Hail to the fathers. May their Sunday afternoon na.p be filled with happy dreams. Use the parking lot on First street. Room for your car and about 100 others. It’s free. Fellows who shout "Back to the Constitution", are more concerned about getting back in office. Why hold another convention. Indiana's former senator Robinson is willing to be the republican candidate for president, so why monkey around? The coal strike has been called off; the House parsed the skeltonized NRA bill; Sam Insull was acquitted again; Huey Long stopped talking and Maxie Baer was knocked out, so everything seems to be : settled. It may be necessary to print the speeches of senators in the Congressional Record, but to give space to H-icy Long's rabble is more than to t. . It is estimated tha.t it will cost $5,000 to put his 15 hour speech in print and what's the gain? The Elks and Adams Post of the American Legion united in giving appropriate flag day exercises last evening. Yesterday marked the 158th anniversary of the making of the Stars and Stripes by Betsy Ross. The services were patriotic in nature and suggestive of the unity for which the flag stands. Robert M. Hutchins, youthful president of the University of Chicago, in his address to the graduates. stated he was not worried over their economic future, but was more concerned about their morals. ‘‘Time will corrupt you. The worst thing about life is that it is demoralizing," said the college president. ‘‘Courage, temperance, liberality, honor, justice, wisdom, reason, and understanding, these are still the virtues” and living up to them you will come through, was the final message left with the graduating class. Jimmy J. Braddock of New Jersey is the new heavyweight chami>ion of the world. The title may not mean a million dollar purse anymore, but to a fellow who formerly was on the township relief roll, it stands for plenty. Maxie Baer, defender of the crown, grown soft under the camera lights, night clubs and the sunshine of pretty women, couldn’t take it. The reporters refer to the new champion as the man “whom the depression and Maxie couldn't lick.” He may have the stuff, but the radio account of the fight didn’t indicate that either mauler could give much. Anyway Braddock is happy and as
the father of three children, he can have a big time telling them how he did It. Often civic and social organizations ponder on the kind of service they might render and varied activities are included in their programs. The Psi lota Xi sorority, interested in young girls, sponsored a short story contest and pleasing to all is the announcement that Miss Winona Fleming of this city won first place in competition with all entries l.sted in what is known in sorority circles as the Northern Province. Miss Fleming, a graduate of Decatur high school last May, contributed a story, “I looks up in Heaven” and after winning the local contest, was honored with the award of the province contest. More success to her and more activity of this ki n d—encouraging youth and assisting them in the development of talent. *STAR SIGNALS* by OCT A VINE ♦ — ♦ For persons who believe that human destiny is guided by the planets the daily horoscope is outlined by a noted astr-doger.

(U.R) — One I hundred Provincetown business men have joined in a campaign to remind Americans that Province-; town, not Plymouth, was the first landing place of the Mayflower's! Pilgrims. They want to teach the public that Provincegown’s SM-fOot Pilgrim Memorial Monument is not a sort of lighthouse to guide fishermen, as many tourists suppose, but rather a shaft marking the Pil-: grims' first landing place. These business men complain that Plymouth, with its famous Rack, has “stolen” the Mayflower publicity rightfully belonging to this ancient port at the tip of Cape Cod. In Plymouth, however, tourists are greeted with a moss-covered quip to this effect: That the Pilgrims on the Mayflower took one look at Provincetown and exclaimed: “Lei’s con ' tinue on the Plymouth. It can't | possibly be worse than this.” o Hen Laid Egg With 5-Cent Piece Inside Athens. Tex. (U.R) — The goose ' that laid the golden egg had nothing on the Athens hen that laid j the nickel one.
