 Abductors Are Warned
 LaBott's wife, who recovered to. day from near collapse to carf fore her three children, appealed to the kidnapers to guard careful, his health and not to include fatt! foods in his. diet as he has veal heart. Doctors warned that th' least shock might prove fatal.
 Hugh Labatt spent. the entire night and morning in his room al the Royal York hotel where the kidnapers had told him to await further communication at 10:00 a m. (E,D.T.) today.
 Fearing that if he left his room he would miss atelephone call from the adbuctors, he had all his meals served in the room and even a barber came upstairs to shave him.
 "All we can do is sit and wait and hope" he said.
 Asked to be shown a copy of the ransom note which was found in the Kidnapped mans automobile, which was abandoned in front oi St Joseph's Hospital at London yesterday morning, Detective Ser geant Frank Grove, of the Toronto police, who was in the room with Labatt, interceded.
 We can't show you that he replied tersely. After all we must have some clues to go on.'' He Is Still Hopeful.
 IT.. CTS would attempt to contact him later in the day or at least sent some word as to how he might reach them to pay the ransom.
 From other sources it was learned that a considerable amount ofmoney had been withdrawn from Toronto banks and was believed to be in Labatt's possession.
 Presence of police officers in the room with Labatt brought queries as to whether they would with draw if contact with the kidnapers was made to permit free negotia- tions.
 Both Detective Grove and In spector Gardiner of London, who was also in the room, refused to answer the question.
 several long distance calls were made from Labatts hotel room indicating that he was keeping in touch with the Kidnapped mans family in London.
 Mysterious Caller

 The man, young, short and swarthy, knocked on the door next to Labatt's room and spoke in an undertone to a police official who appeared at the door.

 Sex, he said is the underlying cause of 75 per cent of the divorces in this country. Often, he added, the real reason is buried beneath such charges as incompatability, mental cruelty and neglect. Asked why testimony in the di- vorce hearings of the presidents son and daughter was kept secret and never appeared in the news papers, he replied quickly: That was done solely out of re- spect to the president of the United States.
 "Ordinarily believe that cases should be aired in public. Courts should be open to the public if they are to remain above criticism and suspicion"

 "There would be more immoral ity without reasonable divorce"
 "Unhappiness is a Justification for divorce.
 "The depression has slackened divorce. drawing couples closer be- cause of privations.''

Market Had Reaction and Prices Went Down Lowe
WATERFOWL PLANS BEN C ARRANGED
Officials Aim to Eliminate Abuses of Batting;
 Control Desired

Details of a plan for eliminating abuses of waterfowl batting were revealed August 13 in a statement by the Bureau of Biological Sur vey outlining a proposed addition to the hunting regulations now be- ing prepared for consideration by the secretary of agriculture.
 The proposed regulation would provide that waterfowl may not be shot or otherwise taken on baited premises except under seasonal per- mits issued without charge by the chief of the bureau of biological survey. The permits will be issued to and in the name of the persons or clubs occupying the baited premises.
 Permits, it is proposed, will be issued only after investigation shows that, batting will effectively supplement local natural food sup plies that are deficient, or will serve to concentrate the birds under con- ditions conducive to safeguarding them from great destruction. Is- suance of permits will also be limited to cases in which it ap- pears that batting will result in more nearly equalizing hunting privileges in the various localities and sections of the United States.
 The proposed regulation would prohibit the shooting of waterfowl on baited premises after o'clock in the afternoon and would pro- vide that no waterfowl be shot while resting n water or land on any preinlses where batting is practiced.
 Every permitee would be re- quired, under the regulation, to send to the biological survey chief within one month after the close of the open season report show ing the following: The number of persons shooting on the baited premises during the open season; the species and the number of each species of waterfowl killed; the number of blinds; the bags per blind; the kinds of good used; and the intervals of feeding.

There was once a club formed of
lazy men. Fines were inflicted on
those who ever forget themselves
so far as to do anything in haste.
One day several members saw an
old doctor who was renowned for
his laziness drive past the door Of
the club at a furious rate, and
loudly they chuckled at the thought
Of filming him.
But on applying to him on the
ground of his having been in such
a hurry, the doctor slowly replied:
mo, j wasn't in a hurry, but my
mare wanted to go fast, and was
to lazy to stop her."

the Congress COlors, and known
BY other designations. It was
similar to the flag as we know it
today, except that the union was
composed Of the crosses Of st.
George and st. Andrew instead Of
the starry field.
Although many honors were ac-
corded the Grand Union Flag, it
was never formally acknowledged
by Congress. 1t was the Stars and
Stripes, which we so often call Old
Glory, that was destined to be ac-
corded that honor on, June Ia,
71777. when the Continental Con-
gress resolved "That the flag Of
the thirteen United States be
thirteen stripes, alternate red and
white; that the union be thirteen
stars. white in a blue field, rep
resenting new constellation.
Research has failed to prove
definitely just what person or per-
sons created the design for our
National Flag. Tradition points
to Betsy Ross as the needlewoman
whose fingers wrought with low
ing care the first sample of the
Stars and Stripes, which was al
most identical with the flag as we
know it today.
Many believe that Benjamin
Franklin, George Washington,
John Adams, or some other per-
son was responsible for the de-
sign. Congress failed to desig-
nate the manner in which the
stars should be placed. and it is
still subject Of conjecture wheth-

From time to time slight
changes in the flag have beer
authorized by Congress. A flaf
of fifteen stars and fifteen stripes
followed the entrance of Vermont
and Kentucky into the Union, ane
remained in vogue from 179t
until 1918. This flag inspired the
United States in its war against
the Barbary pirates early in the
last century; it was flown to the
breeze in the Battle of Lake Erie
in 1913; prompted Francis Scott
Key to write the immortal Star
Spangled Banner in 1914. and
was flown by jackson at New Or
leans in 1916.
For twenty-three years the flag
with fifteen stars and stripes
figured in numerous stirring cpl.
sodes. Then with the admission
of five new States. Congress de-
cided to return to the original
thirteen stripe design and to add
one star for each State admitted
to the Union. When it is realized
that twenty-eight States have been
added since December, 1918. the
wisdom of this decision can be APP
preciated.
Slowly the nation has exl
banded westward and new States
have been added to the Union,
each represented BY a gIistening
star in the blue field. Symbolic
of an honest pride in the accom-
pIishments Of the past. together
with the courage aud faith. which
have always ruled the destiny Of
our great nation, Old Glory goes
marching on.
