The routiue of a nuval establishment gives an unusual aniouut of life to the plaza of Agana, Guam. Every morning at 8 o'clock the full band assembles before the palace and the halyards of the two flag stJflTs are manned by marines. Promptly ut the first stroke of "eight bells," the band plays the "Star Spangled Bunuer," and the national flag and the Union Jack ure hauled up, while everyone in sight and hearing stands at attention. All 1 the children of the primary grades ' have previously assembled in formation on the parade ground itself and after i "colors" they go through cnllsthenie ' exercises while the hand plays suit1 able music. On Sunday' mornings the men of Agana are exercised in military drill, 1 which is compulsory for ull the able1 bodied men within certain age limits. ' While they have a standard or uniform dress, tins is worn only on spe1 cial occasions. Yet dress parade is a truly dignified affair, for the youths 1 maintain that erect and self-reliant carriage which is so characteristic ot native races. Occasionally a most interesting drill ; is witnessed of the "carahao cavalry," t as it is called, although the mounts i are not water hufTulo hut domestic ? cuttle.

NEW VERSION OF "OLD GLORY" |Englishman Offers Opinion That Star* i and Stripes Are Copy of East India Company's Flag. A new theory about the origin of the American Hag is told by ttie writer of the By the Way column In the London Daily Express. It Is ' sent by a correspondent evidently i versed in such matters, who expresses i the opinion that the attribution of ' "Old Glory" to the arms of the Wash-, ington family 1$ exploded. "It is much more probable," he J writes, "that the Hag of the old East i India company formed the pattern, i This flag seems to have been used as [ the official ling of the l.'I original \ states from January, 1770, to June, j 1777, when a blue canton charged with , 1.1 stars was substituted for the can- ] ton bearing the English 'Union.' The flag'then became, in substance, that of today, though stars have been added as other states adhered to the federation." The correspondent quotes authorities. "Truth must prevail, whatever It Is,, but," says the columnist, "I like the i. ' story told by Newman in his address- jl cs to tlie Brothers of Oratory, mere was once an old priest, he tells us, 1 j who for years began a certain part of the service with the words: 'Quod ore mnmpsiuuis.' One day a more learned person heard him and afterward told him that the third word should he 'sumpsimus.' The old priest admitted that it might he so, 'hut,' he | i added, 'I will not change my old mumpsimus for your new sumpsimus.' I like the old mumpsimus story assoI j cialing 'Old Glory' with Sulgrave . : manor." * I | f' EVIDENTLY HER LUCKY DAY Girl at First Thought Pickpocket Was Cusy, but It Turned Out Just . the Other Way. , The business girl, straphanging In , the subway at the rush hour, felt a , gentle tug on the pocket of her rnln. i eat.

NEW STC 1 IF SHE COULD HAVE KNOWN! Detroit Girl Probably Will Always ml Feel That Fate Has Been Most nii Unkind to Her. hi' * Vc Some women rush into marriage, r?>( hut others give thought to what the P? economic experts say a man should "" be earning and have in the hank before taking unto himself a wife. Few will question that the latter *'? jourse is the sensible one, observes the w'f Providence .Journal, lint it has Jts 1)11 exceptions, like everything else. One of the most romantic of them, jmwliaps, is contained in a recent news lisimteh from Detroit, telling how :in engine-room worker in one of the city hotels at 30 cents an hour was spurned by the girl of his dreams because she was sure that he would never be able to support her. Jn less than a week after the spurning the mnn received a message from a Toledo attorney saying that be was one of three heirs to a $15,000,000 estate in California. Fiction, which levels In the happy ending, would have had the lucky one repeat his offer of marriage and meet with quick and maybe tearful acceptance, and then would have given us a pretty word picture of the smiling couple whirling westward on a train do luxe. But truth is cold and exact The engine-room worker simply said good- T by to the girl who had rejected him i I and went to lay claim to his inheritance?nlone. Was this decision correct? And will the young woman, If her hand is sought again by some humble hut steady workman, consider his earning capacity above his desire to make her his helpmate?
