Prospect hill, Cambridge on the first
day of January 17T6, has never been
satisfactorily determined. 1t is COM
monty thought that the continental
congress appointed George Washing
ton, George Ross and Robert Morris
a committee, authorized to design a
suitable flag for the nation and that
they called upon Mrs. Ross, who was
conducting an upholstery business on
Arch street in Philadelphia. The CON
frmation of this report is not to be
found in the Journal of Congress.
There seems to be little doubt that
the American flag is a growth rather
than a creation. Few of the writer's
have declared that both the stars and
the stripes were derived from the coat
of arms of Washington's family, which
contains both devices, but beyond
that coincident no other evidence has
been produced to prove this.
Made Official Emblem.
On June IA, 1777, the American con-
gress in session at Philadelphia adopt
cd the following resolution:
"Resolved, That the flag of the 13
United States be ID stripes, alternate
red and white, that the Union be Ii
stars, white in blue field, represent
ing a new constellation"
The credit of making the first flag
is given to Betsy Ross. William j..
Candy, grandson Of Mrs. Ross, de-
clared that Betsy Ross was shown a
rough drawing of the flag, which was
explained by General Washington. She
objected to the six-pointed stars, and
suggested that they be five-pointed.
General Washington is supposed to
have redrawn the sketch, changing
the stars to five points. At first Wash
ington declared that five-pointed stars
would be hard to make, but Mrs. Ross
demonstrated that by one clip of her
scissors she was able to make per-
feet five-point star.
In 1912, the United States congress
admitted Arizona and New Mexico into
the Union and the stars then mum
bered AZ. The law did not provide
how the stars were to be arranged,
and for long time considerable di-
versity existed in this respect. How
ever, on October 20 of that year, the
proportion was definitely fixed and
the manner in which the stars were
to be placed was determined. Since
that time the same rule has held good,
that of six rows of eight stars each.

ME first American flag, for
mally adopted b. congress on
June II, 1777, is said to have
been made out of soldiers white
shirt, an old blue army overcoat
and red flannel petticoat. 1t
was first hoisted by the Revolution
lry army during Burgoyne's campaign
and was first flung to the ocean breeze
by Paul Jones.
We have not advanced so far from
those humble but glorious beginnings
as to have lost the SAVIOR. The COM
bination that went into the making of
the first flag answered all require
ments. History has neglected the own
er of the white shirt and the old over
coat. 1t has likewise courteously re-
Trained from mentioning the original
possessor of the petticoat. 1t is enough
that all were Americans.
But the vicissitudes of history have
not dimmed the luster of those first
Stars and Stripes. Rather have they
grown more glorious in the eyes of the
people over whom they float.
The observances of 1919, while com
memorating the glories of the past,
must necessarily take account of the
new epoch upon which we have en-
tered. But there is no change in the
significance of the national emblem AS
before, it stands for justice, freedom
and humanity. There will be no new
teachings but a fresh conservation of
the old.
rne American flag carried in the bat
tie of Bunker Hill had on it the cross
of st. George and pine tree, the sym.
Dol of Massachusetts. 1t is written by
historians of the American flag that
when the first flag to represent the
united colonies was devised, as many
horizontal stripes of red and white
were introduced as there were colo
MES, and as at that date the colonies
were not Independent, but merely in
revolt because of the denial by the
English government of "their rights as
Englishmen," the ensign of England
the superimposed crosses of st. George
st. Andrew and st. Patrick, was re.
tanned by the Americans in the upper
staff corner of the flag.

Flag Still Treasured.
This flag is preserved in the public
library at Bedford, Mass. 1t is of ma
room or crimson damask silk and on it
is an outstretched arm with an uplift-
ed sword In the hand. The arm, hand
and sword are worked in silver. On the
flag are three circular figures, which
it is thought were put there to repre-
sent cannon balls. The words "Vince
ct Moriture" Conquer or Die) are on
u gold scroll. The flag is two feet long
and foot and half wide.
The design of the American flag may
be said to be an evolution and COM
bination of colors and designs long
antedating the American revolution.

