Washington, D. C.-The Americans
in Panama have had cause for heated
protests recently, not on account OF
the Panama elections, but because of
an incident which called in action a
portion of the Panama army.
A foreign commercial house in Co.
Ion insulted the American flag, using
it to wash the windows of the estab-
lishment. Wayne o. Adams, of the
canal zone, as the story goes, wit
messed the desecration of the stars
and stripes and engaged in a hard
fought battle for the possession of one
of the flags which were being used to
clean windows.
He was pursued, according to re-
ports, by a section of the army of
Panama, consisting of two policemen
and member of the militia in full re-
gala.
AS result of the disrespect shown
the flag by the commercial house in
question the canal zone from one end
to the other is hung with boycott
signs and the offenders have found
less expensive wash rags.

OF planting reefs in the. Mississippi
sound.
Over 100000 barrels of shells will
be planted during the summer months
and, ii former experience is repeated,
these beds will be furnishing fair
sized oysters within the next three
or four years. The former expert
ments have been remarkably success
full, and the commission is getting the
work of propagation in first-class
shape.
According to members of the COM
mission, the reefs are now in better
shape than for some time.4 Shells
that were planted only three weeks
ago are developing clusters, and the
ratio OF growth is much larger in the
waters of the gulf than along the At
