Biddy O'Brien, a prize whit leghorn and the mena gerie mascot of the great, new Ringing Brothers and Bar mum and Bailey Combined Shows, Is believer in a. strong defense" This, at least, is the conclusion of the men who have charge of the mammoth travelling zoo and they point to the fact that Biddy has picked upon Hero. giant of the elephant herd, for a com rade in support of their deduction. Hen and pachyderm are inseparable friends.
 The two menagerie inmates struck up an acquaintanceship~ last winter when the circus was in the winter quarters, and when the show took to the road this spring Biddy selected the top of "Hero's" head as her per manent home There she perches most of the day, when she is not strutting around through the elephant end of the menagerie tent picking up stray morsels of grain or bran- She is a favorite with all the elephants, but she spends most of her time with Hero and she never takes the lib erty of perching on any other ele- phant's head.

FIRST NATIONAL STANDARD
 WAS A CAT ON A SPEAR

A Socialist once referred to the United States flag as a painted rag on a stick" The speed that misguid- ed agitator made in getting out of town would make him eligible for a place on the Olympic Marathon team. Reformers have learned that, except in times of war, they can attack the constitution, and courts, and presi- dents and kings, but that a national flag is a buzz-saw, metaphorically speaking, that it would be well to let alone. Today is flag day in the United States, and will be marked by special patriotic exercises in practically every city in the republic, and particularly in the public schools. The Stars and Stripes became the official emblem of the United States 142 years ago today.
 Although special flags existed in some of the colonies prior to the American Revolution, it was the red, white and blue banner that was car ried to victory in the colonial wars against France, Spain and the In- dians. Most of the early flags of the colonists were patterned after the Union Jack of the mother country The Grand Union Flag. raised at Cambridge in 1776, was the first used by the American army that had thirteen alternate red and white stripes, the number symbolic of the thirteen colonies. Many flags were proposed during the Revolution and the early days of the Republic One of them, designed by Thomas Paine, was composed of all the colors of the rainbow, symb olizing peace The Stars and Stripes, design however, was officially adopted on June IA, TIT. Later, with the admission of new States, the number of stars on the blue background gradually in
 creased, until today they number forty-eight.
 It is probable that the first flag was carried by the Saracens in their battles with the Crusaders, the lat ter adopting the idea, which thus spread over Europe. Long before that there had been national standards, however, as the ancient Egyptians carried before their hosts the figure of sacred animal on a spear. A stuffed cat impaled on a stick was the forerunner of the banners now used In the days of the old Persian empire a blacksmith's apron was car ried aloft at the head of the army, while the standard of the Turks was a. horses tail
 Today the flag is the most rever- ed of all inanimate objects, and in the war which has just ended mill lions of men showed their devotion to their flag by giving their life for

Russian S0vietS Want To
 Purchase In Bridgeport

Through A. A. Heller, it's director in the United States, the Russian So- cialist Federal Soviet Republic is endeavoring to purchase supplies for the territory con trolled by them in Russia in this city.
 Seward B. Price, executive secretary of the Bridgeport Chamber of Commerce receiv- ed a letter from Mr. Heller to- day asking Mir. Price to act as the medium of his becoming acquainted with the business men of Bridgeport. Mir. Heller was among the members of the Soviet government apprehend- ed in the recent raid on their headquarters in New York.
 The Russian representative also asks that a meeting be ar ranged of the membership of the Chamber of Commerce, so that either he or some other representative may address Bridgeport men.
 Mir. Heller advises that the com mercial department will do all the purchasing for the Soviet governm ent in the United States and says: '@The members of your organization are no doubt interested in learning the facts about Russia, especially as affecting tions with that country. The large American manufacturers we are in touch with have expressed their desire to do business with Russia, notwith- standing the campaign of falsehood and misrepresentation that is being carried on against her"
 A long list of the products the Soviet government desires to pur- chase is sent along with the letter. It includes practically every article made in America, and many of which are made in Bridgeport.
 It was learned today that practical ly all of the so-called Bolshevik pro- paganda seized in the raid on the Soviet headquarters in New York can be purchased at Bridgeport news stands.

Great Possibilities in Teachers Pro-
fesai0n

With the demand for teachers very
great, and with prospects for a still
greater need the coming school year,
the teaching profession offers, at the
present time, greater possibilities 1pr
advancement than ever before. It
is certain that many desirable teach
ing positions will be available this fall.
Consequently, it is necessary and ad-
visable that prospective. teachers take
advantage Of their vacation months
to prepare themselves.
Anticipating this increased need for
trained teachers, the State Normal
School at Minot has arranged for a
summer session beginning June and
continuing to August 8. For the first
time the summer session covers a
period Of ten weeks, and includes the
work Of the regular spring term. This
change in the dates of the regular
spring term, brought about by the
quarantine the early part of the year,
affords an unusual opportunity for
teachers and prospective teachers. The
students enrolling at the beginning of
the term may do work which will give
him full terms credit in the Nor
NAL School. Beginning classes will
be organized in all the required sub
jects of the term, with additional sub
jects to meet the demands of the spe-
