History of the Flag. “The stars and stripes forever” As in past years Ligonler observed Flag day in an informal manner. While individual organizations 'held special programs in honor of the national emblem, no co-ordination of the various programs was offered. However Ligonier honored “oOld Glory” by displaying the national colors throughout the city as it joined with the nation in celebrating the 151st anniversary of the adoption of the American flag last Thursday. America and her citiibens paid tribute to the 151 year old symbol of a nation whose colors are red, white and blue-—and which represent the United States at home and abroad as one nation individual offering liberty and justice to all. “Old Glory” with its 13 stripes and its 48 stars displayed in every national and state holiday and on historic and special occasions was born June 14 1777- when the Continental congress adopted a flag of 3 stripes and 13 stars on a blue ground representing ‘‘a new constellation.” : Tradition reads that Betsy Ross made the first national flag in Philadelphia from the design submitted by the national congress. Whether the army or the navy firgy displayed the American flag has never been proven conclusively although it is believed that the United States flag was first used August 8 1177 at Feort Stanwix.

STRAIGHT TALKS -~ WITH AUNT EMMY

ON BUILDING AN INCOME

As Aunt Emmy came out of the savings bank she met young GQGeorge Oliver. . :

© “Well, well,” he said, “it’s funny to see you coming out of a savings bank, Aunt Emmy. I thought only poor folks like me had money in savings banks—people like you just clip coupons!” ‘ ; “Have you a savings bank account?” countered Aunt Emmy. “Well, er—l suppose I}:aven’t,” he admitted. “You see, it’s hard to save money when you're first married. Somehow there never seems to be enough money to go ‘round—llet alone to put in a savings bank.” , “You never will have if you don’t get started,” interrupted Aunt Emmy. “You should make your weekly savings deposit, no matter how small, the first claim on your salary after paying your bills. I make my weekly de posit in this bank faithfully—l put away a certain sum regularly.” “You can!” Nat commented.

“It is more a habit than you would suppose,” Auant Emmy continued. “Any-one can do it who is willing to let other things wait. I began putting a little money in a savings bank years ago when it was no joke to save a few pennies. I remember what a wonderful thrill I got the first time I saw my interest entered in my bank book. There was money that my money had earned all by itself. After that it wasa sort of game with me to put a certain sum in the bank, even if I had to do without things I would have enjoyed having. Now I realize what it means to keep your money busy earning all the time so I continue to put a-little im the savings bank regularly and, after it accumulates, I draw some out and invest in safe securities that pay a higher rate of interest than savings. All the time, you see, the money is working for me. “Of course, when the sum is small, it earns little, but if you start young, as you and Molly are, it is almost like magic the way it mounts up after a few years—then when your savings get grown up into a real investment they earn a real income.” “I never thought of it in that light,” said George. : “Try it—and see for yourself how it works,” urged Aunt Emmy. “Have you ever thought how nice it would be to have a few dollars ready for use In case of an emergency? Accidents and illnesses do happen. Or suppose you had an opportunity to buy something you knew you could sell at a profit and you had to let the opportunity slip for the lack of a few hundred dollars. You and Molly would never miss five dollars a week—and if you keep at it, it will work wonders!” “You're right, it would!” exclaimed George. ‘“T'll talk to Molly tonight, Aunt Emmy, and see if we can’t revise our expenditures.” - “There would be a whole lot less family trouble and worry over money matters if every young couple did the same thing early in life,” Aunt Emmy said. ¢ ‘Start young, is the magic slogan.”

RS S AR 0 SRt s A A T SENERNNT. WSN o, o. P One Wild Beast That : Defies Power of Mar In the eternal game of “tag” between man and the animals he has hunted, there is only one beast known to man that has never been caught.. Every zoo in the world would like very much to get the white rhinoceros. to be found in large numbers near, the rivers of the Sudan, but none has. thus far been successful. i A

It has been found so hopeless to attempt to catch a white rhinoceros: alive that the government at Khartoum has forbidden the hunting of this strange animal. Compared with the white rhino, lions and elephants are easy marks. He will kill his hunter or himself. At first s\i’ht of a human the white rhino cha¥ges. If the hunter evades his fierce onrush, the rhino will, in his blind rage, charge the first substantial object within his reach, with a ferocity terrible to behold. s

It is the only animal which, threatened with captivity, will deliberately commit sulecide. Young white rhinos which were captured by natives died within a very short time, so sensitive are they to captivity. If it were possible to catch them, they would keep up their. frenzied charges until they killed themselves. The London zoo authorities have offered thousands of pounds for a specimer of the white rhinoceros, and until the ban of the Sudan government was established, practically every na‘tive in the section tried to catch one. It was the great slaughter of the beasts in an effort to capture one alive which resulted in the law against hunting the white rhino, which seems determinedly to prefer death—his death or the hunter’s—to captivity.

Great Singer Famous for Her “Temperament”

The great Patti’s mother—also a noted prima donna—was a victim of that besetting sin, jealousy. One evening, relates Emma Calve, singing with a colleague whp had false eyebro.ws.\\ thie elder Patti, jealous and furious at| the success of her comrade, began 10 stare at her fixedly. .

“What lis the matter?’ the other whispered under her breath. “Your right eyvebrow has fallen off.” came the answer. ‘The poor vietim, horrified, tore oft her left eyebrow, and remained for the ret of the act with only her right one in place. On another occasion Patti’s mother became annoyed at the applause given Lablache, perhaps the greatest basso of. all time. She seized one of the wreaths destined for him and, plantin:y it on her own head, approached tho footlights. “I have well deserved ‘it myself,” she exclaimed to an astonished audience.—Kansas City Star.”

Way to Dry Cups

There are some men behind the counters of business places who aret very clever. The cther day I saw a counter man in a loeal lunch room pull off a pretty good stunt. The man was washing cups and I noticed he did not dry them with a towel or machine., He simply placed a dry towel on a large metal tray. He explained to me that as he turned the eups upside down the water or mois: ture all ran to the towel on the tray. The towel took up all the moisture leaving the cups dry. I looked over some of the cups which the walter said he had standing for a time. They were perfectly dry. Perhaps the idea will be copled by housewives.—Salem Neaws. 5 g

Shakespeare No Horse Boy

There is no historical evidence to support the story, says the Pathfinder Magazine thut Shakespeare’s first work in connection with a theater was holding the horses of noblemen and other patrons. According to the usual version of the myth, the young Stratford man showed considerable enterprise in organizing a ‘“horse holding” group of boys who were known as “Shakespeare’s boys.” All evidence obtainable about Shakespeare tends to discredit the story. It was told by some of the poet’s early biographers, but it has been rejected by .most, if not all, of the later eritics and careful Shakespearean students. e

Homesick

Ruth Ellen was making her first vigit alone to her aunt, who has no children, The aunt visited the library and obtained the most modern authority on child diet. The menu for the child’s first evening was planned with care, but the flve-year-old refused to eat.. . “I'm homesick for something,” she said. ' : “What 1s 1t? Maybe we can find some here,” sald the solicitous aunt. “I think it’s doughnuts and eoffee,” replied the child.
