The American flag, which waves from every flagpole in the land on Independence Day is q very old flag. tricolor of France. for instance, or the flag of Germany.
 But the stripes are older than the stars.
 Dclvins into the early history Of Old Glory is fascinating task. Congress adopted the present fag -l3 red and white stripes, with one blue star for every state in a field of blue-on June Ii, l777, and Betsy Ross promptly won herself immortality by making one to that order. But before that date there had been many American tiags-all of them faintly like the present one. but none of them very much like it.
 Took Stripes From Dutch
 The colonists took naturally to the idea of stripes in their flag.
 The New Englanders had, many Of them. come to the New World via Holland. and there they had be come familiar with the flag of the Dutch repuDlic-a f@g containing seven horizontal stripes. alternately green alld white. The Colonists who came over later often were transported on Dutch ships, and hence were familiar with the striped design.
 Those who did not come in Dutch ships usually came in vessels of the British East Indian company, which flew striped flag all it's own.
 The British flag ot that period was solid red banner with the cross of St. George in a white field in the upper left hand corner. So that their ships could identify one another easily, the East India com- pany modified this flag by running white stripes across the red part.
 Thus, when the colonistS began casting about for a distinctive flag, the striped flag was one they Wou,d naturally think of.
 Flag Needed at sea
 X distinctive flag Was more Of Il necessity for ships at sea than for troops on land, who could rocoG- nize the nationality Of any forces they encountered. So. in lII5 and l776, we md American Warshtps and privatecrs hoisting the famous rattlesnake tIag-a flag of l3 al ternate red and white stripes with rattlesnake across them, bearing the words, Don't tread on me-
 Probably the first use of stars in the American flag was also at sea. Late in 1775 the armed American schooner Lee hoisted white flag which had an anchor and the word Hope" Tn the middle, with l3 stars in the union. in the upper left cor ner. Flying this flag. the Lee cap tured the British transport brig Nancy. thus carrying the starred flag into action for the first time. Later this flag was carried by colonial de- tachmentI at BraudyVine, Trenton and Yorktown.

til' iii 7t hoNu, tillN4 u AN lll"lilti Lli' most popular untll Washington took command of the army New Years | Day, l776. wi hen he hoisted the fam ous grand union flag" over the headquarters ct the Continental army.
 Enoh>h Descendant This grand union flag was q dl- rect descendant of the British en- sign; and It shows. incidentally. that at that time the colonists still de sired to remain in the British en- pire, if they could get parliamentary representation.
 In the upper left corner it bore the British union-the crosses that symbolize the union of Scotland and | England bat the remainder of the flag was composed of 13 horizontal red and white stripes, representing the 13 colonies.
 There remained, however, large number of kinds of flags in service: and since these often caused con- fusion at sea, congress was earnest ly asked to adopt one uniform flag Accordingly, on June 3, 177T, con 2reSs passed this resolution:
 Resolved, that the flag of the 13 United States shall be 13 stripes alternate red and White hat the union be 13 stars, white in a blue field, representing q new constella- tion."
 This flag. it is to he noted, was an easy transition from the grand union flag. All that had to be done was substitute the field of stars for the British cross in the upper left corner of the ensign.
 The position of the stars in the field often varied with the taste of each individual Betsy Ross. it is said, arranged the stars in each flag 1 sine made in accordance with the wishes of the persons for whom she was making the flags
 On" of the most interesting Amer lC4n fiaCS in existence is one flown hy the famous old frieate tonsti- tuition, II has its F stars arrang- od in a clrcle, with enc star in the center and four stars oatside the circle in the corners Of the union. Iii 1795 Kentucky and Vermont were admitted to the Union, and the flag was then revised to contain t5 stars and Is stripes; and 1t was this flag that flew over Fort McHenry during tEc British attack on Balti- more and inspired the writing Of the Star Spangled Banner" In ISIS, however, it was seen that new stripe could not possibly be add cd for every new state, so Captain Samuel Reid of the navy. a hero of the war of 1912, was asked to de sign a flag. He designed the flag now ill use-15 stripes, representing the original 8 colonies, and star m the union for every state.

NEW MOVE IN CREDIT
SITUATION DUE TO-DAY

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 11.-Wall
Street will have to wait until after the
special meeting of the Federal Reserve
Bank directors today to determine the
next move in the endeavor to restrict
the supply of funds available for stock
market purposes. The more optimistic
do not anticipate an advance in the
local rediscount rate, despite the Eng
fish bank action. They contend sucn
a procedure would place both rates on
the same parity that existed before the
Bank of England action and thereby
encourage renewal Of the gold move
ment to this country. A rise in the
discount rate also would tend to adj
vance commercial paper rates to 524
per cent, or possibly per cent.
Those of the opinion that the
liquidating movement in the stocks has
by no means run its course attribute
the slight rally at the close Friday to
nothing more than the covering in of
short contracts by those whose &C
counts were in a position to take ad-
vantage of the drastic break.

a time when money should be getting
easier rather than firmer
This had direct and pronounced eff
feet on high-grade issues. 1t led to
sufficient selling in United States Gov
eminent bonds to carry the Liberty 3I2s
and the first and fourth Alas to the
lowest prices of the year, the last two
being well under par. The long-term
Treasury certificates were also weak.
The market for tax-exempt issues was
softer, short-time bonds eased off mod
erately and in the legal rails and public
utilities there was considerable addi-
ton to the already large list of new low
prices.
The average of the domestic market
is now as low as it was during the
panicky period of last July and August.
The difference, however, Is that supplies
OF bonds are moderate, although there
is beginning to be further institutional
selling.
The convertibles rallied moderately
from last weeks closing along with
the recovery in the stocks into which
they are eXchangeable. International
Telephone 412s at one time sold IA
points higher and American Interna-
tional 5las had about the same gain.
Allegheny Corporation SIS and Inter-
