10 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, APRIL 7, 1917. STARS AND STRIPES OVER LAP OF FREE Correct Flag Should Have Forty-Eight Stars On the Background of Blue. STAR FOE EACH OF STATES "Old By A. R. GROH. The "Stars and Stripes,' Glory." If your copy of the flag is cor rect and up-to-date, it has forty-eight stars, arranged in six rows of eight stars each. The last two stars were added in 1912 when Arizona and New Mexico were admitted. The blue field or "union" in which the stars are placed should extend to !he lower edge of the fourth red stripe from the top. The garrison flag of the United States amy measures thirty-six feet fly and twenty feet hoist. ("Fly" is the designation of the larger meas urement of the flag, and "hoist" that of the smaller). The storm flag is twenty feet by ten and the recruiting dig nine feet, nine inches by four feet, four inches. The flag should be hoisted, prefer ably, at sunrise, but not earlier than that, and never later than 8 o'clock. It should be hauled dowt. at sunset. When it flies widi other flags the national flag should be at the right. Not Used for Advertising. The law forbids Hie use of the flag for advertising purposes. . The flag placed at half-staff is a sign of mourning. When placed up side down it is a sign of distress. There are various other official flags of various branches of this gov ernment. The president's flag, for in stance, is blue with the coat-of-arms of the United States. The secretary ot the navy's flag is blue with an anchor and four stars in white. The secre tary of war's flag is red, having upon it an eagle with outstretched wings. ' The revenue marine ensign, the yacht ensign, the admiral's flag, rear admiral's flag and many others are used also. Up until June 14. 1777. many flags were used by the colonists. The cross and the pine tree figured prominently in these. There were many mottoes on them usually bidding defiance to the British king. The "rattlesnake flag" is well known. It showed a rattle snake with thirteen rattles and in an attitude to strike, with the legend, "Don't tread on mel" Had Thirteen it Firat. ' The continental congress, June 14, 1777. resolved "That the flag of the thirteen United States shall be thir teen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union shall be thirteen stars, 'white in a blue' field, representing a new tons'ellation." The design is said to have originated from the coat-of-arms of the Washington family, which contained both start and stripes. Vermont was admitted" to the union in 1791 and Kentucky in 1792, and the stripes were thereupon in creased to fifteen an the Btars to fifteen. In 1818 the number of states had increased to twenty and the pros pect of twenty atripea, and many more in the future, was not conducive to the beauty of the flag. Congress then passed an act making the num ber of stripes, permanently, thirteen, representing the thirteen original states: and provided that one atar should be added to the field on the Fourth of July following the admis sion of each new state. And the Sler.Spanfl.d Banner, O Ions' may It wave. O'er the land ot tha free and the home of the brave.
