Shy 30 Stars

,COTTBUS, June There
was much ado in Cottbus today,
when the city fathers decided
that the proper thing for the
Observation-Disclosures reception at
the city hall was an American
flag draped over the balcony.
Not a single American flag
was to be found in Cottbus,. but
Cottbus is. a town Of resource

missioned to emulate Betsy
Ross-to make an American
flag and to make it quickly.
The seamstress did her best
but the time allotted her was
not sufficient and the American
flag that draped the balcony of
the city hall was shy just.

NConIlnued from t1FSC PaRe.l
These are but sketchy incidents in
"a highly exciting story covering the
last five years, a story Of big con-
tracts and alleged war fraud, of poll
tics and airplanes. of daring flights
and closely guarded discussions in
meetings of the Presidents Cabinet.
AS Postmaster General New him

partment is the air mail.

So, after he had been defeated for
reelection to the Senate and had
pains in selecting an assistant who
should be in charge Of the air mail

Chicago and a man well backed by
friends of the Administration, Paul
Henderson.
Ended Government Service
At that time the Postoffice De.
partment owned its own planes aad
was carrying its own mail. This
was in 1922. One of the biggest
accomplishments of MIR. Henderson
while ne was Assistant Postmaster
General was to push through Con.
gress the bill providing that air
mail should be carried under con.
tract with private corporations.
Then, shortly after the bill. was
passed, MIR. Henderson, better
known as Colonel Henderson, U. s.
r. c., resigned his job, became the
head Of one Of the biggest aircraft
companies, the National Air Trans
port Company, of New York, and
started bidding for contracts under
the new law.
He got the contract for carrying
mail from Chicago to Dallas.
But, according to postoffice of.
ficials, it has not proved to be a
profitable contract, for Colonel
Henderson's company is said to be
losing several hundred dollars q
week on it.
Blow at Levine
Last January the Postoffice De.
partment, after advertising, opened
bids for contracts to carry air mail
from Chicago to New York. There
were four bids, including one from
Levine's company and one from
Henderson's.
HendersOn's bid was the highest
of the four, S1.98 a pound, and
Levine's was the lowest, $1.73.
But the Postmaster General
found all the bids to be irregular
and threw them all out, ordering
new bids to be submitted on March
"a.
The same four people bid. This
time Henderson's company bid $1.S4
a pound, and the company I'm which
Levine was interested bid $1.23.
All the bidders were present
when the bids were opened on the
morning Of March "a. Levine was
exultant.
"Outbid them by a penny" ne
kept saying over and over. The
scene that morning in the spacious
offices Of the Postmaster General
was exciting and not without its
element Of comedy.
The bidders all filed out of the
Postmaster Generals office, but in
a few minutes one of them came
back. 1t was Paul Henderson.

MARY PICKFORD
Is AT CAPITOL
Now Showing in My Best Girl
Fate and Griffith Made
Mary an Actress

Fate made Mary Pickford an
actress. Choice led her into motion
pictures-and from that upward to
fame. Had it not been for this for
tuitous combination, the story of
Mary Pickford might have been
very different, for she had several
ideas for her future besides that of
screen career. If she had not
visited the old Biograph studio in
New York on one memorable after
noon, her life-work might have lain
in any one of several channels, in
GLIDING that Of being a business
executive, instead of q cinema star.
If Destiny had not brought Miss
Pickford to D. w. Griffith's atten-
ton, she might have continued with
her stage career; or she might even
have followed her leaning toward
portrait painting; or it is possible
that she would have taken up interi-
or decoration. in which, incidentally,
she is still greatly interested. But
most likely she would have gone in
to the business world, beginning as
a salesgirl in some department
store, and undoubtedly climbing to
the top Of the ladder.
Mary's new United Artists pro-
duction, "My Best Girl" now show
ing at the Capitol, reflects many
of the experiences she had during
her brief employment in a five-and-
ten-cent store in Los Angeles.

was at the store than I would

PRISON WARDEN
EXPECTS MANY
new B0ARDERS
Average of 4 Prisoners in Each
County Jail-at Least 50
Will Be Sent Here

With at least 200 prisoners in the
county tails of North Dakota at the
present time, most OF whom are
waiting trial, Warden John Lee OF
the state penitentiary expects a
large number of new boarders at his
institution within the next six or
eight weeks. The warden estimates
that there is an average Of four
prisoners in each county Jail in the
state, although some jails have a
much larger number Of prisoners.
The Ward county Jail at Minot now
has a total Of As inmates, the warden
has just learned. -
Although the prison is filled al
most to capacity at the present time,
there will be number of inmates
released during the same period, so
that Warden Lee does not believe
the institutions capacity of 800 pris-
oncrs will be overtaxed by the influx
Of men this winter.
Enrolment Now 3O8
The enrolment at the penitentiary
today is 3O8, and with every cell
occupied the pl..ce can accommodate
a maximum of 800. The pardon
board meets OH December 2 and its
action usually liberates an average
of about 20 men.
Judging from past records. Ward
en- Lee estimates that from one-third
to one-fourth Of those now waiting
trial will be given penitentiary SEN
fences, SO that he expects at least
so new inmates here within the
next two months.
Records kept during the past four
years show a yearly average of 2l2
prisoners at the penitentiary, ac-
cording to the warden, while approx
imately the same number are re-
leased each year, SO that the enroll
ment figure remains about the same.
