carefully inspected.
In spite of the care taken with
inspection of the regular shipments
it is possible that some automobile
tourist in passing through the in.
tested territory about the San Fran
cisco bay, might, unwittingly pur-
chase some infested vegetables and
later discrad them along the high
way here, and as this vegetable
weevil feeds on many types of veg
citation it would rapidly spread and
cause an infestation here.

OF PANHANDLE OF
 ALASKA, JOKE
Cove rnment Officials Do Not Take Matter Very
 Seriously NO INDICATION OF ANY GENERAL MOVE Canadian s Proposal Will Meet with Strenuous
 Opposition

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26 Gov ernment officials are disinclined to take seriously the suggestion 10 be made to the British Columbia Legislature by Liberal Leader II. r. Kergin. that negotiations be opened with the United States looking to the acquisition by Can ada, of the Alaska Panhandle.
 Officials expressed surprise at the suggestion. saying it repre- sented no previous conversations or exchanges between the two governments on this subject and so far as is known here, no move ment in Canada of any importance has been taken.
 Canadian dispatches do not in dicate by what method it is pro posed to acquire the territory. Presumably it can only be acquir- ed by purchase from the United States and there is no indication here that proposals for the pur- chase would be favorably receiv- ed. In Administration circles such suggestion. officials be- lieve, would meet with most strenuous opposition in Congress, even if the Executive Branch is willing to discuss the subject, which does not appear to be.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-
 Possibility of a ticket head

 of Houston, Texas, for Vice
 President, is being discussed
 in Democratic circles.
 The boom for Jones as Smith s running mate, developed at a beefsteak dinner at the National Democratic Club and followed word from Gov. Dan Moody, of Texas. he positively would not he candidate for either the Presidency or vice-Presidency and did not want his name dis cussed.
 Jones is Director of Finance of the Democratic National Commit tee.
 Would Tie-Up Texas
 The Herald ldTribune, Repub- lican newspaper, commenting on the Smith-Jones slate, said: "The nomination of Jones would tie-up Texas to Smith, despite the Gov ernor's wetness and other alleged disabilities. and would appeal strongly to the Wilson Old Guard in the State as Jones was a close friend of President Wilson.
 "The Texas Democrats are bad ly split over the Smith boom. Col. Thomas B. Love and former Gov ernor Pat Neff are opposing the naming of any wet but honoring of Jones would go a good way toward modifying the Wilson wing and extremes drys and at the same time reward the gentle man whose management captured the Democratic National Conven- tion against opposition.
