DESIGNS REQUIRED TO BE SUB

Some time ago Department Head
quarters of Alaska sent out to each
post mimeographed copies of the
rules and regulations governing the

all of the Legion posts in Alaska are
'sponsoring. The contest is open to
I puples in the seventh and eight
grades and the high school in all of
Alaska’s schools—public, private, par
.
‘ochial and native.
The October, 1926, issue of the Na
tional Geographic Magazine contains
j designs in colors of the various state
| flags. It is quite probable that this
number may be found either in the
(public library or in a private library
: in the majority of Alaska communi
! ties. If so, flag designers may obtain
[some idea of what the various states
j have considered to be desirable de
1 signs for the official emblems.
Rules Governing the Contest
Following are the rules governing
the contest, as prepared by the Am
erican Legion and forwarued to the
!various Legion Posts:
The contest is being held for the
purpose of securing a design for Al
laska’s flag, which the American Le
gion in Alaska will endeavor to have
adopted by the Territorial legislature
'as the official flag of the Territory.
All the states and territories of the
United States, except Alaska, have
an official flag.
The contest is open to all children
who are in the seventh and eight
grades and high schools of the pub
lic, private and native schools in Al
! aska.
One member of the local American
Legion post, the school superintend
ent (principal or teacher,) and one
! other citizen (preferably a member
of the school board or P. T. A.) shall
| constitute a local board of judges,
fwho will choose the ten best designs
| and forward them to J. T. Petrich,
Department Adjutant, The American
Legion, Juneau, Alaska, foi1 submis
sion to the Final Awards Committee.
In towns -where there is a Legion
post, this committee will be appoint
ed by the post commander. In towns
w’here no Legion post exists, the
school superintendent (principal or
teacher) shall be the chairmen and
he or she shall select two other citi
zens for this committee, who will act
as local judges in selectiing the ten
best designs. The designs should be
mailed so as to reach the Depart
ment Ajutant, The American Legion,
Juneau, Alaska, not later than March
1, 1927.
It is recommended that designs be
submitted on plain paper, size 8 and
one half by 11 inches; also that con
testants draw the designs thereon in
ink, observing such proportions as to
length and breadth as shall apply to
the proposed flag when enlarged.
Designs may be submitted in color
or, if desired, the contestant may
write in the proper places on the de
sign the color proposed. In case the
seal of the Territory of Alaska Is

Executor at his residence in Dilling

MICH LAW STEMS
STREAM OF ELOPERS
ISSUE FEW LICENSE
DETROIT, Feb. 14. (/P)—Eloping
to Michigan has lost much of its nov
elty for Ontario and Ohio couples.
A law effective a year ago re
quires that names of applicants for
marriage licenses be published for
five days before the ceremony is
performed. Four thousand fewer li
censes were issued here in 1925 prin
cipally because Windsor, Chatham
and Walkerville, Ont., couples went
elsewhere to wed when the law took
effect.
Monroe, Mich., near the Ohio bord
er, issued less than haalf as many
licenses last year as the year before,
and other border towns count heavy
decreaases. Ohio couples now marry
in their own state where no delay is
required, and many Michigan couples
go to Ohio. Meanwhile Ontario has
made its marriage laws more rigor
ous, forestalling those who would go
from Michigan to Canada to wed.
’IGKBROW” TOMMY
ATKINS IS WANTED
ALDERSHOT, England, Feb. 14.
(/P)—Something a bit more highbrow
for the British Tommy to sing than
“Tipperary” and “Whitewash on the
Wall” is wanted by the British ramy
authorities.
Realizing that organized singing
helps men to march well even when
fatigued, efforts of recent months
have been centered on encouraging
the boys in barracks to tackle such
songs as “Oh, Who Will O’er the Down
With Me” and “Forty Years On” and
“The Comrades Sing With Hope.”
To further the plan of better vocal
efforts it is suggested in “Infantry
Training” that community singing in
the Army shall be revived.
After treatment to remove harm
ful toxins, blood of certain animals
may be used for direct transfusion
to humans.
made a part of the design it may be
indicated by a circle labled as su?.h.
The name, age, and address of
each contestant shall appear in pen
cil on the reverse side of his design.
The Department Executive Com
mittee of The American Legion in
Alaska will select the Final Awards
Committee.
In making the aw'ard for the best
design, the Final Awards Committee
will not take into account the excel
lence of the art work appearing upon
designs, but will be guided by the
idea conveyed and by the suitability
of the design for use in an official
Alaska flag.
The winner of the contest will re
ceive a gold watch on the back of
which will be enameled his or her
design of the Flag, and the case of
which will be suitably engraved. The
pupil whose design is adjusted sec
ond best will receive a cash prize of
$15, and the pupil whose design, is
adjusted third best will receive a
cash prize of $10.
An effort will be made by The Am
erican Legion in Alaska to have the
winning design adopted as Alaska's
official Flag by the Territorial legis
lature at its session in 1927. Should
the design be so adopted, The Ameri
can Legion will endeavor to have the
legislature appropriate funds with
which to send bo winner of the con
test to Washington, there to present
the first flag of Alaska to the Presi
dent of the United States
FEEDING WILD HORSES
TO Ml HENS
ELKO, Nev., Feb. 14. (IP)—Broncho
meat is the diet of many of Peta
luma’s poultry population.
The California egg producing dis
trict has imported four car loads of
live horses, which, passing through
Mound Valley and Star Valley, Cal.,
were converted into chicken feed
and served to Petaluma’s hens.
The animals, rounded up on the
desert and plains near here, brought
less than the price of a turkey. Full
grown animals aboard the cars sold
for $5 each while colts were worth
only $2.50.
Pennsylvania, considered chiefly an
industrial state, has more money
