The flag is more than the mere
symbol of government, the sign and
token OF the majesty and power Of the
United States 1t embodies all our
past, it heralds the dawn Of new
tomorrows and offers q message Of
hope and inspiration to ell mankind.
1t carries the mind back to the birth
pangs of the Nation In the midst Of
the great Revolutionary war and
brings it forward decade by decade as
the addition Of one star after another
proclaims the evolution of an ever
vaster constellation of free States.
so say 1t is fitting that the fia9
should have conspicuous place in the
observance of the 200th anniversary OF
Washington's birth in Washinrtons
City. We are therefore planning to
make the next Flag day-June a..
1932-one Of the outstanding days In

Mrs. Maude Blair, a daugh-

woman lives, said the family
had decided to notify the vice
presidential candidate of his
mothers condition, although
they had hesitated to do so
since he is busy with cam
paign plans.
Mrs. Garner was born, and spent
her entire life in this section. Until
recently she rejoiced in recalling in
cidents in the hoyhood life of her
noted son, and in telling stories of
the early days of Texas.
Garner has not visited her for
some months. He had planned to
come here in July when he returned
after congress adjourned to his
home in Uvalde.
His own health, however, was
bad at that time, and he spent sew
eral weeks recovering.
Mrs. Garner was widowed ten
years ago. She has, besides the
Speaker, two other sons and two

FIND TRAIL OF
LOST WHISKY
Trace Booze Missing From
Federal Building Here.

CleWs which eventually may lead
to solution of the mysterious disap-
pearance of 1000 pints of confs-
Gated Canadian whisky from the
federal building several months
ago, are in hanos of the govern
ment, it was learned today from
Colonel Amos w. w. Woodcock,
federal prohibition administrator.
The liquor. alleged to have been
of fine quality, was part of car
load confscated by federal dry
agents from a freight car at Evans
vile, and transferred here, in the
care of Charles Britt, then deputy
dry administrator for this district
When ALT o. Meloy, United States
marshal, was ordered to destroy the
liquor, he discovered approximately
1000 pints had vanished. Britt, who
held the keys to the federal build
ing liquor storeroom, was denoted to
the post of special agent at New
Orleans.
For months, special investigators
of the prohibition bureau have been
seeking to trace the trail of the
missing whisky.
A new Investigator, Woodcock an
nounced today in Washington, has
submitted preliminary report, ="
but final report is not expected
until next month.
Il can't reveal the evidence that
has been uncovered" Woodcock
said, "but I believe we soon shall
ascertain all facts"

TEACHERS PAY
LOAN ASSURED
1000 Not to Be Forced to
Wait for Six Weeks.

Threat that 1000 Indianapolis
school teachers and other school
employees might be faced with a
payless pay day Oct. 1, was removed
today with virtual assurance that
bankers will grant the school city
temporary loan of more than
100000.
Announcement that teachers
would not be forced to wait six
weeks, until after fall installment
of taxes is received, for their first
months pay was made by A. b
Good, business director, following
conferences with bank officials.
The specter of a payless pay day
arose as result of the school city's
borrowing limit being reduced to
$4,000 by a $120,0O0,O00 reduction
in the assessed valuation.
The law permits the schools to
borrow only up to per cent of the
assessed valuation of the city.
However, bank officials were adj
vised by legal counsel that mas
much as the valuation cut will not
be effective until Jan. l, temporary
loans, payable yet this year, safely
could be subscribed
AS a result of information from
the banks, the school board will
meet at noon Monday to adopt res
olution authorizing emporary loan
of between 100000 and 100000 to
meet pay rolls until receipt of tax
funds in November.
