this great nation was founded.

this great nation was founded.
When the stars were added to
the thirteen stripes there was a
good deal of dispute as to the ar
rangement of these stars.
Captain Samuel G. Reid, COM
mander of the famous privateer
General Armstrong;" was invited
to suggest design for the propos-
ed arrangement of stars. He
recommended that these be formed
into one large five-pointed star,
symbolizing the national motto,
E Pluribus Unum," and that a
istar be added for each new State.
1t was soon found that such a
plan would not be practicable, as it
was clear that, as the number of
States increased, the Individual
stars composing the one large star
would be so small as to be almost
indistinguishable.
The plan of arranging the stars
in parallel rows was then adopted,
and this arrangement has continued
ever since.
The fate of the first flag made
under the Act of Congress in 1777
is shrouded in mystery. 1t is not
known whether it was ever raised
in defense of American liberty.
Some very important events of
American history have never been
made clear.
Briefly, the above is the history
of the evolution of Old Glory,
which is now the emblem of the
greatest nation of all the world
1t stands for liberty and justice,
and wherever it is unfurled the Star
Spangled Banner is supreme and
unco nquerable.

of the tree, with the word.
Liberty Tree"
This old tree was the scene OF
many patriotic meetings. Novem.
Der 3, 1878, the citizens of Boston
gathered under this tree to consider
resolutions prohibiting the con-
signees of the cargoes of tea which
were on board ship on their way tc
Boston, from selling the tea on
American soil, and demanding that
it should be promptly returned to
London. The resolution by the
colonists was ignored, resulting in
the famous Boston Tea Party" "
which took place December E, 1878,
when hundreds of chests of tea
were cast into the bay.
In 1777. by a resolution of the
Continental Congress it was provid-
ed that the flag of the United States
be thirteen horizontal stripes,
alternate red and white, and that
the union have thirteen stars. In
1894, after two States had been
admitted into the Union, Congress
changed this so that the stripes and
stars should be fifteen each.
But as the number of States
rapidly increased it was found
necessary to again change this law,
and in 1918 a resolution was pre-
sented to the House of Represent
atives providing that the flag be
thirteen strips, that the union have
twenty stars and that on the
admission of a new State one star
be added. This became a law on
April 4, 1918, when the bill was
signed by President Monroe.
Since that time, whenever a new
State is admitted the stars in the
union are slightly rearranged so as
to accommodate the extra star.
The thirteen stripes will in all
probability forever remain as they
are, thus preserving for all time to
come the remembrance of those
thirteen original States upon which

Who suggested the combination
of stars and stripes which makes
Old Glory the most beautiful
banner in all the world? Nothing
really authentic on this subject is
known. Various ideas have been
suggested. Some writers claim
that they were taken from George
Washington's coat of arms. Others
claim that the stripes were taken
from the thirteen stripes in the
banner of the Philadelphia Troop
of Lighthouse.
But we do know that the flag
from which this combination OF
Stars and Stripes appeared, was
made by Betsy Ross, who kept an
upholstery shop at her little home,
No. 259 Arch Street, Philadelphia,
a place of great interest to visitors
at the present day. That was the
birthplace of Old Glory.
The first time that the new flag
of the United States was flown in
battle was at Fort Stanwix, re-
named Schuyler, where Rome, N.
Y, now stands.
The first salute ever given to
Old Glory by foreign power was
when the ship Ranger, COM
manded by Paul Jones, entered a
French harbor in 1878 and received

WHAT M. U. STUDENTS CAN DO.

The college student usually is YER

dom includes the ability to write, stage
and present musical comedy like
Hundred Dollar BILL
The musical comedy had three au-
thors. One wrote the story, another
the lyrics and the third composed the
music. OF course the majority OF the
University students cannot claim a
share in the triumph Of the play, but
all feel personal interest in it. 1t

the masterpieces of classical music;
It was something about which the av-

new to him, something satisfying. and
about which he can remember and tell
his friend after he leaves the univer-
