THE RED, WHITE AND BLUE.
How the National Emblem Was
Adopted ll2 Years Ago.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-It was on the
l4th day of June, 1777, that the Continental
Congress passed this resolution:
"That the flag Of the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the
union be thirteen stars, white in blue field rep
resenting new constellation"
1t does not appear that there was any de-
bate on this proposition, nor is it certain
whether the resolution was offered by an in
dividual or by a committee. But at all events
the 14th of June is the day when the first
legislation occurred for the adoption of a ma
tional flag.
The late Rear Admiral Preble describes
Philadelphia military flag, which had previ-
ously used thirteen stripes in the corner,
with different device for the main body of
the flag; and he also says that the number
had already wrought itself into various typi-
cal devices. Accordingly it was natural that
the people should take the familiar
red union ensign, and, retaining the union
jack in the corner, change the red field to 13
stripes, alternate red and white, emblematic
of the new Union. The actual raising of the
flag followed upon the appointment Of a
committee, consisting Of DR.. franklin, Mr..
Lynch and Mr.. Harrison, to consider the
subject of common flag, and this committee
had assembled at the camp at Cambridge.
When, therefore, on the 14th of June,
1777, Congress passed its resolution, the
stripes were already familiar; but the combi-
ton with them of as many stars in the cor
ner as there swere States was new. The
resolution of Congress found its way into
the newspapers about six weeks after 1t was
passed, and on September g. 1777, it was Of
ficially promulgated by the Secretary. 1t
was not until 1918 that Congress made pro-
vision for adding a star for each new State
admitted to the Union.

Cotton Seed Oil.

In the United States cotton oil Is
made from the decorticated and crushed
upland cotton-seed, by expression this
process yielding an odorless Cark
brownish. green oil having specific
gravity of about !22i. Being then
treated with alkaline solutions gener-
ally containing potash or soda, the
clear yellow oil, which is odorless ar"
fayorless and has the same specific
gravity as the crude, is drawn of by
racking, and the rcsiduum, which is
called soap stock, is treated in a suitable
manner.
The present consumption Of cotton
seed for oil-n.alling purposes is about
500, coo tons a year, from which there
are made about $4,000, 600 gallons,
worth about thirty cents PER gallon in
the refined condition.
