family at a loss of $150.00. The
next day he insured through us.
The cost of his insurance for

Within a very short lime these four
hundred million little fighters will be
embattled against (he enemy. Karh j

so thin you eould press one of them
between your thumb and fourflnger

how they can fight! They have put
billions of the enemy to rout In the
last nine years saving thousands of
American lives. These soldiers are
commonly known as Red Cross Christ

l« realized from their sale goes to
fight the white plague In America.
Already burdened with colosal dut
ies in the greatest military war in the
history of mankind, the Red Cross Is

fight between these little red men and
tuberculosis. Well over a million of
dollars, It Is estimated will be realiz
ed from (he sale of this year’s some

stamp out this enemy of America's
public health. The Red Cros3 seals
Battle of Christmas Is confined to the
holidays, hut It yields funds enough
to carry on the fight the year round.
Between 1908 and 1916 the total re
ceipts from the stamps was consider
ably more than $4,000,000. Because
of the constantly growing popula-lty
of the seals, last year’s order for 2!56.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21—The sur
prising news was forthcoming from
Adjutant General H. P. McCain today
that America has no National anthem
hymn or air by the provisions of any
federal law. Army and Navy regula
tions constitute tho only authority
for proclaiming The Star Spangled
Banner the national air. No federal
court of law need recognize It as
such.
Army and navy regulations are bind
ing only upon the personnel of the
arpiy and navy. “However,” said the
General, “the custom of rising and
remaining uncovered while the Star
Spangled Banner is being played is
growing In favor among civilians.
“Among army and navy men it is
obligatory. "Whenever the National
air is played at any place where per
sons belonging to the military or na
val service are present, all officers
and enlisted men not in formation
ire required to stand at attention,
facing toward the music, excepting
when the flag is being lowered at sun
pet, on which occasion they are re
mlred to face toward the flag.
“If In civilian dress und uncovered,
hoy are required to stand and salute
at the fipst note of the air, retaining
their position of salute uirril the last
note of the air is played. “If in civ
ilian dress and covered, they are re
quired to stand up and uncover at
the first note of the air, holding the
head dress opposite the left shoulder
until the last note is played, except
in inclement weather, when the head
dross may be held slightly ruised."
