hoisted first and lowered last.
No such flag or pennant flown
in the former position should
be placed above, or in the latter
position to the right of the flag
of the United States of Amer
lea, i. e., to the observers left.
Proper use of Bunting
Bunting of the national COL
ors should be used for cover
ing a speakers desk, draping
over the front of a platform and
for decoration in general. Bunt-
ing should be arranged with the
blue above, the white in the
middle and the red below.
6. When flags of two or more
nations are displayed they
should be flown from separate
stats of the same height and
the flags should be of approx
imately equal size. International
usage forbids the display of the
flag of one nation above that
of another nation in time of
peace.
7. When the flag is displayed
from a staff projecting horizon
tally or at an angle from the
window sill, balcony or front
of building. the union of the
flag should go clear to the peak
of the staff unless the flag Is at
h~alf-Staff. when the flag is
suspended over a sidewalk from
a rope, extending from a house
to a pole at the edge of the
sidewalk, the flag should be
hoisted out from the building
towards the pole, union first).
8. When the flag is displayed
in a manner other than by
being flown from a staff, it
should be displayed flat, whe-
Their indoors or out. When dis
played either horizontally or
vertically against a wall, the un-
ion should be uppermost and
to the flags own right, j. e., to
the Observers left. When dis
ployed in a window it should be
displayed the same way, that is,
with the union or blue field to
the left of the observer in the
street. When festoonS, rosettes,
or drapingS are desired, bunting
of blue, white and red should be
used, but never the flag.
9. When displayed over the
middle of the street, the flag
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.
10. When used on a speakers
platform, the flag, if displayed
flat should be displayed above
and behind the speaker; if
flown from a staff, it should
be in the position of honor, at
the speakers right. It Should
never be used to cover the Spea-
ker's desk nor to drape over the
front of the platform.
II. When used in connection
with the unwilling of a statue
or monument, the flag should
form a distinctive feature dur
ing the ceremony, but the flag
itself should never be used as
the covering for the statue.
IL. When flown at half staff
the flag should be hoisted tc
the peak for an instant ano
then lowered to the half-Staf1
position; but before lowering
the flag for the day it Shoulc
be raised again to the peak
BY half-staff is meant hauling
down the Flag to one-half TIT
distance between the top ant
the bottom of the staff. If To-
cal conditions require, diverg
ence from this position Is per
missable. On Memorial Day
May 30th, the flag is displayed
at half-Staff from sunrise unit
noon and at full staff from
noon until sunset; for the ma
ton lives and the flag is tn
symbol of the living nation.
10. Flags flown from fixet
