never been seen before. The occasion
for this is the admission of two new
states-Arizona and New Mexico-into
the Union. This necessitated the addi-
ffon of two new stars to the flag, and
so 1t became necessary to make over
the old banner in accordance with the
enlarged Union.
AS the nation was born on the
Fourth of July. so has it become the
custom to make that date the birthday
of the new flags. Whenever, during
the past century. a state had been ad-
mitted into the Union a new flag, with the
rearrangement Of stars. has been born on
the Fourth of July that followed. The
flag that has been official since July 4,
1907, following the admission Of Okla
homa. will next Thursday be out of date.
Instead of that banner with its forty
six stars arranged in irregular lines, there
will appear the new flag with its block
OF stars in six lines Of eight stars each
Authorities aboard all the ships Of the
nation, at every army post at which Uncle
Sam is in authority, at every government
building which flies the Stars and Stripes,
at American legations and consulates the
world around, those in charge of the
flags have been busy these last few weeks
pulling down the old banners ripping off
the two short rows of stars, and so re-
arranging them that the proper flag may
be flown at the masthead. At the Brook
lyn navy yard alone $4,000 stars have
been ripped OFF, rearranged and sewed
back on In the thirty-nine states of the
Union where II is required that the public
schools should fly the federal emblem, it
is necessary that 10000 flags be re-
modelled or replaced with new ones In
most of these flags the white stars are
merely sewed on to the blue ground and
may be ripped off. the necessary additions
made, and again sewed on. So it is uri-
necessary to make new flags to take the
places of the old ones, for the stars in the
two short lines may be arranged to make
those flags officially correct

'The American Congress, in session at
Philadelphia Pa, established by its reso-
luton Of June IA. 1777, a national flag for
the United States of America.
The resolution was as follows:
Resolved, That the flag of the thir-
teen United States be thirteen stripes, al
ternate red and white: that the union be
thirteen stars, white in blue field, repre-
senting a new constellation
Although nearly year previous. July
4, 1776 these thirteen United States had
been declared Independent, this resolution
is the first legislative action recorded re-
lating to a national flag for the new
sovereignty.

presented to the Philadelphia Light Horse
by it's captain in the early part of 1775,
and, moreover. the Union flag Of the thir-
teen united colonies raised at Washing

2, 1776. had the thirteen stripes just as
they are this day, but it also had the
crosses of st. George and ST. Andrew on
blue ground in the corner.
There is no satisfactory evidence, how
the stars had ,been in public use before
the resolution Of June, 1777.

though the full moons Of June and July
are always very low in the sky, those
which occur this year are even much
lower than usual.
In its monthly journey around the
heavens the moon will again pass over
Antares the morning Of July "a, but un-
fortunately this will occur at about
O'Clock. after the moon has set to all
observers in the United States. And
July 10 the nearly new moon will pass
over the Pleiades, hiding its principal
star Alcyone, and great number Of
the other stars of the cluster from our
view. This is always an interesting and
long anticipated astronomical event, but
this occuitation will also, unfortunately,
not be visible to us, for 1t will occur

month was doubtless struck by the ex-
tremely low position Of the nearly full
moon in the sky. 1t is at this time Of
the year that the full moon is always
very low in the heavens. because our
satellite when full always lies in the
opposite region Of the heavens from the
sun, SO that as the sun is then highest
lowest.

ly so hung that people come far to see it
and the idle passerby is often brought to
attention and stands in unconscious ad-
miration.
This flag is seventy feet long and thirty
six feet eight inches wide. Its stripes
are nearly thirty inches wide and the
stars more than foot in diameter. It
required 400 yards Of bunting to construct
1t. 1t is the only flag of it's kind and size
that was ever made.
Ever since Americans learned to love
the Stars and Stripes there has been con-
troversy as to the origin and subsequent
history of the flag. The War Department
has recently sought to settle all the
mooted questions by selecting a specially
fitted individual and having him ferret
out the facts and publish the sketch Of
the flags history under the authority Of
the department This expert on flag his
tory is Charles Ebert, one-armed vete-
ran of the civil war. In his sketch Ebert
