It must come home to the heart of every citizen in this country that "America, the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave," has cause for special rejoicing over the fact that the awful scourge of war has not invaded her borders. The Edison officials, acting in pursuance of Mr. Edison's wish, invited every employee to appear on Flag Day. at 12:05 noon, before the Edison Laboratory and join in honors to the Flag then hoisted on the Laboratory flag-staff, while the cornet bugle was sounded. Chief Engineer Miller Reese Hutchison made a brief, spirited address, which was encored. "The Star Spangled Banner" was then sung by a select number of voices, all joining in the chorus. A cornet soloist furnished the accompaniment. The occasion was the first of the kind at the Edison Works and it is to be hoped the practice may be repeated each Flag Day in coming years. Three cheers for the Red, White and Blue, Three cheers for Mr. Edison, and Three cheers for the reconstructed Edison Works.
