ANNUAL SALE OF
 POPPIES BEGIN.
Legion and Auxiliary in Drive
 to Aid Stricken S0rViCelnen

EddyGlover post and the Ameri- can Legion auxiliary started its an- nual sale of poppics today. The sale is conducted annually hy these tive organizations to give the public all opportunity 10 wear the flower as a tribute 10 the memory Of the mon who gave their lives in the service of their country during the World War.
 The poppy is an especially signi- ftcant reminder of the men whose bodies still rest in France and Of those whose lives were lost in inc struggle ended eight years ago. In the spring of 1919, amid the com plete devastation and havoc caused by constant smelling in the war area in France, the poppies bloomed in abundance on the battle fields where so many American boys fell to rise no more. The picture was so in dellbly impressed on the minds of the sorvicemcn that the American Legion and the American Legion auxiliary adopted it as their official memorial flower in September 1920. IL is now the official memorial flow CT of the French, British and Cana dian World War veteran organiza . tions.
 The poppy has won a place In the hearts of the people all over the world not only because of its signi- ticance, but because through the sales of the flowers, the burden of those for whom the war is not vet and never will be over. has been frightened.
 The flowers offered for sale are made by the disabled men in gov crnment hospitals and over $65.0oO is being paid them each year for the work in tashioning them. The manufacture Of them has become an industry in the government hospitals in Arkansas, California, Idaho, Ken lucky, Missouri Oklahoma, Oregon and Virginia. They are construct ed for local needs under the guid- anCe of the American Legion and it's auxiliary and the departments Of Kansas, Minnesota and Wisconsin have had them made for the depart ments not carrying on in this in dustry.
 The disabled men are paid one cent each for each poppy made and for many this is the only possible earned money since the war. No service work can replace this indus. try which brings to the disabled the realization that they can again take their places in the world as wage earning citizens. Through them, al- so. sunshine is brought to the sick bed of that army. the members of which have not forgotten and can not forget. It represents two things, the effort of the disabled man to make a living and the sacriicial blood of the men who fell in Fland- CTS fields. It is a memorial to all who died in the service and carries with it reverence and understand ing.

NEW YORK BANDITS
 IN S35,OOO HOLDUP
Three Men Attack Bank Mes.
 SengeT and Escape

New York. May 25 [P - Three armed men attacked David Swim. ton, negro bank messenger. today as he left the Bronx branch of the Hamilton National bank and es- caped with $35,0OO he was carrying in a brown paper package under his arm. The money was being transferred to the main bank on West Forty Second street
 Swinton had just stepped out of the bank building when a large red touring car appeared. Two of the men jumped from the automobile and approached Swinton. Without warning. one of the men struck him on the head with a club. He fell unconscious and the other man seized the package of money. Both jumped into the automobile. which sped away.
 The robbery occurred so quickly that, although witnessed by a half dozen persons. traffic policeman just around the corner was not aware of what had taken place for several minutes.
 A patrolman commandeered an automobile and chased the robbers south on Walton street to 169th street where he lost their car in the trafic.
 A policeman stationed near the bank had been called from his post just a few minutes before the rob- bery by false accident report.
 Although the police reported the amount stolen was $34,OO0 officials at the main office of the bank placed the amount at s4,O0o. They explained that the messenger had been sent alone with the money for the first time today, because the amount was so small they did not think an armored car necessary.
