The army Presidential flag waa first exhibited publicly at the peace Jubilee celebration In Chicago tn 181)9 and again at a similar celebration In Philadelphia. Later both the army and the navy flags were twice hung In the main hallway of the White House during army and navy receptions but the army, flag was never hoisted until March 4, 1901, when It flew over, the Presidential reviewing staiid at the second Inauguration of McKinley. .I'a -- as Box Office Magnet sports Idol teems to be fading at last Although the unit continues to do very well - at the box office, Pro Tennis Promoter Bill OBrien la .losing money on hie Bill Tilden troupe. . . .

Garner of Texas (shown above) has been given the distinction of being the first Vlre President In our history to have a banner emblematic of his office. It was only recently designed and presented to him a white banner on which appears the national coat of arms and four blue stars. Now that the year 1930 has seen another flag added to bur "national stand off colors" and we will soon (on June 14) he celebrating Flag day again, lt seems appropriate to consider some of the other American flags which have their part In our national tradition, even though they are. not so well known as the Stars ' and Stripes, First of all, there Is the President's flag, the personal banner of the.Chlef Executive, Its a blue flag, edged with white and yellow silk fringe, hearing the. United States coat of arms In the center and a white star In each corner. Ths Presidential flag .has had an Interesting history, Inasmuch as the question of a proper design for It has resulted In a aeries of heated controversies over several .points of heraldry Involved. It history has been' one long record of changes and. restorations until finally In. 1916, under President Woodrow Wilson, there evolved the President's flag as it Is today. Before that tlma each President had the right to select th design for his own flag and m.ost of them did. But the Presidential flag used by President Wilson has been used by bur Chief Executives since that time. A dlstftictlve flag for the President had Its origin in the navy. On April lSt 1S05, Oldcon Wells, secretary of the navy, Issued a set of .naval regulations, prescribing thnt on the occasion of the visit of the President .on board a the American ensign should, be displayed at the main. This was the first official order to designate a flag denoting the presence of the President. aboard a national ship. A change was made the next year when the rectangular Union Jack of dark, blue, bearing horizontal rows of white stars, one for each state, was adopted rs the President's flag when on board a national cost four . each.

The War department order of 1S08 had definitely directed that th? official coat of .arms on the central star should be "aft determined by the State department" and the arms referred to are those shown on. the great seal of the United States, which Is In the custody of the. De-partment of State. Th'eshleld'there-ohad always displayed seven red and six white bars, alternately red and white, which was strictly In accordance with the acf of. congress of June i'O, 1782, establishing, the great seal. In 1899 when the equipment officers at New Tork and Mate Island, where flags for the navy are made, were furnished their flag books for the- year, they called attention to the fact that the 'shield on the Presidents flag erroneously displayed seven white and six red stripes, Instead of the reverse. It was discovered that the design had been copied from a. publication of the State department, entitled "The Seal of the United States." The matter was taken up with the State 'department and ended with nh. admission from officials of that department that "there was no logical reason for (he reversal of the colors which' was presumed to be the result of an ar- " n unoffi'-clall- y bnt the navy clung to Its blue field and the 'army to Its red field. It was not until. the next administration that decided steps toward uniformity were taken. On June 24, 1912, and again' on October 29, 1912, President Taft Issued executive orders that "the color of the field of the Presidents .flag shall be blue." But the army did not Immediately conform and a difficult arose at the Inaugural ceremonies of President Wilson In March, 1913. The reviewing box In front, of the White House wae decorated with two President flags, provided by the War depart- eitu-atio- n ment and this Navy department The Navy, departments was blue, but tbs' War departments was red 1 ., i . Double Display of Colors ThlJf revived the old controyeysy and when again In 1915. there was a double, display of colors the matr ter assumed a serious aspect It was .pointed out to President Wilson that an agreement should be madeand' a Standard flag adopted for both branches . of the bervlce. The President called In Lieut. Com. Byron McCandlessj aide tq the secretary of the havy, and .requested him to prepare a design for.- the Presidential standard. The new flag' was to' consist of a- 'blue field with four white stars In the corners, since the flags of an admiral and- of a general bear feur stars as a sign and- the.'Presldent Is 'the highest ranking admiral and general Instead of an exact reproduction of the great seal, President Wilson expressed a desire to have his personal 'seal, a modification of the great seal used on the Presidents stationery in the .White House, on the flag. This seal differs from, the great seal In that the eagles head Is turned to the sinister (lts left) and- the stars above the eagle are ; differently arranged. The new design was prepared by the bureau of construction and repair' under the direction of Commander McCandless and was apan execproved by the President-Iutive order dated May 29, 1910.
