5. When flags of States or Cities, or pennants of societies, are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States of America, the latter should always be at the peak. When flown from adjacent staffs the flag of the United States of America should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant, flown in the former position, should be placed above, or, in the latter position, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, i.e., to the observer's left.

6. When flags of two or more Nations are displayed they should be flown from separate staffs of the same height and the flags should be of proximately equal size. (International usage forbids the display of the flag of one Nation above that of another Nation in time of peace.)

7. When the flag is displayed from a staff projecting horizontally or at an angle from a window

sill, balcony, or front of a building, the union of the flag should go clear to the peak of the staff, unless the flag is at half-staff.

When the flag is suspended over the sidewalk from a rope, extending from a house to a pole, at the edge of the sidewalk, the flag should be hoisted out from the building toward the pole, the union first.
