WILL HOOVER VARY PRESIDENT'S FLAG Wilson Made Eagle Wariike by Turning s Head Philadelphia, Feb. 26 UP—Seam- stresses at the United States quar- termaster's depot here have raised & question about President-Elect Hoover's intentions regarding the future of the president ag. Will he change the delt‘n\. they ask, or will he stick to the present emblem, which was made In accord- ance with the order of President ilson. wAll the flags for the president and his official family and the army are manufactured at the quarter- master's depot and it is the presi- dent’s prerogative to select or pre- pare a design for his own flag. The modern Betsy Rosses are in- terested, also, in what Mr. Hoover may do for two other reasons. One is that Woodrow Wilson was the last president to order a new design. Both President Roosevelt and Presi- dent Taft had distinctive flags, but the war president’s successors, Hard- ing and Coolidge, have used the me de: 3 “Anoth‘e‘r‘“re-wn for their interest is that on the Wilson flag the eagle of the United States coat-of-arms had its head turned toward the claw hoMing a number of arrows, sym- bolic of war and away from the claw holding an olive branch, sym- bol of peace. At the time the Wilson flag w dcsigned, the direction of the eagl head toward the arrows caused some comment and later was look- ed upon by some as prophetic. President Harding and President Coolidge retained the war presi- dent's standard unchanged but whether Mr. Hoover may desire a change in view of the symbolism temains to be seen. All the flags for the president are made by hand, expert scamstresscs embroidering the coat-of-arms. Their task, they say, is not without thrills, Miss Jean Erskine claims the honor of having worked on the flags of three presidents—Roosevelt, Taft and Wilson, President Wilson's flag which has done service for thres administra- tions, has a blue fleld with the coat- of-arms in the center, d four white stars at right angles well within the field. Feathers of the eagle are white shaded with black, another point in which the Wilson flag differed from those of the predecessors. President Taft's flag was sub- st ntially the same, with the major difference that the eagle’s head faced the olive branch. President Roosevelt's flag stood out in sharp coptrast, having & red field instead of blue. The paleways of perpen- dicular stripes in the shield on the breast of the eaglo were blue, whereas In the Taft and Wilson flags they were red. Victims of Slasher Total 25 in Boston Boston, Feb. 6 (UP)—In his eleventh-hour fight for life, George E. H, Taylor, known as the “danc- ing barber,” today had the support of the father of the girl for whose murder he is doomed to die in the slectric chair next week. Stanislau Pomikala, father of Stella Pomikala of Laurence, who was slain at Balisbury Beach on June 6, 1927, has written to Gover- nor Frank G. Allen, asking that Taylor's sentence be commuted to life imprisonment, Attorneys Francis E. Rafter of Salem and John H. O'Nell of Ames- bury, representing Taylor, appeared before Ggvernor Allen yesterday in a final plea for the life of the condemned man, O'Nell argued that the evidence against Taylor was cir- cumstantial and far too flimsy to warrant sending the itinerant hr~“ ber to the chair, The governor gave no indication as to when his decision would be forthcoming.

FURTHER TROUBLE FEARED IN CHINA Nationalist Circles in Canton Un- ¢asy Over Revolt Rumors Shanghai, China Feb. 26 P—Fcar in Canton that the nationalits gov- ernment might soon attempt to com- pel allegiance by force of arms is {believed to be responsible for the recent disorders in Hunan. Both in Canton and the cities of Hankow, Wuchang and Hanyang have appeared two young and ambi- tious miltary commanders who are expected to control four southern provinces and to put up stiff opposi- tion to any effort by Nanking at consolidation. Along with the outbreak of the Shantung revoit, scores of rumors of uprisings in various localities and splits within the nationalist govern- ment itself, there is a general feel- ing of uneasiness in nationalist circles. Various factions in many localities are even reported to be strengthening their alignments in the event of untoward developments. Although the nationalist govern- ment outwardly is supported by the leading military commanders, un- derneath exists currents of faction- alism. Radjeal elements which have been strongly opposing the govern. ment also are taking the lead in at- tempts at consolidation hoping to wield a strong influence at the com- ing Kuomintang national congress which opens March 5. These groups seek to control the government. If this should happen, the conserva- tives express belief that China is destined to rencwed disorders.

Last year he gained distinction in the world of surgery when he grafted a portion of the membrane from a woman's lip to form a new eyelid as a result of which she was cured from a painful eye malady. Dr. Kupelian was born in Aintab, Armenia. He ‘matriculated at the American college in his native city, where he received his B. A. degree, after which he enrolled in the American University at Beirut, on the shores of the Mediterranean sea. The province of Beirut was under Turkish control but a protectorate extended over the college. It was this fact that saved the life of the young medical student when his en- tire family was slaughtered in the home at Aintab.

In full realization of the dangers before him in the event that he should fail, Dr. Kupelian fied from the City of Adana, boarded a train heading in the general direction of the British army cantonment and eventually reached his goal. He was sheltered until he had opportunity to plan his trip to America. Late in the year 1918, he started off, cross- in the Island of Cyprus, through taly, to France and finally to the United States. With a vivid recollection of life in scctions of the Far East to con- trast with the conditions he has found in the United States, Dr. Ku- pelian has become an ardent Ameri- canization worker. He has been in- strumental in forming organizations among the Armenian pcople of New Britain and is one of the leading members of the Armenian Apostolic church.
