the American flag. He dis

senting each change from the first borne
to the new world by the Cabots in 1877

of st. George-to the present flag OF
thirteen stripes and forty-six stars.
When the cross of st. Andrews was
added to the English iag-to symbolic

we see our three colors, the red, the
white, the blue, have already appeared.
In Cromwells time slight changes were
made in the English flag, which gave the
colonlsts chance to do the same. Ow-
ing to the stress of the times in the
Mother country, little notice was taken
OF the action on the other side of the
waters and New England freely used the
green pine tree on white field as the
symbol of the land. This was used as
the naval flag during the early part of
the Revolutionary War.
About the same time the Southern col
onies adopted the rattlesnake flag. This
Franklin. 1t seemed particularly appro-
praite from the facts that the rattle
snake is peculiar to this country; it is
gentlemanly. in that it never strikes
without first giving warning; the rattles
on the tail protect themselves by stay
ing together, separation making the
injury of one very probable which would
mean the falling off of all.
When Washington took command of
the American forces at Cambridge the
flags used by the forces were many and
varied. To meet this emergency white
strips were sewed on the field of the
English flag, the new banner being
known in America as the grand Union
flag, in England as the Rebellious stripes.
Mr.. Spaid said that it was a beautiful
ful Benjamin Franklin, whom Washing
ton called into consultation, could not
get far away from the old associations in
the suggestion of new flag. There are
others, however, v no advocate the theory
that this flag was adopted in response to
a suggestion gained from the boats lying
at anchor in the harbor. Among thede
1t is very probable there was one float
ing the flag of the English West India
Company-the same as the one adopted
This flag soon proved unsatisfactory
The British on the high seas in several
instances tore white stripes and sewed
them to their flag, to the great misfor~
tune of the Americans. Again it was
taken for flag of truce. The matter of
a national ensign finally became a seri-
Gus one and Congress named committee
to consider the matter and make provi-
sion for the same-Washington, Robert
Morris and Captain Ross. They cen
suited with Mistress Betsey Ross, with
whose fine needlework Washington was
already acquainted. The colors were
to be the sane as had blended in their
flag since 1907, the blue union to be
adorned by white stars. The stars were
arranged in a circle, so that no state
should be represented as either first or
last Instead of the six pointed star,
through the persuasion of Mistress Ross
the five pointed star was used. That
lady insisted on this point, meeting the
objection as to the difficulty of cutting a

Apples May Be Scarce

The Delaware apple crop, in some sec

the causes given being the drouth the

The survivors are awaiting the inquest

chop the body OF Mrs. Edward Stark
weather from the debris OF her hone.
The body is in plain view and the
woman holds an enlarged picture OF
her husband in her hand. But the
body is held fast by tons OF debris.
Many startling finds are made dur
ing the work OF rescue. A dog was
dug from under fiiteep feet OF debris,
where the home OF Frank Sykes had
stood. The dog was alive, but all
members of the family perished.
n. n. Johnson. a ieweler, was the
only merchant OF Austin to escape

goods valued at about $4,000, was
found intact today.
A six day clock was found still run
ming hall mile below Austin. Other
clocks had stopped and registered the
time OF the flood, 2:22.
Bodies now being recovered are
burned beyond recognition. Several
moro masses OF cl,arrcd bones have
been taken out. AS each pie OF debris
is searched, it is dragged into the open
aud fired so that when the rescue work
is completed, what was Austin will be
entirely wiped off the map.
