The American Flag.

On TIE 3th day Of April, 1918, the pres
ent flag of the United Stdes WAS hoisted for
the first time over the hall Of the House Of
Representatives. This day is, consequently,
the fortiSth anniversary of the flag, as adop-
ted and established by an act OF Congre.. ap-
proyod April 4, 1918. 1t was designed by
Capt. Sam. G. Reid, who in 1914, when in
command of the privateer Gen. Armstrong,
fought with British fleet the most brillisnt
naval engagement to be found on record
Having thus sustained the honor of his coun-
try's escutcheonsno one could have been found
more worthy of being the author Of the flag,
which now floats over the Union.
Previous TO the adoption of the present flag
by Congress the number Of stripes in the old
flag had been increased to eighteen, sccord-
ing to the number Of States admitted into the
Union, thus destroying the beauty and per-
.picuity Of the flag; and while this order wss
preserved in some, Others contained but nine
stripes, as fancy dictated On the admission
Of Indiana into the Union, in 1916, Mr.. Peter
LII. Wendover, Of New York, offered resolu-
ton "that a committee be appointed TO in
quire into the expcdiency Of altering the flag
Of the United States" A committee was ap.
pointed, who reported bill on the I'd Janua-
the committee had the matter under oonsid-
Grafton, Mr.. Wendover called on Capt Reid,
who was in Washington at the time, and re-,
quested him to form a design of our flag 20
as to represent the increase of the States with.
out destroying its distinctive character, as the
committee were about to increase the stars
and stripes to the whole number Of Statcs.-
Capt. Reid recommended that the stripes b
reduced to the original number of thirteen
States, and to form the number Of stars rep
resenting the whole number of States intoone
great star in the Union, adding one star fos
every new State, thus giving the significant
meaning to the fug, symbohcally expressed,
of"E Pluribus Unum." This design Of Capt,
Rsid's was adopted in committee, but the 6ill
did not pass until the next Congress, in 1915.
