alternate red and white stripes on our

or colonies, from which our country
grew. This number thirteen, coming
down from the remote ages of super

as the forerunner of dire misfortune

Previous to the adoption of a reg
ular United States flag in 1777, there
was wide variety of banners and de-.
vices used by the different detach.
ments of Colonial troops. One of the
most famous of these flags and one
used largely by the Massachusetts
patriots was the rattlesnske flag with
its warning words, 'Don't Tread on
Me-" The snake was sometimes rep
resented as cut into thirteen pieces
and supplemented with the words
"Join or DE-" The color of the flag
was yellow and the rattlesnake black.
The yellow is said to have been sug.
gested by the quarantine flag of Great
Britain, indicative of plague, and the
yellow color and the venomous rattle
snakes were meant to be suggestive OF
far greater danger than a plague to
whoever attacked it. Massachusetts
also had special flag bearing the EN-.
blem of pine tree on white field.
This sometimes bore the motto, "An
Appeal to Heaven" South Carolina
used the palmetto tree as its flag EN-.

tree flags that waved so defsntly from

THE GRAND UNION.
The Grand Union Flag was about
the first attempt to provide for Ma.

Benjamin Franklin and two others
while in the camp of the Continental
troops at Cambridge, in the winter OF
TITS, and it is said to have been
first raised over the camp, January 2.
1776. It contained thirteen white and
red stripes. The Kings colors, the
Cross of the Georges, had been re.
tanned, testifying that the Colonies
were united, but were still ready to
acknowledge the rule of Great Britain,
if the obnoxious taxation laws would
be repealed. But the flag had very
short lease of life for, after the Dec.
laration of Independence on the fol-
lowing Fourth of July, there was no
further use for the banner with the
Kings colors.

both city and country, is not as old
by almost year as the independence
of our land. The United States was
not q country in the usual sense of
the word when the troubles occasioned
by the hateful Stamp Act had broke
out with the mother country, and as
the difficulties grew so that war was
the only method of settling the dis
pute, our Colonial legislators first
busted themselves in asserting their
independence, and it was not until
some time later that the flag, as the
distinctive emblem of the country's
freedom, was chosen.
Every true American surely ought
to be as we'll acquainted with the his
tory of his country's flag as with the
main events which called forth that
remarkable document, the Declaration
of Independence. But until recently
the history of our flag has been prac-
tically ignored. Within the past few
years its birthday, June IA, has been
rescued from oblivion, and given the
place of distinction it ought to have
in the calender of Americas memor-
able days. The 14th of June is now
regularly observed as Flag Day in

The committee appointed by Con-
gress to provide suitable design for
the flag consisted of George Washing
ton, Hon. George Ross, and Robert
Morris, the great Pennsylvania fnan-
cier, who freely gave all of his great
wealth in the cause of his country.
Betsy Ross kept a little upholstering
store and was also one of the best
sesmstresses in the city, so it was ma.
tural that the committee should select
her as the best one to make the flag.
The design which she used was rough
one sketched by Washington in pencil,
andbt is worthy of remark that to
Betsy Ross is due the credit for the
five pointed stars. In the original de.
sign the stars had been made with six
points. Betsy Ross plainly told the
august committee that fve-pointed
stars would look much better, and cut
one from a piece of paper to show how
it looked. The suggestion was adopt
ed, and Betsy made the flag, which

, was greatly admired. She then re-
ceived the contract from the Govern
ment to make all its fugs, for which
she was paid Ella 12s. Sd. apiece, about
$40. The contract was held in this
family for several years, but later her
daughter, who belonged to the Society
of Friends, known as Quakers, OBJ
jected to making flags for war vessels,
although the society's scruples against
warfare never seemed 70 have bothered
Betsy Ross in the peaceful occupation
of making the flags. The thirteen
stars in the original flag were arranged
in circle, emblematic of the perpet-
uity of the Union.
The Stars and Stripes met with uni.
versal favor, and as soon as extra ones
could be made the different detach-
ments Of the American armies were
supplied with them, and from that
time to the close of the war they were
an inspiration to victory and renewed
patriotism.
CHANGES IN THE FLAG.
In 1895 the flag underwent its first
change. Two more States, Vermont
and Kentucky, had been admitted to
the Union, and it was decided to in
crease both the Stripes and Stars to
fifteen. This was done, and for twenty.
three years the flag remained in this
condition. The first United States
ship to unfurl from her masts this
fifteen striped banner was the historic
old battleship Constitution, better
known as "Old Ironsides," which was
built in 1895, and did good service in
the war of 1872.
In 1918 the question of change in
the flag came before Congress again.
Since 1895 five more States had been
admitted to the Union and they
wanted to be represented in some
manner in their country's flag. The
committee in charge of the matter
were first in favor OF increasing the
stars and stripes as had been done be-
fore, but this was objected to by many
on the ground that twenty stripes
make the flag too clumsy. At this
point Captain Samuel G. Reid offered
the suggestion which won for him the
honor OF being styled the father of the
Stars and Stripes as it exists to-day.
His idea was simple and convenient,
however great the number of States
might be in the future. 1t was that
the stripes be reduced to the former
number of thirteen and always remain
so, while the stars be made as numer-
Gus as the States comprising the
Union. On April t, 1918, this plan
was adopted by Congress, and the
first flag under the new idea was made
by Captain Reid's wife.
GRAVE OF FATHER OF The FLAG.
A point of interest that may not be
generally known is that Captain Reid
lies buried in Greenwood Cemetery,
Brooklyn. His grave Is plot 13. los,
near Cypress avenue and Zephyr

year, grant on appropriation to place
suitable monument over the grave.

t1ue naval heroes, and he was famous
