STARS AND STRIPES
OYER LAND OF FREE
Correct Flag Should Have
Forty Eight Stars On the
Background of Blue.
STAR FOR EACH OF STATES
BY A. R. GROH.

The Stars and Stripes "Old
Glory"
If your copy OF the flag is cor
rect and up-to-date, it has forty-eight
stars, arranged in six rows of eight
stars each. The last two stars were
added in 1912 when Arizona and New
Mexico were admitted.
The blue field or union" in which
the stars are placed should extend to
.he lower edge OF the fourth red stripe
from the top. ,
The garrison flag OF the United
States arrly measures thrty-slx feet
fly and twenty feet hoist ("Fly" is
the designation of the larger meas
urcment OF the flag, and hoist" that
OF the smaller.
The storm flag is twenty feet by
ten and the recruiting ncg nine feet,
nine inches by four feet, four inches.
The flag should be hoisted, prefer
ably, at sunrise, but not earlier than
that, and never later than 8 o'clock.
1t should be hauled dowf at sunset.
When it flies with other flags the
national flag should be at the right.
Not Used for Advertising.
The law forbids the use Of the flag
for advertising purposes.
The flag placed at half-staff is a
sign of mourning. When placed up
side down it is a sign of distress.
There are various other official
flags OF various branches of this gov
eminent The presidents flag, for in
stance, is blue with the coat-of-arms OF
the United States. The secretary OF
the navy's flag is blue with an anchor
and four stars in white. The secre-
tary OF wars flag is red, having upon
1t an eagle with outstretched wings.
The revenue marine ensign, the
yacht ensign, the admirais flag, rear
admiral's flag and many others are
used also.
Up until June IA, LII, many flags
were used by the colonists. The cross
and the pine tree figured prominently
in these. There were many notices on
them usually bidding defiance to the
British king The "rattlesnake flag"
is well known. II showed a rattle
snake with thirteen rattles and in an
attitude to strike, with the legend,
Don't tread on me!'
Had Thirteen at First.
The continental congress, June ID,
l777, resolved THAT the flag OF the
thirteen United States shall be thir-
teen stripes, alternate red and white;
that the union shall be thirteen stars,
white in a blue field, representing a
new constellation" The design is
said to have originated from the coat
of-arms of the Washington family,
which contained both stars and
stripes.
Vermont was admitted to the
union in 1871 and Kentucky in 1892,
and the stripes were thereupon in
/, creased to fifteen and the stars to
fifteen. In 1878 the number of states
had increased to twenty and the pros
pect OF twenty stripes, and many
more in the future, was not conducive
to the beauty of the flag. Congress
then passed an act making the num-
Der of stripes, permanently. thirteen.

states: and provided that one star
should be added to the field on the
Fourth Of July following the admis-
sion Of each new state.

New Way to Remove
Hairs Creates Sensation

What beauty specialists regard as one
OF the most important discoveries In re-
cent years Is the phelactine method OF re-
moving supernuous hair. Its great advan-
tsge, of course, lies In the fact that It

this easily. instantly, harmlessly. Suffer-
ers from the affliction named need no
longer despair. Tho actual hair.roots
como out before your very eyes, leaving
tho skin rs smooth and hairless as a

Because 1t offers such complete relief,
a stick of phelactine Is the most mex
penslve thing a woman can buy for the
| removal Of hairy growths. For the same
| reason druggists do not hesitate to sell
II under n money-back guarantee. You
can use II with entire safety; It is SC

lie Wants No Extra Session.
Day and Night Sessions Will
PrObbaly be Held in Order to
Finish Business.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. %
Longer day and possible night ses
sions of the senate and Legislative
program for the remainder of the ses
sion of congress were considered to-
day by the senate steering commit
tee. The committee met in response
to President Wilson's personal appeal
to its members to speed up action on
his legislative program, including the
railroad strike restriction bill
Congress may be called in extra
session in the event of failure to put
through the administration Legislative
measures before adjournment on
March a, and such 81 session senate
and house leaders are anxious to
avoid if possible. One of the princi
pal barriers in the way is opposition
quarters, however, it is not believed
an extra session would be called to
take up the railroad legislation alone
Further emphasizing his intention
of working in close cooperation with
congress to secure the completion OF
his legislative program before March
5, President Wilson went to the capi
tol today for the third time within a
week to confer with the members OF
the senate and house.
The president had engagements to
see Representative Rainey of Illinois
Senator Ransdell, Senator Underwood
and several other members of con
gress at the white house, but word
was sent to them that he would see
them in his room at the capitol in
stead.
Mr.. Wilson is very anxious to avoid
an extra session and with that end in
view wishes to hurry consideration OF
his program. He expects to devote
much of his time during the next
few weeks toward this end.
