On June IA 1916 Old Glory waved it's proudest over Montgomery. The people of the city burst forth in love for our glori- ous flag as was never known before. The demonstration so far exceeded the hopes of the Daughters of the American Revolution. who planned it, that each matter what demonstration may follow lr future years, the women can never be happier than they were on Flag Day. 1916
 This day was celebrated two years ago, in a. quiet way, by the Francis Marion chapter, under the guidance of It's regent Mrs J. H. Crenshaw, and was last year, on her invitation, celebrated by the Peter Forney and Francis Marion combin ined, with an automobile parade and speeches at Oak Park
 This year, with the magnificent support of the men of our city, who have given their time, their money and their fine business experience to this cause, the re- suit has been the greatest parade and demonstration ever known in Montgom- cry.
 When the committee of men and worn- en, appointed for this object, assembled at the Chamber of Commerce for it's first meeting, with Hon. John H. Wallace as it's able chairman success was as sured at the outset; the succeeding meet irgs only proving the fact. Enthusiasm ran high. It was wonderful And when rived at the place of meeting, some of

ORIGIN OF UNITED STATES FLAG
 The following intensely interesting ad- dress on the Origin and Evolution of the Flag" was delivered by R. c. Ballard Thurston, former president of the Sons If the American Revolution of Massa- chusetts, before the twenty-siXth annual congress of this order at San Francisco, or July 24 1915. It traces the history of the flag from it's earliest colonial be- ginnings, and even goes back of those to the earlier ensigns from which it is known the national design was developed. So valuable and of such immense interest was it considered for young students that Dr. Moses Greedy Parker of Lowell, Mass, former president of the Sons of the Amer ican Revolution, as he has been of the Massachusetts society, has presented to all grammar schools, likewise the public library of Lowell, the high school of his home city and to the libraries of the adjoining towns, with a handsomely printed pamphlet embodying this address Dr. Parker has been so kind as to send copy of this pamphlet to the editor of this column. It is with much regret that cuts of the different flags and em- blems cannot be reproduced here.
 Before we can thoroughly understand tht origin and development of our flag, it is necessary to go back many years and study the origin and development of that flag from which ours has been evolved"

Children of the American Revolution Rooms, in Memorial Continental Hall
 Washington, D. C.:
 Again it has been my privilege to attend the annual convention of the Children of the American Revolution in their special room in Continental Hall.
 There l heard the reports of national officers, of state directors, and local so- cities
 The Children of the American Revolu- ton have contributed most generously to the general building fund for Continen- tai Hall, $no5 being credited to them for the year 1915
 They have also presented and furnished, Memorial Room. It is on the third floor. and is as complete in furnishings and equipment as any room in this wonderful building.
 A very handsome arm chair was pre- sented by the Old North Brigade society of Concord, Mass, in honor of the foun. der, Mrs. Daniel Lothrop.
 Another arm chair was presented to the national society, Children of the Amer. lean Revolution, by the General Srlliva n society of Elnira N. Y. A picture was given by the Hiawatha society, and a handsome bronze tablet was presented by Mrs. Daniel Lothrop. Other furnishings are large center table, two handsome bookcases, a desk, secretary, several small chairs a hall clock and beautiful rug; all presented by the Children of the American Revolution.
 Last year. with special ceremony, was unveiled a beautiful portrait of the much loved founder, Mrs. Daniel Lothrop and this year, the bright sweet face seemed to smile a special welcome to the direc- tor from Alabama, so wonderful like ness it is of this gentle woman
 The regular monthly meetings of the National Society of the Children of the American Revolution are held in this room, and all business pertaining to the society is transacted there.
 Why cannot the Children of the Ameri- can Revolution of Alabama make a pre- sentation to our Children of the Ameri- can Revolution room?
 The Daughters of the American Revo- luton over the whole world feel tha, Memorial Continental Hall is home; we of Alabama have a particularly Monarch of all I survey kind of feeling when we assemble for a state meeting in our own Alabama room, with Mrs. Morgan Smiths portrait smiling down in sweet benediction on us, and we would feel give of our substance to the Children of the American Revolution room.
 Will you consider this, president of To- cal societies. and talk to the children about it? Let us start something.

