The Closed Car Passes.
| laughed involuntarily at his non
sense. but the query which had an
noyed me many times before came
freshly to my mind. Why did he
always make that ridiculous little
pause before the name of Edith
Fairfax? Was it because he always
thought of her first when the two
sisters were under discussion, began
to speak her name first, and then
involuntarily paused because he
feared l might notice it and caught
himself and went on for the same
reason? No doubt I would have
gone on tormenting myself in
definitely if my attention had not
been distracted by the sudden blow
ing of an auto horn back of us, the
signal that a car behind us wished
to pass.
To my surprise-for I knew that
it this car was like the others owned
by Major Grantland there were few
in the world which could pass it il
its owner wished to keep it ahead,
and he usually did so wish-he drew
the car to one side of the road, and
the closed car which we had seen at
the station flew by us.
The officer reduced his speed at
once until we were almost crawling.
As the car ahead disappeared
around one of the curves of the
winding road Major Grantland
spoke tersely:
Look out for anything coming
behind, Graham, I'm going to back"
He threw the big machine into re-
verse, and with his head turned to-

run the car back as dexterously and
almost as swiftly as he had beer,

WHY?-
Is the Stars and Stripes the
American Flag1
Copyright. 1920. by the Wheeler

Syndicate, Inc.)
Practically all American his
tories record the fact that on
June IA, l777, the continental
congress passed a resolution to
the effect that: "The flag of the
thirteen United States (shalD be
IS stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be IS stars,
while in a blue field, representing
new constellation"
So much is known, but the rest
of the early history of the flag
the reason for the selection of
the stars and stripes and the
identity of the maker of the first
flag of this kinds shrouded in
mystery. The majority of author
tiles declare that the stars and
stripes idea was selected by the
continental congress because of
the fact that Washington's coat
of arms contained both of these
insignia, but this is by no means
certain. The only definite state
merit that we have on the sub
ject is the resolution by congress
and the fact that the flag was
first carried in battle at the
Brandywine on September II,
l777. The rest is almost as vague
as the Betsy Ross legend, found
ed on the fact that Elizabeth Ross
made flags for the navy previous
to the act of congress referred to
above. But there is no evidence
to prove that she made the first
flag with the IS stars and stripes.
