GENERAL OBSERVANCE OF FLAG DAY.

INDICATIONS OF THE GROWING POPULARITY OF
THE DISPLAY.
Flag Day was observed in this city yesterday
TO an extent that indicated a growing popularity
OF the display on the anniversary OF the act OF tho
Continental Congress adopting the Stars and Stripes
as the National ensign. That the display OF the
flag was more general yesterday than usual may
have been due 70 the action OF the Empire state
Society OF the Sons Of the American Revolution,
which sent out thousands Of circulars on June 10.
calling attention to the fact that June IA would be
the 10th anniversary, and asking citizens to aid
In the observance of tho day by displaying the flag
on buildings and shipping.
On all public buildings including the schools. the
flag was kept flying from sunrise throughout the
day. and on thousands OF other buildings "Old
Glory" was flung the breeze. In all the public
schools there were special exercises. In which the
singing OF The Star Spangled Banner" was a part
Superintendent Jasper recently directed the princ
pals OF the schools to make preparation for the

This picture reproduced not long ago on the

OF the flag was given at the same time. This first
flag made entirely by hand like a piece OF
patchwork: few flags are now made in that labo-
rious way.

nothing to be done but to tack It upon the staff
For the cheapest kind Of flag made, the design is
printed on calico, and the flags then cut apart
and glued sticks. Several million flags are
used up throughout the country every year, the
greatest demand for them being on Flag Day and
the Fourth OF July.
