A postal force will work here on

stamps for Christmas mail being
sent in town to local desidents, in
stead of III cent stamps.
He points out with .02 cent stamp,
the letter win be first class mail

Woman Who Fled

Mrs. Mary Bernou
Had Recently Recalled
Riotine in City

An S5-year-old woman who fled
Danzig strife with her parents when
she was a child died yesterday as
war once more ragged about the
ancient city.
Mrs. Mary Bernau, who died at
her home, 938 Virginia avenue S.W.,
after an illness of two weeks, re-
called several days ago that there
were riots in Danzig when her
parents left for this country.
That's why we went" she said
"And now they are fighting again.
They will always be fighting in
Danzig"
Born in the former Free City in
the Polish Corridor for which Po-
land and Germany are now at war,
she came to Washington as a child
and saw the city develop from a
minor community to a major world
capital
Her parents established a store at
Eleventh and c streets NV, which
Mrs. Bernau later owned. Her hus-
buiiN, iouIo ICl ilcu, was 1Ol IIldIly
years tailor here located at Eighth
and E streets NV. He specialized
In military uniforms and made cloth
Ing for Presidents Grant and Gar
field. He was in the railroad station
at the time President Garfield was
shot. He was a member of the As
sociation of Oldest Inhabitants and
died in 1886, three weeks before his
Goth birthday anniversary.
Mrs. Bernau is survived by a
daughter, Katie Lillian Bernau, and
a son, Archie F. Bernau, both of this
city.
Services will be held at 2 pm. to-
morrow in the Taltavull funeral

Wild Lettuce
Lactuca cariadensis)

From June to October 1t is in bloom
and sets its seeds from July until
November.
1t is a traveller of note. From
Nova Scotia to the Northwest Ter
ritory, southwark to Georgia, Ala
bama, Louisiana and Arkansas, it is
a familiar sight, for its favorlte
haunts are meadows, fields. waste
places and roadsides.
Only where the soil is rich and
moist do you find it attaining the
heights first mentioned. But wher-

fine and Of q silky texture. The
seeds are released when mature.
Wild lettuce has most unpleas-
ant odor that is quite Ike opium.
The poisonous properties are not
sufficiently strong to be fatal, though
in some districts the cattle and sheep
soon acquire the habit of going to
the plant regularly. When the milk
cows sample the wild lettuce, con-
sumers are aware of it.
Kidding your ground of this plant
is by the route of destroying the
tufted root leaves far below the
crown. In a valuable field, hand
pulling does the trich. In q grain
field the plant must be destroyed
before it sets its seeds. These also
ride the airways and settle down in
new and often valuable spots, as do
their cousin, the prickly lettuce.
