press. This Is called half mast" Did
you ever stop to think what connec
ton there could be between q nag
that was not properly hoisted and the
death Of a great man?
Ever since flags were used In war It
has been the custom to have the nag
Of the superior or conQuering nation
above that of the inferior or vanQuish-
ed. When an army found itself hope
lessly beaten 1t hauled its nag down
far enough for the flag Of the victors
to be placed above 1t on the same
pole. This was a token not only Of
submission. but of respect.
In those days when, a famous SOL
der died flags were lowered out Of
respect to his memory. The custom
long ago passed from purely mill
