Have you ever stopped to think of tbe hypnotic effect of symbols? Of the faet that they have ever ruled mankind tbrougb all the ages, savage and civillzad, ever have men bowed to the reigning fetish or s/mbol of power. Chief among these potent agents or symbols bave been the club, carefully arranged feathers, totem signs, the pipe, tbe sword, the crown, the cross, the gavel, the flag. Among ail these the flag strikes us as being the wisest and broadest yet chosen. But this is largely the effect of teach ing and association.
Other symbols that do not affect us, we see them as' they are, mere matter of fact things that rouse no sentiments save perhaps those of pity for the following of such talse stan¬ dards. They are simply carved wood, iron, brass, metal or cloth, in com¬ binations that mean nothing to us. But a flag, the flag. Our Flag—Ah! that is different. And now the three adjectives used above reHnd and in¬ tensify as they proceed. It is no longer a strip of cotton or silk with alternate bands of colors, and a col¬ lection of five pointed ispots in one corner, ailedged to be stars. Men have lost their lives for treating it as if it were this auu nothing more. If eome cold-hloded stoic says it is hypnotism to treat "Our Flag!' as something sacred, glorious and beau¬ tiful, even so we are glad to be hyp¬ notized.
A number of flags have floated over America anjl demanded allegiance; Columbus brought the flag of Spain, then came the banner of England, of France, of the Dutch Republic, later the blue and yellow of the Swedish National flag. The really authentic history of our national flag begins June 14th, 1777, by the American Congress adopting a formal resolu¬ tion to that effect, and it was carried into battle the same year by Conti¬ nental Troops.
We were walking down the street one sunny morning. My companion was an aged man wearing a little bronze button of the Grand Army. Suddenly a great flag floated out just above and in front of us. I regarded it with miid interest and lifted my hat because the veteran raised his.
"Ah yes," I said lightly, "It is a legal holiday and Old Glory comes to the front." I. glanueu at my com¬ panion, his face was pallid with emo¬ tion; hie lips trembled IJke a grieved child, and two great tears roiled down his thin cheeks.
"Have I offended?" I cried. He shook his head and struggleu for self-control; "Pardon me," he said gently. ¦ "There are few things that move me now but one of them ia the sight of the Flag." I suppose that each individual passes through the evolution of the race. There must have been a time long before writing was common when symbols meant much. We are not entireiy beyond this stage yet. We still have the symbol of the cross for marty- dom, the scales fyr Juptice, the scep¬ tre for power, the crown for victory. To those who followed our'Flag for the four terrible years of the War of the Rebellion, I think it means more than to any others. We saw it float in battle, ine saw it go down in ter¬ rible defeat> saw it snatciied from dead hands b^iiving ones when the act meant that another life would be the price of advancing the flag a single rod.
We saw it draped above tho dead lomrade who had answered earthly roli call for the iast time. We watched it throuKh days of toil and bights of waking. We followed where the flag ied.
I saw if floating in the bright July sunshine above a regiment of nearly five hundred men. In ten short hours, only ninety-two blackened, weary inen answered "Here." Every man was wounded and bleeding. I saw it carried over great heaps of dead and dying men. We followed it over long, weary dusty roads, up above clinging clouds, over the mountains and down through sunny valleys, by smoking homes and through ruined cities, by desolate hearths and misery unspeakable, by children that had forgotten how to play, by women who mourn for the brave who would come no more.
I have seen men that looked as Lazarus must when he came forth from the grave, come forth from that living grave—^a Southern prison, and falling on their knees thank God for a sight of Our Fiag. By dark la- eoons, through dreary swamps, by lonely rushing rivers, over quiet water that flashed baclc its colors and beauty in, cold and heat, sunshine and tempest, we followed where the Flag led.
And at last, at last, when the vic¬ torious^ legions marched through the btreets of tbe capitol, amid the blare cf music, the showers of lauroi and roses and the wild Joy of the multi¬ tude, the sunshine of heaven seemed ever to fall the brightest and softest upon the "Old Flag."
In a few daya we shall gather un¬ der its folds once more to lay flowers upon lhe graves of our fallen com¬ rades. To give them once more that full measure of devotion that has ever increased in our hearts for the last half century.
"So a sudden sight of our Flag ever moves me to teara .and memory car¬ ries me back decades into the past."

The motor car registration com¬ piled by Secretary of Btate Francis M. Hugo, and recorded herewith, show that more cars have been reg¬ istered so far this year than during all of last year, or 50,0^0 over the same period in 1914. nearly twice as many as 1913, and four times the number recorded in 1910, when the present act took effect.
In the face of the general heavy slump in trade this progress certain¬ ly must be considered as most grati- tylng.
