Etiquette Of the Flag

New York sun: The etiquette OF
The drawing room is not more eXacting
than the etiquette of the flag. The
United states government has set down
rules explaining how the flag should
be treated on various occasions. These
rules concern the army, the navy and
the custodians of federal buildings.
An idea of the respect for the flag
demanded in the army may be obtained
at West Point, when the cadets salute
The Stars and Stripes. They even carry
their respect for the flag to the gridiron
battlefield. When the cadets win a
football game, especially against one Of
the big elcvcns, the standard bearer
carries the flag out to the center Of
The field. The entire corps OF cadets
surrounds him and with hats lifted and
with faces turned to the flag they
give three cheers for the flag and the
army.
When President Mckinley was as
Sassinated thousands Of people all over
the country kept flags on their homes
and business places at half mast for
thirty days and nights. That was not
etiquette. For Mr.. Mckinley the. flag
at every army post. naval station and
federal building in the country was
held at half mast from sunrise IN SIM
set from his death to the day Of his
burial. IN this occasion the rule was
| extended. for the regulations provide
that on the death of president in
office the flag shall be held at half
mast for only one day.
On Memorial day the flag is prop
| erly displayed at half mast from sun
rise until noon. At noon the band is
| assembled and while a salute of 81
guns is fired the band plays a drgc.
| At the end Of the ceremony the flag is
hoisted to the masthead and remains
there until sunset.
When the flag is half masted it is
first run up to the top OF the staff
and then lowered to half mast At
| sunset it is again hoisted to the top
and then lowered to the ground. Never
| is flag lowered directly from hal,
mast nor is the ensign ever displayed
| at night ON q fort except when actually
under siege
