MAKING Mffl FUGS Uncle Sam Does a Big Business In the Bunting Line. OWNS HIS OWN FACTORIES.

All th« Standards Uaad In tha Army and Navy and on Qovammant BuildInpa Aro Mad* at tha Brooklyn and Mara Island Navy Yards. The making of over 400 different kinds of flags for nse In the nary, at army posts and on government building* In tbs United States Is a pretty Mg job. Moat of these flags are mads at the Brooklyn navy yard, where an up to date chop la maintained by the government for the work. Practically all of the flags for the needs of the Atlantic coast and Interior poets and building* are made here. Flag! required for the Pacific coast ore made at the Maro Island navy yard. No government ship or building can be without Its Stars and Stripes, and. ao one connected with the eerrlce la willing to fly a tattered or patched flag Consequently the Gag making Industry of the United States government is an Important one. On seeing a battleship In fun dress one can easily 1 marine how much bunting Is required to be carried In the ship's lockers. Such a ship Is sn inspiring sight In addition to flags for signaling purposes, each battleship must be *qnlpi«d with au extensive array of flags for official occasion*. In the ceremonial outfit there are alvmt 250 flags. Bach battleship carries more than forty foreign flags each X by 13 feet. For Its flag making the government buys the beat bunting, but weather and constant use wear out flags. A naval regulation requires that each ship shall hare a complete outfit every three year* and oftener If needed. Nothing but wool bunting la used In the manufacture of the flags, and It Is eobjected to a chemical and physical test before It la accepted for use. The first test eon slats of ao*king the burning In soap and water and then expoMug It to the waather for ten days. Thirty hours of this time the material must I* In bright sunshine. If the bunting Maud* this teat then It Is accepted and aent to the cutting rooms. Tbosa rooms present n colorful and Interesting picture. Many modern Betsy Bosses may be seen busily en gaged in assembling the flag* of a foreign country or putting the forty-eight stars on the Bur* and Stripes. Much of the sewing is done by machinery, but many expert needlewomen are necessary, for tho flag master does not throw away any flag thee can be neatly mended to do further service. All flags are cut from measuremenu arranged on chalk lln«« and markers on tha floor. The first basting U usually done on the floor also, as here stri|« and pieces can be more conveniently handled in this way. The final sewing is done on machinea. It was but a few yearn ago that Unde Bam decided to make hi* own Sags. Today he ha* a specialized force, with each workman doing the part best suited to him. Many women are employed. Some excel in making stars, others In stripes, and some do their hast work oi a complicated em Mem of a foreign ntry. Machinery la used to cut the many thousand* of stars required on Old Glory. E'ght sizes are required, varying from fourteen to two Inches across The flag of the president requires the moat labor, and a woman takes a full month In putting one together. This flag, constating of a blue ground with the coat of arms of the United Bute? In the center, la hand sewed. It take* days of patient stitching to place the Ufa ailed eagle with Its great wings OUtttmched. This flag la made In tw o alaea, 10 by 14 and 3 by 5 feet. It la the making of some of the foreign flag* that tare* the ahlhty of Uncle Bam * best workmen. For color and emblems he has to get ape rial material. Borne of the Latin countries, although small la power, have el*berate flags. The dragon flag of China eon alats of 20b separate pieces, which must be carefully assembled and neatly finished. The flag of San Sa •- rnlor is very expensive to make. After each flag is finished by the workmen a beading Is sewed on and the border t» stamped with the name of the flag. The master flag maker then passe? < a It. after which It goes to the storekeeper of the navy yard for distribution - New* York Sun.

CURING TIRED FEET.

usage on hard pavwmsots If the foot is kept In a proper position while walking. But the out toeing poattioa takes j the strain off the outer portions pt tho foot, and thus the muscles ••* weakened eventually through lack of Batumi exercise. The beat way to correct this and at the same time correct the tendency to falling arches Is by cult!ratting the habit of walking and standing with the feet held parAlel. This Is particularly helpful to persons who aro obliged to stand for prolonged periods at their work. In addition thers are two simple ex- i ere 1 sea which will strengthen the foot muadea and wrrd off the tendency to' fatigue If practiced for a few moments each day. One of these consists in toeing in as much as possible—walking club footed—and walking a boat the room for one minute several times each day. This position puts the strain on the muscles of the outside of the foot, thus too lug them up and strengthening them. The ctrala win be apparent any one the first time be tries this exaggerated form of pigeon toed tlon. But the ultimate result wtU be a pronounced strengthening and straightening of the feet, with a tendency to assume unconsciously a natural position la walking and standing. The second exercise consists In throwing the weight of the body on to the outside of the feet by standing with the legs crossed end the feet held parallel. This position should be assumed for several minutes each day and la often found very restful to persons obliged to stand In cramped quarter*. By bending the knee* and walking about the room with the feet still In this position, al ferns ting with first one foot and thee the other la the lead, the outside foot musc.es may be strengthened very rapidly. If either one or both of theee exercise* are practiced for one minute periods three or four times each day the foot muscle* will be toned up to resist fatigue and the tendency to falling arches that follows almost Invariably. —Ixw Angeles Times.

Good Cultivation.

By C. C. BOWSFIELD. When farmers are disposed to branch out a little and see what can be done to Increase their acreage profits they should study up on strawberries. This Is a reasonably sure crop and pays well. Profit* commonly run as high as $2S0 an acre after allowing for the picking, and there are many records of yields worth $400 to $900 per acre and even more It is a product that can be handled on the average farm to advantage. Ground should be used that has been raising potatoes, corn or some other cultivated crop. A rich soil Is needed, and manure should be plowed under In the fall. Crass land usually contains

Gray Leaved Plants. Next to green, gray Is the restfulest and moat satisfactory color to be had la foliage. We now have so many hardy plants with gray foliage that we can cbooee one for each month of bloom and color of flower. Among them are the silvery milfoil, gold dust, the white and pontile r--okcress, the woolly leaved chick, weed, many hardy pinks, &Mbold> day Illy.

Strawberries demand a moderately Hen. loamy aoU for the best success, but lhay are being grown In a wide range of soils and conditions Almost any soil can be pot Into condition for atrawberrlaa. Fruit like that In picture finds a

many white grubs and is not suitable for strawberries, although late plowing will help It some. While some kinds will do well when poorly fed. there Is hardly one that will not do better on well manured land. Good cultivation with proper tools la absolutely necessary, but It will not take the place of v>me good kind of fertiliser. It Is hard to name the for tillser which cannot be used to advantage. Unleached wood asbes are valuable to those who are propagating now varieties. It will cause runners to grow freely, making a great camber of plants which will be strongly roofed. The land should have been heavily ananured for two or three years If the beat results are to be expected. In spring, as soon as the ground la dry enough to work well, pulverize and harrow until the ground 1* In perfect condition. Mark the ground one way, the rows being four feet apart. Then mark the other way, with rows two feet apart Tho roots of the plant*, set where the row* cross, should go down as deeply as possible in their natural position and must be well firmed by tha pressure of both feet one on each aide of the plant In regular Arid culture use s machine called a firmer, which la run over the rows as soon as set A wheel on each side of the plant firmly presses the earth round the roots without hitting the crown of tha plant This crown.

What an Owner Cannot do

Beyond a certain point an OWNER cannot regulate the CONTRACTOR he employs. You can cage a leopard, but you cannot change his spots or his point of view. But what an Owner CAN DO is to select, in the first place, a Contractor who has an established reputation for integrity, efficiency and results. Edward B.
