How the U. S. Flag Was Adopted

'HE flag of the United States Is one of the oldest In the world. It is older than Britain's “Union

T

Jack" and the French tri-color. It was officially adopted by the Continental congress of the United States on June 14. 1777. and has since been honored throughout the world. The information available on the origin of the American flak, says a writer In the Washington Post, Is more a matter of tradition than of history. It is an emblem born of strife, at the time when England’s colonies were struggling to obtain fairer treatmen’ and a larger measure of liberty. The aims of this struggle were not clearly defined In the beginning. The Declaration of Inde|»endence. a notable document promulgated on July 4. 1776. which has earned the admiration of many statesmen tn various parts of the world, did not come until many important battles had been fought In these, the Americans followed various r- 11 |y ./ * J * k I H ■ a I Bl - Er Wr'. MW*l I I Salute to the Flag Daily Custom at All Army Posts. colors, whose lack of uniformity bespoke the lack of clear-cut aims, of definite purposes, which for the moment prevailed, but were soon to disappear. From this restlessness, from this turmoil emerged the United States: emerged the I>claratlon of Independence and the Stars and Stripes, This flag, according to tradition, had a very humble origin. It was first fash* loned. we are told, by a group of Americans besieged In a fort, from the clothing of the soldiers and from material furnished by empty ammunition bags. The flag of the United States consists of 13 horizontal alternated stripes, seven red and six ’white, and of a - canton placed tn the upper corner nearest the flagstaff tn which appear on a blue field as many white stars as there are states in the Union. One of the first places, possibly the first, over which the American flag was hoisted was Fort Stanwix. The rite of thia old fort Is now occupied by the giant skyscrapers of New Tort city, which furnish an excellent symbol of the might, of the greatness of the United States. The arms of the United States are formed by an eagle which holds In Its right talons a branch of olive. In Its left a bundle of 13 arrows and in Its beak a golden ribbon an which Is inscribed the motto of the United States—“E Pluribus Uuum." July Named for Juliu* Caesar July was named after Julius Caesar, whose birthday came In that month. Caesar, In 46 B. CL. after having conquered Egypt adopted the Egyptian calendar for the Roman world. Instead. however, of having 12 equ-1 months of 30 days each as the Egyptians had (with five extra days thrown in as holidays} Caesar scattered the five extra days through the year. Every alternate month was given 31 days, one day being taken from February to make this count come out right Thus January, March, May and July, all have Sldsys.
