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.
More Deaths from Measles,
Than from Diphtheria
Health Commissioner Connell re-
?iorti more deaths from measles than
rom diphtheria this year. Thirty-five
cases were reported during the first
five days of t'..ia month.
