food manufacturers throughout the
country won a decisive victory over
the government today when the su-
prsine court held that federal inspec.
tors under the pure food law could
not condemn 'bleached" flour unless
they proved that the -four contained
enough poisonous ingredients added
in bleaching to make the Hour in

Onicials OF the department Of asri-
culture have contended that the ad-
ding OF any quantity Of poisonous in
gradients was in violation of the law
The decision will be applicable to
every other article Of food claimed
to contain an added poison.
The case decided today originated
in western Missouri. The government
sought to condemn 25 sacks OF flour

In announcing the decision OF the
court Justice Day pointed out that the
government only complained that 1s

WHEN ONE DOESN'T
KNOW Who IS KING
Uncle Sam Will Arrange That
Detail and Swear
You In

If one really wants to become an
tain as to what crowned head he owes
allegiance, he needn't bother particu-
uarly--Uncle Sam will readily rectify
any slip-up of that character.
Federal Judge Charles B. Wilmer
demonstrated this at yesterdays ses-
sion of naturalization court when John
Dundoff, a Serb, was sworn in as a
citizen of the United States.
When Dundoff left for America dur
ing the recent Balkan war he lived in
European Turkey. After the war he
learned that his home town had been
included in the territory that had
been taken from Turkey by Servia.
In the meantime Dundoff had filed
his application for naturalization.
Hence, when the question popped up
as to whom he was to renounce allegi-
ance-Sulton or Peter of Servia-he
hesitated. Then he explained the cir
cumstances.
So the court directed that he for
mally foreswear allegiance to the Sui
tan of Turkey, swear allegiance to the
crown of Servia, and then renounce
the king of the Serbs and swear fealty
to the United States.
Dundoff was one of more than for
ty foreigners who were examined for
naturalization. More than 100 are
on the list and this necessitated a late
afternoon session OF the lot examin-
ed only three were refused their pa
pers.
Most of the applicants were Aus
trians although there were many Ger
mans, Russians, Bulgarians, Serxians
and Slavs. AS a rule these men be-
long to the reservists of their home
countries and are liable to be called
to the colors in the present Euro
pean war. Should they fail to respond
they forfeit to the crown any lands
they may own in Europe. unless they
are naturalized citizens of America.
