THE STORY
The "star Fpuniclod baner" became tho national flag of tho
I'nltoil States or Amorlcan on .Tnm II, 1777, when thn Continen
tal cnimrHss usNcmuled In Phlludelphiti, adopted It an tho nation's
official emblem.
The 13 stsrs and 13 stripes reprosentod tho 13 original colo
nies. Tho stars on tho first flag wero arranged In a clrclo tho
circle signify eternity, and tho stars unity. Tho stars also donoto
subordination of th stntos to tho union tho broad red stripes rep
rosontlng tho union.
The first national flsg whs ma do hy Delay Ross.
The flag was first recognized by a forelKii power when John
Paul Jonos, commander of tho "Hangor," carried It Into foreign
waters Immediately aftor Its adaption by congress.
Tho flag wus first roeognlxed on laud when It wag raised over
Port Stanwlx, N. V., August 0, 17T7.
In 1K1S congress doorood that on thn nilnilsxlon of eneh new
state a star should bo added to the flag, and the number of strlpon
then 20 ho reduced to 13.
New arrangements of tho stars on tho flag was made In 1912,
and tho new flag was officially rocognliced on July I, 1 U 1 2.
Theio are now 48 status, represented on tho flag.
The design or tho Amorlouu 'flag Is said to have boon supt'otit
od by George Washington's eoat of arum- throe Hturs and three
stripes.

Wilson, Hpcukiim; nt Flair day

enns (o remember their pntriolim on
other days limn national holidays uud
to enrrv the I'lai; of the eounli'y ever
in their heart.
"For me," snid llie president, "the
flair does not express u mere body of
vuiritc sentiments. 'It is the embodi
ment, not of it sentiment, lint of n
history, uud no mini ciui rightly serve
under thnt fhir who bus nol ciiiikIiI
some of the meaning of thnt history.
Cr'aliuir National l.lfo
"Vou do not ereale the nienninir of
u national life by tiny literary exposi
tion of it, hut by the uctuul daily en
deavors of a ureal people to do the
tasks of the day uud live up' Co the
ideals of honesty and rinlitcoiujnesH
nnd just conduct. And ns wo. think
of these tilings, our tribute in to
those men who have created this ex
perience. Of these men we feel thnt
they hnvo shown us llie way. They
hnvo not been iifruid to k before.
They have known that they were
spcukinir the tlioulits of a irrcut peo
ple when lliey led that irronl people
nlonir the paths of achievement.
There wns not u single swashbuckler
ninoiiir tl.iem. They were men of so

because there wiih no bluster ill it,
They wero men who thoiiidil nlonir the

"They were men, in short, who
thought for the people whom they
served uud not of themselves.
Multitude (ho Nation
"Mut while we think of them nnd
do honor lo them as those who have
shown us the wuy, let uu not forget
(hut the real expeiieuce nnd life of

of unknown men, They constitute
Hie body of the nation. This flair is
the essence of their daily endeavor.
This Hug does not express any more
than whnt they nre uud what they
desire to he, uud us I think of tho life
of this great nation, it seems to me
Hint we sometime look to the wrong
place for it source.
"We look to the noisy place where
men lire tnlkiiig in the market place;
wo look to where men nre e.proinir
their individual opinion; wo look
where parlisaiiH nre cprciur pa
