Will you please tell me the meaning and derivation of the words ct1auvin- ism and chauvinist?
 A chauvinist is one who is absurdly jealous of his country's honor or puffed up with an exaggerated sense of ma tiena1 glory. The words .'chauviDist'' and ,''chauvinism' are taken from the name of Nicolas Chauvin, a soldier of Napoleon, who was so notorious for his exaggerated and demonstrative de- votion to the imperial cause that he was caricatured on the stage, and his name came to stand for all people who work mischief by their unreasoning, lrascibIe and vaing1orious patriotism.

Has the official flag of the United States any official dimensions2 What is storm flag2
 The official flag of the United States has forty eight stars in a blue field, ar ranged in six rows of eight stars each. The garrison flag of the army is made of bunting, thirty-sixl feet long and twenty feet wide, and has thirteen stripes In the upper Quarter, next the staff, is field or union" of stars, equal to the number of states, in a blue field over one-third the length of the flag, extending to the lower edge Of the fourth red stripe from the top. The storm flag is 20 by 10 feet and the re- cru1ting flag nine feet nine inches by four feet four inches. The American '.jack" is the ''union| or blue field of the flag. The revenue marine service flag, authorized by act ot congress March 2, 1799, was originally prescrib- ed to ''consaS< of sixteen perpendicular stripes, alt@xNate red and white, the union of the ensign bearing the arms of the United States in dark blue on white held.' The sixteen stripes rep resented the number of states which had been admitted to the Union at that time, and no change has been made since.
