Weekly of May 10Th gives few peril
nent suggestions as to the use of the flag
on such occasions: "The man who is in
uniform salutes in military style when
the flag goes by. when in citizens clothes
he should take off his hat and hold 1T
against his left shoulder. In draping the
flag the simplest rule is that the Stars
and Stripes always claim the place or
honor, the forefront, the right or the
highest elevation. The flag should never
be allowed to touch the ground. On Me-
mortal Day run the flag to the top of the
pole; then halfmast it until noon. From
noon until sunset let it fly from the top
of the staff.
