wy oh Bellefonte, Pa., June 10, 1921. FORGET IT. “If you see a tall fellow ahead of a crowd, A leader of men, marching fearless and proud, ~ And you know of a tale whose mere telling aloud, ‘Would cause his proud head in grief to be bowed, It’s a pretty good plan to forget it. If you know of a skeleton hidden away In a closet and guarded and kept from the day, In the dark, and whose showing whose sudden display, Would cause grief and sorrow and life- long dismay, . It’s a pretty good plan to forget it. If you know of a thing that will darken the joy, Of a man or a woman, a girl or a boy, That will wipe out a smile or least way annoy, A fellow, or cause any gladness to cloy, It's a pretty good plan to forget it.” THE ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG. | After a victory by the army or na- vy, the flag should be displayed. | When the flag becomes old or soiled from use, it should be decently burn-, ed. The statutes of the United States ! forbid the use of the flag in register- ed trade- marks. The national salute is one gun for every State. The international salute is under the law of nations, twenty- one guns. In handling the flag it should not be allowed to touch the ground, and nev- er allowed to lie upon the ground as means of decoration—nor should it be laid flat with anything placed upon it. When the flag is flown at half staff as a sign of mourning it should be hoisted to full staff at the conclusion of the funeral. In placing the flag at half staff, it should first be hoisted to the top of the staff and then lowered to position. Whenever our flag and any other are hoisted on the same staff, the Star Spangled Banner must float from the top. In the heart of every American citizen the American flag must have the first and highest place—must be supreme. The military ceremony observed to show proper respect for the American flag requires that the flag shall not be hoisted before sunrise nor be allowed to remain up after sunset. At “re- treat,” at sunset, civilian spectators should stand at “attention” during the playing of “The Star Spangled Ban- ner.” Military spectators are requir- ed by regulation to stand at “atten- tion” and give the military salute. During the playing of the national hymn at “retreat” the flag should be lowered, but not then allowed to touch the ground. When the flag is passing in parade or in review the spectators should, if walking, halt, and, if sitting, arise and stand at “attention.” The flag should never be placed be- low a person sitting. 5 When two American flags are cross- ed the blue fields should face each other. When the flag is placed over a cas- ket, the starry field should be at the head. In crossing the American flag with { that of another nation the American colors should be at the right. Always stand when the “Star Spangled Banner” is being played, ex- cepting when played in a medley. Old government flags are sent by the Quartermaster’s Department to Philadelphia, where they are shredded. The only time when the flag is kept flying through the night at an army post is when a battle is in progress. Army regulations prescribe—When the flag is displayed from a staff the blue field should be in the upper cor- ner next to the staff. From private flag poles, the war secretary advises us, the flag may fly at all hours, day and night, with due respect to the colors. In draping the flag against the side of a room or building, the proper po- sition for the blue field is toward the north or toward the east. There are three standard sizes for the flag provided by the War Depai:- ment regulations: Garrison flag, 38x20 feet; Post flag, 19x10 feet, and Storm flag, 93x5 feet. When buildings are decorated bunting draped horizontally, the red should be at the top, followed by white, then blue in accordance with the colors of the national flag. If a foreigner wishes to raise the flag of his nationality in this country he must raise the flag of the United States above it, not below it. If for decoration, the Stars and Stripes must be at the right. Custom decrees—When the flag is shown horizontally the blue field should be at the upper corner at the left of the person facing the flag, when vertically the blue field should be at the upper corner to the right of a person facing the flag. it should be suspended by the same edge which is ordinarily attached to the pole, and if two flags are hung together cantons should be placed to- gether. If the flag is draped across the street the blue canton should be up. In decorating, the flag shuld never be festooned or draped; always hung at. The flag should never be worn as the whole or part of a costume. As a badge it should be worn over the left breast. When the national flag and another flag fly from the same pole there should be double halyards, each flag. When carried in parade or when crossed with other flags, the “Stars and Stripes” should always be at the right. The flag contains thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, representing the thirteen original States, and a star ' for each State in the Union. As an altar covering, the Union | should be at the right as you face the | altar and nothing should be placed up- ' on the flag except the Holy Bible. | When the flag is used in unveiling ‘a statue or monument, it should not | be allowed to fall to the ground, but | should be carried aloft to wave out, forming a distinctive feature during i the remainder of the ceremony. “Hail Columbia” was sung at the ceremony of lowering the flag at sun- | set, until 1904, when Secretary Moody ordered that the “Star Spangled Ban- ner” be substituted. The American flag, the emblem of in | our Country, is the third oldest na- If you hang the flag from a window one for' liberty, and liberty means obedience to law. The arrangement of the stars on the flag is regulated by law and executive order. An executive order, issued October 26th, 1912, provided for for- ty-eight stars to be arranged in six horizontal rows of eight stars each. General Washington once described the flag by saying: “We take the star from heaven, the red from the Mother Country, separating it by white stripes, thus showing that we have separated from her, and the white stripes shall go down to posterity rep- resenting ‘Liberty.’ ” The field of the flag is the stripes, the union is the blue and the stars. The colors of the flag are red, repre- senting valor, white, representing hope, purity and truth, blue, repre- senting loyalty, sincerity and justice, and its stars FOpTalsnl high aspira- tions and federal union. The flag is known as “Old Glory,” “Stars and Stripes,” “Star Spangled Banner,” and the “Red, White and Blue.” A New School.
