There are thirteen stripes, seven red, and six white. There Is red on each edge. 'j There la a field of, blue in the upper leii uaiiu wucii iiioia u4i.elght stars in It. Love for our flag Is In our hearts. The boys should take off their hats - when they see our flag. The girls , should salute the flag, the same as the boys. You should not let the flag touch the ground. It 4s against the law to throw a flag into the alley, or wash a window with it. If we have an old flag, we should ; burn it up in the nicest way we know how. I think our flag ia as t pretty as any other flag, When we see our flag at half-mast, we know that some great person has died. There are several names for our flag: United States Stars and Stripes, Old Glory, Red, White and Blue, and The Star Spangled Ban ner.

NORTHROP ELMER, YOUNG ARTIST, I VISITED AT HIS UNIQUE STUDIO

On Tuesday I was given, the great privilege of visiting Northrop Elmer's studio. Most of you know Northrop, but for those who are not so fortunate, I shall tell you about him. He drew for the Garfield chapel on Friday and is planning to draw at the Art gallery tomorrow afternoon. He is in Garfield Junior High school, and a prominent member of the Junior Art association. Ills studio is in his home, on North Eleventh street. The Spirit of the Orient On entering the studio I felt as if I had suddenly been transported to a room in the orient. When I turned to Northrop I almost expected to see him transformed into a Hindu priest or a Chinese. The seats were covered lounges, or low stools. Decorated lanterns hung at the window, giving the light. Quaint little incense burn ers were set around the room. The pictures were large and two were in oil, the other a pastel. "The Lady In the Blue Velvet Gown" was the outstanding one. Then near this picture was another oil that he called "The Lady by the Sea" ; it was ever so attractive. . The pastel was large and surely must have taken him a long time to produce. It was "The Flight of the Soul." The entire walls and ceiling were covered with decorative drawings, that were vivid in color and very beautiful. Lace Paper Screen It Intricate I can not wait longer to tell you the prettiest thing in the room. It was the intricate paper lace parti tion that divides the room. It Is large enough to hang fro mthe cell ing to the floor, and several feet wide. It is cut out of big squares of paper that are fastened together. I can hardly tell you how intricate it is. Northrop folded these paper squares just twice and then with an ordinary pair of scissors he cut out a pattern so delicate that the strips of the design are never more than an eighth of an inch wide. If you are passing along C street between Tenth and Eleventh look up at that west window of the second house to the south, and Bee that window. In it Northrop has a design of his paper cutting. It is beautiful. Plays Organ You can imagine my surprise when he slipped behind the paper lace screen and played a pretty piece on an organ that he has tucked back there. While he was playing, I took another look over the room and saw some seemingly ' -jrvv. -t 7 :::mm,3iyt ma .mmcr) jbwtm mxtasm ir jm jn mw4VP

carved ivory boxes and little fig

ures in ivory. The amazing part about it all is that Northrop has created everything in the room. And everything is made of the most ordinary mediums. The carved ivory ob jects were made of plain white laundry soap. He carved them with a paring knife. The beautiful lace screen was cut out of squares of shelf paper. The oriental fan that stands by the lounge is made of paper. What seems an oriental rug hanging on the wall is more paper, colored in a lovely pattern with crayon. The entire effect is amazingly attractive. That he has done it with the ordinary things that we use dally, is the mark of Northrop's genius. Natural "I always find that hen roosting on the mall box." "Sure. It was hatched from a parcel post egg." In a Dry Country ' Last summer a fruit grower with irrigated lands was happy to see a light rainfall. During the rain his hired man came In. . "Why don't you stay in out of the rain?" asked the farmer. "I don't mind a little dew like this," remarked the hired man. "I can work along Just the same." "The next time it rains,' 'ordered the farmer, "you come in. I want the water on the land." Mary'a Little Cake Mary baked a little cake To tickle papa's palate; He put it on a hickory stick And used it for a mallet. The Drawback "James, do you like going to school?" "Oh, yes, I like going and I like coming all right, but I don t care much about staying there." No Erasion on Moon's Mountains Mountains on this earth are continually being worn down by water, Ice and frost, but there are none of these agencies working on the 3,000 ste,.p peaks of the moon.

Freeman Harris has the most of anyone in his class, 445 lines; Howard Sweet is second of the boys, having 1 233 lines. Thelma Sharkitt has memorized 391 lines; Clara Monroe is second of the girls, having 330 lines. ' Captain Benjamin A. Ball, a Richmond attorney, appeared before the Garfield 9A civics classes Thursday morning, and the 9B civics classes Friday moining. He gave them an interesting and instructive talk on several phases of Americanization, impressing the things that the students themselves can do, as well aa some of the things that you urge the parents to do. This proved to be an interesting and worth-while phase on American and Education week. Assembly room No. 8 received the girls' citizenship banner for this week and next, and assembly room No. 4 won in the boys' contest. Since the new scheme has been arranged by council for checking I umbrellas by assemblies, none have been lost. This is quite a contrast to the old system.

Drawing Northrop Elmer Clay Modeling Edwin Taggart Remembered Early Visit to Prison Mr. Shaw and his family had left England to come' to the United States. When' they were a few days out at sea, the ship was wrecked so that they had to go back to Queenstown. While they were waiting for the boat to be repaired, little Anna and her father visited Spike Island, where there was a great Drison. Anna watched with great interest the prisoners who were dipping their hands into the ocean from one side of the island, and carrying the water to the other side where they emptied it Into the sea. Anna Howard Shaw (1847) never forgot that picture of the prisoners wasting their time and strength because of governmental orders. She became a minister, doctor and reformer. Later she affiliated herself with the woman suffrage movement, and it is in this field that she is best known. Considerable Charm, Yes?
