As to the stars, the stars, so-called, in;
Washington's arms are red on a white held. !

is really no authority for that claim. The I
best we can safely do to connect the two i
is to say thai the existence of stars and
horizontal stripes of red and white in noth
is an interesting coincidence and that the
sight of one may well make us think of
the other. L. 11. Hall, Secretary American
