Any Kind of Sandwich A Invent

Hungry? That ia the pert and to
the-point question asked by the at
tractive, electrically-lighted little man
on the top of the glass case surmount
ing the new Butter-Kistwick Ma
chine installed yesterday by the Gib
i son Drug Oonjpany.
This new machine is for the toast
ing of all kinds of sandwiches. Its
base is a small grill upon which the
sandwiches are placed for the process
of toasting. The electric heat that
arises quickly toasts the bread a gold
en brown and if the filling of the
sandwich is cheese, it draws said
cheese up into the [lores of the bread, j
Above the grill is a glass container,'
rising perhaps two feet. This con
tainer is for the display of the sand
wiches. The toasting process is a
matter of only a few seconds.
This is only the third machine of
its kind that has been 'nstalled in the
State. The ’Cabarrus Drug Company
will have one within a few days.
Better Stay Out When Told.
Ashevile, June 12. —When the fair
er sex says “Stay out”, it is usually
best to agree.
This was the lesson learned in court
by Herman Schindler, Asheville mer
chant, when he started out to collect
a bill and ended up by owing one
to the city.
Schindler went to the home of an
Asheville woman to collect payment
for an overcoat her son had bought.
The son had joined the navy after
purchasing the garment, and Schindler
apparently thought the boy's’ mother
would be more apt to pay the bill than
Uncle Sam.
He rapped on the door. He re
ceived no reply.
"Stay out. I'm dressing,” came
a voice from inside.
He went in anyway, it was charged,
and was fined SIOO ill courts.

THINGS TO KNOW
ABOI’T FLAGS
Monday is Flag Day Throughout the
t inted States and Its Possessions. I
Washington. D. 0.. June 12—j
Monday will be observed throughout .
the United States and its territorial [
and insular possessions as “Flag !
Day,” in commemoration of the j
adoptioin of the Stars and Stripes ns !
the national Hag on June 14. 1777. j
The custom of setting apara a day
each year for such ■ observance origi
nated with Professor George Bnleh
of New York City. Professor Baleh
conducted a private school and on
every 14th of June he held special
erereises of a patriotic character and
every pupil carried it Hag.
The man who claims to know all
about flags will have to look to his
laurels, for of late, mainly on ac
count of the provisions of various
peace treaties. thgre have been
numerous additions to.rueh emblems.
Some of the new flags of- the var
ious nations are interesting innova
tions. inasmuch as they depart from
established usage. In general, the de
signers of flags use only red, white,
[blue, yellow, and blnck, and strictly
observe the laws of heraldry. If, for
instance, it is desired-to have yellow
in a flag, it is necessary, to be in or
der, to have black also. The correct
combination appears in the Belgian
flag. But the new Belgian Royal
Standard sets tradition and usage at
detiiance. It is purple, with a gold
shield in the middle, surmounted by
u crown.
Some of the. new national Hags,
morever. are distinetive without
being indicative. They have been
created in nearly as haphazard as
were many house flags of the great
steamship companies.
Well-known national flags were
not created in this casual manner.
When Napoleon made Italy a kind
dom, he decided to have a flag
which distinctive, should indicate by
its close resemblance to that of
France, the source to which it owed
existence. The result was the tri
color of green, white, and red. Wiis
flag, though suppressed on the down
fall of Napoleon, was revived by the
Italian Nationalists in 1848, and,
with the addition of the arms of
savoy, accepted by the King of
Sardinia as the ensign of New Italy.
Perhaps the most elaborate, and
therefore most perplexing. national
flag is that of Tibet, because, apart
from the main design, which is
curiously complex, the spaces in it
are filled up with alternate triangles
of red and blue.
It is a fact not generally known
that the United States, the youngest
of the great nations, has one of the
! oldest national flags of them all.
Among the European nations Den
mark is the only one whose national
flag antedates the Stars and Stripes.
The British flag popularly known as
the Union Jack was officially adopt
ed by act of Parliament in 1707, hut
since that date it has undergone
some changes before icaching its
present form. The Spanish flag in its
present form was adopted in 185, I
the French in 1704, the Italian in
1848, the German in 1871, and the
Chinese in 1878- Previous to the
World War the newest flag was the
, Australasian, which slinnV the five
stars of the Southern Cross, and re
sembles a blend of the Union Jack
j and the Stars and Stripes.
11 Tile Danish flag, oldest of all the
• national ensigns, has had an nterest
ing history. The design of a white
cross on a red ground was suggested
, to King Waldemar of Denmark by a
cross which he is believed to have
, seen in the heavens at a critical
jKiint in his fortunes. That was
more than seven hundred years ago,
and the Danish flag has remained
unaltered ever since.
