cori.innnder of the American foics.

from time to time. An eastern te; chcr,
who wrote a letter printed by Chicr-.jro
imd New York newspapers, was rcspon
hible for the agitation re.ultinir in the
fstablishment of Flair day. In the
years since the world war, the day ban
been better observed than ever iefore.

be fihould show jt when it passes him.
lie reviewed the customs that have
prown up around the flan in the ierv
ire and in civilian life, and closed with
an inspiring tribute to the stars and
tripes.
Etiquette or the Flag.
Following are mme of the rules ob
served in connection with the Ameri
can flag:
The flag nhould not be hoisted be
fore sunrise nor allowed to remain up
after sunset.
The man who is in uniform should
salute in military style when the flag
coca by. but the man in civilian clothes
should stand at attention, take olT his
hat, and hold it against the left
shoulder. The same form is followed
during the playing of the "Star Span-
glen: lianncr.
Where several flags are displayed
on poles with the national flag, the
Stars and Stripes should be hoisted
first und on the tallest and most con
spicuous staff.
When carried with another flag in
u parade, tho colors claim the place
of honor at the rijzlit. If a numler
of flue are camvi the national flag
should j.ievede the others or be car
lied in the ce. tri on a higher start".
In draping colors, the simplest lu.e
is to i -member that the Stars and
Str:jes always should be placed in the
i foretiont, the njju of tne mgiiesi
elevation.
When u -el n an altar covering the
union should be at the rljrht as one
tacc the altar and nothing should ever
Ik placed upon the flag except the
Holy r.il.ie.
When ilags are used in unveiling a
monument, tablet or statue, they
should not fall to the ground, but be
carried aloft, forming a distinctive
feature of tho ceremony.
When the flag is flowu at half-mast
ns a sijrn of mourning, it should be
hoisted to full .-tatT at the conclusion
of the funeral.
In illustration of the flag, the stafT
should always be at the left of the
picture with the flag floating to th
liuht. When tvo flags are shown
cros-ed. the national flag should be at
the right.
The flag should never be used to
form a pait of a sofa pillow, a hand
kerchief, as a form of advertising or
a tablecloth. It rhnuld never be al
lowed to trail in the dust nor s
twjsted into fantastic designs or os
buntings.
Appropriate days on which to dis
play the flag are Lincoln's birthday.
Washington's birthday, Memorial day
Flag day, Independence day and Arm
istice day.
