City Flag Display
Shows Improvement
Over 5 Years Ago
Fewer Violations of Code
Than in 1927 Reported
Following Survey.

Five or six times as many flags were
displayed here yesterday as on George
Washington's birthday anniversary IN
1927, the United States Flag Associa-
ton reported today.
"a personal survey OF the city OF
Washington made on February 22,
1927, as compared with the one made
Yesterday" the organization announced,
"shows that the National Capital has
made commendable progress in both
the number of United States flags dis
played and the correct manner in
which they were displayed.
''It is estimated that five or six
times as many flags were displayed yes
terday as were displayed on Washing
tons birthday anniversary five years
ago; also, with the exception of the
display of torn, soiled or badly faded
flags, practically no violations of the
flag code were noticed yesterday, while
five years ago violations of the flag
code were numerous, especially as re-
CARDS the incorrect display of the flag.
Evidently many people do not
kno wthat it is permissible to wash or
dry-clean the American flag and they
are not aware of the fact that 1t is a
violation of the flag code to display
torn, Soiled or faded flags. While the
survey made yesterday shows that many
more flags are now being displayed in
Washington than formerly, the great
majority Of homes and business places
are still without flags.
with the thought that the National
Capital should set an example for the
rest of the Nation, the United States
Flag Association recently inaugurated a
program whereby every home and place
of business In Washington would by
Flag day, June IA, Of this year, the

had no tradition Of his English an

He never knew more than that his
great-grandfather had emigrated dur
ing the usurpation of Oliver Cromwell, 4"

the Garter King at Arms in 1871, with
out seeing the joke that he himself

What Might Have Been.
AS the gracious lady who was nv

Washingtons living today in modern
circumstances on fragments of their
ancestral farm, wondered if they ever
sighed for what might have been.

and founded kingly dynasty instead
of contenting himself with being the

By JAMES MORGAN.

In Washington's country-as 1t is
written, and 1t has been mostly written
in the North-history depicts old Vir-
ginia as the land Of gay and festive
cavaliers, who appear to have had lit
tie else to do but hunt, race, dance,
dine and sip their toddy on high-col-
umned porticos, with black slaves at
tendant.
But we turn leaf and, suddenly.
unwarned, we gaze in puzzled wonder
at a procession of giant Virginlans
marching across the page.
If that race of Titans had come out
of New England we would ascribe their
virtues to long lines of plain-living and
high thinking Puritan ancestors. But
we are left without a background for
Washington and the greatest group in
our political and military history until
we know truly the country which pro-
duced them.
No Gold Spoons.
Visit 1t even today, and one receives
sure corrective of the persistent de-
lusion that they were born with gold
spoons in their mouths and reared in
luxury.
The greatest Of Virginians were al
most wholly derived from an adven-
turous and laborious backwoods aris-
tocracy, which would not have been
ariStocratic at all $50 miles to the
north, on the free-son side Of the
Mason and Dixon line.
This Washington country still Is q
strange little world of forests and
streams and hills, with 10 counties that
whistle. It Is a rural Venice which
daunted the railroad builders, and I
am told that as recently as 10 years
ago there was not even bridge in its
entire length Of 100 miles and breadth
of some 20 miles.
In motoring the A miles from Fred
ericksburg to Wakefield, I came to
three side roads which led, In turn, to
the birthplaces of Madison, Monroe and
Washington, who held the presidency
for "a of the first SO years Of the Re
public. Still another side road, a few
miles below Wakefield, took me to
Stratford, under whose roof were born
Richard Henry and his brother, Fran
els Lightfoot Lee, signers Of the Dec
laration; their two brothers, Arthur

Revolution, and Robert E., whose
father acclaimed the dead Washington
in that memorable phrase: First in
war. first in peace, first In the hearts
Of his countrymen."
Ancestor Driven Ashore.
Like most of those who have reflect
ed glory on this northern neck of Vir-
ginia, the Washingtons were a river
family from the day their 23-year- -old
immigrant ancestor, coming over as the
second man" on ship, was driven
ashore in the Potomac, until a CEN
tury and third afterward, when his IL

C. C. Long of D. c. Gives Ad-

BY a staff Correspondent Of The Star.

BY STAFF Correspondent OF The Star.
RICHMOND, Va, February 23.-It
was the spirit Of George Washington
that made million Americans invinci-
bic on the fields Of France, it was de-
clared last night by Charles Colfax
Long of Washington in an address be-
fore a special Bicentennial session of
the Virginia General Assembly.
Mr.. Long was not only the speaker,
but also the guest of honor at last
nights session, which was attended by
Gov. John Garland Pollard. Speaker
j. Sinclair Brown presided and intro
duced the speaker.
Merits All Possible Honor.
During his address Mr.. Long asserted
that George Washington deserves all
honor that grateful American people
can confer"
so far as we have departed from
the principles established by him." the
speaker said, so far have We en-
dangered the sacred Constitution of the
United States"
undergone four stages, Mr.. Long said.
The first was one In which the
American people regarded him as a
God without fault, thereby losing the
value of the human side. The second
was one of veiled ridicule, the third a
cool and deliberate effort to pull his
reputation down and the fourth, which
the American people are now passing
through, is one of attempting to hu-
mamie him.
He described Washington as South
ern gentleman, an ariStocrat and one
who obtained democracy for a ma
tion. He resisted every allurement Of
dtshonor."
"Did Each Task Braveiy."
Mr.. Long declared Washington was
not tnfallible but, Being a man and
an American, he bravely did to the best
Of his ability every task falling to
him"
The influence he founded, the speak
er said, has extended to every corner of
the earth, for liberty Is slowly extend
ing to every nation.
In conclusion, the speaker decried
the fact that 122 million people yester-
day paid tribute to Washington without
proper regard for the mother who pre-
pared him for the duties OF leading the
American people to the place they now
hold In the world. Without her in
fluence, he said, Washington might have
been q great leader, but would never
have exhibited the human traits that
marked his career.
