Ob June 14. 1777. the continental con
gress voted that the flag of the thir
teen United States should consist of
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white, the union being thirteen stars,
white in a blue field, representing a
new constellation. In 1794. Vermont
and Kentucky haring been admitted
to the union, it was voted that a new
stripe and a new star for each should
be added. The apparent design was
to continue this process of addition
as new states came in.
In ISIS, however. Tennessee.. Ohio.
Louisiana. Indiana, and Mississippi
haring joined the union, with Illinois,
Alabama and Missouri knocking at
the door, it was decided to alter the
arrangement. In that year it was
voted that the stripes should be thir
teen only, recalling the "original thir
teen." while the union should have
one star added to it with the admis
sion of each new state the following
Fourth of July being the date of ad
dition in each instance.
In that form the flag of the United

followed with devotion by thousands
of soldiers. It has stirred the loftiest
sentiment of those who have lived be
neath its protecting folds.
To the American citizen it stands
for sovereignty. And sovereignty to
feim means more than it does to the
citizen of almost every other country,
because it is vested in the people
themselves rather than in some individ
ual whp claims it by right of birth,
or divine will, or conquest in war. The
flag is an inspiration in times of diffi
culty and danger. It makes strong ap
peal to the spirit of loyalty. It serves
as an imperative call to duty. The
anxious questioning of Francis Scott
Key until the dawn’s early light and
the fierce fighting of the soldier in
the last rally about the standard have
common birth.
Flag Day.
Neither the blind worshiper of the
American flag who looks on it as the
banner of an ideal civilization actually
achieved nor the splenetic pessimist
who in weariness or contempt bolds it
to be the symbol of a fraud on liberty
approaches Flag day in a proper or
reasonable spirit That either is use
less we should not say. Each in his
way contributes to the formation of
sane conceptions of civic duty and re
sponsibility, the one by awakening in
us a recognition of the high aspira
tions of democracy, the other by re
minding us how far below the level of
those ambitions is our most consider
able accomplishment That the Ameri
can experiment was worth trying, that
it has succeeded in a gratifying de
gree, that it has conferred great bene
i fits on mankind and that the govern
ment born of it. retaining substantial
ly the form it now has. is destined to
perform still greater services for hu
manity. we firmly believe. Notwith
standing the dissatisfaction aroused
by certain outcomes of our industrial
development and with a complete rec
ognition not only of obvious political
disabilities Inherent in the federal
scheme of administration, but of Its
less evident weaknesses, we still main
tain that as in the past this democ
racy has won honor and fame so in
the future it will deserve respect and
confidence.—New York Sun.
Want Independent Outlet.
It has always been a sore point
amongst Germans that their own Fa
ther Rhine should make his entrance
into the sea through Dutch territory
instead of imperial. Thus a very
great proportion of the profits from
German traffic into and out of the
Rhine is snapped up by Holland,
which, from a mercantile point of
view, commands Europe's most famous
northern river at the great port of
Rotterdam. A conference has been
held at Munich to discuss the question
of creating a "German mouth” to the
Rhine. One of the declarations: "All
German shipbuilding hitherto has been
profiting the Dutch without costing
them a penny. Germany must now
construct an independent outlet to the
, world's markets.”

THE HUMAN SIDE
*
By FRANK COBB.
Punsters had called Brainerd the
brains of the car aign against Saul !
Jones, the bos6 of i^awrencetown. His
cartoons created a nation-wide sensa
tion, and did much to turn the tide
of public opinion against the man who '
had for so long been supreme in the
city. The one which made the sensa
tion of the week depicted Jones in con
vict garb, ascending the wall of a
building marked “Public Efficiency.” ,
The idea was not startling, but it was
the expression on the boss’ face that
did the work.
And Jones won the election. Four
weeks before it occurred Brainerd
seemed to lose his grip. True, he drew
cartoons as of yore; but they were
mild and milk-like in comparison with
his vitriolic contributions to the Eagle
during preceding issues.
After the election It got known that
Jones had seen Brainerd at hie house,
the day following the appearance of
the convict cartoon. The word went
round that Brainerd had been “fixed." :
He lost his post, of course, and no
other newspaper would employ him.
That is, with the exception of Jones’
sheet, the Clarion-Democrat. Brainerd
refused the offer, pc.cs.ed up, and left
Lawrenceiown.
I happen to know what occurred,
because Brainerd told me. He told
me two nights before he left. He had j
come to ask the loan of $200 to take I
him to Net^ York. He is doing well j
there; but that doesn't look ae if he ■
had been paid very much for dropping
his attack on Jones, does It?
Brainerd was heart and soul in his
work. He was all for reform and good
government. The night the convict
cartoon came out was one of the hap
*

