The source from Which the Design
OF the stars and Stripes Came.
The origin of national flags would be
a deep. unfathomably deep subject in
most cases, but our flag, the stars and
stripes. is so young IN this old world
that it is possible TO find out good deal
about its origin; still even ns TO ours we
can only guess how in its first form il
came 10 be just as it was. hut the guess
is so well founded that it ought to sat
isfy Yankees seeking the source of the
Yankee flag. The firstflag of the United
States of America was raised by Wash
ington at Cambridge, Mass, January
=, 1116. 1t consisted of l3 stripes. al
ternate red and white, with q blue field
emblazoned with the crosses of st.
George and st. Andrew. Thenext year
congress substituted 10 white stars for
the congress. Now in Northampton
shire, in England. in n village called
Great Brington, is an old church con-
tanning the tomb of one of George
Washington's ancestors. Ii is in
scribed 10 the memory of Lawrence
Washington, who died in 1Gi6, leaving
behind him (this is on the tomb, mind
you) eight sons and nine daughters.
Two of these sons emigrated to Amer
lea. and from one of them descended
our great man. Several of the WASH
ingtcn family of the same generation
are buried here, and the Washington
coat OF arms is engraved on one. bear
ing an inscription TO "Eliz. Washing
tom" who died in 1922. Now on this
coat of arms appear three stars. with
the stripes or bars beneath them. No
one could see it without being remind
! ed of the "star spangled banner" Tn
| doubtedly when Washington was ar
ranging to raise that flag at Cambridge.
and arranging the flag too. he took the
idea of the stripes from his own old
coat of arms. Not wanting to make the
new banner too personal, SO to speak
he kept in the blue field and the crosses,
used in the British flag. but congress,
when It took up the subject, was pleased
to follow the old ~oat of arms that be-
lonecd to the great general. who was
fighting for them, and substituting the
beautiful stars for the crosses that the
rcdcoats carried. Charles Sumner
took deep interest in all these traces
of tho Washington family in England,
and he once said: "Thc source of the
design Of the American flag lies On the
old floor Of Brington church lie bad

local mason. in native stone.-Chicago
