Flag Day
The Story of Old Glory.
Who suggested the combination
of stars and stripes which makes
01d lory the most beautiful ban-
. ner in all the worldl Nothing
~ really authentic on the subject is
known. Various ideas have been
suggested. Some writers claim
that they were taken from George
Washington ’s coat of arms. Oth-
ers claim that the stripes were
taken from the thirteen stripes in
the banner of the Philadelphia
Troop of Light Horse. But we
do know that the first flag from
which this combination of Stars
and Stripes appeared. was made
by Betsy Ross, who kept an up-
holstery shop at her little home,
No. 239 Arch Street, Philadelphia,
s place of great interest to visitors
at the present day. That was the
birthplace of Old Glory.
The first time that the new flag
of the United States was flown in
battle was at Fort Stanwix, re-
named Schuyler, where Rome,
New York, now stands. The first
salute ever given to Old Glory by
a foreign power was when the
ship Ranger, commanded by Paul
Joncs. entered a French harbor in
1778 and received a salute from
the harbor forts. '
For a period of seventy years
before the War of the Revolution
took place, the rod ensign of Great
Britain was the flag generally
used by the 'American colonies.
This was called the Union flag be-
cause in the upper corner was a
rm! cross of St. George represent-
ing England and a white cross
which represented Scotland. Dur-
ing the first two years of the
Revolutionary War, all kinds of
battle flags were carried on land
7 and sea. Some of the designs
were serious, many of them were
comic.
One of the must peculiar em-
blems used on flags of that period
was the Rattlesnake. The motto
on those Rattlesnake flags was,
“Don't Tread on Me i” Another
favorite device. was a pine tree, of
which several varieties were
shown. These were frequently
used in the early part of the
Revolution.
The first flag to show thirteen
stripes, but having, in place of the
stars. the crosses of St. George
and St. Andrew, was what was
known as the Great Union flag
hoisted over the American camp
at Cambridge in the year 1776.
The design of this flag came very
close to being the Star-Spangled
Banner.
It is peculiar that two trees are
closely associated with the history
of our flag. First, the Pine Tree,
which, as explained, was used on
some of the earlier flags. This'
device also appeared on silver
coins of the Massachusetts colony
as early as 1650. The second tree,
and one far more important, was
the Liberty Tree. This was a
grand old elm, which stood in a
grove on what is now Washington
and Essex Streets, Boston. The
location of this tree is at present
marked by a building on the front
of which is a base-relief of the
tree, with the words, “Liberty
Tree."
This old tree was the scene of
many patriotic meetings. Novem-
ber 3, 1773, the citizens of Boston
gathered under this tree to con-
sider resolutions prohibiting the
consignees of the cargoes of téa
which were on board ship on their
way to Boston from selling the
tea on American soil, and demand-1
mg that it should be promptly re-
turned to London. The resolution
by the colonists was ignored, re-
sulting in the famous “Boston
Tea. Party,” which took place
December 6,1773, when hundreds
gt chests of tea were cast into the

necessary to change this law
again, and in 1818 a resolution
was presented to the House of
Representatives providing that
the flag be thirteen stripes. that
the union have twenty stars, and
that on the admission of a new
state one star be added. This he-
came a law on April 4, 1818, when
the bill was signed by President
Monroe. Since that time, when-
ever a new state is admitted the
stars in the union are slightly re-
arranged so as to accommodate
the extra star. The thirteen
stripes will in all probability for-
ever remain as they are, thus pre-
serving for all time to come the
remembrance of those thirteen
original states upon which this
When the stars were added to
thirteen stripes, there was a good
uel 0. Reid, commander of the
famous privateer, General Arm-
strong, was invited to suggests
design for the proposed arrange-
ment of stars. He recommended
that these be formed. into one
large five-pointed star, symbolic-
ing the national motto, “E Pluri-
bus Unum,”'and that a star be
added for each new state.
It was soon found that such a
plan Wouldmot lie-practicable, as
it was clear; that, ps the number
of states increased, the-individual
stars composing the one large star
would be so small as to lie" almost
indistinguishable. The plan of
arranging the stars in parallel
rows was then adopted, md this
arrangement has continued ever
since. - .7 - r. . :
