Evolution of Flag Which We
Call Star Spangled Banner

Evolution of the American flag 10
the banner of~1hirteen stripes and
forty-eight stars which today is the
emblem OF the United States is the
story OF a group OF historic banners
which shows that the American ban
ner dates many centuries back of the
| days Of Betsy Ross, to whom the
making OF the first flag is credited
in history.
Arranging in their chronological
order the "ancestors' of Old Glory,
there comes first the banner of Scot
land, dating back to the year 94S
A. D., a blue field with a white cross
or satire OF st. Andrew. II Is this
| blue field that is In the Stars and
Stripes today.
The banner OF England of 1879. a
white field with red cross of st
George. was carried by John CABOT
/ in l497 when he esta ablished Eng
lands claim In North America.
The third flag is the Jacques
un!on" OF 1905, the union of the
crosses, formed by placing the ban
ner OF England on that OF Scotland
1t was this flag that was flown by
the Susan Constant, which carried
settlers to jamestown, Va, May 10,
1907, and by the Mayflower. which
took the Pilgrims TO New Plymouth,
Mass. on December 23, 1920.
The English colonial flag OF 1928
was carried by the American colo
NAL troops in King Williams wal
against the French and Indians IN
1859 ed 1897. II Is red field with
the banner OF England in the canton.
From this red field the seven red
stripes of the American flag were
derived go,
The British colonial flag Of 1907
was a red field with the union or
the crosses, Jacques Union" In the
canton in place OF the banner Ot
England. This flag was carried by
the American colonial troops in the
attack on Acadia in 1710 during
Queen Anne's war; in the taking OF
Louisburg by New England troops

The flag OF the United States oi
America, 1875, the first OF the
striped flags, carries thirteen alter'
nate red and white stripes with thf
union and crosses of "Jacque,
Union" in the canton, IT is derived
by cutting the red field OF the colo
nial flag of the mother country up
into seven stripes and the addition
of six alternate white stripes. These
thirteen stripes, Of course represent

SEEK REFORM
Of THE BENCH
Bar Association Desires to
0. K. Judges Be-
fore Selection
, BOOST CANON ETHICS
Would Exercise Surveillance
Over Conduct of Legal
Practitioners Generally

ST. LOUIS, Aug. i5.-More or
ganiZed activity by bar associations
in the selection OF III candidates for
judicial offices is urged by the com
mittee on professional ethics and
grievances In a report prepared for
presentation at the annual conven.
ton of the American Bar assoCia-
ton here. August 2b-27.
In the opinion OF the committee
"an appoinuve judiciary, with a
preliminary indorsement OF Candi-
dates by the bar, is the ideal man
ner to secure uniformly efficient
bench"
The report also emphasizes the
need for thorough cooperation OF
, embers OF the judiciary and the
J bar, for the purpose OF maintaining
high professional standards In legal
practice.
Questionnaires seeking sugges-
tions as to how this cooperation
might be accomplished best have
been sent out to approximately 1900
members OF the judiciary through
out the United states, during the
mast year, according to the report,
which has been made public by tho
local committee In charge OF ar.
rangemonts.
In reply, II states, recommenda
ton has been made that the bars
in the various localities be incor-
porated, with the canon OF ethics at
a mart of their constitution. Wher-
ever this plan Us carried out, the
recommen dation Is made that tht

plete supervision OF the activities OF
all practicing attorneys and of those
who follow the profession without
first having met the prescribed tests
The report suggests that the lack
OF proper tests as TO character oil
applicants OF admission to the BAT
is the cause of many unworthy mef
slipping in"
Many points as to ethical practice
have been raised during the year
according to the report, and tins
committee, in turn, II states, has
sought to obtain comprehensive in
formation as to the ethical observ
Ances in courts throughout the
United States and the disciplinary
practices invoked, for breaches oi
professional conduct,
one OF the recommendation en-
bodied in the report is that the com
mittee be centralized to allow the
holding of confernces at stated
times, In order to act on important
questions which arise.
