WALLACE REFUTES
DANGER OF POPPIES

Fear that the Importation of Elan
ders poppy for use on graves OF
soldier dead in the United States
would. by quick spread of growth
result in damage to crops, was dis
PEELED by Secretary of Agriculture
Henry c. Wallace, who has issued
a statement at the request Of the
American Legion.
Mr.. Wallace says the European
poppy occurs somewhat abundantly
as a weed in the grain fields of
England. Belgium and France. 1t
has been grown in gardens through
out the United States since a very
early day in the settlement OF the
country, having been one of the
commonest garden flowers on the
agricultural frontier as it moved
westward during the period of col
onfzation and settlement.
Briefly summarized" says Ny
Wallace, 1T is the view Of the spe-
cialists of the department that in
ordinary garden culture, such as
the poppy has had in this country
for approximately 300 years. there
is little danger of its becoming a
troublesome weed"

Charges that there are millions OF

made in the current issue of the

Frank J. Coleman, prominent local
labor leader, is the editor.
Commenting on an issue of coun-
terfeit $50 reserve notes. which the
Secret Service warns are going the
rounds through the country, the la
Dor paper charges that "If our paper
securities were engraved and plate
printed as they should be. this
counterfeit. instead of being clever
and dangerous. would be considered
crude and easily detected. not only
by those who are familiar with the
handling of money, but the general
public as well.
The Bureau of Engraving" 1t
continues, "is issuing such notes due
to the poor grade of plates being
Used, paper that refuses to print,
ink that is never uniform in color
for two days in succession and
mania for speed in printing that has
Cripped the Bureau of Engraving

present fat appearance of printing

main reasons why the counterfeiters

STOWAWAY FILMS
ZEPPELIN FLIGHT
Italians Protect U. S. Camera
Man from Arrest by
French.

LONDON. Aug. 7.-The enterprise
of Ariel Varges, an American film
operator, in travelling as a stow
away in the German airship Bo.
densee nearly led to an international
incident.
The Bodensee. the last of the Ger
man dirigibles to be surrendered to
the allies, was allotted to Italy BY
the control commission. The Zep.
pelin Corporation telegraphed tc
Narges to come to Friedrichshafeu
and make the flight to Rome, for
he had Travelled in the airship when
she made her record maiden fiigh,
to Sweden last year.
An officer in the French section
of the control commission at Fried
richshafen, however, forbade Varges
to travel by the airship, no Amer
lean cinematograph operator nor
any other member of thhe American
Commission in Berlin. he said, would
be allowed to make the journey
Neither the Germans nor the Ital.
ians could understand the French
viewpoint, and it was not difficult
for Varges to hide in the structural
work of the rudder a few hours
before the Bodensee left.
AS soon as the airship was aloft
and circling round the airdrome the
cinema man worked hisway into
the navigation cabin. where he was
cheerfully greeted by the Italians
Borrowing a megaphone, Varges was
able to shout his compliments Ia
the French officer as the Bodensee
headed for Switzerland.
During the flight over Zurich.
Berne, Lausanne, Geneva, the Alps
Lyons, Marseilles, Nice, Monte
Carlo, San Reno, across the Medi-
terranean by way of Corsica and
the Island of Elbe, to Ostia and
Rome, Varges made some excellent
pictures. On the way the wireless
operator picked up a message from
the French control officer asking
for the arrest of Varges in Rome
and the confiscation Of his film.
Vargcs was naturally prepared
for this and made up dummy
package of film for confiscation. A,
the airdrome near Rome carbinierl
were waiting for him, but the chief
of the Italian Air Service gave hin
protection and instead of being ar.
rested he was loudly cheered and
taken to the officers mess for re.
freshment. An Italian staff car was
placed at his disposal for the roat
journey to Rome.
