There have been many mistakes
made about the etiquette of the flag.
When President William 1 McKiflley
was assassinated thousands of loyal
Americans raised flags at half ; mast
over their places of business and let
them By by night and by day until
they. -wore out They undoubtedly
thought they wert showing respect to

ernment regulations provide that on
the death of a president in oQce ta
flag shall be displayed at half mast
only one day.
In memory of the 850,000 Union sol
diers who' lost their lives during the
civil war May SO, Memorial day, each
year the United States displays Its flag
at half mast at all army posts; stations
nd national cemeteries from sunrise
to midday. Immediately before, noon
a dirge is played by the band or field
music, and tbe national salute of twen
ty-one guns Is flred. At the conclu
ion of this memorial, tribute at noon
the flag is -hoisted to the top of the
staff and remains there until sunset
The idea Is that tbe national ensign Is
too sacred an object to be long In
mourning for any man or number of
men. no matter, bow exalted their rank,
Tbe flag reversed, with the union
down, indicates distress.; Tbe flag on
anything but a fort actually, besieged
should never be displayed ' between
sunset and sunrise.
When the flag is to be displayed at
half mast it Is lowered to that posi
tion from the top of tbe staff. It Is
hoisted to the top before It is finally
lowered. Washington Post
