or nearly 500 years prior to the first
Flag Day." June IA. 1777.
During the first crusade In 11?o,
Pope Urban II assigned to all OF the
Christian nations as standards crosses
varying in color and design, emblem
attic of the warfare in which they were
engaged. To the Scotch troops was
assigned the white satire, known as
the white cross of ST. Andrew, on a
blue field. The Brithish used q yellow
cross, but a century and a quarter
later they adopted red cross on a
white field, known as the red cross OF
st. George.
When James vi Of Scotland ascend
ed the throne Of England as James 1.
he combined the two flags and issued
proclamation requiring all ships to
carry the new fiag at their main masts.
At the same time the vessels OF south
Britain were to carry at their fore
masts the red cross OF st. George and
the ships Of north Britain to carry the
white cross of ST. Andrew.
The new flag was known as Kings
Colors," the Union Colors" or the
Great Union" and later as the Union
Jack" and was the one under which
the British made all their permanent
settlements in America It was the
flag OF Great Britain only by procla-
nation, however; not until 1907 did
Parliament pass an act definitely unit
Ing the two countries and their flags.
In the same year the government is
sued regulations requiring the navy
to use what was known as the white
ensign; the naval reserve. the blue en- :
sign: and the merchant marine, the
red ensign. Owing to the fact that
the British merchant vessels were
everywhere, the colonists in America
came to look upon this red ensign as
the flag OF Great Britain.
The people in the New England
colonies were bitterly opposed to the
cross in the flag. In 1885 some of the
troops In Massachusetts declined to
march under this flag and the military
commissioners were forced to design
other flags for their troops with the
cross left out. The design they

on New England flags. certainly by
1904 and possibly as early as 1885.
At the outbreak OF the revolution
the American colonies had no nag COM
mon to all Of them. In many cases
the merchant marine flag OF England
was used with the pine tree snhsfi-
tuted Coz the union tack. Massachu-
sets adopted the green pine tree on
white field with the motto: AN Ap-
peal to Heaven" Some OF the southern
states had the rattlesnake flag with
the motto Don't Tread on Me" on
white or yellow field. This flag had
been used by South Carolina as early
as 1854 Benjamin Franklin defended
the rattlesnake device on the ground
that the rattlesnake Is found only In
America and that serpent emblems
were considered by ancients to be
symbols of wisdom.

The Story Of the Stars and Stripes

American nag. Il was blue WITH .
white crescent, and matched the dress
Of the troops, who wore caps inscribed
Liberty or Death"
The colonists desired to adopt Q COM
mon flag; but they had not yet declared
independence and were not 1t hrst
seeking independence. They took the
British flag as they knew II, and made
new colonial flag by dividing the
red field with white stripes into - al
ternate red and white stripes. This
is known as the Cambridge nag. be-
cause it was first unfurled over Wash
ington's headquarters at Cambridge.
Mass, on Jan. !, 1776. It complied
with the law Of 1907 by having the
union Jack on It; 1t also represented
the thirteen colonies by the thirteen
stripes.
AS the colonists gradually became
converted to the idea that indepen-
dence from the mother country wAs
necessary. they began to modify the
flag, first by leaving off the union jack
and using only the thirteen horizontal
stripes. The modified flags were not
always red and white. but regularly
consisted Of combinations Of two col
ors selected from red. white, blue and
yellow. The final modification was the
replacement OF the union Jack by the
white stars on a blue field.
The stars are the only distinctive
feature Of the American flag. The
charming story which credits Betsy
Ross with making the first flag Of stars
and stripes is still accepted by histor-
ians. When Washington suggested the
six-pointed star. she demonstrated the
ease with which a five pointed star
could be made by folding q piece OF
paper and producing one with single
clip Of the scissors. Some writer's are
of the opinion that both stars and
stripes in the flag were derived from
the coat Of arms of the Washington
family, but this theory is not gener-
ally held.
The official adoption Of our first nag
was in 1777. On June IA OF that year
the continental congress passed an act
providing that "the flag Of the thir-
teen United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; that the union
be thirteen stars, white on a blue feld.
representing new constellation" The
thirteen stars were arranged in circle
to symbolic the perpetuity Of the
union OF the states.
ermOnt was AQnllttSQ 10 the uUIC1
in 1871 and Kentucky in 1892. It was
felt that these two new states ought
to be recognized on the nag. so in 1874
congress passed an act making the
flag fifteen stars and fifteen stripes.
This remained the flag Of the United
States turnout the war OF 1912, until
there were twenty states in the union
In 1916 an effort was again made to
modify the nag so that all the new
states would be represented on 1t. To
be continually adding stripes would
make the flag very awkward In shape
and appearance, so after arguing the
matter for two years. congress decided
to return to the original thirteen stripes
and one star for each state. Congress
has never determined the arrangement
of the stars nor the shape and pro-
portions OF the flag. and there has been
great variation. especially in the group
ing OF the stars. There are still many
| who believe that the symbolic circular
grouping Of stars should be restored

SMALL BORE LAW ENFORCEMENT.

An illustration of how quickly a bad
custom may be changed for the bet
ter by little backbone displayed b.
those in authority is offered by the diff
ference between last Fourth Of July
celebration and the manner in which
the day had been celebrated by those
who run to noise and riot and dyna-
mite. L is scarcely necessary to argue
for the sane Fourth. Once instituted
the common sense OF il made its own
convincing argument. The ancient i'm
preston that the day could not be
properly celebrated without unearthly
noise, imminent danger 10 human life
and TO property has been replaced by
the common sense conclusion that dan
gerous combustibles and deadly ex-
plosives are not TO be tolerated.
What did it? Agitation first, public
sentiment following that, ordinances
created and above all the enforcement
OF ordinances and laws. Nobody hears
the old cutlery that the sane Fourth
is bad for business nowadays. Even
the shop keeper who made huge profits
on explosives has ceased to mourn be-
cause he may not increase his bank
account thru the deadly danger of chill
dren. We have discovered that a sane
Fourth is easily accomplished when
those in authority do their duty.
The same process is likely TO solve
the automobile problem as concerns
public safety. Sentiment is in favor OF
the protective laws and ordinances Of
which there are plenty and which are
practically wholly unenforced. When
we bring the fault home it lies with
those in authority. The fact is that
automobile regulation is not only pos
siole but readily to be accomplished.
The reason that il is not is that no
serious attempt is made by those in
charge TO enforce existing regulations.
That is where the fault lies. Many a
man who would observe the rules sim
ply ignores regulations because every
one else ignores them and everyone
else ignores them mainly because the
authorities ignore them. And going
farther into the causes the authorities
ignore them because they are worrying
over possible opposition for reelection
The fact is that three real men with
stop watches and orders TO bring in
and prosecute every violator of the
laws would make a beautifully regu-
lated town inside Of two weeks anC
one that would stay regulated Ions
time providing they had a magistrate
to depend upon who would asses:
| fines without fear OF favor. And thu
city treasury and public safety woult
|. profit largely thus.
Coming down TO brass tacks tht
! fault lies right with those who swea
to enforce the law and the ordinances
and who lie down on their JOB ant
| their duty. 1t isn't a hard task but i
is disagreeaple one to the small
bore politician.
