Service IHlnCH.

w. r.. NJ. Danvillc.-Thc service flag
was designed 10y captain X. l.: Queis-
OF Commerce and The City Council of
Cleveland recommended its use. and the
flag became instantly popular through
out the country. The standard mca-
surcIncnt Of the service flag is four by
i've feet. but the flags arc necessarily
made TO order in many cases and the
number OF stars to he displayed may
require another proportion Of length
and breadth. In some Instances il has
been impossible TO display the hundreds
ing men from n single corporation who
have entered the army or navy. Where
the number lis large il has been thought
best to form on the white center field
numerals 20 denote the number OF men
forming the numerals OF little stars.
