the IL alternate red and white stripes,
representing the United Colonies, in
blue canton, which was raised on
Prospect hill, Cambridge, on the first
day Of January, 1776, has never been
satisfactorily determined. 1t Is COM
monty thought that the continental
congress appointed George Washing
ton, George Ross and Robert Morris
committee, authorized to design q
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-
drmation of this report is not to be-
found in the Journal Of Congress.
There seems to be little doubt that
the American flag is growth rather
than a creation. Few Of the writers
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 II, 1777, the American con.
gress In session at Philadelphia adopt
ed the following resolution:
Resolved, That the flag Of the 10
United States be Is stripes, alternate
red and white, that the Union be ID
stars, white in blue field, represent
ing a new constellation"
The credit Of making the first flag
is given to Betsy Ross. William ].
Candy, a grandson of Mrs. Ross, de-
clared that Betsy Ross was shown
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
iHgton 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 num-
bered 4S. The law did not provide
how the stars were to be arranged,
and for a long time a considerable di-
versity existed in this respect. How.
ever, on October 90 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.

LET WHlSTLERS BE WARNED
New York Newspaper Is Emphatic
- In Its Declaration of Uncom-
promising Hostility.

Reader, have you ever been made
frantic and exasperated beyond meas
ure by some man whistling in your
neighborhood? Did you ever sit In a
tram car and hear one Of these
nuisances blow noises out through
puckered lips? If you have, you can
well sympathiZe with the unidentified
person who listened to Moses Cohen
whistle in q local motion-picture thea
ter and arose and slew him on the
spot. We regret the killing; it was
uncalled for; unlawful; dreadful; not
to be tolerated. Law sleuths are on
the track of the killer, and. Of course.
as upholders of law, with almost puri-
tanical vehemence we hope he will be
caught. And yet persons
should not whistle in cinema theaters,
or In tram cars, or In the streets, or
In shops, or In newspaper offices, or
any other place on the face of the
green earth where they can be heard.
We have spoken.-New York Evening
Telegraph.

LIKE BETSY ROSS
Girl Of 1919 May Easily
Construct Her Own
Starry Flag.
.(HE American flag is one of
n the easiest in the world to

the easiest in the world to
make, since all Of it's 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 a stronger and more durable one
when she has 1t 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 ii 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 ~ inches and the width
being 13 times two inches, or &c inches.
Thus, to use two-inch ribbon, one will
have flag three and half feet long
and a 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
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 q total of 210 inches,
or about six yards. For the red stripes,
1t 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, it
will be necessary for the maker to
purchase six yards Of white and six
and 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 ruler,
the exact position of the stars may
be determined and they can be easily
cut If paper pattern is made be-
forehand.
BY the second method, one deter
mines the length of f1ag-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.
