AUGUST Z CLAIMED
INDEPENDENCE DAY
College Lecturer Says July a.
an insignificant Event
in History.

CHICAGO, July 8. The great
noisy American public. which vents
it's patriotic exuberance on July
commentaries only date relatively
insignificant in American history, de-
clared Prof. Marcus Jernegan yester-
day in a bombardment of the popular
version Of the signing Of the Declare
ton Of Independence.
America asserted her independence
from Great Britain July 2, and the
document was not signed by repre-
sentatives OF the 10 Colonies until
August 2, Jernegan declared-and he
cited letters written by John Adams,
secret journal Of the Continental
Congress. and newspaper clippings to
prove his point.
The professor spoke at the Univer-
sity of Chicago.
The resolution of Richard Henry
Lee was adopted on July 2, 1776. the
professor said, by the vote of only IL
Colonies. for New York did not vote.
On that day, he said, the Philadelphia
Evening Post announced that the
Continental Congress had declared
the Colonies free and independent
States. and on July John Adams
wrote to his wife about the action
taken. Then on July q the first
document of the Declare ton, bearing
only the signature of John Hancock,
president of the Congress, was sent
to the printer, and on August 2. the
13 Colonies officially signed the docu-
ment. but even on that date six of
the Congressman did not aff1x their
signatures. he added
Prof. Jernegan explained that the
error came about when a committee,
drawing up a report from the Secret
Journal, which was not made public
until 1922, ascribed the Unanimous
declaration" of August to the date
of July 4.

fabrics being made in combination Mohair and silk,

The number of garments in which real silk is

careful to investigate before advertising "Mohair

Washington merchants have eliminated the
