REPRISAL CHARGED (Proper Use of Flag On Fourth of July 10 RESERVE BOARD Par Clearance Decision Held by Certain Bankers to Be Move for Control. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, June 30.—New regula- tions announced last night by the Yederal Reserve Board at Washing: ton, extending the scope of the fed- eral reserve s em’'s par clearance arrangements, were termed “a system of reprisals In the par clearance con- troversy” in a statement issued to- night by L. R. Adams, general secre- tary of the Country Bankers' Assocla- tion of Georgla and the National and State Bankers' Protective Assoctation. | According to the Federal Reserve Board's announcement fede reserve banks will be prohibited “from re- celving on dcposit or for ollection’ checky drawn on banks which demand & fee for collections. “Against Part of Cltizenship.” The n requlations present “a| wery remarkable, if not alarming sit- uation,” Mr. Adams says in his state- ment. The Supreme Court has de- clared, according to extracts of deel- sions he quotes, that “the policy of the federal reserve banks Is governed by the policy of the United State: When a semi-governmental agen curbed by three decisions of the & preme Court, “resorts to reprisals against a certain class of our citi- zens in order to compel those citizens 10 bow to their will and acquiesce in 1 system of doing busine: which the Supreme Court has sald s not re- quired by the law and is ntrary to the exp: »ns of the federal reserve act, statement declares, “we find the government arrayed sgainst o portion of its citizenship, seeking to accomplish by reprisal that which under the law they have no right to demand. “Par clearanc to the controver: statement added. he real issue is bigger and broader. It relates to the purposes behind it all, and of which the Supreme Court has id, ‘for the service rendered by the drawee bank in so remitting funds available for use at the place of the deposit of the check, it was formally common prac- tice to make a small charge, called wxchange, and to deduct the amount from the remittance. This charge of the drawee bank the Federal Reserve Moard planned to eliminate and, in s0 doing, to concentrate in the twelve federal reserve banks the clearance of checks and the accumulation of the reserve balances used for that pur- pose.’ is but an incident however, the Fears Concentration. “This purpose, it accomplished, would concentrate in the federal re- serve banks practically all the bank- ing reserves of the United States and give them a degree of control over the banking resources of the United States, which it i3 alarming even to contemplate.” The present efforts offer no better prospect of ultimate success than did the “reserve board's previous war- fare,” the statement concludes. —_———— MASONIC LODGE OPENS BAZAAR AT BRIGHTWOOD Director Expects All Attractions to Be in Operation Tomor- row Night.

LT LU Est. 1889 Hotel Schenley Fifth Ave. at Schenley Park PITTSBURGH, PA. HE flag of the United States symbolizes that freedom, equal- ity, justice and humanity for which our forefathers sacrificed their lives and personal fortunes. Today that flag represents a nation of more than 100,000,000 free people; its Constitution and instutions; its achlevements and aspirations. In order that this flag. may prop- erly carry its full meaning to all the world, and be honored at all times and everywhere, a flag code was re- cently adopted at the national flag conference, called by the American Legion and attended by from sixty-elght national patriotic organizations. Not only that, but a permanent committee was appointed to stimulate all patriotic, social, fra- ternal and educational assoclations, organizations and institutions to a constant dlssemination of the code adopted, so that the flag of the United States may be brought Into greater and more universal reverence and respect. There are certain fundamental { rules of heraldry which, If understood generally, would indicate the proper method of displaying the flag. The matter becomes a very simple one 1f it Iy kept in mind that the national flag represents the living country and Is Itself considered as a living thing. The union of the flag s the honor point; the right arm s the sword and, therefore, the point of danger and hence the place of honor. The flag of the United States has thirteen horizontal stripes—seven red and six white, the red and white stripes alternating—and a union consists of white stars of five points on a blue field placed in the upper quarter next the staft and extending to the lower edge of the fourth red stripe from the top. The number of stars is the same us the number of states In the Union. The canton or unlon now contalns forty-elght stars arranged in six horlzontal and elght vertical rows, each star with one point upward. &k, HE flag should be displayed from sunrise to sunset only or between such hours as designated by proper authority on national and state holi- days and on historic and special oc- casion. The flag should always be hoisted briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously. When carried in a procession with another flag or flags the place of the flag of the United States is on the right, 1. e, the flag’s own right, or when there is a line of other flags the flag of the United States may be In front of the center of that line. When displayed with another flag, against a wall from crossed staffs, the flag of the United States should be on the right. the flag's own right, and its staff should be In front of the Staff of the other flag. When several flags are grouped and displayed from staffs the flag of delegates | the United States should be in the center or at the highest point of the group. When the flags of ten or more na- pennants of socleties are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States the flag of the United States must always be at the peak. When flown from adjacent staffs the flag of the United States should be holsted first. No flag or pennant should be placed above or to the right of the flag of the United States. When the flags or ten or more na- tions are to be displayed they should be flown from separate staffs of the same helght and the flags should be of equal size. (International usage torbids the display of the flag of one natlon above that of any other nation in time of peace.) When the flag i displayed from & staff projecting hortzontally or at-an angle from the window siil, balcony or front of bullding the union of ‘the flag should go clear to the head of the staff unless the flag is at half staf. When the flag of the United States is displayed other than flown from a staff, it should be displayed fl whether indoors or out. When df played either horizontally or vertical- 1y sgainst a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag’s right, L. e., to the observer's left. When dfs- played fn a window it should be dis- plaved the same way—that ia with the union or blue field to the left of the observer in the street. When festoons or drapings of blue, white and red are desired, bunting should be used, but never the flag. When displayed over the middle of the street. as betwcen bulldings, the flag of the United States should be suspended vertically with the union to the north In an east and west streot or to the cast in a north and south street. When used on a speaker's platform, the flag should be displayed above and behind the speaker. It should never be used to cover the speakers desk nor drape over the front of the platform. If flown from & staff it should be on the speaker's right. When used in unvelling & statue or monument the flag should not be al- lowed to fall to the ground, but should be carrled aloft to wave out, forming & distinctive feature during the re mainder of the ceremony. *s e HEN flown at helf-etaff the flag is first holsted briskly to the peak and then lowered to the half-staft position, but before lowering the flag for the day it is ralsed agaln to the peak. On Memorial day, May 30, the flag ls displayed at half-staff from sunrise until noon and at full staff from noon until sunget, for the nation lives and the flag Is the symbol of the living nation. When used to cover & casket, the | flag should be placed so that the | union 1s at the head and over the left shoulder. The flag should not be lot @ “Black Beauties” Not only are Delion Cords so desirable because of their longer mileage (you know, they’re abso- lutely guaranteed for 10,000 miles and all adjust- ments are made on that basis), but— they add to the smart appearance of every car.

Eight Roomz Specis] Dispatch to The Star. ANNAPOLIS, Md., June 30.—Because he violated the rules of the Naval Academy and entered the married ranks early in t ring, Midshipman Edwin A. Norrls of Alllance, Ohlo, star foot ball back, will have to leave the service. There ia great regret here over the fact, as Norris was ex- pected to be one of the best college backs next year. It fs understood that the bride is & Washington girl and that the wed- ding took place early in the sprin at Alexandria, Va. The detalls, how. ever, are not knewn by the Naval Academy officlals,.it being sufficient for them that Norrls admits that he {s. married. The rule against. the marrying of midshipmen is stringent- 1y enforced, and Supt. Wilson has recommended ' to the Navy Depart- ment that Norris. e dropped. " Norris is now at the Naval Hospital here being treated for.a bad knee, re- cetved, whilo playing. lacto For that reason he did not go with the other “midshiuman on..the summer ractice crufse. It had been hoped, owever, that he wogld recover suff. clently jo ‘plgy tfoot ball when the season began. There have been per- sistent “fumors during the last term that some of the midshipmen were married. However, only case which came to the attention of the authorities were those of Norris and a member of the first class who was dropped for misconduct just before the last graduation. The investiga- | tion - diaclosed that this midshipmun | “lso was married, though action | againet him was on other grounds. Pl Extra lu tric fixt: one-plece sink and drainbos: bungalows.
