Gardeners Nook
By GARDEN CLUB EDITOR

White iris, how pure, how lovely,
Like a virgin
In her starched lawn fete dress
Iris, pallid blue, gold veined,
And as if colored from dawn chills,
Or from the yellow-fingered touching
OF curious starlight
Purple iris,
Streaked with amethystine memories
of the night,
Health-glossed and firm as are those
ripe wings
Of oriental butterflies
So in my garden
Undulating ranks of iris,
Shiny holding their broad flat
blooms
(Like tripods of incense)
Aloft-towards the moist spearing
Of morning sunlight.
Michael Strange: Iris.

DODD CHALLENGES
SMITH TO DEBATE
Ridicules Opponent for Charge
He Will Be Only Rubber
Stamp

William E. Dodd. jr.. candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Con-
gress from the eighth district OF vir-
ginia. awaited a reply today from
Representative Howard Smith to q
challenge for public debate in Alexan-
dria on Friday evening, July %.
Mr. Dodd issued his challenge in
q letter to Mr.. Smith yesterday, the
subject to be Democratic Govern
ment."
while it is evident" Mr. Dodd
wrote. from your record in Congress,
that we have widely different ideas
on the responsibility of a Congress-
man to his own party's pledged plat
form. to the leader of that party and
to his constituents, feel sure that
we are in agreement on certain Of the
issues.
You were elected as a Democrat
and am campaigning as one. A few
years ago you stated in a speech that
you would be proud to be a rubber
stamp for President Roosevelt Per-
haps you can understand. then. why
am so little concerned over the
charge which your supporters are
making that am campaigning on a
'rubber-stamp platform
4 suggest Friday evening, July %,
as q suitable date for our meeting and
Alexandra as the most convenient
place. But II this date is not agreeable
shall be glad to arrange my schedule
to suit yours"
Mr.. Dodd spent busy day attacking
his opponent yesterday, charging in
two radio addresses that Mr.. Smith
is machine politician" is running
with Republican Endorsement and is a
foe of progressive legislation.
As an aftermath of a radio address
from Station WJSV last night, during
which transmission in Virginia was
cut of about two minutes during a
severe electrical storm. a spokesman
for Mr.. Dodd charged that the Virginia
Public Service Co. had deliberately
cut the power during that period. A
company official declared the inter-
ference was caused by lightning.

LONDON, July l4.-Count Court
Haugwitz- Reventlow decided today to
remain in London until he has seen
his young son Lance, mentioned as
the cause of trouble that may lead
to 4 Danish divorce of the count
and the former Barbara Hutton.
The 42-year-old Danish count was
said to have declared he was "anx-
ious" to see the handsome blond boy,
but at a court hearing yesterday the
nobleman promised not to visit the
London mansion where Lance is un-
der heavy guard nor attempt to com.
municate with Countess Barbara.
Il am making no statement on the
advice OF my solicitors" the London
News Chronicle quoted Haugwitz-
Reventlow as saying.
But I have not seen my son for
four weeks and I am anxious to do
80. The matter is being handled by
my lawyers and until it is settled
I shall know no more than you do"
The paper said the counts score
tary stated the count would make
legal application for permission to see
the son If necessary"
Sipro tha voothar hairoe, tn fhn
Woolworth fortune, already has made
Lance a ward in chancery, putting
him beyond control of either parent,
any meeting Of the father and son
probably would require court sane
ton.
At yesterdays Bow Street Court
hearing-when Countess Barbara
dropped charges against her husband
that he had threa tened her-the count
admitted through counsel he may have
intimated he thought the London man.
sion was mot the proper home for
Lance. but explained he meant only
that wealthy surroundings were not
suitable for the child"
The chubby, golden-haired boy was
made ward in chancery because the
count wanted him educated and reared
to the status OF Danish nobleman
but the rich mother who renounced her
American citizenship with her second
marriage, wanted him to wear "the old
school tie" Of some proud English
school.
He must remain under the court s
jurisdiction until he is 2l. He cannot
be taken from that jurisdiction without
the courts consent. The mother must
get the courts permission before TAX
ing any important step in his upbring-
ing.
She must consult the court on his
education, his choice of career. his re-
ligion and its permission must be OBJ
tanned If he desires to marry.

"Hopalong Rides Again 7 and What Price Ven
 geance' Show Tonight

When you've got a cast headed by Jack Benny, Ida Lupino, Gail Patrick and Richard Arlen, that should be sufficient guarantee of top-notch entertainment-but when Paramount has added hundreds of the most beautiful girls in Holly wood, two smashing orchestras- Louis Armstrong's Swing Orchestra and Andre Kostelanetz' Orchestra the six greatest living artists-and a half-a dozen of the most sensa- tional headliners of stage, screen and radio-that means that Artists and Models" which opens Sunday at the Coliseum Theatre, must rate as the top girl-and-music film of the year!
 Jack doesn't know what to do if he marries both girls, he's a bigamist-if he marries either one, the other will sue him for breach of promise! But just at one mo- ment when things look blackest, Gail Patrick gets an inspiration at the Ball, she corralls the four principals-Jack, Ida, herself and Dick and, by clever piece of strategy, straigtens everything out. So everybody is happy-the right guy gets the right gal-and the Ball goes on.

SWEDISH GIRLS FLY WITH PAA
 THIS MORNING
Mrs. Olaf Torkelson Saves Day by Serving as
 Interpreter

[ When an Interviewing Empire re- porter was "stumped' this morning by two attractive Swedish girls who could not talk English, Mrs. Olaf Torkelson, well known Juneau resi- dent, came to the rescue in the lob by of the Gastineau Hotel
 The girls were Edith Westerlund, who has a fashion shop in Pitea, Sweden, and Brita Roos, 17-year- old blue-eyed blonde from Belfors.
 Through Mrs. Torkelson the girls explained they had left Sweden June 19 on the Swedish-American line, and had come direct to Alaska, arriving here last night on the AL aSka.
 This morning they flew to Fair banks by PAA flying machine, 5 which is the term for airplanes in Sweden. Brita Roos will make her home at Tolovana on the Panama River, with her uncle and aunt, MT and Mrs. Henry Martin, who oper- ate trading post there.
 Edith Westerlund will visit with her uncle, Frank Nelson, who has mine in the Fairbanks area, and vii return via the Alaska Railroad in November. She will visit with friends in Seattle for time and will then return to Sweden and her fashion shop.
 Miss Westerlund says American styles are "just the same" as those in Sweden. Both girls said "there is no thought of war in Sweden and there is no depression" They also said Alaska was mot like Swe- den, but just like Norway"
 It is their first trip to American soil and the flight with PAA today was their first experience in air airplane.
 Both girls laughed at the clumsy attempts of the Empire reporter to speak Swedish when his vocabulary was limited to something like "Skol puhday something like that
