WASHINGTON, D. C.. July 4.?
Two atara were added to the national
flag today, denoting the addition of
1 Arizona and New Mexico to the sisterhood
of states. It has been some
time since the two Territories became
States, but under the law the change
ta the flag could not be majle until
* today, which is the Independence Day
next following their submission to
8tatehood.
The law governing the subject is
contained in the act ,of Congress approved
April 4, 1818- The act prok
~ Tides as follows:
"On the admission of the new state
into the Union, one star shall be addT
ed to the union of the- flag and such
addition shall take effect on the 4th
jMtth .-V':/ "jwiw then next _ suooeedlng I
such admission."
This is the first time since 1890
that more than one star has been
added at a time. In that year stars
I?: were added for the five new states of
Idaho, Washington, Montana and
North and Sooth Dakota.
Since July 4, 1896, the official arrangement
of the stars in the blue
'field of the flag has been such as to
permit the addition of more state

without destroying the symmetry of
the approved design. In none of the
acts of pongreas relating to tl}e flag
h&a the manner of arranging the
stars been prescribed. Before the
date named there was a lack of uniformity
In the matter. After .July
4, 1896, when Utah was admitted to
the Union, the forty-five stars in the
flag were arranged in six rows, seven
stars each.
Four years ago a rearrangement
of the stars was made by a Joint
board of army and navy officers to
the case of Oklahoma. Under that
arrangement, which has prevailed
anui too*?, tnere were eignt stars in
the Hrat. third, fourth and sixth rows
and seven stars In the second and
fifth rows. The rearrangement to
meet the case of Arizona and New
Mexico was a very simple matter. All
that was necessary was the addition
of a star each tp the second and fifth
rows, which makes six rows of eight
stars each. Since the admission of
any of the territorial possessions to
Statehood is a matter of the distant
future the present arrangement of
the stars in the national flag is likely
to remain unchanged for a long time
'to come.
