ALWAYS A SIGN OF DEATH
Flag at "Half-Stan" Sure indication
That the Dread Visitor Has
Been There.

Nearly every one speaks Of a flag
when being flown at a distance from
the top of the pole, as at half mast.
This is not the correct expression
Such flags are at "half-staff" because
they are flown in this manner whether
on land or sea from the flag staff.
To see flag at half-staff means
death. 1t may mean, on an incoming
ship, that one OF the passengers or
crew died at sea- Many a little fish.

board.
This custom of flying flags at half.
stan originated first as a token of de.
feat. That Is, when an army was de.
feated, its flag was lowered down the
staff to give room for the victorious
army to place its flag above that OF
the defeated army.
From this the custom grew into fly
ing the flag at half-staff when an Of
ficer, army or navy, died. Later it was
adopted by civilians as well, and to
day, when a man Of prominence dies
regardless of whether he was sailor
soldier. or civilian, the flags are hung
at half-staff. Whereas, in the olden
days, when the custom started, the up
per space was left to indicate that the
victor could put his flag there, now II
seems that death is the victor, and SO
the space is left. 1t is, of course, a
mark of respect to the dead person to
have flags at half.staff for him.
