Adding Two More Stars to the Flag

as they have a great deal OF leisure
time the sailors manage to do their
own official needlework when the
flags are called in for the addition OF
stars and the Encouragement OF the
field OF stars.
The addition Of one star to the flag
sometimes proves an easy task The
amount Of work involved depends.
upon the position OF the stars already
on the flag. If there Is room at the
bottom of the last row OF stars for
the addition of another then It is
merely a matter Of adding that extra
star and this is comparatively easy
job. But the field Of stars seldom
lends itself in that kind Of manner
to the work Of. adding additional
stars. The symmetrical arrangement
Of the stars is a matter Of the utmost
importance and this requires much
much thought and skill on the part
Of the officials to whom is entrusted
the work Of designing field with
the extra stars added.
The first work when the design Of
the new flag has been sent out to the
arsenals. is to rip of the stars that
have to be placed in different posi-.
tons. This work is done by rows Of
women who are armed with sharp
pointed knives. They place the star
to be removed on padded base that
holds the cloth taut. Then they care.
fully rip out the stitches until the
star IL removed. This work goes on
for weeks and sometimes months. for
all the flags In the country must be
rearranged. AS the stars are ripped
of they are dropped in baskets and
not used again, new stars being sewn
on to replace the discarded ones. The
new stars are cut by means Of q dia
