A new theory about the. origin of the American flag: ‘is told: by the writer of the By the Way column in the London Daily Espress. It s sent by. a. correspondent. eyidently versed in such matters, who expresses the opinion that the attribution of “0ld Glory” to the arms of the Wash- ington family is exploded. E “It is much more probable,” he writes, “that the flag of the old East India company formed the pattern. This flag seems to have been used as the official flag of the 13 original states from January, 1776, to June, THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER , When a bl tars wis substituted for the ean- ton bearing the Rrglish ‘Union.’ The flag then hecame, in substance, that of today, though stars have been add- ed as other states adbered to the fed- eration,” The correspondent quotes authorities, “Troth must prevail, whatever it Is, but,”. says the cotumnist, “I like . the story told by Newman in his address- es to the Brothers of Oratory.

The only woman bird surgeon in the world is Miss Virginia Pope of New York. s Pope treats everything from bird croup to @bl s broken leg, and she goes out at any time of night to attend her patients just as any other ph, ian does.

The business girl, straphanging in the ‘subway at the rush hour, felt a gentle ‘tug on thie pocket of her rain- cofit. - Far from being disturhed, she grinned -sardonically, knowing Just :exactly one' dime' rested in the Shabby little purse resting in that par- ticular pocket. She was so hemmed in by fellow travelers that it was dificult to- discover if her suspicions were facts until she emerged with' the! struggling mass at her station, Then she dipped her hand lightly into the pocket. only to find, the ancient purse intact and in its accustomed spot. But that n't the only thing in the pocket. Extracting a hard sub- ‘'stance gingoes she stared in a daze at a roll of bills protected by an elas- tic band. Exhilarated and excited over this reverse state of affairs, she counted her ill-gotten gains and be- hold, she was the richer by 30 per- fectly good dollars. Whether a fellow passenger had dropped them by mis- take into. her. pocket instead of his own or a thief placed them there for fear of detection affords a wide field of speculation:” Anylew the business gitl has turned the' money into her college campaign fund and hopes it will not he refused as tainted money. —New York: Stn, IF SHE COULD HAVE KNOWN!

But it has its exceptions, 1lke everything else. One of the most romantic of them, per- haps, is contained in a recent news dispteh from Detroit, telling how an engine-room worker in one of the city botels at 30 cents an hour was spurned by the girl of his dreams because she was sure that he would never be able to suppért her. In less than a week after the spurn- Ing the man received a message from a Toledo attorney saying that he was one of three heirs to a $15,000,000 estate in California. Fiction, which revels in the happy ending, would have had the lucky one repeat his offer of marriage and meet with quick and maybe tearful acceptance, and then would have given us a pretty word picture of the smiling couple whirling westward on a train de luxe. But truth is cold and exact. The engine-room worker simply said good- by to the girl who had rejected him and went to lay claim to his inherit- ance—alone, Was this decision correct? And will the young woman, if her hand is sought again by some humble but steady workman, consider his earning capacity above his desire to make her his helpmate?