oies because of their sectional preju-

onies because of their sectional preJu-
 dices and singular as it may seem,
 the flag which apparently first received
 some official recognition by General
 Washington as representative of the 1S
 colonies sprang into being without any
 known official order or direction. The statement is made that 1t was the re-
 suit of a committee appointed by Con- sress for that purpose, but the committee referred to, was appointed to confer with General Washington and others Tor the purpose of devising means for organlz- ing and maintaining an army, and neither does their official report nor correspond ence show that they even consldered the question of a flag. It was not long after their return to Philadelphia, when, on January 1 or 2 1776, there was hoisted over General Washington's headquarters at Cambridge a flag having IS horizontal red and white stripes and in the canton was the Union Jack, complying with the act. of 1707, requiring that it be on all flags, banners, standards and enslgns. whether used on land or at sea It was merely the British marine flag of that day. with thes olid red field divided by white ribbons so as to make 13 red and 13 white stripes, representing the Is revolting colonies, Al rnat time the idea of independence was not generally seri- ously considered, so that the Union Jack in this flag showed the allegiance of the colonies to the mother country. The flag itself was immediately appropriated by the navy. and although our army used IL over fortifications and barracks, they did not carry it in battle. With the growth of the idea of independence, the colonists apparently conceived a dislike for the Union Jack in the flag, for before the
 end of the calendar year 1776 it's use by our revolutionary patriots seems to have
 ceased entirely. After the abandonment
 of this flag, and before the adoption of
 our starry emblem, have not been able to obtain reliable information as to just what our navy did carry, but it probably consisted of 13 horizontal stripes in each , case composed of two of the four colors- red white, blue and yellow.
 OUR FIRST FLAG ACT
 It was on June l. TIT, that our Con- tinental Congress passed the following act
 establishing the Stars and Stripes as the flag of our country. Resolved. That the flag of the United States be 13 stripes. alternate red and white; that the union be l3 stars, white on blue field. rep resenting a new constellation. You will notice that this act does not define how many points the stars were 10 have, nor how they were to be arranged
 Our navy immediately appropriated the
 new flag; but as the British army and

navy had used different flags for many years, we thought we should do likewise, and the official correspondence between General Washington and the board of war shows that it was over two years De- fore they agreed upon design for the army to. carry 'as variant from the ma rine flag and over three years more before the board of war succeeded in ob- taining the necessary material and hav- ing national colors made for our army. The details of the design are only lm- perfectly described in this corresponoence' neither flag nor design having been pre- served, so far as we have been aple to learn, but it contained the unlon' and in the, center was serpent, With the number of the regiment and name of the state where the regiment was or ganized. This correspondence also shows that the national colors prepared by the board of war for the army was ready TOT distribution in the fall of 17S2, and that they had not been, distributed as late as March H. 17s3 being then in the hands of the keeper of military stores. The war was then practically over. and there is nothing to show that our revolutionary army. had ever carried any flags rur- nished by the American Congress. Those that were carried were purely personal, and made by or for some officer, CT regl- merlt. and represented the sentiments or the makers. 50 Tar, l nave SuCCceocu III locating only one Stars and Stripes that I feel sure was carried by the American army during our Revolution ary war It was carried by the North Carolina militia at the battle of Guilford courthouse March 15. 17S1; but the stripes are blue and red and the union has white field with IS eight-pointed stars. There is also. another flag hanging in the statehouse at Annapolis, that 1t IS claimed and probably correctly, was car ried by the Third Maryland regiment at the battle Of Cowpens, January IT, 17r. It has 13 red and white stripes and the union is blue field with 13 five pointed stars-one in the center and l2 arranged in the form of circle around it.. In both cases these flags were pure ly personal, not official. The Stars and Stripes preserved in, the statehouse at Boston is claimed to have flown over Fort Independence during the American Revo- lution. but 1t was not carried by the army and probably was not furnished by the board of war.
 EARLY NATIONAL COLORS
 The first flag carried by our army as national colors is still in existence. It was recently mounted between two layers of Brussels net. at the expense of our society, for the purpose of preservation, and is today hanging in the chapel on Governors Island. Under the act of March 3, 17sl, the size of our army was

increased from one regiment to two, and then it became necessary to have two flags, one for each regiment. The one carried by the first regiment has been preserved and is today at the United
 States Military academy at West Point.
