So when new States began to appear, Washington added that a new ctripe and a new star be added for each newcomer. By 1818, when territorial expansion was proceeding on a stupendous rcale, it was seen that the flag was about to become an unlovely, cumber some affair, for lt then had twenty fctars and twenty stripes, so Congress enacted a law that gave us the rU.g of today thirteen stripes for the or iginal colonies, and stars arranged In parallel lines on the union, one for each State as it was admitted. The War Department ' determines the or der in which the stars are to be plac ed, and the revised flag comes into official use the Fourth of July follow ing the admission of the State bring ing the star. Many styles and forms ot the stars and stripe flag were in existence up to 1842, and it was not until President Taft's administration that definite specifications were drawn up. On Oct. 23, 1912, an executive order con cerning the flag was made and it pro vided for the specifio arrangement of the stars. They were to be arranged in six horizontal rows of eight stars each. Starting in the upper left-hand corner and- placing each row from left .to right, the star corresponding to each State is named in the order of the States' ratification of the Con stitution. NEW YORK LETTER Dy O. O. Mclntyre Special Correspondent The Dispatch. New York, April 4.

The brothers made $26,000 the first year neJt, but that was not a fair es timate, for in a later year they clean ed up $111,000. The two young men have controlled the hat snatching privileges in 22 hotels and a great many theatres in Manhattan for some time. The tremendous profits show that the "Mad Hatters of Manhattan" had a price on nearly every male hjsad in the city. The Susskind Painles3 Hat Removing Company was organl2ed at the time Joe was pinch hitting at the Hotel Astor. He knew how to snatch a lid, that lad. He was stretching out his palm so well he had no trouble getting his brother Harry on the same team as a regular player.

At one Broadway hotel it is said that hat snatching magnates paid $10,000 for the concession. The check room graft has been de veloped to such a high degree that the patron who comes in with a hat and a walking stick has two checks forced upon him and finds upon leav ing that one attendant brings his hat and another his stick. Year after year the Susskind broth ers have slen their profits increase. In addition to the money profit they accumulated quite an assortment of hats as" the result of the owners not having enough left to pay the poll tax after settling dinner checks. The brothers have been able also to buy two large summer hotels on Long Island. That's about all they have to show for their hard labor. Nearly every man in New York is their cus tomer, y The best story of the week! Frank W. Frueauff, oil and gas magnate, was telling of an aged woman who had lived a sort of squatter's exist ence on a patch of shore at Atlantic Highlands. She had no friends and lived absolutely alone. At night she rocked away In her little hovel. Sometimes she read a little but most of the time she sat in a state of retrospection. She was quite deaf. Over at Sandy Hook is the proving grounds for the great army guns. One evening 48 of the big guns were being tested at the same time. They iere shot off almost simultaneously. There was a reverebrationg boom. The old lady stopped rocking, waited a few seconds' and then yelled "Come in."
