A Famous Flag,

OF all the thousands of flags which
have waved over the heads of Ameri-
cans one stands supreme In its I'M
equaled fame. This one is the flag
OF Captain John Paul Jones, the
Founder Of the American Navy" II
was the naval hero's proud boast that
he and the flag were twins, having
been born together. "As long as we
float we shall float together" was the
pledge which he kept to the end. IL
was fitting that the first flag to float
over an American vessel was hoisted
on the Ranger by Jones himself, July
4, 1777, says an exchange.
This flag was made by a quilting
party of young ladies at Portsmouth,
N. H., where the Ranger was
launched. The thirteen white stars
were cut out from a white silk dress
In which Helen Seavey had been mar
ried to young officer the May be-
fore. The blue field and the red and
white stripes were also of silk, and
were furnished and made up by Mary
Caroline Chandler, Helen
Seavey, Augusta Pierce and Dorothy
Hall. this last a niece of Elijah Hall,
second lieutenant of the Ranger. It
was the first example of the new
symbol Of liberty to be seen in Euro
pean waters and the first to be sa-