Looking Man Who Stood Before
Him.
piest of his life. He went home to
sleep, after planning a new one that
would pulverize all that remained of
Jones.
He got a telephone message in the
morning.
“This i6 Saul Joaes, Mr. Brainerd,"
said the voice. "I want to see you
very much. Can you come to my
house before going on to your office?*’
If Brainerd had been wise he would
have declined. But he was human
enough to enjoy the anticipation of
meeting Jones face to face, and refus
ing the bribe which he had no doubt
Jones meant to offer him.
Jones had a nice house in a good
district, and Brainerd was surprised
at the good taste it 6howed inside. He
was more surprised at the quiet, lady
like woman who came in to him as he
waited in the library and announced
herself as Mrs. Jones.
“My husband will be down in a
minute,” she said. “I know who you
are, Mr. Brainerd, and you can't ex
pect me to feel very kindly toward
you. However, I suppose you get your
living by cartooning your political op
ponents. Only, let me tell you that my
husband has never done a dishonest
thing in the whole course of his life.”
With that she flounced out of the
room, if such an expression can be |
applied to the angry swish of an angry'
woman’s gown. Brainerd smiled
rather bitterly.
“Hiding behind a woman's skirt,”
he said to himeelf. “Won’t I trounce
him tomorrow!”
iiitu juue& m ai uie uwr.
Rrainerd had seen the boss at a dis
tance. He knew that he was a very
ordinary-looking citizen, with a good- i
natured aspect and a tendency to
avoirdupois. He had never dreamed
to see the haggard-looking man who
stood before him.
"You are Mr. Brainerd?” inquired
the boss. "Sit down. I have asked
you to come here with reference to
your cartoon in yesterday's Eagle.”
"Yes." answered Brainerd, think
ing that his fun was just going to
begin.
"How much?" inquired Saul Jones,
sinking into a chair and resting his
chin on one hand. His searching eyes
were fixed penetratingly upon the car- j
toonist’s.
Brainerd rose up. “I was expecting
that question, Mr. Jones,” he answered.
”1 take it that you are offering me a
sum of money to cease cartooning you.
Let me tell you that I am not to be
bought, sir, for all the money in Law
rencetown.”
How he was enjoying himself! He
told me so himself. Everybody likes
to play the virtuous man when he has
the chance to.
As Brainerd was going toward the
doer the boss sprang from his chair
and caught him by the arm.
“I’m not asking you to stop attack
ing me,” he said huskily. ‘Tve been
attacked pretty well all through my
public life, and I have managed to sur
vive it. I ask you how ^nuch you will
take, Mr. Brainerd, not to betray what
vou have discovered? Come, a lump
sum—and for the rest you can attack
me every minute of your working
hours.
"Ah. you young men!" he resumed.
“It is so easy to crush your enemy,
isn't it? But when you have lived
as long as I have you will have come
to see that magnanimity pays—yea.
sir, pays, because you never know
what is going to come into your own
life, or what you will do under temp
tation. Mr. Brainerd.
“Yob saw my wife? I sent her in
to you, so that you should be able to
judge. She knows nothing about it.
She thinks I am the best man in the
world. And it is thirty years ago—
my God! I didn't think anybody
would have found that out against
me.
“I was a young fellow of twenty
two. It was my first and only crime.
I put my employer's name on a check
They gave me six months in state's
prison for it. And I escaped—like a
fool, I escaped, wearing the stripes,
too, and I had only three months to
serve. I have been a harried and
hounded man all my life in conse
quence.”
The boss sunk his head upon his
hands, and Brainerd. amazed at this
confession, stood still, not knowing
what to do. It was quite a few mi
nutes before he realized what had
happened. Jones had connected the
cartoon with the secret in his past
life, and he read in it a threat of ex
posure which Brainerd had never
meant, and for a crime of which the
artist had been entirely ignorant.
"Well?" asked the boss, raising his
head. "Are you going to break up >
my home and ruin my life, young
man. to gratify your hate: or are you
going to let bygones be bygones and
take $5,000?"
That was where Brainerd did the
right thing. If he had told Jones that
he had not known about that episode,
he would have left the man crushed
and humiliated by his folly in betray
ing it. He stretched his hand out and
grasped the boss’.
“Mr. Jones," he said, “I was a young
fool and you have taught me a much
needed lesson. There is no question
of money—and the "Eagle" will never
again publish a cartoon like the “Con j
vict."
rvv l uts » ui u.
“You see,” Brainerd explained to ;
me afterward. “I was really quite cap ,
able of doing such a thing with de- !
liberate design, if I had known. But
nobody knew, and the man had been
the victim of his own conscience. And
after I had seen him in his home, and
learned that all men are made more
or less out of the same clay—why. i
the thing came home to me. And !
somehow I could never put my heart
into my work again. The managing
editor thought I had been ‘fixed.’ So i
do the public, I guess. I’m going to
New York—and. I say, I want you to
let me have a couple of hundred to
keep things going till I get started.”

