Army and Navy News
Best Service Column In City.

The making of over 400 different
kinds of flags for use in the navy, at
army posts and on government build
ings in the United States, is a pretty
big job. Most of these flags are made
in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. where an
up-to-date shop is maintained by the
government for the work. Practically
all of the flags for the needs of the
Atlantic coast and interior posts and
quired for the Pacific Coast are made
at MSe Island Navy Yard.
No government ship or building can
be without fits Stars and Stripes, and
no one connected with the service is
willing to fly a tattered or patched
flag. Consequently the flag-makinE
industry OF the United States govern
ment is an important one.
On seeing a bsttleship in full dress
bunting is required to be carried in
the ships lockers. Such a ship is an
inspiring sight. In addition to flags
for signaling purposes, each battle
ship must be equipped with an exten-
sive array OF flags for official occa-
sions. In the ceremonial OUTFIT there
are about $50 flags. Each battleship
carries more than forty foreign flags,
each 25xl3 feet.
Buys Best Bunting.
For its flag-making the government
buys the best bunting. but weather
and constant use wear out flags. A
naval regulation requires that each
ship shall have a complete outfit every
three years. and ottener II needed.
Nothing but wool bunting is used in
the manufacture OF the flags. and II
is subject to a chemical and physical
test before it is accepted for use. The
first tests consists of soaking the
bunting in soap and water and then
exposing it to the weather for ten
days. Thirteen hours of this time the
material must be in bright sunlight.
If the bunting stands this test then
1t is accepted and sent to the cutting
rooms.
These rooms present a colorfuI and
interesting picture. Many modern
Betsy Rosses may be seen busily en-
gagged in assembling the flags of =
foreign country or putting the forty
eight stars on the Stars and Stripes.
Much of the sewing is done Thy ma
chinery, but many expert needle
women are necessary, for the flag
master does not throw away any flag
that can be neatly mended to do fur
thsr service.
All flags are cut from measure
ments arranged on chalk lines and
markers on the floor. The first bast-
ing is usually done on the floor also,
as large strips and pieces can be more
conveniently handled in this way. The
final sewing Is done on machines.
