Dutchman's Breeches.

OILY. boys and girls, some ma
ture lovers call them, and In
the very early Spring they rush
~ out of the earth to greet the
sunshine before the great trees
overhead form a leafy canopy.
The leaves are like exquisite lace. a
delicate green above, with a blush
green underneath. Each leaf is finely
divided. with three major divisions, and
these in turn cut into three. All the
leaves come directly from the root.
In the first Spring days great car
pets of these dainty leaves cover moist
woodlands, creep over rocky crevices
where rich soil is deposited and from
April to May the white hearts" or
"ear drops" from Nova Scotia to the
Carolinas and west to Nebraska are
known to wild flower lovers.
The dutchmen's breeches must gather
food during the time they have the
sunshine and store 1t in the roots, In
order that they may mature their seeds
for the following Spring. BY Midsum-
mer not a trace of the lacy leaves will
be seen. It is for this reason that many
who have rock gardens have trans
planted these dainty little white flowers.
Like all woods flowers, the blossom
is delicately colored. 1t may be found
dangling on the tip Of the long, slender
stem and is the reason they have been
called "ear drops" as they remind one
instantly of pendants, or earrings. But
some one saw the resemblance to wee
breeches swaying in the air, and this
name appeals to every one. The legs"
of the dutchman's breeches are long
tubes which lead to the pockets" where
the nectar is hidden.
Madam Bundle Bee Is the most well
come guest. She has a long tongue
and knows where to find the nectar

WOMEN PUZZLE.
To EMBASSY

What to do with women at
taches at the United States en-
bassy in Moscow? That is the
problem facing the State Depart
ment.
To begin with, the rumor got
around yesterday that women will
be barred from all jobs on the
staff at the embassy. The report
reached the First Lady of the
Land, who asked the State De"
partment about it. She was as
sured that they we're not being
barred.
But now it has come out that
women attached to embassy staffs
live sometimes at the embassy
and sometimes in outside quar-
ters. In Moscow, however, living
quarters outside the embassy are
not desirable, it has been pointed
out.
Now they have to find room in
the embassy.

Quick Raid
From a leather belt under
her dress she drew a long keen
edged knife and slashed and
hacked a long slit in the
leather.
Through this she pulled out
shirts, collars, underclothing
and then a packet of papers,
taped and sealed. From this
she ripped wax and tape, and
tore open every envelope.
Here was his commission!
Here were lists of mems names
and addresses in northern
cities. Here was a letter from
G. A. CASTOR to c. L. Vallan-
digham. It had to do with a
depot of hidden war material
in Chicago, and a plan for
Seizing the U. S. gunboat Michi-
gan.
Here was another letter to
Vallandigham, signed by Glenn
ent c. Clay; another to John
Porterfield from Judah P. Ben
jamin. These latter concerned
a plot to disorganize Federal
finances and withdraw gold
from circulation.
There was a letter from
Jacob Thompson to Col. Rob-
ert Martin concerning seven
other Confederate officers who
had made their way into north
ern cities to lead the Sons Of
Liberty in the impending revo-
luton.
There was one more letter in
cipher, directed to Vallandig-
ham-no doubt the formal or
der to begin operations by
seizing Indiana, Illinois and
Ohio.
Gathering all these papers
into a bundle. she left the
room, closed and locked the
door and sped toward the STAIR
way.
Operator Gait sat in the lob.
by, smoking. When he caught
sight of her descending the
stairs he went to meet her.
Not Quite Candid
"The man is gone" she whis-
pered, "but I've got his pa
pers."
"was it Captain Gailliard,
ma'am?"
"Yes. Find Dodd and bring
him to the Eleventh Street
side door,
She went on into the pas
sageway and found Cammock
at his post. Almost immedi-
ately Dodd and Gait came
hurrying down Eleventh Street.
Captain Gailliard was not in
his room." she said, "but 7

Gentlemen, you will be good
enough to carry these papers to

shall, examine them, telegraph
their contents to Colonel
Sharpe, and await further or

Justice, cooperGted tUith the
committee In its Investigation.
BY THOMAS F. CULLEN
NEW YORK, Dec. 28 G.N.S0. 4.
Congress will strike the first real
blow at racketeering ever deliv-
cred on behalf of Uncle Sam If it
enacts into law the recommends
ton Of Senator Royal s. Cope
land, chairman Of the Senate
subcommittee on racketeering and
crime, to provide for life i'm
prisonment for anyone who in
timidates with violence business
men engaged in interstate COM
merce.
He will recommend that the
antitrust laws under which the
Federal Government regulates
trade between the States be
amended to prevent racket meth
DDS in this form Of commerce.
Limitations Noted
Copeland points out that the
United States Government can
legislate only on business mat
terS which are carried on from
one State to another and cannot
regulate those of a local nature.
However, most Of the trade of
the nation is transacted across
State borders, and this Interstate
Commerce has been subject to
racketeers in the past.
The Federal antitrust laws
have been inadequate to prevent
the levying of tribute on business
by the underworld. These laws
originally were designed to stop
monopolieS and combinations in
nationwide commerce.
Penalties for violation of anti
trust laws are considered too light
to be very effective if used
against the underworld, although
they have been recognized as
severe enough to keep business
men from combining into organ
1ZationS which would interfere
with the free flow Of interstate
commerce.
Laws Used In New York
These laws have been used by
the Government, in the absence Of
stronger ones, in New York as a
basis of prosecution in the poultry
and fish racketS.
However, under the Copeland
bill it will be a violation of the
United States law for anyone to
try to compel another person who
is engaged in interstate trade to
do anything or abstain from doing
anything which that pereson has
a legal right to do. This will be
the keystone of the attack on
rackets.
It will further be provided that
If violence is used or threatened in
the coercion the guilty party may
be imprisoned for such term of
years as the court in it's discretion
determines. Therefore, it will be
possible for the court to impose
life imprisonment on the type of
criminal who preys on legitimate
business.

 The names of Henry Ford and the Ford Automobile company niekored strangely through the maze of events.
 Gov Comstock, from his execu: tive office at Lansing, first accused the Ford Motor company of fail- ing to cooperate with Genoral Mo- tors corporation and the Chrysler corporation in sustaining tho Union Guardian Trust company of De. triot. It was imminent collapse Of the Guardian Trust that prompted the bank moratorium.
 Later the governor said that he had "misunderstood the facts" that neither tho Chrysier corporation nor General Motors was 0 deposi- tor in tho Gpardian Trust. His interpretation of the cause of tho moratorium was ill-foundod tho
