Somethino About the Emblem

The Smithsonian Institution, on Flag day, June II, issued the following:
 "Today probably several million American flags are waving serenely in the varied brcezes of our spacious land, significant of the calm and dgnifed, yet deep and lasting. patriotism of the American people. Be this our native land or adopted country, we rledge allegiance to that flag, uncover aS We pass and wear 1t in miniature as a token of our loyalty. And yet what do we know about its origin, its meaning and its his tory? A lecture trip to the United States Museum in Washington, the national de positcrv of American relics, will teach much concerning the flag
 Naturally there were many forms of early flags, especially colonial types used by the individual colonies and militia regiments before the flag of the United States was established by the Continental congress on June l4 TIT, now celebrated as Flag day This act required that the feg of the United StaeS be of thirteen horizontal stripes alternate red and white, and that the union be thirteen white stars on blue field, rep resenting a new constellation, but it did not define how many points the stars should have, how they should be arranged, nor make provision for additional ones

Flown at Sea by John Paul Jones

"One of the first occasions for public display of the Stars end Stripes is said to have been on August 6, l777, when the new flag was hcisted over the troops at Fort Schuyler, Rome. N Y. John Paul Jones is said to have been the first to fly the Stars and Stripes over the high seas on the Ranger, in November, l777 The National Museum has an early naval 12-ster flag said 10 have been flown by John Paul Jones during the war of the revolution
 From the time of the revolution the stars and stripes in the flag have varied There were l3 in the war of 1872, 29 in the MeXi- can war 33 to 35 in the civil wer 45 in the Spanish war, and IS today. The stripes were changed first from 13 to 15, and then back again to l3. It may be surprising to know that our national flag is among the oldest flags of the nations, being older than the present British Jack the French tri color and the flag of Spain, and many years older than the flags of Germany and Italy, some of which are either personal flags or those of the reigning families.

The Star Spangled Banner measures about 30 feet square, though it was probably somewhat longer, and is much battered and torn, with one star missing, possibly shot away.

Not Carried by Army Until i846

Tt seems that for many years the army did not carry the Stars and Stripes in bat
 tie, though it had been in general use as a garrison flag. The land forces during this period and before carried what was known as national colors or standards of blue, with the coat of arms of the United States, com prising an eagle surmounted by number of stars, emblazoned thereon with the des- ignation of the body of troops. In 1884 war department regulations gave the artil- lery the right to carry the Stars and Stripes. The infantry and cavalry still used the na- tional standards, which remained the colors of the infantry until 1S41 and of the cav airy until 1887, when that branch of the army was ordered to carry the Stars and Stripes. From its adoption in 1777, how

The use of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat

mothers time. She used it to keep
her hair beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive. Whenever her hair took
on that dull, faded or streaked ap-
pearance, this simple mixture was
applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at
any drug store for so cent bottle

preparation, improved by the add
ton of other ingredients which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.

says it darkens the hair so naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply damp

draw this through your hair, taking
one strand at a time. By morning
