Giuen Exotic Note
 by Flo,vers
By ADELAIDE KERR

PARIS, rzay 30. - Flowers from foreign lands give an exotic touch to this seasons costumes.
 Chinese peoples, Japanese wis taria and hollyhocks, and bright Dutch tulips appear on many new spring dance frocks instead of the gardenias and roses which long have been favorites.
 Natural Blossoms
 One black chiffon gown has a waist-length cape covered with big red poppies made of a sheer blis- tered crepe, while a water green crepe gown has a cluster of crim- son poppies splashed from the de- collete to the waistline.
 The flowers sound a vogue for ''crinkled" blossoms rather than the smooth petalled blooms. Lilacs, wistaris and field flowers are typ ical of the times, which favor, for afternoon and evening clothes, blossoms which fall in soft lines and which are copied directly from nature rather than made in artifi- cial patterns.
 Flower bracelets and headdresses are made of the same small blooms to wear with summer evening clothes. The bracelets-six inches deep-are multicolored mass of tiny blossoms fashioned of organdy and velvet, while the headdresses are slender garlands worn just above the cluster of curls at the nape of the neck.
 Flowers are here on spring hats, too. A little wreath of wild flow CTS circles under one side of the brim of a natural colored bengal straw, big rosy peony is perched on the back of black straw beret and two soft peach-hued poppies are clustered on the brim of an afternoon hat having a peach hued top and black facing.

 Another outstanding development at the Tacoma district meeting was that the delegates are laying the groundwork for union shore and sea workers independent of but acting as an affiliate of the International Longshoremens Asso- ciation and also announced they will allow only Government ships carrying legitimate Government supplies to sail for Alaska. Further more, the delegates said that if the Government ships attempt to take on private cargoes the longshore- men will refuse to load cargoes until the matter is referred back to the union.

COLONY FAvORS PRIMO
 COMING FIGHT

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, May 3O.- Those stalwarts of the cauliflower industry who now are making their living in motion pictures gathered on the Paramount studio lots the other day and after some discussion decided that their fellow-actor, Max Baer, doesn't have much of chance against Primo Camera in his worlds heavyweight champion ship bout in New York, June IA.
 Fireman Jim Flyn, the man who knocked out Jack Dempsey in 42 seconds in Murray, Utah, back in 1916, offered his opinion first.
 Camera is a much improved fighter and he is so big Baer won't hurt him."
 Flynn went from the taxicab business in Phoenix, Ariz., after he quit fighting, to Hollywood where he is earning money as an extra.
 Joe Rivers, who fought Ad Vol gast several times for the worlds welterweight title, and lost on each occasion; Phil Bloom, who met Benny Leonard eight times; Billy MacGowan, veteran of 248 bat ties; Spike Robson, British feather weight champion from 1897 to 1904; and Nate Slott, all figure Camera should win.
 Tommy Paul, former N. B. A. worlds featherweight cham D ion, stands alone in selecting Baer.
 "Baer is faster" said Paul. He's a hard puncher and Camera is easy to hit. If Camera does happen to win, it will be by a decision. Baer's win would be registered with knockout"

Japanese "TaOin
 Rate'' Halt that .Of Occident

KYOTO, Japan, May 30.-Twins are almost twice as rare among the Japanese as among Occidental races, says Dr. Taku Komai, pro- lessor of ethnology at Kyoto Im- perial university. His investiga- tions led him to this conclusion, and he presented it to a recent gathering of scientists here without attempting an explanation.
 Twins occur once in about 15o births in this country, he said, whereas in Germany, for example, one birth in every 80 produces twins.
 Another point in which the Jap anese differ from western races, according to the same authority, is that among the Japanese in two cases out of three twins will be of the same sex. The rule among occidentals, he said, is just the op- posite, that in two cases out of three twins will be of opposite sexes.

