BULLOGK EXPLAINS DISPLAY OF FLAG Recruiting OMoer Issues Bule tin for Merchants’ Guidance Stating that at least one Main street merchant has the American flag displayed in an incorrect man- rer, Corporal Willlam Bullock of the U. 8. army recruiting station in this city, has requested the publication of the following bulletin on proper dis- playing of the American flag: ‘There are two ways only to display the American flag properly. One is to By the flag trom a staff, freely unfurled, with the starry sield, or union s it is called, toward the peak. The other is to hang the flaw, either lengthwise or breadthwisz, with the union always uppermost and to the observer's left as ke fuces the flag. Attempts teo “improve” the ap- pearance of the American flag Ly other methods of display, such as fastening it into a rosette or using it as a draping, lack the respect due to Old Glory as the symbol of our country. To fly the flag from a staff, hoist it briskly to the peak, with the union uppermost. Jt should be lowered slowly and ceremoniously, never per- mitting its folds to touch the ground. 1§ suspended across a str. the fag should be hung vertically, with the union uppermost and to the north in an east-and-west street and to the east in a north-and-south street. When flown at half-staff, the flag should be raised to the peak of the staft and then Jowered to half-staf: before lowering for the day, i thould be raised again to the pcak and then lowered for removal. At crossed staff with another flag, the American flag should be on the obperver's left, the staif in front of the staff of the other flag. ‘When forming a cluster with other flags, the American flag shouid be in the center of the group or al the kighest point in the group. In a procession, the American flag sheuld be on the marching right of all other flags or in the for.coater of a line of flags. Whether indoors or out, the flag *hould not be festoonad over :loor- ways or arches, tied in a bow-kuot, or etherwise employed in purcly decorative man: For these pur- poses, bunting of the national colors is more appropriate; and since the union is the flag’s honor point, th bunting should be arranged with tha blue uppermost. On a s=peaker’s platform, the American flag. if not fiown from a staff, should be displayed flat and placed above and to the rear of the speaker—union on the observer's left. It on a staff. the flag should be on the speaker's right. On 2 staff projecting from a win- dow, the flag may be displayed with the staft either horizental or at an angle, with the union, except at half staff, to the outermost point of the staft, When several flags are flown from stafts, the American flag should be flown from the staff on the extreme left of the observer. Old Giory is hoisted first and lowered last. When flags of two or more na- tions are displayed, they should be flown ‘from separate staffs and all flags should be approximately the same size. International usage for- bids the display of the flag of one nation over that of another in time of peace. At:ynveiling ceremonies the Amer- ican flag should form a distinctive Teature of the program, but should not be used as a covering for the statue. The use of the flag for athletic uniforms, handkerchiefs, napkins, or other purposes lacking in dignity and respect, while not strictly a vio- lation of law, is offensive to persons of patriotic feeling. . When the flag becomes soiled, it may be laundered with propriety. This is best done in one’s own home. There is an old army custom whereby Old Glory, when damaged or frayed, may be withdrawn from service with due reverence. Accord- ing to this custom, the union is first cut from the flag, then the two pieces of the flag which is no longer a flag are cremated and their ashes strewn over the parade ground. For further rules governing the display of Old Glory apply to near- est U. S. army recruiting office.

