II was Capt. Reid. the hero OF
the famous battle with British
squadron at Fayai. who suggested
way out OF the difficulty. He
urged that there should be only
IS stripes. representing the orig
inal IS colonies; but the stars
should keep pace with the grow
ing number of American COM
monwealths. In ls3 years the
number of stars in the field Of
blue has increased from IS TO 40.
The last star was added when
Oklahoma was admitted into the
Union Nov. l6, 1907.
Recently a movement to rear
range the stars has gained CON-
siderable headway. 1t is now
suggested that the stars be placed
in circles, following more closely
the first flag than does the present
plan of placing the stars in rows.

Even in these matter-of-fact
days, when mankind is too busy to
notice anything but the dollar
mark. there still remains in the
heart of Americans a sentimental
feeling for the flag-the Stars
and Stripes-whose one hundred
and thirty-third birthday we are
celebrating today.
Besides being symbol insepar-
ably connected with the history of
this country, the flag possesses an
interesting history of its own.
Though we are the youngest of
the great nations, our flag is the
Oldest. The British "union jack"
was adopted in its present form in
1901. The French tricolor in

HARTFORD, Conn.,, June A.
A clue which may lead to the
identity of the murderer of Mary
Scott Castle Charlton, whose body
was found in Lake Como, Italy,
was discovered here today.
Mrs. Charlton, in the summer of
leOS, lived at a local hotel as the
wife of a man named Belts. The
trunk in which the body of Mrs.
Charlton was found bore the name
Nv. @. Belts" according to news
paper dispatches from Italy.
AS soon as this fact became
known the local police got in CON-
munication with the Italian au-
thorities requesting more data
and forwarding the details of the
woman's life here. According to
the police. Mrs. Charlton, then
known as Mrs. Castle, lived at the
hotel for two months. The hotel
people say that Belts 5 expressed
fear Of the woman and deserted
her.

|ance- with Mrs. Charlton.