The Findinq Of Old Glory.

When the day came that our revolu-
tionary fathers needed to design flag
for the new nation of their heroic
founding, they had but to lift their
eyes to the heavens to find the banner
of their faith and pride.
In the glowing West, in the burning
clouds of sunset sky--streaming
across the wide horizon in alternate
bands Of flame and mist-they saw the
symbol Of their own fair dreams, mys,
tic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked, there came a

.(HE principal colors in the flags
that fly throughout the world
this year Of our Lord, 1919,
today are red, white and
blue in diverse combinations. Here
and there green is shown, but red,
white and blue are the celors of nine
teen out of twenty-five national flags
and are the colors Of practically all
the flags of the nations of Europe.
The significance of national colors
goes back to the days of heraldry and
many of the devices displayed on flags
are either heraldic designs or have
been derived from such designs. Red
stands for courage and military forti-
tude, blue symbolizes loyalty and truth
and white stands for peace and SINGER
ity. In the Italian, Irish, Brazilian
and Mexican flags green is one of the
,, colors, and in heraldry this color sig
nified hope and joy. Black, which APP
pears in the German flag in combina-
ton with red and white, stands for
constancy.
/ A historian has written that the
| farmers in the battle of Lexington car
ried the "cornet" or standard of the
Three County Troop. That banner
was devised for troop of cavalry
raised in the counties of Essex, Suf-

1859. The office Of color bearer of

the easiest In the world to
make, since all of its parts
are in straight lines. Any
schoolgirl who is able to sew can
make flag for about one-half of what
1t will cost her at store, and still
have stronger and more durable one
when she has it finished. There are
two principal ways of proceeding in
the making of an American flag. The
one used by most persons is to de-
termine first the width of the stripes
so that if the flag is to be made of
silk, ribbon may be purchased of a
standard width. From this the size
of the flag may be determined. The
second method is to decide either the
width or the length of the flag and
then compute the amount of material
from the size decided upon.
Let us assume that we wish to
make a flag from two-inch silk rib
bons, since two-inch ribbon is stand
ard size and may be purchased at any
dry goods store. Since the stripes
will be two inches wide, the width of
the canton, or the blue field, will be
seven times two inches, or IA inches,
and it's length will be the same, since
the canton of the American flag is
square. The canton is also one-third
of the length Of the flag. Then the
flag will be three times IA inches,
which equals AZ inches and the width
being 10 times two inches, or 26 inches.
Thus, to use two-inch ribbon, one will
have flag three and half feet long
and little more than two feet wide.
Material Needed.
The next thing is to determine just
how much two-inch ribbon must be
purchased, so that the stripes may be
made with little or no waste. There
are three full white stripes in the
complete length Of the flag. which
equals 1875 inches, and added to that
will be the three short stripes, two
thirds the length of the flag, or 81
inches. making total of 210 inches.
or about six yards. For the red stripes,
it is necessary to add one extra short
red stripe Of IA inches, which Is
about half of yard. Thus, for a
flag made with two-inch ribbon, 1t
will be necessary for the maker to
purchase six yards of white and six
and a half yards of red ribbon. The
canton will be seven inches square
and the stars may be- made from
smaller widths of ribbon. There must
be 48 stars arranged in six rows of
eight stars each. BY using a ruler,
the exact position of the stars may
be determined and they can be easily
cut if a paper pattern Is made be-
forehand.
BY the second method, one deter
mines the length of fiag--for example,
make the flag 81 inches long. BY ap-
plying the same process of computa-
ton backwards, the size of the can
ton will be seven inches square and
the width of stripes one inch. The
amount of material may be de-
termined by the same calculations used
In the first method.

The British ensign or Union Jack is

Jack is combination of the English
red cross of st. George on white

Andrew on blue field and the Irish
red cross of st. Patrick. The combina.
ton of the English and Scotch flags
was agreed on in 1906, soon after the

to the flag of the cross of st. Patrick
came later. England's Union Jack
