IN Elizabethtown, Illinois, flag upon
great mast informs the people whether or
not Congress is in session. Representative
H. Robert Fowler of that district owns the
flag and has it operated. Whenever Con-
gress is in session the flag IS down, showing
that the Congressman is in Washington at
tending to his official business. Whenever
it is up, the inhabitants of Elizabethtown
know that their representative is at home
and stands ready to give ear to all their
views and arguments.
He explains this as follows: "My people
do not think | should be away from Wash
ington a single day when Congress is in ses-
sion, and use this flag to show them that
I'm on the job.

of. the Associated Charities at their
meeting last evening
The board Went on record as strong
~ opposed 10 the form OF orphan res
cue work which is going on in Water
loo Il is alleged that an effort has
been made to establish an orphans
home 10 which babes are taken AT
birth. that the institution already has
one child taken from its mother al the
age of 6 hours, which has diseased
eve and which should be cared for
properly by the county authorities,
that a contract has already been MADE
TO take another child, yet unborn, al
birth. and that other practices in con
nection with the institution are shame
fully out OF keeping with the laws OF
civilization. II is also said that these
children are used 10 work upon the
sympathies of the public in order thai
funds might be provided for carrying
on the wo-l: IN this city.
The Associated Charities condemns
this treatment Of the dependant in
fants and for that reason is pushing
the baby farming plan. They intend
to make it a busin, = of the authorities
TO learn of all such cases and take
charge. They are already in commun-
ication with all the surrounding towns
and thru responsible persons have the
names of families where children may
be placed. Orphans will be sent only
to private homes which after the most
careful investigation prove satisfac-
tory in every way. In this way alone
can the best interests of the child
welfare be insured.
Representatives of the American
Salvation Army came 10 Waterloo
early in April and established a mis-
sion home in the Federal block on
West Park avenue. Later they moved
to 221 West Sixth. They have strong
testimonials from prominent residents
of Iowa and the charges made against
their methods will doubtless cause con-
siderable surprise IN Waterloo.

PERSECUTION OF fHE Gypsy
Fersy.fvs Executed il h1ns.ry In 172s
on the Charge Of Dsins
CannIbals.

Tho persecution of Gypsies recalls
the old belief that the Gypsies were
cannibals, and the methods by which
judicial confirmation Of the belief was
sometimes obtained. In 1928 As Hun
garian Gypsies were executed on
this charge First racked until
they confessed to murder, they were
taken to the place where their victims
were supposed to be buried and rack
ed again. No bodies were discovered.
Therefore they confessed to eating
them, and were duly executed. Joseph
II. sent commission down to inves-
tigate the case later, and the entire
innocence of the Gypsies was proved.
but history does not say who hap
pened to the witnesses for Gv prose-
cution.
Gypsies are still more or iess "perse-
cuted," though in our rlilder modern
sense of the word. And no wonder a
couple OF years ago it was stated on
official authority that in Hungary most
of the serious crimes--ns,>Aers. kid
mapping and robberies-were committed
by Gypsies. and very few Of the Of
tenders were caught. Gs1,sies are
mighty difficult customers to tackle.

Der the names of the places where my

actly. We don't bottle: ourselves about
such things" What can you do with
