* FLAG CODE ETIQUETTE ♦ ...—.I The foregoing words of caution; and guidance for the proper re ! spect, use and display of the Flag of the United States, are excerpts ' from the authentic coda of Flag Etiquette adopted on Juno 14, 1923, by the Washington, D. C. conference of the National Americanism Commission of the American Legion. attended by representatives of 68 organizations, and later ad opted also ny 45 other organizations representing a total of more than 20.000,000 American people. The preamble of the Flag Code ■ of the American legion emphasizes that—“there are certain fundamental rules of heraldry which, if under f stood generally, would Indicate the i proper method of displaying the flag. The matter becomes a very < simple one if it is kept in rniflu I that the National Flag represents ! the living country and i» itself con- ' stdered as a living thing. The union of the flag is the honor point; the right arm is the sword arm, and therefore the point of danger and hence the place of honor. “The Flag should be displayed only from sunrise to sunset, or between such hours as may be designated by proper authority. It should be displayed on national and state holidays and on historic and special occasions. The Flag should always be hoisted briskly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously. “When carried in a .procession with another flag or flags, the Flag of the United States should be either on the marching right, i. e., the Flag’s own right, or when there is a line of other flags the Flag of the United States may be in front of the center of that line. “When displayed with another flag against a wall from crossed staffs, the Flag of the United States should be on the right, the Flag’s own right, and its staff should be in front of the staff of the other flag. When a number of flags are grouped and displayed from staffs, the Flag of the United States should be in the center or at she highest point ot the group. “When flags of States or cities or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the Flag I of the United" States, the National ! Flag should always be at the peak, i When flown from adjacent staffs, i the Flag of the United States l should be hoisted first. No flag or ‘ pennant should be placed above or ito the right of the Flag of the I United States. ’’When'flags of two or more nai tions are displayed they should be i flown from separate staffs of the ; same height and the flags should 'be of approximately equal size, i (International usage forbids the dispjay of the flag of one natiou
