\ to Wrong Use for Deco

RULES ARE GIVEN
Insists Care Should Be

Etiquette Here
RULES ARE GIVEN

Calling attention to the fact that

Ion Houston street in connection with
1.-THE decorations for the Fiesta celebra-
Etion, Alamo Post No. 2. American Le-
<gion, has directed letter of protest
Ito ]. Raybauld, manager of the Fiesta
Association, asking that the misuse
of the flag be corrected.
The letter, signed by Charles w.
Scruggs, post adjutant, assures the
EFiesta Association that the American
kLegion does not believe that the rules
governing the proper display of the
Alag have been maliciously violated,
but that it is being done through
simple ignorance of the proper respect
TO the flag of our country"
Because of the fact that San An
tonic contains the largest army post
jim the country. the American Legion
contends, it is especially imperative
flor San Antonians to exercise met
iculous care in conforming to flag ETH
guette. In fact. it is the position of
the Legion that what would be ex-
cusable, through ignorance, in other
sections of the country, should not be
excusable in this city where the flag
plays such an important part in the
life of the community.
Conference Drafts Rules.
Enclosed with the letter was cir
cular showing the proper method of
displaying the flag. The circular con-
tains a compilation of the rules
drafted at q conference of representa-
tives of 6S organizations which met at
washington last June to draft code
of flag etiquette. While the rules
drafted at the conference under the
auspices of the National Americanism
Commission of the American Legion
have no official government sanction,
they represent the opinion of prac-
tically all patriotic bodies in the
United States as well as that of the
army and navy, the circular set
forth.
Almost everyone knows that the
flag must not be displayed upside
down except as signal of distress.
Almost every citizen knows that the
lag should not be placed in posi-
lion where it will trail on the ground ;
that it should not be placed under the
Flag of another country, and that it
should not be used for advertising
purposes. There are not so many
people. however, who are conyersant
with the finer points Of flag etiquette
that come ur when the flag is used
for decorative purposes, such as when
It is suspended over the middle of
streets, or when it is used in con-
Junction with other flags.
The fundamental rule is that the
American flag should be kept to the
right 1.-THE flags own right and not
the Observers right
"When displayed with another flag
hgainst a wall from crossed staffs, y
according to regulations. "the flag of
The United States should be on the
right, the flags own right, and its
staff should be in front of the staff
bf the other flag"
When displayed from a staff pro,
iecting horizontally or at an angle
From a window or building. the union
bf the flag should be at the head of
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-04-16

Of the street, as between buildings,
the flag of the United States should be
suspended vertically with the union
to the north in an east and west
street, or to the east in a north and
south street.
In other words, the flags that are
cust0mari ly draped above the center
of Houston and Commerce streets dur
ing Fiesta Week should have the blue
field TO the north. and those that are
draped along Alamo Plaza above the
street car tracks. and the cross streets
between Commerce and Houston.
should have the blue field to the
east.
Contrary to the general impression
there are even rules of etiquette to be
observed in the display and arrange.

ors which should be used instead Of
the flag for decoration in general
Bunting should be arranged with tn,
