The American Flag of the present
day, although unlike the original flag
made by Betsy Ross in Philadelphia
after a sketch by George Washing
ton, in May, 1777, and adopted as the
national emblem by congress ON June
IA, 1777, is merely an elaboration and
augmentation of the original. Con-
gress decided THAT the flag of the
United States be thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen stars, white in a blue
field, representing a new constella-
ton" At first it was decided to add
new stripe and a new star for every
new state admitted to the union. But,
when the number had reached TWEEN
ty, congress, in 1918, decided, upon
careful deliberation, to adopt the
plan suggested in a bill by Repre-
sentative Peter H. Wendover of New
York and order the flag to be "thir-
teen horizontal stripes, alternate red
and white, with a union of twenty
white stars in a blue field" 1t was
also ordered that one star be added
for every new state admitted and that
the new flags should go into effect
on the Fourth of July next following
such admission.
The first flag made in Philadelphia
was afterward raised on the Rang
err" John Paul Jones' valiant battle
ship. The first fort on which the
Stars and Stripes were raised was

AN INSANITY DEFENSE
Will Probably Be Put Forth BY the
Attorneys of w. S. Riggers, on
Trial For Murder.
Herald Specially

Charlotte, N. c., June 14.-No Grim
! inal trial here in recent years has
attracted more attention than that of
w. S. Biggers, whose case is now be-
fore the special term of the Mecklen-
burg superior court Biggers is
charged with the murder of J. G..
Hood. Both the slayer and his victim
were well known citizens of Charlotte.
The killing took place before the
Central Hotel several months ago,
and was witnessed by some five hun
dred people. Without preliminaries,
Biggers overlook Hood, drew his re-
volver, fired four shots, and saw his
victim fall to the sidewalk A fifth
shot was fired through the back of
the PROSTATE mans head. Biggers
then stepped back and surrendered to
an officer.
Biggers and Hood were once asso-
ciated in business. A failure follow
ed, and Biggers claimed that Hood
had robbed him of his investments.
The old grudge had been harbored
for several years before the killing.
Altogether nearly a dozen eminent
attorneys are engaged for the prose-
cution and the defense. The probable
tiles are that an insanity plea will
be made for Biggers.

BIRTHDAY OF OLD GLORY
One Hundred and Thirty-Second An,
niversary of the American Flag
Was Observed Today.
CHerald Specially

Washington, D. c., June IA
Throughout the length and breadth
of the United States, from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, from the Canadian
frontier to the Gulf of Mexico, as
well as in the detached American pos
sessions in Alaska, Hawaii, the Phil
ippine Island and Porto Rico, patri
otto Americans celebrated today the
one hundred and thirty-second ami
versary of the American Flag, Great
ed by act of congress on June IA
1777. Although not legal holiday by
national consent, Flag Day is perhaps
more generally and faithfully OBJ
served wherever Americans have
their homes than any other day in the
year, excepting Independence Day,
the GLORIOUS Fourth
For many decades afteh the adop-
ton of the Stars and Stripes the eel
ebration of Flag Day was principally
confined to the official observance of
the anniversary by the federal Off
Gals throughout the country and &C.
casional celebrations by patriotic
socities and patriotic school teachers.
But, since the Civil War, which put
the loyalty to the Stars and Stripes to
the supreme test, wave of patriot
ism swept over the country. The SEN
timent for the flag of the country
grew stronger and with it the desire
to honor the symbol of union and
freedom by the appropriate observ-
ance of its birthday. The various pa
triotic associations of the country
combined their efforts to bring about
a more general public observance of
Flag Day and their efforts have been
crowned with gratifying success. In
six of the states, Illinois, Michigan,
Connecticut, Wisconsin, Oregon and
California, Flag Day has been pro-
claimed legal holiday and there is
every reason to believe that other
states will initiate this example
On every school house, from every
federal and other public building and
from hundreds of thousands of pri-
vate buildings and homes Old Glory
was unfurled this morning and every
where the anniversary of its birth
was observed in an appropriate man:
ner by patriotic exercises. 1t is safe'I
to say that no patriotic organization
in the country neglected to honor the |
birthday of the Stars and Stripes and
no district or other school, even in
the remotest parts of the country

 ucatlonal institutions of American uiis- sionsries. He said these ssfoFtned 2 part Of ths Ieaven which has ieavened the whole empire Of China" How sig
 niiicaDt part, becomes more and more apparent as plans are nnfoided for the education Of Chinese youth. Few Ame rieans have had larger share in these plans than Dr. b. /. Sheffield, PresI- dent Of the North China College in Tung-eho, who has been in service there forty years under the American Board with only three visits to the United States. Although the college was wiped out of existence by the Boxers In 1900, and the land sowed to corn 1t was re. built promptly with indemnity money anu i1 1tAsl pith1i fitth 10A VI lieient leadership in the nation.
 Dr. Sheffield holds high rank as an administrator as well as a scholar.
