A New Design for the Flag
Mr. Alfred Beirly advocates a new and beautiful design for the flag of this country. The stripes and the blue field remain the same, but there is a different arrangement of the stars in the field of blue. There are twenty-eight stars in a circle. Within this circle is a star composed of twenty stars, and inside the great central star a circular field of red separated from the blue by a ring of white. The stripes, as now, represent the thirteen original States, the forty-eight stars the individual States, "the star circle symbolizes Federal Unity, continuous and unending." The large star of stars represents the nation, "the great Republic of the World," and the red circle within the star our colonial and insular possessions. It is a unique and beautiful design.
