When any of these officers are Off

they have the right to have their flag
displayed. But over and above all, at
all times, floats the National Flag. To
float any kind of a pennant or streamer
except one above the Stars and Stripes
is considered an insult to the Flag and
the Nation it represents. The one ex-

Representative Wendoyer introduced
the bill in Congress, it passed both
houses and was signed by President
James Madison, April 4, 1913. This bill
provided that the star for new State
should be added on the Fourth of
July succeeding the admission of the
State into the Union.
That is the last action that has ever
been taken by Congress on the Flag.
The First Flag Day.
The first suggestion, so far as au-
thentic history goes, that the birthday
anniversary of the Flag should be OBJ
served was made early in June, 1861,
by George Morris, of Hartford, Conn.,
He made the suggestion to Charles
Dudley Warner, editor of the Hartford
care by its owner, Gen. Hawley, who
dropped the editorial pen and went to
the front. Hartford observed the day
by hanging out Flags and having a pa
triotic program, patriotic music and
praying for the soldiers in the field and
for the continuance of the Union.
Mr.. Morris went further. He asked
Judge Loomis, then a member of Con-
gress from Connecticut, to introduce
bill to make June IA a legal holiday. The
bill was taken up for action June 49,
1861, and Congress proceeded to make
merry with it. After making all kinds
of fun of the resolution, it was laid upon
the table by a vote of 81 to 33. And
that was the fate of the first Flag bill
in Congress. Many have been intro
duced since, but none has passed both
houses.
Judge Loomis and Mr. Morris both
lived to see Flag Day honored by every
Northern state, with millions upon
millions of children taking part in pro-

of an imaginary circle three feet and a
quarter in radius. In the upper point
over the angle is a constellation of 13
stars, representing the original l 3 States
of the American Confederation"
Mr.. owen explains that in the olive
leaves, it's berries and the arrows is
symboIized the original 13. 1t is also
not little singular that the official seal
should bear in it's motto exactly 13 let
ters, and that the general order which
created the Flag was also numbered
13. The magnificent silken colors of the
Presidents Flag are of scarlet, and the
design is embroidered upon this SO ex-
quisitely that it is impossible to tell
right from wrong side when looking at
the Flag. The colors for President
Taft have just been completed. The
embroidering of the coat-of-arms took
two young ladies six weeks of steady
eight-hours-a-day work. The colors on
the Flag are what is called proper"
that is natural, the eagle being brown
and the olive branches green, with red
berries. This Flag is to be displayed
only in time of war.

FLAG OF PRESIDENT, COMMAND
ER-IN-CHIEF OF THE ARMY
AND NAVY.
March to September, the origin and
birth of the Flag is compassed, and
there is not very much history of it,
either. June IA, 1777, according to the
records, the American Congress adopted
a resolution, which read as follows:
Resolved, That the Flag of the Is
United States be 13 stripes, alternate
red and white; that the union be 13
stars, white in blue field, representing
a new constellation"
There is not one scintilla of evidence
to show who introduced this resolution
or whether one word of discussion was
evoked. The resolution was adopted"
and so it must have had a father, but
his name is lost to history. While the
resolution comes down in history as
adopted" by Congress on that day, it
was not officially promulgated by the
Secretary until September 3, 1777.
From that dag to this the Flag has
not been changed so that the eye could
discern it at a distance. 1t had two
stripes added to it in 1894 by resolution
of Congress, when Vermont and Ken
lucky had been admitted to the Union
and asked representation on the Flag.
Two additional stars were also placed
in the field of blue. The bill was the
first of the Third Congress to be signed
by President Washington, Jan. 13. 1894.
The Flag OF Is Stripes.
For 23 years this 15-striped and Is
starred Flag was our National stand
ard. and under 1t three wars were
fought-that with France, in 1798-1800;
with Tripoi, in Africa, 1S01-1S05, and
with Great Britain, 1912 TO 1915.
1t was the Flag of Is stripes and
stars which floated over Fort McHenry
and inspired Francis Scott Key to write
THE Star Spangled Banner" In less
than a year after the adoption of the
10 stripes and stars Tennessee was ask
ing admission to representation on the
Flag, and Ohio knocked for the same
honor in 1903, Louisiana in 1912 ana
Indiana in 1916. Illinois was also be-
ginning to look for admission into the
sisterhood, and that meant 20 stripes,
an unwieldy thing, looking the same as
ever, only If aproportionately long it
would be too heavy to fly from any but
the strongest flagstaff.
Capt Samuel Chester Reid, sailing
master in the United States Navy. and
warden OF the port of New York. in
1918, suggested to Representative Peter
Wendover, of New York, who was much
interested in the Flag, that it would be
well to return to the original size of
the F1ag-13 stripes, alternate red and
white, with a field of blue bearing a
star for each State as admitted.

Presidents "peace Flag

Yet another flag has the President.
In 1902 the Peace" flag was adopted.
This third flag differs in a good many
respects from the other two. In the
first place, the great seal of the United
States is correctly depicted On the
other flags the design of the seal is
seven red stripes and six white ones.
which is correct as the flag design was
adopted by the Third Congress, but
when the great seal was adopted the
designer, not knowing much about the
flag, arranged it with seven white and
six red stripes. And that is the seal
to-day. There was a long discussion
whether the seal should not be changed
to agree with the stripes on the Flag as
the forefathers intended, but it was de-
cided that as it had been adopted it
should remain. This new peace" Flag
thus has the seal correctly depicted.
The eagle is snow white, its feathers
being outlined in deep black. There is
different arrangement of the stars
and of the sunburst also. The sunburst
is exactly circular in form, with the
rays radiating from the group of stars.
The colors are of silk, with exactly the
same design.

went aboard a ship his presence was de-
noted by the National Flag hoisted at
the main truck and his presence in a
garrison or post was denoted by the
raising of the big garrison Flag. These
were not entirely distinctive as denoting
the presence of the President, for these
Flags were hoisted on gala occasions
when the President was not around.
The lack of a distinguishing Flag for
him was felt by the Navy also, and the
Secretary of the Navy by general orders
Aug 19, 1882, established flag for the
President of the United States. The
general orders described the flag as of
blue bunting with the coat-of-arms of
the United States in the center. The
flag was to be hoisted at the main OF
the vessel when the President was
aboard, and be carried at the bow Of
the launch in which he came aboard.
In the Army there was no distinguish
ing flag for the President of the United
States until just before the outbreak of
the Spanish-American War. Col. Theo-
dore Bingham, who was then superin-
tendent of public buildings and grounds,
called the attention of President Nc
Kinley to this lack of a distinguishing
flag for him. and stated that he
thought the Commander-inChief of the
United States Army and Navy ought to
have a distinguishing flag. President
Mckinley did not like the suggestion,
but the Secretary of War did, and flag
was made. 1t was designed by Freder-
ick ID. owen, AID is a beautiful thing to
