It Is older than Bri tain's "Union Jack" and the French trl-color. It was officially adopted by the Continental congress of the United States on June 14. 1777. and has since been honored throughout the world. .The Information available on the origin of the American flag, says a writer In the Washington Post, Is more a matter of tradition than of history. It Is an emblem born of strife, at the time when England's colonies were Struggling to obtain fairer treatment and a larger meas ure Of liberty. The alms of this struggle were not clearly defined In the beginning.

The clubwomen of Tnppnhannock In Essex county, Va., have for sev eral years been using as their club house the old debtors' prison, built In 1720. At the time the building was erected the town, which had been named Hobbs His Hole, had been re cnristened rsew Plymouth; not until 1808 was the name changed to Tap pahannock. The old building Is typical of the Jail of Its period, when confinement in prisons was supplemented by out door punishments for wrongdoers. In those days the ears of hog thieves were nailed to the pillory on which the prisoners were tortured. Two thousand pounds of tobacco was the fine for giving false news. To be in debt was moderately respectable, then as now, jet men were put In Jail for It. The New world started with very little cash In hand. Lack of money was general In those times of barter. Many a man came to Virginia in early days who had to work out his passage after he reached his desti nation. Fortune that was founded on the crop was precarious. There were a dozen reasons why the Col onists needed so many debtors' pris ons. In that first settled part of old Virginia debtors' jails were plentiful. Many remain as mute witnesses to the hard life men lived then. The old Jail in Gloucester was built In 1750. Dr. W. C. Stiihba. nimmoe. ter historian and antiquarian, said: "The Vlrginin laws required every county court, ot the county's charge, to cause to be built and kept in gopd repair a common Jail or common prison. The law provides that the uunaing snail be built with Iron barred windows "and chimneys, the doors secured with good locks and bars of Iron. The sheriff was ap pointed by the crown afSiorced to serve or forfeit 20 pounds sterling to the. king." Upon this debtors' Jail built In Gloucester, p. w.. Smith, Jr., who occupies it as town clerk, adds an Interesting sidelight -"In 17o a." Is says, ,'tthe county surveyor ,,laid oil SOU tqvnre yards where the prison-, ers. were allowed liberty. i - . r It was not until March 5S5,'1873, that Imprisonment for debt was abol- Ished in the state of Virginia;"1' Up to (hat time laws for tliet;collection of debt which ' were brought ' to Jamestown In 1007 were still In force.

Snoring Described as Disease of Civilization Snoring, observes the Manchester Guardian, has bqen called a disease of civilization, on the ground that savages do not snore because the man who gave audible announcement In that way of the presence of him self and other tribesmen in the neigh borhood of an enemy would get short shrift. With civilization (runs tbe argument) came security, and with security those nasal noises of the night and not of the night onlv, for Lord Ullswater, when he was speak jr, ruled that snoring was out of 6rder in the house of commons There are those who draw fine distinctions between different ways of snoring. When Beau Brnmmell was once traveling from Calais to Paris, he found himself in the com pany ot a . king s messenger, who later said that the Beau slept the whole way, and even snored. But the messenger added what he thought was an extenuating circumstance, that "Mr. Brummell snored very much like a gentleman.".
