with the flag as we know it today.
Story Of Betsy Ross
Mrs. Ross was a widow. Late in
the spring of 1875 her little shop on
Arch street, Philadelphia, was visit
ed by some distinguished persons. A
committee, headed by George Wash
ington, called on Mrs. Ross and sub
mitted rough design of a new type
of flag which they asked her to
make. Stars in the blue field had
been substituted for the crosses of
st. George and st. Andrew.
Descendants of Betsy have vouch-
ed for the authenticity of the histor-
ic visit, and it is known that not
long afterward Congress made an
order on the treasury to pay Mrs.
Ross a sum amounting to upward of
seventy dollars in the British cur
rency then used 'for flags for the
fleet in the Delaware River"
June IA, 1777, more than a year
after Washington's visit to the little
flag shop, is now recognized as the
flags official birthday. On that date
Congress resolved "That the flag Of
the thirteen United States be thir-
teen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in a blue field, repre-
senting a new constellation"
Thereafter numerous incidents re-
lative to the new flag began to make
their appearance in history. Less
than three weeks after Congress had
authorized the flag, John Paul Jones
was at Portsmouth, N. H., preparing
to sail abroad on the Ranger"
AT Portsmouth" writes one naval
authority, paul Jones attracted
about him bevy of girls who form
ed a so-called flag bee,' who with
much patriotic enthusiasm and many
heart thrills wrought out of their
own and their mothers gowns a
beautiful Star Spangled Banner,
which was thrown to the breeze in
Portsmouth HarbOr on July 4, 1777."

The birthday of Old Glory, June
IA, should bring responsive thrill
to every patriotic American.
It is the most beautiful of all ma
tional colors. Our flag has pointed
the way to freedom to countless
thousands; it's stars and stripes have
been an inspiring symbol for more
than a century and a half. 1t stands
for patriotism, loyalty and fidelity
to the ideals of America.
"0ld GIOry's" Ancestors
This attractive emblem of our ma
ton that has come down to us
through. the years has been evolved
from those earlier banners that once
cheered the hearts of the colonists.
In the early days of the RevOlu-
ton there were many striking flag
designs. Some bore rattlesnakes with
the ominous words of warning,
Don't tread on me-" emblazOned on
their folds. Others showed the pine
tree symbol with the words, can
appeal to heaven" Some showed
both the pine tree and rattlesnake,
or beavers, anchors, and State mot
toes.
Delivers into the flag lore of our
country will find scores of such
types, each emblematic of the hopes,
visions and aspirations of the people
who had not yet found liberty and
freedom for which they were striv-
ing.
The first flag in general use by
the c0lonists consisted of thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white,
twpifying the thirteen colonies, with
a union bearing the crosses of st.
George. and st. Andrew, where the
stars in the blue field now appear.
1t was called the Grand Union Flag,
or First Naval Ensign, and it was
the immediate predecessor of the
Stars and Stripes, which we so Of
ten call Old Glory.
Romance has traiIed Old Glory
from the beginning. It harks back to
the days of Betsy Ross, whose nim-
BILE fingers wrought with loving
care the first sample of the national

EXPEDITION FINDS
ARTEM|S TEMPLE
ExcavatorS Expect Even
More Startling Discoveries
in Transiordania.
By the Associated Press.


JERUSALEM, December 10. - The
Jewish Telegraphic Agency learns that
q large colonnaded court and the beau
tiful Temple of Artemis. one of the
principal deities of Greek mythology,
were uncovered yesterday at Jerash by
the Joint expedition of Yale University
and the American School of Oriental
Research in Jerusalem.
Jerash the ancient Greek City OF
Gerasa, in Transjordania, is believed
to be the Biblical Ramoth Gilead. AS
late as the second and third centuries
of the Christian era it was fiourishing
center of Greek civilization devoted to
the special worship of ArtemiS. The
ruins were found in 1906.
The clearing was difficult, as the
debris reached down 20 feet amid the
magnificent stones that have fallen from
the walls of the temple, one of the best
preserved buildings of Roman times,
but the portico and corridors uncov-
cred indicate that the base of the great
altar will be found soon. Two fine
mosaic floors with inscriptions were
laid bare and hundreds of coins were
turned up in the remains of buildings
from Arab, Byzantine and Roman times.
Later buildings and debris cover the
newly discovered small temple with an
altar and column base. Dozens of
plundered tombs complete with great
locks and chains, all containing the
remains of interesting offerings for the
dead including terra Gotta figurines,
masks, lamps and great variety of
vessels, were also found. The pile in
front of Artemis' Temple yielded a great
variety of lamps and terra Gotta ikons.
DR.. G. G. McCown, director of the
American School and the dean of the
Pacific School of Religion at Berkeley,
Calf, told the Jewish Telegraphic
Agency that he and Prof c. I. Fischer
believe that further excavations promise
even more startling discoveries.
