Old Glory.
Both the Grand Union Flag and one
bearing a rattlesnake design were
carried ashore in the Bahamas in
1776, when U. S. Marines and blue
Jackets captured guns and ammuni-
ton from the British. During it's
brief career the former flag was &C
corded many honors, but it was never
formally acknowledged by Congress.
Since June IA, 1777, our only flag
has been the Stars and Stripes. be-
cause on that date it was officially
adopted by the Continental Congress
From time to time changes in the
numbers of stars or stripes have been
authorized but the basic design re-
mains much the same
There have been many highlights in
our flags history. John Paul Jones'
frigate Ranger received salute from
the French in Quiberon Bay, Febru-
airy IA, 1778, the first salute to the
Stars and Stripes from foreign pow
er Lieutenant Presley N. O'Bannon,
of the U. S. Marines, hoisted it at
Derne, Tripoli in April, 1905, the first
time it was ever flown over a fortress
of the Old World
BY the dawn's early light, Septem-
Der IA, 1914, Francis Scott Key saw
the Star Spanked Banner floating
over Fort McHenry and composed the
song which is now our national an
them. Our flag has been beloved by
Americans, eulogized by statesmen,
and carried to every part of the globe
In recent years it has been the Gus
tom to observe June II, the ami
versary of our flags adoption, as

AS EURPOEANS SEE 1T
Several visitors from Europe (pcr-
ticularly from supposedly conserve
tive Britain,) who have made short
stays in Washingto, OF tate, ha
been asked by local newspapermen ::
Does our New Dac!'s Socio-econo-
mic program seem .ad;"ll to you?"
The answer, in effect, uniformerly
has been:
"Why no. In comparison with our
various countries, various postwar
programs, it seems very moderate
But perhaps it seems radical to you,
for additionally you are a conserva-
tive people,
QUEER?
That undoubtedly sounds odd to us
Americans, accustomed to think of
ourselves as the most rampageously
free folk on earth.
Yet / have heard Socialists COM
plain that anarchists ale too conser-
vative.
The former say that when condi-
tons become intolerable, their policy
is to correct them by legislation,
whereas the anarchists reason, Let
nature take it's course, anyway"
Two or three years ago, Senator
Burton K. Wheeler of Montana (no
one will call him a reactionary) told
me. "This is the most conservative
country in the world" He was hest
tan to declare for reforms that he
deemed desirable, lest he be classified
as too violent a red"
Today he opposes President Roose-
velt's Supreme Court reorganization
plan.

Taking Course
At Bear Factory

George O'Lary of O'Larys Garage,
Inc, has enrolled for special train
ing course in automotive wheel and
steering alignment at the factory
school of the Bear Manufacturing
Company, Rock Island, Illinois
During his stay, he will obtain COM
plete instructions on the latest i'm
proved methods of properly servicing
the wheel and steering alignment of
automobiles and trucks Such will
also include expert training on
Strengthening axles, frames and
wheels with special equipment. The
benefits of this experience will be
placed at the disposal of local motor
lists and fleet owners, upon his return.
Wheel and steering alignment elimi-
mates excessive tire wear and insures
greater driving safety. Because of
this, it is fast becoming one of the
leading automotive services.

FARMERS BILL.

But what was the surprise of Congress recently to find the whole program boiled into one bill 'by the farmers themselves The Am erican Farm Bureau Federation had put the thing together, the public was told, and the Depart ment of Agriculture professed to have a 'hands-off attitude, although being willing to go along.
 Wallace and H. R. Tolley, AAA Administrator, kissed the thing off as in the hands of the farmers and pointed to Edward A. ONeal, Farm Bureau President, as the source of all information about it.
 It was a neat trick, but there had been slip. A day or so before a White House conference farm bureau leaders came to Washing ton and spent several hours listen- ing to Wallace and Tolley explain ing the contents of the legislative draft of the bill, just then being put together.
 But farmers talk loud and re- porterS waiting outside to get a report heard everything.

 He has been talking for a long time about his Joseph Plan" of crop insurance. to be coupled with crop control and soil conservation legislation in new agricultural program. But his special baby, the crop insurance plan, is not to the liking of all farmers. They have felt he was perhaps slipping fast one over on them by which they would be compelled ultimately to pay their own crop control bills instead of taking it from the Treasury.

 Attractive positions in m Dir e outposts of the Ministry of East Africa have drawn several score women to Gondar, Asmara, Gimma md other colonial cities.

 Chosen from long lists of appli- cants, the women sent to Africa are those judged best suited to pre- serve Italian culture among the empire builders and heighten its prestige among the natives.

MEXICO GIVES US. STUDENTS
 KISSING HINTS

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 18.-"Well, so long, I've got class at Is o. clock" aH That method of telling time after noon is one of the two things American students attending sum- mer school at the National Univer- sity of Mexico find it difficult to adapt themselves to. The other thing is class room lectures deliv- cred in Spanish.
 When they start talking about Is and .16 o'clock, it sounds as though they are referring to next week, or something,,p says Joan An dre, a coed from Luxemburg, Wis.
 More than 500 Americans from 37 states are enrolled in the uni versity this summer, most of them to learn Spanish.
 The school is housed in one building, the former residence of a Spanish grandee, and the campus is only a picturesque patio, about the size of the average American backyard. All class rooms open to the patio, and it is not uncommon to see a student outside convers- ing freely with a friend in class.
 Startling to the visitor from the United States is the chorus of hiss ing that occasionally arises from his Mexican fellow students. They are not hissing the professor how ever. A couple may be talking too loudly, or there may be too much shuffling of feet, and the missing is for silence.
 The professor does not have tol keep order. It is kept for him.

SHIFTING ROLES

Wallace and Tolley did the ex- blaming. The Farm Bureau men who later would take credit were doing all the listening. When the conference broke up, Wallace and Tolley shifted roles, and let the farmers do the talking.
 Best Information is that the bill was drawn up by attorneys of the Agricultural Department and the Farm Bureau.
 Not all farmers like the bill Parity payments and commodity loans are in great favor. Penalty taxes and quotas set up to prevent the surplus growing too large un- der the Joseph plan are less popular.
