record made of the action by indi-
vidual members.
Seventeen days after Lees declara-
! ton had been adopted, Congress de-
cided to have the declaration engroSsed
on parchment and signed by each
member of its body. On August 2 this
copy was ready. The members then
| present signed it, an unusual procedure
and explained by Mexican as a measure
| taken to prevent traitors or spies
from worming themselves among us. "
1t was a pledge of allegiance to action
already taken.
Some of these signers were opposed
to the Declaration, or had been on
July 2. The names of some members
who supported it were omitted from
I the sacred parchment. Some of the
signers did not become members Of
Congress until after July f. One signer
did not take his seat until November 4.
Actually, more than one-fourth of
those whose signatures appear on the
Declaration did not take part in the
proceedings of its adoption.
On July the Declaration was pub
licly read for the first time. This was
in Philadelphia. There was a parade
and singing, guns were discharged and
bells rang all day and half the night.
1t was read from a small platform
near the State House. According to
a diary Of the time, VERY few re-
spectacle people were present"
Lippard Has Good Story"
That is the full story. But lack of
fact did not hinder Lippard in his
account Of the ringing of the Liberty
Bell. He had f1orid style, he was

material for a good story. So he let
go without thought of consequences.

Liberty Bell rang out its thrilling peals
on the Fourth of July when the
Declaration of Independence was born
While Congress was debating the issue
behind closed doors, crowds of anxious
toWnsfolk gathered about the State
House. In the State House steeple is
an old, white-haired man. BY his
side stands tlaxen-haired youth with
laughing eyes of Summer blue"
The old man cannot read. The boy
spells out the inscription on the bell
The old man sends the boy to the
halls OF Congress, where, he explains
: a man with velvet dress and a kind

original account Of the ringing oi

The grain of truth is that, like
other buildings in which Congress
had held seSsions-in Baltimore, York

Flee in Auto.

Two youthful bandits early this
afternoon held up Miss Annie Vinci,

register of approximately $50.
Miss Vinci was alone in the store

Stand back or I will Shoot
Then after helping themselves to
the money they warned the young
woman not to come outside. The two
escaped in an automobile
Miss Vinci said that after one of
the bandits had opened the cash
register she helped him to get the
money out, being anxious for them TO
leave the store as soon as possible.
Police, summoned to the scene, began
an immediate lookout for the auto
mobile, the tag number of which was

New Deal Spokesman Says
Presidents Health
Is "PerfeCt."

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, August I'm
the first open attack by an admins
tration spokesman on the asserted
"whispering campaign" against Presi-
dent Roosevelt, Postmaster General
James A. Farley said yesterday the
President is in perfect health"
Farley told the San Francisco
Democratic County Committee that
critics have flooded the country with
propaganda" to destroy confidence
in the Roosevelt administration, and
particularly in the President himself" 4"
But, he said, President Roosevelt
sis in perfect health. he
is serene, and living the busiest
life in these United States smilingly,
cheerfully and most effectively"
Farley, turning to a defense OF
governmental expenditures, asserted
that routine governmental expend-
itures now are hundreds of mil
lions of dollars per year below what
they were when President Roosevelt
came to the White House
The only extravaganza that can be
Justly laid to the door of the admin
istration," he said, sis the money it
has expended in feeding the hungry,
giving work to the jobless and chang
ing the business balances. on their
ledgerS from red to black.
For example, the amount paid in
income taxes last year was $200,000,-
600 greater than the year before.
Take the amount of income tax you
have paid and figure what relation it
bears to your income. Apply the same
process to the $200,000,000 increase
that the Treasury reports and it will
be plain to you that the general pub
lie income in this country is three or
four billion dollars more than it was
q year ago That is one yardstick by
which you can figure what the Roose-
welt policy has done for business"
Farley, who will sail in a few days
for Hawaii, pointed to the two huge
bridges now under construction across
San Francisco Bay as tangible evil
dence Of the Presidents recovery pro-
gram.
