GOVERN ISLAND LIKE VESSEL
In Guam the UsUal Routine of a Naval
Ship Is Observed With
Scrupulousness.
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,"

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."

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. Far from being disturbed, she
, grinned sardonically, knowing that
, , just exactly one dime rested in the
,. shabby little purse resting in that par^
ticular pocket. She was so hemmed .
, in by fellow travelers that it was ,
^ difficult to discover if her suspicions
t were facts until she emerged with the
_ struggling mass nt her station. Then
r she dipped her hand lightly Into the
e pocket only to find the ancient purse
s intact nryi in Its accustomed spot.
Rut that wasn't the only thing In
L, the pocket. Extracting n hard subj.
stance gingerly, she stared In a daze
v nt a roll of bills protected by an elastic
band. Exhilarated and excited
over this reverse state flf affairs, she
counted her ill-gotten gains and he- |
hold, she was the richer by 30 perI)
fectlv good dollars. Whether a fellow

will not he refused as tainted money.

THE
' ft .
Woman Bird 8urgeottf<- j |
The only woman bird surgddjfi In the
world Is Miss Virginia Pope of New I
York. Miss Pope treats everything
from bird croup to a blrd/s broken leg j
and she goes out at any time of night j
to attend her patients Just as any '
other physician does. She Is also a I
bird boarding house keeper, taking <
care of eanarles~and other pets whose ' I
families are out of town or need a; 1
rest from song. Just nTW' there are
700 birds in her cuje, and her life is ! <
n merry one In' consequence. A good
many of the 700 she expect^ to have i
with her the rest of their lives. Peo- <
pie get tired of them and bring them I
to Miss Pope and then, forget to call ; i
for them. Of course that isn't whut i
might l>e called profitable for the bird I
surgeon, but she takes just as good I
care of them as she does for her "paying
guests." Her fondest hope is to i
have a lurge bird hospital with plenty
of room and equipment. Three floors I
and a basement get- crowded some- i
times now.
Figs Flourish In Poorest Soil. i
Consul Homer M. Byington of Na- I
pies writes that the production of
figs for local consumption and for exportfltlon
Is an .Important Industry in
southern Italy. Fresh figs are a staple ]
article of food, especially for the
poorer classes, during the season, and
when dried in the sun may be kepjt <
for considerable periods of time. Of I
peculiar economic value is the fact i
that they may he grown in soil too i
poor for other crops. The trees are
planted irregularly and frequently on
steep hillsides along small terraces.
In certain provinces it is the custom i
for landowners to enter Into an agree- 1
nient with the farmer whereby the 1
latter plants fig trees in the Inferior
or waste portion of land, taking the j
entire crop of a stated number of years '
and at the end of the contract returning
the land In producing condition.
That Part Easily Arrange!. Ii
"Where would you go if tl>? land- b
ord doubled tbe rent?" asks an ad- v
rertlser. "We rnn't say offhand, but '

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?
