The first official flag Of the United
resenting the thirteen federated
States was made by Betsy Ross in
Philadelphia In the summer of 1879.
Elizabeth Griscom Ross was a widow,
and kept q little upholstery shop in
Arch Street. One morning she had
as visitors George Washington, John
Adams, Thomas jefferson and Benja-
min Franklin. This august commit
tee had come to ask Mrs. Ross to
sew a flag whose design had just been
completed. She glanced over the de-
sign and suggested changes. The
committee were more versed in
diplomacy than in needlework, so
they accepted her suggestions. One
of her changes was that the flag
should be oblong instead OF square,
as they had designed 1t.

signed the flag. All the empire their
minds could then compass was hedged
about by the territory OF other ma

a new stripe and new star be add
ed for each newcomer.
BY 1918. when territorial expan-
sion was proceeding on stupendous
scale 1t was seen that the flag was

Expression of Relief.
Unquestiona bly, the stock market

sold at higher prices than they had
reached previously this year, ex-
pressed in some degree merely relief
