a sample, whereupon she set to work
and completed a flag which was APP
proved. This was the flag that was
finally adopted by congress, and on
June ii, 1777, congress entered on Its
journal an official Endorsement OF the
Stars and Stripes in resolution word
ed as follows:
Resolved, That the flag Of the
United States be 10 stripes. alternate
red and white, end that the union be
10 stars white in a blue field, repre-
senting a new constellation"
The resolution says nothing about
the arrangement of the stars in the
field.
The ensign OF the United States re-
manned the same as fixed by the reso-
luton Of June IA, 1777, until 1905,
when Vermont and Kentucky had been
admitted TO the Union, and on January
ID, 1904, congress passed the following
act:
"That from and after the first day
OF May, 1905, the flag Of the United
States be 10 stripes alternate red and
white; that the union be Is stars
white In blue field"
In 1918, at the suggestion Of Sam
uel O. Reid. the original 10 stripes
were restored and congress voted to
add a new star on the Fourth OF July
succeeding the admission OF each new
state.
Significance Of Symbols.

Guthrie, ut will doubtless show at the
top on a golden ball the American
eagle, also golden, tapping his wide
wings, as IL just allghting or about to

Is the very prime symbol Of our de-
fensive and aspiring Union. II Is the
bird or angel Of our peace, our winged
Victory, our Phoenix, the point OF con-
tact and the vehicle of grace in our
intercourse with heaven. Embroidered
on blue field, star strewn, It is the
emblem OF the executive head of the

show of life and the berries that are

claims our constant purpose--a posi-

Now, in the left talon Of our her
aldic eagle are clutched the 10 arrows
which signify the threatening thunder

Inception Of the Flag.
The story OF the actual making Of
the first American flag as we know
II is not touched on by Mr.. Guthrie.
Omitting all minor particulars, the
main points are these:
Washington, accompanied by two
gentlemen, called one day in 1770 at
the little upholstery shop In Arch
street, Philadelphia, where Mrs. Betsy
Ross was carrying on business, and
asked her II she could make a flag.
She said that she had never made one,
but that she could try. They there
upon produced design rather roughly
drawn. She examined the design and.
noticing that the stars were slx-polnt-
ed, suggested that they be made with
five points, showing them how a FIVE
pointed star could be made with a
single clip Of the scissors.
Design Approved by Congress.
General Washington then and there
changed the sketch. and soon after a
colored design by painter named VIII
liam Barrett was sent to Mrs. Ross as

as commissioners for this absolute
ly vital community work, and that
sufiicient funds are made available
to secure really good work from
the consultant and from the local
staff. As above mentioned, 1t is
often desirable to have the game
commission do the city planning
and the zoning or, where sep
arately named commissions are re-
quired by law. to have the same
membership on both.
!. This suggests an important point
In the distinction between zoning
and city planning. Just now inter-
est Is centering in zoning. and II Is
often considered a separate thing
from general city planning. As a
matter of fact zoning is really one
branch Of city planning: 1t can be
done best only as a part of q
comprehensive city plan. and 1t
ought not to be done except on the
ground work of q general civic
survey and an outline of q compre-
hensivs plan. Realtors should not
lose sight of this aspect Of coming.
AT another point in the zoning
project realtors ad realty boards
can be Of particular service, name
ly, 1t the hearings where the pro-
posed coming ordinance is put up
for discussion. Being more familiar
with the purposes and methods of
coming than their clients of fellow
citizens. the realtor can do a great
deal in supporting sound restric-
tions. advocating high standards
and being satisfied with nothing
but the best for his town.
D.. The Ultimate Objective.
Finally. should like to empha.
size the Importance of esthetic con-
siderations. for the realtor as well
as for the city at large. Lately we
have been placing all the emphasis
on the city practical instead Of
on the "city beautiful" The latter
was often a misnomer and led to a
misunderstanding Of the purposes
of city planning.
nevertheless, every progressive
real estate man knows that his
business depends on the good an
pearance of the neighborhood in
which he specializes. and the ulti-
mate aim of city planning is to
produce a community both efficient
and beautiful. This ultimate OBJ
jective can be attained only II the
realtor and the city planner pull
together from the beginning with
that vision of the future for their
city always in mind"

The continued high rate of ac-

Development Engineer
Tells of Advantages Ac-

REALTORS ASSIST
Many Cities Adopting Meas
ures Of Comprehensive
Zone Planning.

In . recent article published in
the National Real Estate Journal.
Jacob L. Crane. jr- discusses the
advisability of zoning in the larger
cities and cites the experiences Of
many towns. The article, published
here in full, is as follows:
The American people have reached
a decision winch will sooner or later
concern every town in the country.
We are beginning to appreciate the
enormous waste and the pitifully in
adequate results Of unplanned city
growth. And we have decided to re-
place the old lack of method by the
system known as city planning; that
is. the replanning and Improvement
of existing development and the
preparation of plans to control fu-
ture growth so that orderly, eco
nomical. adequate development will
gradually replace the makeshift
towns in which We live and work.
1t is a simple and obvious decision.
but it is momentous. for 1t prom
ises to rehabilitate all the urban
communities in the country.
How much has been done SO far?
In answering this question the fol-
lowing facts are impressive: All
Of the sixteen largest cities in the
country have begun comprehensive
city planning; fifty-seven Of the 100
largest cities have definitely taken
it up; all told, at least $50 towns
and cities are working on their city
plans, and an equal number have
passed OF are preparing zoning or
dinances. About three-fourths of
this work has been east of the
Mississippi and about so per cent in
the Northern States. One hundred
and fifty communities, from coast to
coast, have reached the point of
civic foresight necessary for con-
scious planning of their develop
ment from now on.
