meaning of the design of the state flag.
 The flag meaning is not generally ! known. and could not be more clearly defined than in the following remarks ! made by the clever ciuD woman. Mrs McNeff said:
 Before the address of the afternoon | is given, l would like to call your at tention to the Arizona state flag which | you see floating in the arch beside the Stars and Stripes.
 NO doubt you all know Arizona has | a state flag, and possibly you know the design we chose, but l feel sure you have not all head the pleasure of sec ing it. And perchance you do not all know the meaning of the design, l would like to sepak of it.
 ''The geographical position of Ari zona, which is on the western slope, is represented by the rays of the setting sun, which fills one-half of the field.
 The blue of the field might well represent Arizona's blue sky as well as truth and fidelity.
 'In the center we have placed a cop per star, which represents Arizona's l great copper industry.
 | 50 you see, the design is full of meaning. Our Arizona state flag is very ! young, and for that reason very few of them have as yet been made. | The Arizona Daughters of the American Revolution have placed a | beautiful silk state flag in Continental hall. Washington, D. c. This organi- zation of each state has placed their state flag in Continental hall and when our Arizona state flag appeared on the scene to take it's place among the 4S l flags. it just so happened that the only place left was just at the left of the stage, which gave our Arizona state flag very prominent place and com pleted the 4S state flags
 Mrs. W. c. Barnes, whom we like to consider a Phoenix citizen and who still maintains her membership in
 Maricopa chapter of the D. A. R., but
 who spends most of her time in Wash ington, was chosen delegate at the con-
 vention held in Continental hall just
 after our state flag had been placed
 there, reported the flag was very beau-
 tiful and had been much admired.
 The Maricopa chapter of the D. A.
 R. has presented the three flags now
 In Arizona. The first one was taken
 to NacO by Governor Campbell and
 presented to the Arizona boys in the
 First Arizona infantry who were sta
 tioned on the border
 Another of the three flags-the one
 you see floating above you-Will hang
 in the state house in honor of all the
 boys from Arizona who are in service,
 whether they enlisted or were selected
 Whether they walk on land, sail or
 the seas or fly in the air.
 The last of these three flags was
 presented to our Arizona boys of the
 frst officers training camp at the Pre-.
 sIdio and because the boys will be SC
 scattered this flag will remain in tn,
 custody ot the Maricopa chapter of tn,
 D. A. R. until their return. In closins
 wish to say it is the pleasure of tn,
 members of the Woman's club to floa
 our Arizona state flag today for tb,
 first time in our clubhouse as .. com.
 pIlment to Governor Thomas F.. Camp bell, who will give the address of tn afternoon"