 COOPERATIVE

 Text of Speech
 It was the text of his short talk that we should do honor and rev. erence not only to those who bore arms, but also to the drummer boys of 10 and l2 years who were taken into the thick of the battle with the troops, and to the wives and mothers of Civil War Days, who had a much harder struggle than many now realize, due to isolation, transportation difficulties, and to the fact that so many of the men were under arms, making the bur den of tilling the soil and provid- ing food fall upon the shoulders of the womenfolk
 The American Legion Memorial Service ritual was read by Capt. J. M Clark, Past Commander of the local post, followed by the benediction offered by T. B. Setz- CT, Post Chaplain.

HOW MANY PEOPLE OVER IS

Much is said these days about pensioning all
persons in the United States over 65 years of age
and who have no visible means of support To
many it may be interesting to learn that at the
time of the 1880 census there were approximately
1884, O09 persons residing in the United States
aged 65 more of which nearly half or about
S,307,00 were women. According to the Social
Work Yearbook about one-third of this total are
dependent. -... ... Il. .'
Since there are approximately 125,O00,000 in
habitants in the United States, according to the
census, 2,217,000 dependent because of adj
vancing years. Should each of these persons re-
ceive only SO per month it would cost gov
eminent more than $2,5OO,OO 900 each year to
maintain them.
There are about as, 900 persons in Union coun-
ty, and should Two out of every 100 become en-
titled to old age pensions, receiving only $40 per
month, it would cost the taxpayers $10S, 900 a
year to maintain them. ..D.. 5,,: 500 ST.
But should dependent aged persons receive pen
sions, the money would only go round and round,
and which is infinitely better than when boarded
by the wealthy.-Monroe Enquirer.

VTASHINGTON-In politics it's
" called 1.-The .payoff."
Joseph P. Kennedy got his
when Roosevelt damned him in
as chairman of the new Seeuri-
ties and Exchange Commission,
which will regulate the stock
markets and issuance of stocks
and bonds.
Outside of politics, Kennedy
was known as hard-boiled, able
fnancier of New York and Bos-
ton, a "Wall -Streeter" who had
participated in one of -the~stock
market pools exposed by Ferdi-
nand Pecora in the Senate inves-
tigation-the sort Of pool the
SEC Isl required to prevent.
Inside of politics, Kennedy was
one of the four men who tossed
in $4,000 apiece to the Roose-
welt pre-conventicn campaign, an
intimate friend of both Roosevelt
and Jim Farley, who travelled with
them much during the campaign,
and a. gent to whom the Demo-
cratic National Committee now
owes 100000.
1t seems that Kennedy, fever
lshly opposed by authors Of the
Securities and Stock Market Acts,
could have had almost any old
job in this administration. He
demanded this one and he got it.
The appointment was a COM
promise between the liberals here
and Wall Street, which wanted
at least two of its own folks on
SEC. The liberals wanted no
more than one Wall Streeter and
sought the Craftsmanship for
either Ferdinand Pecora, who ex-
posed the Wall Street rackets, or
lin Lands, co-author of the acts.
They won part of that when
Roosevelt named what are now

DOGS AND DOGS

Different kinds of dogs have tc
be dealt with in different ways.
The dog that shows plainly he
would not hesitate to attack you
from the front, may be too much
of a gentleman to bite you If you
turn YOUR back on him or show
plainly you do not intend to fight
him. Rarely will dog bite a per-
son who shows no fear of him,
who indicates no unfriendliness
toward him, and who is straight
forward and unhesitating in his
behavior.
But the skulking cur that would
sneak up behind you and nip you
and run, would not give you
square deal. You have to keep
an eye on him. Sometimes you
can make peace with him and
sometimes he is so low down and
mean that the only way you can
keep him from grabbing the calf
of your leg is to kick in his Stats
OF make him think you will.
There are some persons whom
dogs will instinctively bite, while
others they will instinctively not
bite. A person who is afraid Of
dogs is not cut out to be a collec
tor or a deliveryman. Dogs sense
any fear OF them and are inclined
to bite those who fear them. Evi-
dence of fear to dog is evidence
of guilt. a
