In connection with the celebration today of Flag day it is interesting to recall the story of the first American flag to flaat over an American vessel and to go down, not in defeat, but in victory. . The flag was holsted on the Ranger on July 4, 1777, by John Paul Jones, “founder ‘of the,American Navy.” It | 1s said the flag was made by a quilting | party of young women at Portsmouth, N. H., ~where the Ranger was launched. The thirteen white stripes were_cut from a white silk dress in which Helen Seavey had been mar- ried to a young officer several months cfously and the blue field and red Arines were from silk furnished by Mary Langdon, Cavoline Chandler, Helen Seavey, Augusta Pierce and 1 1 First U. S. Flag Used on American Ship Went Down, But in Glorious Victory This flag was the first symbol of American liberty to be seen in Euro- pean waters and the first to be salut- ed by a European power—France, in Quiberan Bay, December 14, 1777. Capt. Jones took the flag with him when he gave up command of the Ranger and ran itup to the masthead when he stepped aboard the quarter deck of the old Bonhomme Richard. 1t was when the latter ship was sunk in vanquishing the Serapis off the Irish coast that Capt. Jones permitted the famous flag to go down with his ship "as a final tribute to the brave men whose hodies had been sacrificed in the victory. The flag had gone through the bat- tle withont a scar, and in deference to it the Britich ship had struck its col- ors in defeat. ‘. i 3 JUNE 14, 1926, REPLACEMENT OF FOUR BRIDGES _ PROPOSED IN 813,286,806 ESTIMATES o | be apparent. | wided the | rec. | imission o purchase | s | 34 (Continued. from Fixst Page.) operation and maintenance of the sew- age pumping service, $260,000; for main and pipe sewers and recelving basins, $410,000; for the construction of suburban sewers, $§1, 000; for the construction of sewers under the as- sessment and permit systems, $76 000; for the purchase or condemnation of rights-of-way for sewers, $2,000; for continuing the construction of the upper Potomac main interceptor, $125,000; for beginning the construc- tion of the upper Anacostia main in- terceptor, along the Anucostia River Detween Benntug road and the Dis- | trict line, $110.000; for the personal in the Sewer Division, $178,013.
