History of the American F!a.j We think, of ourselves as *t your... country, but we have one oh? est written constitutions under \vni/i ;i nation operates ar.d our flag: is om of the oldest ones in existence. When our forefathers came fron Kuiope to settle in this country which is now the I'nited States. the\ brought with them the flairs of theii home countries, and planted them or the new territory in symbol of taking possession of it in the name of theii liege kings and lands. Gradually the colonies came to belong to England, and the Union Jack became the flag of all, with the thirteen colonies rep resented by thirteen stripes and the Union Jack in the corner. This flag was known as the Grand Union or Cambridge flag, and was displayed when Washington first took command of the army at Cambridge. It was raised on December '!. 1775, on the Alfred, flajrship of the new little American navy, by the senior lieutenant of the ship. John Paul Jones, who later defended it gallantly in many battles at sea. m., iillv .1 I77i>. the Declaration of \ independence was signed in Philadelphia and the United Colonies dissolved all ties that hound them to Kngland and became an Independent nation?the I'nited States. It was im>V'Ciiiately necessary ! > adopt a new flag, as the new nation would not use liie Union .Jack. Tradition says that in the latter part of May, . 77<?, George Washington, iioberi Morris and Colonel Ross tailed on Betsy floss in Philadelphia co make the first flair, which they designed. They kept the thirteen stripes of the Colonial flag, but replaced the Union Jack \v a blue field bearing thirteen stars, trranged in a circle. The birthday of the flag was June 14, 1 777; when congress passed this resolution: Resoived: That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes; alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white on a blue field, representing a constellation. The first American unfurling the Stars and Stripes over a warship was John Paul Jones when he took command of tin- Ranger in June. 1 777. I'radition says that this flag was made for John Paul Jones by the lounsr Indies of Portsmouth Harbor. ?nd that it uv.s made for him from iheir own ami l/u-ir mothers' ?vvns*. It was thisj'lajr. in February. 1778, :hat had ihc honor of receiving from Kranee the first official salute accorded hy :i foivijrn nation to the >tars and Stripes. It was first carried into battle at :Ju' Battle <>f Brandywine in September, 1777. when LaFayiVu* fought a*it}i the Colonists and was wounded. This was the famous flay: made out if a soldier's white shirt, a woman's red petticoat. am! an oHicer's l?lue loak. A famous flair now in the na:ional museum in Washington is the riajr of fifteen stars and stripes, tvhich floated over Fort McHenry? near Baltimore?in the War of IS 12. md which Franeis Scott Key. (impri<->ned on a British" ship) saw "by the Lawn's taily liir'nt" after watching1 : a rough the night the "rocket's re<i .riaiv. the- bombs bursting in air." as i.-roi'l' :;a: the fort had not fallen to he enemy.

' Respect Due the Flag *; 1. The fia.tr should he raised at !sunrise and lowered at sunset. It j should not he displayed on stormy *! days or left out over night, except '! during: war. Although there is no 1. authoritative ruling which compels '! civilians to lower the flag at sunidown. "rood taste should impel them 1 to follow the traditions of the army ar.d navy in this sundown ceremonial, i Primarily the flag is raised to be ;secn, and secondarily, the flag is 1 ! sometime to be guarded, treasured. : and so tradition holds it shall not be 'menaced \:y the darkness. To leave ' the flag out at night, unattended, is proof of shiftlessn'ess or at least i carelessness. j 2. At retreat, sunset, civilian spectators should stand at attenion. Girl '|Scouts, if in uniform, may give their 'lltM | j When the national colors are pass-' ling on parade or in review.

When the flair i.^ hunjr against a wall, the blue field should be in the (-upper left corner if the stripes are i horizontal: in the upper ri?*ht corner ] if the stripes are vertical. J "). In the case of flairs hung across j the street it is necessary to hang them j by the points of the compass instead J j .of right or left, because the right or 1 l.eft naturally varies according to .whether the spectator is going up or i down the street.
