changed to II with five points. and
this was the only change made. She
took bunting of colors chosen and, fol
lowing the design that Washington
had drafted, made the first flag for
the growing nation, a bit of work that
has since made her humble home a
valued landmark in history and a
shrine for patriotic pilgrims.
Each detail and color in the flag was
chosen for some special significance.
White was selected because it stands
for purity and must represent the fu-
ture integrity of the nation. Blue was
taken from the edges of the old Gov
%enanters' banners, partly because the
Scotch-Irish of this faith had contrib
uted much to the purchase of the coun-
try's freedom, but more because their
color was the one that would best typi-
fy the peoples league against oppres-
sion and their covenant for the preser-
walton Of unity, peace and justice. Red
was borrowed from the Romans and
used as they had used it centuries be-
fore, to express courage and defiance.
The stars represent the consultations
that were ven then rising out of the
great and unknown west. The first
stars We're set in a circle. an idea Dor
rowed from the ancient Egyptians and

eyes of its own citizens as well as the
eyes Of foreigners by allowing the use
of the national ensign in advertising
schemes, and so a law was passed pro-
hibiting the degradation of the flag in
this fashion.
The first battle In which the regula-
ton flag of the new country appeared
was that of Brandywine, Sept. IL, TIT,
and ever after that 1t has been borne
aloft over the heads of American sol
diers to encourage, inspire and strength
ell the hearts of the fighters. On the
very day that the law was enacted es-
tablishing the form of the flag O
gress appointed John Paul Jones COM
mander of the Ranger, with authority
to bear the new ensign into foreign
waters. He sailed away with 1t to en-.
ter French ports on Dec. 1, 1777, and
On Feb. IA, 1878, the first foreign sa-
lutte eve given Old Glory was that of
nine guns given by the French fleet
under La Motto Piquet. John Paul
Jones deeply justified the faith that
congress had placed in him when 1t
gave him the flag to carry oversee.
He set it high on the Bonhomme Rich
ard, and when she went down In a
death grapple with the Scraps he
transferred it to the captured ship and
later to the Alliance. This was the
first flag on board an American man
of-war, and 1t is now preserved in the
National museum In Washington.
