Police are rounding up men accused of robbery in several northern Indiana towns, which is furth-| er proof that crime does not pay. France is having more than its share of trouble. For the second time in two weeks, efforts to form a cabinet have failed and chaos in governmental affairs is the result. The treasury is attempting to hold up the value of the franc and all sorts of financial problems fills the picture. A few years ago France was riding high, but it seems that every nation must go through the same ups aud downs financially. Fort Wayne staged unique and 1 interesting high school commencement, merging the exercises of North Side. Central aud South Side all on one program. The ceremonies were held at the North Side athletic field aud diplomas were awarded to 939 graduates, attending by a crowd of 15.000. It was a great community demonstration and no doubt made every sclaxil official, parent, student and citizen feel happy and proud. County eighth grade school graduates will be honored with the presence of Floyd I. McMurray, state superintendent of Public Instruction at the annual commencement exercises to be held at Berne June 15. A class of 283 boys and girls, representative of every township in the county will receive diplomas. County Superintendent Striker and the township trustees have planned an interesting program and Adams county will be glad of the opportunity to welcome Superintendent McMurray, it being

his tirst official visit here. The country still has confidence in President Roosevelt and there is every reason why it should. Even though the Supreme Court knocked out the NRA, the recovery act accomplished great good during the period referred to as ‘‘the emergency.” The his cabinet and members'of Congress will work out a plau and continue to think of and act in the interest of the people. Rock bottom in • everything wa s reached when President Roosevelt assumed office and even the Supreme Court, in its decision, took the view that the J emergency was now over. President Roosevelt saved the nation from chaos and bloody revolution. He will continue to be the greaj. leader. Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe may not have received the highest honors awarded in King George's birthday list, but there is no one in the lot whose right to recognition will be more widely conceded and more generally applauded. The Ontario doctor lias been made an officer of the Order of the British gmpire. That may not be as much as if he

The Callander pliysiciau, who was iu at tendance at the birth of the Diouue quintuple's and has administered iu jheir welfare during the first year of their lives, looks ou the King's award as a great honor to himself, but most of all as reflecting credit on all country doctors, j He is right in the belief that the i British sovereign has called world! attention to members of the medi-l cal profession who deserve more consideration than they generally receive. The country doctor and | hard-working family physician are still prime factors iu preserving health aud relieving the ills uX mankind. —Indianapolis Star. o—*s'tar~sign al¥* by OCT A VINE . “▼ I For persons who believe that human destiny is guideil by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astrologer.

Waving triumphantly through the year, the Star Spangled Banner 1 will reach another milestone in its < history with the observance of its I birthday on June 14. Romance and a certain mystery 8 have surrounded our flag since its * adoption 158 years ago, clouding 1 its origin in a web of circum- * stances that historians have never been able to unravel successfully. ' It Is known definitely, however, that on June 14, 1777. the Contin- 1 ental Congress resolved: “That the ’ flag of the thirteen United States ‘ be thirteen rtripes, alternate red ■ and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation. Thus this date has come to be observed each year as Flag Day. < Scores of flags represented the 1 hopes and aspirations of our forefathers. Colonial flags show beav- ’ ers, rattlesnakes, pine trees and ' various other insignia. Some bore 1 the words. "Hope,” "Liberty, ’ or ‘ "An Appeal to Heaven." A favor- 1 he motto beneath the rattlesnake 1 design was "Don’t Tread on Me.” The first flag to show a unity of ’ purpose on the part of the colon- ( ists consisted of thirteen stripes. ( similar to the design of today, ex- ( cept that where the stars now ap-|, pear the crosses of St. George and, St. Andrew were shown. It , WaS H usually called the Grand Luton ( Flag, and the crosses indicated , definite tics with the mother country, which the colonists were as yet unwilling to sever. DILLINGER GANG I MEMBER CAUGHT Joe Fox, Michigan City Escaped Convict, Caught In Chicago Chicago. June 5— (U.R) After capture *of Joe Fox, charter member of the Dillinger gang of outlaws. federal agents eearched the middle west today for Alvin Karpin and Johu Hamilton, the nation's most vicious public enemies. Fox. one of a band of convicts ■who fled the Michigan City. Ind., prison iu 1933 to form the nucleus of the Dillinger mab, was seized: here yesterday by police and postal authorities as he left a southside apartment building. He did not resist. His arrest left John Hamilton as the only member of the Dillinger gang at liberty. Postal Inspectors J. R. McWhorter and J J. McCarthy, who directed the capture, left immediately for Ohio. This gave rise to belief Fox may have revealed Hamiltons hideout. Rumors that Karpin, public euemy No. 1, and leader of another gang had been captured at Madison, Wis., were denied by officials. J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the federal bureau of investigation in Washington, refused to comment. The escaped bandits who joined John Dillinger left a bloody trail as they followed the desperado. Oct. 12. 1933, they raided the Lima. 0., jail and shot and killed j Sheriff Jess Sarber to free Dii- j linger who had been arrested therp. o— — Trade in a Good Town — Decatur

When stars replaced the British insignia, Old Glory was launched on its career as our national emblem. At first there were ouly thirteen stars in the blue field, but as the years passed aud state after state entered the Union, the number of stars multiplied until now there are forty-eight. From time to time slight changes in the flag have been authorized by Congress, and a design of fifteen stars ana fifteen stripes remained in vogue from 1795 until 1818. Then Congress authorized a return to the flag to its original form of thirteen stripes, one star being added thereafter for each state entering the Union. Research has faTied to prove definitely just who was responsible for the design of our National Flag. A favorite tradition points to Betsy Ross as the needlewoman whose fingers wrought with loving care the first sample of the Stars and Stripes, which was almost identical with the flag as we know it today. We are told that late in the spring of 177 G her little shop in Philadelphia was visited by some distinguished patrons. A committee headed by George Washingtou called on Mrs. Ross and submitted a rough design of a new type of flag in which stars had been substituted for the crosses of St. George aud St. Andrew.