EARLY AGES OF LEARNING
Progress Throughout the Centuries
Has Been of Consistent if Not
Rapid Growth.
About 650 B. C. there arose Thales
who. by his wide experience and the
persistent enthusiaEin with which he
carried on investigation, earned the
title of "father of science.” And
shortly after him, Anaximander, by
committing his knowledge to writing, |
brought into existence the first sci
entific manuscript. The sixth cen
tury, like the seventh, was still a pe- ;
riod of origins. It saw the physical
researches of Pythagoras, and the his
torical studies of Hecataeus. In the
fifth century. Greek learning reached
its climax. This age was resplen
dent with the names of Thucydides,
who wrote history with critical care:
of Heraclitus, who conceived of a uni
versal reign of law. and of Hippo
crates. the "father of medicine.” Its
greatest character was Socrates, the
barefooted qaestioning sage of the
market places of Athens. With ever
burning enthusiasm for truth, this i
great teacher attempted, by quiet and
candid debate, to aid _ men to make
their concepts clear, and to give words
definite meanings. trusting that
through the correct use of the rea
son they would arrive at a recognition
of superiority of right actions. The
next century was both an advance
and a decline. It comprised the work
of Plato and Aristotle; the one elabo
rating the concepts of Socrates with
poetic power, the other systematizing
knowledge in truly scientific form. But
in this age the demand for brilliant :
superficial learning as an asset for
climbers, led to the rise of the Soph j
ists. These popular teachers, by
their careless sweeping generaliza- !
tions and their rhetorical embejlish- ;
ment.s, turned the Greek mind aside '
from the simple pursuit of truth, and
entangled it in unprofitable meta
physical speculation. — Engineering

HYPNOTISM FOR THE AILING
Famous French Physician Claims to
Be Able So to Cure Many of the
Ills of Mankind.
Dr. Bertillon of Paris asserts that
psychotherapia, or soul-culture, is the
medicine of the future.
He does not put his patients into
hypnotic trances, but places than in
an environment which creates an ap
petite for sleep. He invites them to
repose on their beds and think of
nothing. Then he leaves them, and i
they gradually succumb to the '•tick
tack” of a metronome.
When a patient is in a hypnotic
slumber, if it is desired that he shall
be cured of a tendency to excessive
indulgence in alcohol, the psychother
apist suggests to him that he cannot
raise a glass of absinthe to his lips,
and repeats the suggestion until the
prohibition is so engraved upon the
brain that if the patient would he
could not do so.
Dr. Bertillon is frequently consulted
by those who have had unhappy love
affairs, and ft is said that through hyp
notism they obtain release from their
unrequited passion.

Quite True.
The vicar of an English mining vil
lage sent a pair of boots to the cob
bler's for repairs, but Bill, who had
been imbibing rather freely, felt no
inclination for work, so ihe boots w ere
not touched that day. Next morning
Ins'nerves were rather shaky and he
longed for "a hair of the dog that bit
him.” His own boots were rather dir
ty, so he thought there was no harm
in putting on the parson's, which he
accordingly did, and turned off into the
village pub. for a big “reviver." He
had not gone very far when whom did
he meet but the vicar, who Said:
“I sent my boots down for repairs,
William. Are you not finished with
them yet?"
“Wey, mistor,” answered Bill, calm
ly, “they're not mended yit, but they're
on t>« road.”
In Difficulty.
A newly-married young woman had
a gas cooker fixed in her kitchen. The
gas company sent her a card of rules,
with instructions to study them well,
and what she couldn't understand they
would explain to her. Imagine the
clerk’s surprise the next morning
when he read the following note:
“Dear Sir—I can understand all the
rules except the one at the bottom of
the card— 'See other side.’ It's im
passible to see the other side: the
man has fixed it against the wall.”

We do not ask you to do
our experimenting
During the twenty-one years in which we have been
bnilding motor cars, we have never asked the public to do our
experimenting. Every unit of the Haynes car is designed,
checked and thoroughly tested before receiving its final O.K.
The American Simms Dual High Tension Magneto is
positively the most simple dual ignition ever devised. It
was recommended by the Haynes engineers after careful
speed and compression tests proved beyond doubt that it
was unusually efficient and absolutely dependable.
The Leece-N’eville Starting and Lighting Separata
Unit System was chosen in 1910 because of its high effi
ciency and has been u^ed on the Haynes car ever since,
although numerous other starting and lighting systems
have been tested in our laboratories from time to time.
This system is dust-proof and has proven itself 100% effi
cient in every i nstance. There is no apparatus, however, on tus
America's First Car
that has been subjected to a more severe lest than the Vulcan
Electric Gear Shift. This device is even a greater improvement
than the starting and lighting system, because it not only sim
plifies the control but positively prevents stripping of gears.
While the electric gear shift is a great invention, it is
not radically new, being just a natural development of the
