Lyons, France-A paper substitute for glass which was invented during wartime for use in refugee homes is now being made in great quantities by the factories in Lyons to supply the demand of truck farmers and horticulturists.

PAPERS
co TO Mr.. HUGHES

All papers in the War Department
relating to the case of Grover Cleve-
land Bergdoil escaped American draft
evader. now in Germany. were trans-
mitted to the State Department today
at the direction, of Secretary Weeks.
with a request that they be consld-
cred from an international viewpoint
The Secretary said he had made a
careful study of the papers and found
nothing to indicate that any formal
request for return of Bergdoli had
been made of the German govern
ment. The war status between th.
United States and Germany had "A
natural effect on diplomatic relations.
Mr. Weeks said, but he added tina:
Bergdoli had violated British pass
port obtained in Canada, and that
as Great Britain was at peace with
Germany. il would be possible for her
to ask for delivery of persons who
had violated passport laws
There was no intimation. however
that the United States would suggest
that Great Britain cooperate in an
effort to get Bergdoll back to this
country.
MIR. Weeks said there was nothing in
the files to indicate that Brig. Gen
Allen, commanding the American. oc-
cupational forces in Germany, had
been directed to act either in the case
of Bergdoll or that of the two soldiers
detained in Germany for attempting.
to kidnap the draft evader.
Secretary Weeks said that in trans
mittirg the papers to the State De-
partment he had asked only that he
be advised of the result of a study OF
the case from an international view
point.

SCHOOL USE RULES
ARE BEING CHANGED
Miss Norton, Community Sec
retary, Making Revision
of List Prepared.

Steps to revise some of the rules
and regulations governing the use of
public school buildings by community
centers and other organizations have
been taken by Miss Cecil b. Norton,
general community secretary, at the
request of school officials. it was
learned today.
This action follows protest by the
Federation of Citizens Associations,
which has asked school authorities
to amend the rules so that the build
lngS might be used without unneces-
sary restrictions and without cost.
The rule relative to the handling of
fees charged by the community CEN
ters Will be among those amended, it
is understood. The others TO be
changed relate to the use of the
school buildings by outside organiza-
tionS.
Adoption Is Expected.
The new regulations will be sub
mitted to the board of education for
its action at the next meeting We'd
nesday. They undoubtedly will be
adopted. as it is said all members of
the board and school authorities are
in favor of some changes.
School officials last fall on account
of the dissatisfaction voiced by sew
eral organizations regarding the gov
erning of functions held in the COM
munity centers, took action to frame
a new set of rules applicable to the
use of school buildings by community
centers. clubs and societies. These
revised rules were never acted on by
the school board. They probably will
be submitted to the board with a few
additional changes. which are being
made by Miss Norton.
The board of education held a spe-
cial conference behind closed doors
yesterday afternoon at the Franklin
School, at which school officials said
tentative changes and improvements
in the school system were discussed.
