TO be born in one OF the States best
calculated for fostering a spirit Of pa

colony and the mother country had not

Maryland Joined in the Revolution main

In Frederick county. Nd. on August

THE Star r-Spangled Banner" was born.
His father. John Ross Key. was an Of

Key inherited from his father the birth

many places made memorable by the
war which at this time was only a short

a very rare compliment. and should be
paid only TO the heroic valor of ones

Forts or naval stations never dip colors.
Entering and Leaving Port.
When any ship enters port or goes
out OF port. at night. she hoists her
ensign. II It can be seen. and again

period. to enable the authorities of the
port and other ships present to deter

show their colors in return. In this
manner the flags are flown before 8
a. m. and after sunset until the ship
clears the port or comes to anchor. If
this should occur during the time OF
"colors.' the flag is lowered and then
hoisted With the usual ceremonies at s
a. m. In the same manner the colors
are lowered with ceremonies and again
hoisted at sunset.

origin Of the flag was related by Mrs
Ross. that at her suggestion the stripes,
thirteen in number, were arranged so
that the flag should commence and end
with a red stripe, and that a 6ve-p pointed
star was also suggested by her in place
OF the star with six points contained in
the pencil sketch prepared by General
Washington. These details. however. are
unimportant The fact that Betsy Ross
at the personal request OF the great
military commander made the first flag.

It is also believed that the preparation
Of other American flags was intrusteG
TO Betsy Ross and that for many years
thereafter she occupied the position OF
official flag maker to the new republic.
Birth Of the Republic.
Following soon after the birth Of the
first American nag came the birth Of the
new Republic. On the Fourth Of July.

and only a short distance from the
little shop in Arch Street, from Inde-

Declaration OF Independence. Our fore
fathers were above the shortcomings OF
superstition. For them there was no
note OF warning in the number of thir-
teen. Thirteen stripes. thirteen stars in
the new flag. At one time there was a
disposition to add both a stripe and a
star on the admission Of a new State.
at one time the flag contained fifteen
stars and fifteen stripes. but this plan
was In part abandoned. and in 1913 the
official number of stripes for the flag

history as can be consulted, and from
such works Of fiction as relate to the
history of the flag II seems that Mrs.
Ross not only carried on the trade Ct

disgrace TO the regiment that only death

its defense. and when the color guard
is cut down others spring freely 20 their

and fame of the regiment; their honors

II the most desperate struggles take
place. II is the rallying point from
whence the battle is renewed The vic
tor counts his achievements by the num-
Der OF colors captured. as they are the
special trophies by which to weigh the
victory.
The fidelity OF the sailor to the flag is
something ennobling. Whether in its

The Story of the Flag.

In 1776 there was standing in the city
of Philadelphia. in Arch Street-then
known as 50 Arch Street-a two-story
and attic building with a high pitched
roof and attic window facing the str, et.
The building was occupied by Mrs. John
Ross. widow, whose husband was a
nephew Of Col George Ross. one Of the
slgners Of the Declaration OF Independ-
ence. The widow. who was known 10

Ross. carried on the trade OF an uphol-
sterer. and the front room OF 80 Arch
Street was used as the shop. and

Beanes at Upper Marlboro, Md. and
upon leaving they took with them as
a prisoner OF war the physician who had
so Hospitality treated them. DR.. Beanes
was an intimate friend Of Francis Scott
Key. and the news OF his capture affected
the latter deeply. and he lost no time
In making every effort TO secure his re-
lease. In this effort he secured the aid
OF President Madison. who instructed
John S. Skinner. the agent for the *

Proceeding to Baltimore. and securing
the cooperation of Skinner. Mr.. Key
under flag OF truce made his way to
the spot. where the British fleet was
stationed. and made overtures for the
release Of his friend. While the British
officers were willing 10 liberate Dr
Beanes. it was stipulated that Key and
his companion should remain with the
feet during the bombardment OF .he de-
fenses of Baltimore. and. as there seem
ed to be no other way in which to Sc
cure the release Of his friend. Key con-
sented 10 the stipulation. and remained
with the feet during the day and night
of the bombardment. On the morning
