USE OF THE FLAG

Replying to an inquiry as to the
regulations of the army as to the use
of the flag, the quartermaster general
of the army has replied that the war
department has nothing of the kind
with reference to the treatment of the
flag. General Sharpe, however, sug-
gests that the following extracts from
the flag circular published by the So
ciety of Patriotic Decorations and Civic
Improvements may be of service in
promoting a uniform way of using the
flag and in attending to it's display:
Holidays when the flag should be
displayed at full staff:
Lincoln's birthday, February II.
Washington's birthday, February %.
Inauguration Day. March A.
Battle of Lexington, April 10.
Battle of Manila Bay, May 1.
Memorial Day, May 80.
ION this day the flag should fly at
half mast from sunrise to noon and
full mast from noon to sunset.)
Flag Day, June IA.
Battle of Bunker Hill, June II.
independence Day, July 4.
Labor Day, First Monday September.
Lake Erie Day, September 10.
Lake Champlain Day, September II.
Battle of Saratoga, October II.
Surrender at Yorktown, October 10.
The flag should not be hoisted before
sunrise nor allowed to remain up after
sunset.
When the flag is flown at half staff as
a sign of mourning. it should be hoist
ed to full staff at the conclusion of the
funeral.
Whenever possible the flag should
be flown from a staff or mast, but
should not be fastened to the side of a
building, platform, OF scaffolding. 1t
should not be used as a cover over a
table. desk or box. and where anything
can be set or placed upon the flag.
When the flag is used as a banner,
the union should fly to the north in
streets running east and west and to
the east on streets running north and
south.
When flags are used in unwilling a
statue or monument they should not be
allowed to fall to the ground, but
should be carried aloft to wave out,
forming a distinctive feature during
the remainder of the ceremony.
Decorations
When the American flag is used out
of-doors, it should always be allowed to
fly in the breeze.
When clusters and draoing of colors
are desired, bunting or cloth should be
used, but never the flag!
For indoor decorations, the flag may
be caught up in many artistic fashions,
and used with bunting, %garlands, plants
and flowers, but should never be plac-
ed below a person sitting.
When used on a bier Or casket at a
funeral, the stars should be placed at
the head. In no case should the flag
be allowed. to touch the ground.

Then he got brush and some black
paint and with his tongue In his
freckled cheek, for II was work that
required a great deaf OF care. he
printed letters on those smooth
boards Every few minutes he
would stand or and look az what
he had done and scowl little whom
