SCHOOL’S OUT—RE CAREFUL I , Closing of public and parochial schools means that children will not be guarded at street crossings by the school safety patrol until fall, creating a hazard for motorists and a worry for parents, Geo. Barton, head of the Chicago Motor club safety department, warned today. “Being free from the restraining influence of teachers and the patrol and attracted by the summer weather and outdoor recreation, children are more exposed to traffic and the danger of accidents accidents 1 n vplving youngsters Increases from June to September,” he pointed out. The motor club recommends that parents everywhere teach the following safety rules to their? children for their protection while the safety patrol is off duty and when organized supervision Is not available: 1. Play only in playgrounds, yards, or on the sidewalk. 2. Cross streets only at intersection after looking both ways. 3. Skate only on sidewalks xnd never so fast that it’s necessary to run dver into the street to stop. 4. Keep to the right near "the curb when riding bicycles *in the street, and always obey traffic regulations. <■ •i 5. Never hitch-hike and always walk facing traffic when hiking on the highway.

FLAG 162 YEARS OLD & Flag Day, on June 14, commemorates the anniversary of the adoption of the Stars and Stripes as the national emblem by an act of Congress 162 years ago. During the Revolutionary. War a number of unofficial flags of various designs appeared among the regiments of the Continental Army. A flag adopted in 1775 had 13 alternate red and white stripes, representing jhe 13 colonies, but carried the British crosses of St. George and St. Andrew in a blue canton, to indicate that allegiance to the King had not been renounced. Even after the Declaration of Independence in 1776 this flag was displayed by forts an d ships for several months. But on July f l 4, 1776, Congress officially adopted a new flag, in the following resolution: “Resolved that the flag of the 13 United States be 13 stripes, alternate red and white; that the Union be 13 stars, white in a blue*, field, representing a new constellation.” ~ ’ When Vermont and Kentucky were admitted to the Union, two stripes were added to the flag, making 15. But it was seen mat the addition of a stripe i?or each new state would spoil the symetry of the flag, so that in future there should be only the original 13 stripes, but that a star should be added for each new state. (The pretty tradition that Betsy Ross made the first flag according to a design suggested by Washington has been popularly accepted, but historians doubt its authenticity. Since its establishment in 189 t, the observance of Flag Day has become widespread, and is the occasion for patriotic exercises, in which reverence for the flag and all it stands for is inculcated. The Order of Elks has adopt, ed a most inspiring ritual for its Flag Day ceremonies. A Milwaukee judge recently denied divorces to two “fishtug widows,” saying: Fishing is a wholesome recheation, and a wife who objects to her husband going fishing is unreasonable and over-exacting.”

AVERAGE WHEAT CROP PREDICTED FOR STATE “The crop prospects for Indiana as a whole appear at the moment to be favorable,” stated M. D. Guild, manager of the Indiana Grain Co-operative, Inc- “Recent scattered rains over Indiana have been very helpful to the growing wheat c ro P an<i looks if Indiana would produce an average crop. We have heard of no serious damage by rust or insect Infestation and, for these reasons, it is probable that the quality will be average or better. “The recent rise in the wheat market is attributed to poor crop prospects in the’Southwest and lack of moisture in the spring wheat belt, which has retarded early germination of seeding. “The oat 8 prospects are not so promising,” continued Mr. Guild. “Early dry weather delayed planning, and reliable information Indicates that the crop is short and of poor co|(>r. Due to the fact that soy beans are rapidly displacing the oats crop, it is not likejy that the lack of good prospects in oat s will materially affect the farmers’ income. “The corn planting has all been completed and, as a w hole, the crop is off to a good start. “Information which we receive from the country indicates that the arceage to soy beans will be very materially increased this year, due to the attractive price as compared with other grain.” declared Mr. Guild. “Soy beans also fit into the AAA program, and the farmers are seeding additional acreage in order to qualify in the soil conservation plan.” Driving along after backing from a curb in New Orleans • Merton Oxford heard persistent horn blowing behind him, -but looking back, saw no car following.

LINCOLN’S GRA3LMAR An intimate momento of Abraham Lincoln and his youthful sweetheart, Ann Rutledge, was recently received by the Library of Congress, where it will .be preserved with other relics of our firsts martyered president. It Is the Kirkham’s Grammar which Lincoln and Ann studies in New Salam, 111., 100 jgaars ago. Textbookg were scarce in those days and Lincoln obtained the grammar second-hand from its former owner, walking a dozen, miles to secure it. This was in a New Salem store and boarding with Ann’s parents. When he had mastered its contents he gave the book to Ann, writing on the title page, “Ann M. Rutledge is now learning grammar.” It is said that Abraham and Ann became engaged on July 4, 1833, shortly before Lincoln’s election to the state legislature. Ann was stricken with malarial fever and died August 25, 1835, and intimate friends of Lincoln declared he never recovered fro n his frief for the only women he ever truly loved. ’ The book was preserved by the Rutledge family, finally coming into the possession of William Rutledge of Milton, Mont., a nephew of Ann. From him it was borrowed by Miss Jane Hammand for the public library of Decatui, 111. Not long ago, with Mr., Rutledges consent, she presented it to the Congressional Library. There it may how be seen in the case which also contains Lincoln’s Bible in which he inscribed bis family records with his own hand.

Household Hints % By BETTY WELLS < L _j 1— JUST saw an interesting color ** theory worked out when the Hendersons renovated their old place. Marie Henderson developed an idea of six basic colors to use throughout the entire house, selecting tones that would be harmonious and so interchangeable. The colors she chose, (with the help of a decorator in a department store), were rose quartz, pale water color blue, beige, morning glory blue, raisin and mauve. Glance over these colors and you will see that each one will go with the others. Think what ; that will mean in years to come in shifting things from one room to another! Here’s how it’s worked out in t)J£ Hendersons’ house. The: living room has pale water color blue walls with a raisin carpet Furniture coverings are in the deeper morning glory blue and mauve . . . with accent pieces in floral chintz on a raisin ground. This chintz is used for draperies over crisply ruffled white sheer curtains. Accessories are in rose quartz, beige The dining room has walls of the same pale blue, but the carpet is in morning glory blue here. Curtains and draperies are the same but the old dining chairs have their backs and seats slip covered in am exquisite tone of rose quartz corG I 11 nyyA The painters glared at her. duroy (very practical for the purpose by the way). Shades of rosequartz and mauve a(re repeated in .porcelain and flower prints on the walls. The ,guest room has rose quartz, walls and a mauve rug. The curtains here are sheer white and ruffled with a swag valance of flowered chintz in various pastel tones. The bedspread, is of this same chintz and the upholstered chair has a cover of soft blue. The Hendersons’ room has white walls, beige rug, white curtains and draperies of white chintz with a. bright gardep patterned floral design in large scale faced back with bands of plain raisin color. The bedspread is a raisin color chenille with a quilt at the foot made of the big floral chintz. A pair of easy chairs have raisin coverings while the dressing table has a flowered chintz skirt with the top under the glass covered in raisin color and the bench in raisin.
