,17' 1111' 011 February 14, 1^8, John Paul Jones took the first salute to the flag as a naval emblem when he sailed the "Ranger" into Quiberon Bay, France. On April 24, the same year he forced the first Btnking of colons to the flag by the t ship MDrake". in a Britisn port. In 1787 the flag was firet earned around the world by the ship Columbia," sailing from Boston. It clocks for repair.

A., though It was soon taken up by churches of all denominations, fraternal socleties, etc. H. W. Gibson, Y. M. C. A. director for Massachusetts and Rhode Island, is credited with having organlied the first of these banquets at Providence, R. L, about 1907. Protecting Aviators In the reports furnished to aviators by the weather bureau the following features are covered: Conditions of sky and weather, ceiling height, horizontal visibility, wind direction and velocity, condition and movement of upper air currents, temperature, barometric pressure, dew point, thunderstorms, squalls, condition of landing fields, fog, cloud formation, smoke and haze. Glacier*# Movements.. , Whs greatest movement Of giaoters naturally takes place in the summer. The rate of movement depends upon the mass of snow and Ice, the slope and smoothness of the Rrofind, and the slope of the upper surface of the ice. The movement can be compared to that of a river, the greatest rates being in the center, the upper layers, awl in restricted- -parts of its channel. Swift'* Familiar Saying The verse about' the fleas having •mailer fleas to bite them Is frequently quoted. Dean Swift wrote the following: "So, naturalists observe, a flea has smaller fleas that on him prey; And these have smaller still to bite 'em; And so proceed ad infinitum." Engrossed Declaration , Timothy Matlifcfe was the expert penman who engrossed the original Oerlarati.on of Independence. was flown in battle in thfe Pacific by the U. S. Frigate "Essex" in 18J3, and in the next year it inspired Francis Scott Key to "The Star Spangled Banner." Once, in 1794, when Vermont and Kentucky joined the Union, the stars and stripes were increased to IB; but in 1818 Congress fixed the final form of the flag as of thirteen stripes, with a star to represent each State. On April 6, 1909, Admiral Peary planted the first American flag at the North Pole. Since then Admiral Byrd has carried it to hot!), poles. Wherever it has gone it has meant honor and achievement but thisr.year it floats in honor of the greatest of Americans and the greatest A of achievements-- George Washington, and his of the United State*. iTOPNOTCHiRS Jfotuy f&rd avfjam, Jitly SO*- J863 uu LEAENac* t/uP U^WCHINISTT IfcADe s /ShtcsrW built V Frew the Frencfc Legerdemain is sleight of hand, jug- *Hn*: sophistry.
