English Union of the Colonial flag and
replaced it with Is stars on a blue
field. The Is alternating red and
white stripes were retained. The orr
gin OF this design-the first Star
spangled Banners shrouded in mys-
terry and bound up in controversy. In
the absence of congressional records,
various theories are advanced by dit
terent historians
The most popular, perhaps. is the
enc to the effect that George Washing
ton sketched a rough design Of the
flag in pencil and took it to Mrs. Bes-
sy Ross in Philadelphia in 1776 and
Lad her fashion ii. The stars were
six-pointed, so the story runs, but she
demonstrated how a five-pOinted star
could be cut with single snip OF her
scissors, and Washington therefor APP
proved the change. There are certain
authorities who holly contend that the
story is only legend, beautiful but
without historical foundation.
The red of the flag was considered
symbolical OF energy and war, the
white, of justice, and the blue sky
with the Is stars new constellation
typifying the 10 colonies united. This
was the first flag of the American Re-
public.
II is claimed by some that John
Paul Jones first raised the new flag
on his ship. 1he Ranger, in Ports
mouth harbor, New Hampshire. This
flag was said to have been made by a
| number of patriotic women of the
town and is belived to have floated
over the famous Bon Homme Richard.
This entire statement, however, is
, contested by authorities who claim
, that the flag was first given to the
, breeze by another American Joshut
Barney, at Baltimore.
Vermont was admitted to the Union
in March, 1871, and Kentucky in
June, 1892. In January, 1894, Con-
gress changed the flag to 10 stripes
! and 10 stars, in recognition of the EN-
trance of the two now states. No fur
'her change was made in the flag for
about 90 years. So the War OF 1872,
as a matter of fact, was fought under
flag with 10 stripes and 10 stars, and
furthermore, the flag to which Francis
Scott Key penned his immortal verse
was not the Star Spangled Banner of
the present day, but the one with IL
stripes and 10 stars.
In January, 1917. Congress me- IN
committee TO take action on the flag.
The number of states had increased
to Is and it was obvious that with the
ing inconvenience would have to be
met in adding additional stripes.
After much discussion Congress fianl-
ly decided on the Fourth of July, 1918,
to reduce the stripes to the original
number, 10, and to add a new star
for each new state. BY this time there
were 90 stars and they were 50
arranged on the blue field as TO form
OF themselves a five-pointed star. The
Army and Navy Departments made
several other arrangements of the
stars in 1918, and from then on plac-
ing them in rows.
Texas came into the Union in De-
cember. 1916, with flag with a blue
perpendicular stripe next to the starf,