CARD OF THANKS ‘We wish to thank our friends and neighbors, also societies for the | secretary, and family aboard, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1928. PORTO RICO TRIES T0 STOP DISEASES (Continued from First Page) The first automobile from Caguas about 20 miles south of San Juan, made its way here yesterday after- noon. The driver said Caguas was “flat.” - This municipality has a pop- ulation of ubout 35,000 and is in one of the greatest tobacco growing sections of the island. Ships Sunk Much of the shipping in the har- bor was either sunk or ashore. The New York and Porto Rico line steamer 8an Lorenzo sailed during the afternoon 24 hours behind schedule, having remained tied up to her pier during the hurricane. All banks were closed due to the inadequacy of transportation. It was probable that they would open today. The 600 foot towers of the navy radio station at Cayey, 30 miles south of San Juan, were reported to be down and wireless communi tion was halted either from damage to apparatus or lack of power for sending. Governor Towner said he had no | information regarding crops de- stroyed. He thought it probable that injury to fruits was considerable, to- | bacco quite large and coffee very great. Sugar cane he did not be- lieve to be seriously damaged. The governor took preliminary | steps soon after the hurricane to or- ®anize relief for the immediate vi- cinity. He said all lecal meana would be exhausted before outside ald was asked. It was thought, however that if the dumage to other points was as great as that te San Juan the local relief agencies would be inadequate. Firemen and workmen pressed into service to clear streets of debris. The governor call. ed on Col. George H. Elms, of the 65th Infantry, as well as the adju- tant general of the national guard raquesting their assistance for re- storing and maintaining order in cooperation with the police. The officers’ houses and troops’ quarters of the 65th Infantry were badly damaged, two sections of quarters being demolished. But there was no loss of life or injury among the soldiers. Bulldings Damaged Chancellor Benner said that all cxcept two buildings of the Univer. sity of Porto Rico were damaged, probably beyond repair. One of the undamaged buildings was the new dormitory for girls. He placed the loss at $300,000 and asserted the in- stitution would probably have to close for a time at least. The uni- versity is at Rio Pledras, seven miles south of Ban Juan. At the governor's palace of all the pictures of former governors and presidents of the United States, the only one to suffer damage was that of Theodore Roosevelt. It was torn from the wall by the gale and the glass and frame smashed. At Ponce. in the south central section of Porto Rico, hospital was destroyed by the hur- ricane, a cablegram to missionary headquarters of the Episcopal church in New York stated. Miss Ellen T. Hicks, the hospital super- intendent, added that all were saved. 8t. Luke's was built in 1906 being the first modern hospital on the island and was valued at §125,- 000, | Word was received from Havana last night that the steamship Or- coma, which sailed for Havana from Bermuda on Wednesday with S8ir Austen Chamberlain, British foreign had not been heard from at Havana. Officers of the line thought that the vessel's course might have been al. tered to avoid the hurricane area. Crops Destroyed Probably the greatest suffering among the masses will be due to the destruction of bananas and other minor crops off which they live. Little of these crops was be- licved to be left standing. The coffee crop of which little had been gathered and which had been estimated to be worth $15.- 000,000, was the cause of serious | concern. If the storm struck the coffee centers on the south side of the island. the loas will be heavy | among a group of small farmers little ‘prepared to stand it. The unmarketed crop of oranges | and grapefruit was believed to have were been destroyed with groves badly damaged as well. The damage to goods in the warehouses of San Juan, which is the chief distributing center. could not be estimated but it will be heavy. The weather bureau said that both in intensity and duration the storm was the worst that ever hit San Juan and much worse than that recorded at Miami in 1926. i SIX FOUND DEAD INTLL, HURRICANE (Continued from First Page) timated damage total to more than kindness and sympathy shown us in our recent bereavement in the death of our husband and father, Fred- erick Henrickson.

Big Cloud The twister, described as a mon- strous funnel-shaped cloud that lifted and swooped as it progressed, entered the southwest limits of the city, mowing a path from 50 to 300 feet wide on its whirl through the | city to the Grant highway. The tornado first hit the factory section where chair factory “B" is located. The fourth fleor of the structure was swept off and the walls of the building bulged out by the terrific wind that moved the en- tire biuldings some 30 feet, the west portion falling over the dry kiln structure. The payroll for Chair Factory “B" contained 113 names. It 18 believed more than 50 of these men escaped when the tornado { izt struck, but it is not known how many more were able to get out of the building, where power lines and tottering walls made rescue work extremely precarious during night. ‘Two hundred firemen. policemen deputy sheriffs and highway police the | 8t.

Bearchlights were used, Lut the condition of the structure precluded any organized relief work. Hospitals were established at the scene of the disaster. Misses Schools The twister came within a block and a half of three grade schools, in which there were more than 1,000 children. Frantic mothers ran down the streets the storm had traversed looking for their children. Many blocks were untouched by the wind which lifted and then dropped in its journey. Reperts of remarkable escapes were heard everywhere. C. J. Wes- terberg, paymaster of the chair fac- tory, was passing out money to men in the lumber yards when the blast struck. “It was like a fire flashing in front of me," he said. “I thought it was the end. The lumber cover- ed me and I would be dead now if the men had not rushed to heilp me and pull the timber away.” Some workmen who escaped from the chair factory told of machinery sliding along the floor and then crashing through the girders. Some of the men climbed out windows, saying that they had to dedge great posts and flying splinters. Work- men at the Union furniture factory #aid they believed one of their com- rades was buried beneath a high water tank that fell through the basement.
