OF late years the journals, magazines, and school
histories our country have called attention to the
origin Of our national flag as having been sug-
gested by the hmily arms OF the Washingtons.
This suDposition comes from Martin. Topper an
eminent English poet and literateur His first
reference to our flag in this connection was made,
public in the fall Of 1850. The announcement did
not receive serious consideration until at a public
banquet given in America At this dinner, held in
the city of Baltimore, the idea was heraded to the
world that the stars and stripes had their origin IN
the heraldic symbols OF the Washington family.

clared that they could recast It, and they did so,
adding some copper alloy to improve the quality
Of the metal. The enterprise proved success,
except that the tone Of the bell was not entirely
satisfactory Pass and Stow were numerically
leased in public on the score Of having used too
much alloy. They asked and obtained the prtvi
lege Of again recasting the bell The result OF
this second attempt OF its kind In America was
the historic tocsin which 20 years later was lit

Another bell was also ordered from England by
