Of more fully utilizing the land for

banner of Columbus had the symbol
blazoned on his voyage flag" which
he displayed on reaching the land,
August l.. 1902; and in the name OF
this emblem he took possession of the
strange shores.
England's standard also bore the
sacred token, and consequently when
Sebastian Cabot landed in Labrador in
1897. at the end of his voyage OF dis
covery, it was under tho Red Cross
OF st. George" that he took possession
of the new domain. The planting OF
the red cross resulted in grim years OF
warfare and bloodshed, for many
hard-fought battles took place between
the French and English over the dis.
puted territory. For one hundred and
nine years this Christ emblem was the
British symbol of American discovery
and possession. But in 1906. one year
before the settlement OF jamestown.
Va, new English flag was devised,
which contained, besides the red cross
Andrew In honor OF the Scots who had
Joined the British nation. These
crosses, OF Saints George and Andrew,
were placed on blue square, while
the remainder OF the flag was red.
Under this union banner began the la.

The East Indian company, which in
1914 intended to improve and settle
America, displayed a flag OF four
stripes. two red and two white, and In
a white union there was bazoned a
red cross. In 1902 the same company
devised a new banner, with the cross
in the union still in evidence. but
four more stripes added, making five
white and five red stripes. Oddly
enough in the light OF subsequent
events this company in 1904 ordered a
change In their standard which re-

Better to Teach Child as Baby Rath-

There is nothing more beautiful
than a baby just learning to talk and
beginning to run about. He has so
many charming ways. and each new
omplishment Is so absorbingly in
teresting. At the very worst his mis-
demeanors do not irritate us. and us
ually they are amusing. II Is far pleas
anter and easier TO divert the child's
attention than TO take him seriously;
and so, since there Is no good stop

until he Is no longer baby. But the
habits that were amusing in the two
year-old cease 10 be funny at four and

AS early as 1854 the colony of

a distinctive colony flag. In letter
to Capt. Thomas Noyes OF Newbury,
Mass, N. Sallonstall writes:
I'm we major generals letter, have
ordered also TO require you which
herein, do. with all convenient speed
to provide n flight OF colors for your
foot company to be green

Two years later, under the rigid
rule of the Colonel governor, Sir Ed.
mund Andross, this green flag of Mas
sachusetts was ordered hauled down,
and the flag of King James l.. with the
British crosses, was re-established in
New England. The green flag was. &C.

the confederacy which was formed OF
the New England states in l643 they
voted to Take off the cross, because

instead a rose, a tree, or other natural
object in place of the cross" Hence

direct attempt TO claim certain rights

the union betoken allegiance TO Eng

expressive motto plainly indicates a
threat against too much interference

Another and later use OF the serpent

troops OF the Confederate army, who
employed it on their flag during the
Civil war.
At the battle OF Bunker Hill, the
first real clash OF arms and initial
display OF independent colors, there
were two decidedly colonial flags

On January 2. 1875, General Wash

flag was OF thirteen stripes. seven red

Continental flag for just seventeen
and one-half months. Then on June

adopted a device for flag which has
