Insert: Soldiers of the sea at San Oiego, Calif., during a formal presentation of the Stars and Stripes and their regimental color. The National Flag is carried to the right in this and all similar parades or formations. Hiohest honors are always accorded "Old Glory" by all of our naval or military forces either at home or abroad. The birthday of Old Glory, June I t, should bring a responsive thrill ! to every patriotic American. It Is the most beautiful of all na tional colors. Our flag has pointed the way to freedom to countless thousands: its stars and stripes have been an inspiring symbol for more than a century and a half. It stands for patriotism, loyalty and fidelity to the ideals of Am erica. "Old Glory's" Ancestors This attractive emblem of our nation that has come down to us through the years has ben evolved from those earlier banners that once cheered the hearts of the colonists. In the early days of the revolu-' tlon there were many striking 'flag designs. Some bore rattlesnakes with the ominous words of warn ing, "Don't tread on me," emblaz oned on their folds. Others showed the pine tree symbol with the words, "An appeal to heaven." Some showed both the pine treo and rattlesnake, - or beavers', anchors, and state mottoes. Delvers into the flag lore of our country will find scores of such types, each emblematic of the hopes, visions and aspirations of the people who had not yet found liberty and freedom for which they were striving. The first flag in general use by the coloniBts consisted of 'thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, typifying the thirteen colonies, with aeinion bearing the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew, where the stars in the blue field now ap pear. It was called the Grand Union Flag, or First Naval En sign, and it was the immediate pre decessor of the Stars and Stripes, which we so often call Old Glory. Romance has trailed1 Old Glory from the beginning. It harks back to the days of Betsy Ross, whose nimble fingers wrought with lov ing care the first sample of the na tional flag, which was almost iden- tical with the flag as we know It today. Story of Betsy Ross Mrs. Ross was a widow. Late in the Bprlng of 1776 her little shop on Arch street, Philadelphia, was visited by some distinguished per sons. A committee, headed by George Washington, called on Mrs. Ross and submitted a rough de sign of a new type of flag which they asked her to make. Stars In the blue field had been substituted for the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew. Descendants of Betsy have vouch ed for the authenticity of the his toric visit, and it Is known that not long afterward congress made an order on the trensury to pay Mrs. Ross a sum amounting to Ho ward of seventy dollars, ; in ; the British currency then used "Tor flags for the fleet in the Delaware river." , June 14, 1777, more than a year after Washington's visit to the lit tle flag shop, is now recognized as the flag's official birthday. On that date congress resolved "That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thir teen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation." Thereafter numerous incidents relative to the new flag began to make their appearance in history. Less than three weeks after con gress had authorized the flag, John Paul Jones was at Portsmouth, N. H., preparing to sail abroad on the "Ranger." "At Portsmouth," writes one naval authority, "Paul Jones at tracted about him a bevy of girls who formed a so-called "flag bee," who with much patriotic enthusi asm and many heart thrills wrought out of their own and their mothers' gowns a beautiful Star Spangled Banner, which was thrown to the . breeze in Ports mouth Harbor on July 4, 1777." Avery's history records that on August 3, Colonel Gansevoort, with more than that amount since last November when he first started work for the company and Is sll( iolng strong. . i , Shops In Roseburg Mrs. C.

Y.; when word was received of the new flag design. The garrison was searched for material to manufacture the new flag, presumably the Stars and Stripes', which was dlspluyed the same afternoon from a tlngstaff on a bastion nearest the enemy. There Is, however, no authentic record of either the Grarid Union Flag or the Stars and Stripes, as national colors, ever having boon carried In to battle. A Shot For Each Stripe Captain Thomas Thompson of the American ship "Raleigh" fired on a British ship he was pursuing on September 4. "We up sails, out guns, hoisted the Continental col ors and bid them strike to the Thirteen United States," wrote the captain. "Sudden surprise threw them into confusion and their sails flew all aback, upon which we complimented them with a gun for each state, a whole broadside into their hull." This was th6 new flag's first encounter at sea. The Stars and Stripes first float ed over a fortress of the Old World, when Lieutenant O'Bannon .of the Murines and Midshipman Mann of the Navy raised the flag over the fortress at Heme,- Tripoli, where It wna f'lt,nr In tlia lixnu,! nn Atit-tl J 27. 1805. "By the dawn's early light" on j September 14, 1814, Fronds Scott Key saw the Star Spangled Ban- ner still waving over Fort Mc- Henry, and composed the Bong t which is now the national anthem, i Both the flags raised at Tripoli and at Fort JVlcHenry had fifteen stars and fifteen stripes, a flug de sign that remained In voguo from 1795 until 1818. Then congress au thorized the return of the flug to Its original form of thirteen stripes, one star being added for each state entering the union until today there are 48 stars In the blue field.
