FLAG OF 255 STARS
Greeted by the cheers of 2000 or
more persons, a service flag contain
ing 254 blue and one silver stars was
raised at the Church of the Holy
Name of Mary, at 7 o'clock Monday
evening. Archbishop Shaw blessed,
the flag and made an address, while
Mayor Behrman acted as master of
ceremonies.
The event was one of the most elab
orate ever held in the Fifth District
and the church grounds formed an
impressive setting. Music was pro
vided by the United States naval sta
tion band and there were present
many men of the army and navy.
The ceremonies opened with an ad
dress by the Very Rev. Father T. J.
Larkin, S. M., rector of the church.
who called upon Mayor Behrman to
preside as chairman. The mayor
praised the pepple of Algiers for their
many evidences of patriotism, point
ing to the handsome results of the
Red Cross, Liberty Loan and other
drives.
"But," said the mayor, "no greater
evidence of patriotism can be shown
than is represented by this service
flag with its 255 stars, showing what
the C'atholic fathers and mothers of
Algiers have done in giving their boys
to Uncle Sam in his tight against
kalserism."
Very Rev. Jules B. Jeanmard, vicar
general of the diocese, delivered the
invocation. "America" was sung by
the entire assemblage. including the
school children and Knights of Col
umbus. The latter attended in a body.
Blessing of the flag by Archbishop
Shaw followed, after which the arch
bishop made an address.
"Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean"
was sung by the audience and an ad
dress by Hon. Ed. Rightor brought
the ceremonies to a close. The flag
was then carried from its place on
the balcony of the rectory, where it
was guarded by men of the army and
navy, to the flagpole and raised by
Harriet J. Muntz, the 7-year-old daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter E. Muntz.
The silver star on the flag is in hon.
or of Charles Rupp, son of Peter
Rupp of McDonoghville. who died in
New York several weeks ago while
en route to France.
Following the ceremonies, the mem
bers of the Naval Station band and
other soldiers and sailors who attend
ed the event were guests of the con
gregation in St. Mary's hall, where re
freshments were served by the mem
bers of the Red Cross.
The arrangement of the stars is un
ique, forming the insignia of the
church.
Mr. Peter Muntz deserves much
credit for his work In connection with
the service flag. He worked earnest
ly for the cause and should feel proud
of the success of the affair.

USEC OF SERVICE STAR8
EXPLAINED.
How should a servic6 flag be
marked forone who has "passed on"
while in the service of the counary?
Numerous inquiries about this
matter made to a local flag dealer
caused her to write to a large ser
vice flag house in Chicago asking
for the correct rules. She received
the following reply:
"In reference to the information
regarding service flags, these flags
were originally made with only blue
stars, Indicating one of a family or
firm fighting for the cause of de
mocracy.
"A white star on the red border
or a white star covering the blue
star, just showing the edge of the
blue, indicates death while in the
service.
"The gold.star is also used in this
manner but is used more strictly by
the people to indicate an officer in
the service. A silver star 'on the
red border is ' supposed to indicate
one who has been injured or dis
abled. The red cross indicates one
in the service with the Red Cross

WOMAN HURT IN RUSH FOR
8TREET CAR SEATS,
Mrs. C. Bialas, of McDonoghville,
formerly of Slidell Ave., was the
victim of a peculiar accident during
a rush for seats in a Spanish Port
train Sunday night.
A woman ahead of Mrs. Bialas,
whose name was not learned, acci
dentally kicked Mrs. Blais in the
stomach as she scrambled to mount
to the platform of the car. The in
Jured woman was rendered uncon
blous for a time. A Charity Hos
bltal ambulance met the Spanish

tution, where it was found that she
had sustained a severe contusion and

BUY EARLY IN THE DAT
In compliance with the resolution
adopted at the last meeting of the
Retail Grocers Association, the re
tall groceries of our town have de
cided to close their places of busi
ness at 7 p. m., instead of 8 p. m.,
as heretofore.
This is in accordance with the
government's request to eliminate
the neceslity 'for Itsing lights as
much as possible. Everyone is alive
to the fact that each little act
counts in the great matter of win
ning the war and no one should re
fuse to co-operate with the grocers
in this effort. Therefore let each
person decide to visit the grocery
before 7 p. m. and also to arrange
to have their orders sent in early
in the day, so that the retailers and
their clerks can have an extra hour
of daylight free from business cares.

ready secured him several contracts.
Although this work may be % lit
