LONDON, Sept. THE glow of

tonight as German raiders launched
a nighttime attack after striking

Near Fleet street, the newspaper

streets. They watched a plane

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Sept. l.
Fifty Iron Guardists, armed with
revolvers and dynamite, were re-
ported, authoritatively, tonight to
have attacked former King Carols
special train as it crossed the bor-
der into Yugoslavia en- route to
Switzerland.
Amid a rain of bullets. they
shouted that they wanted to re-
move Magda Lupescu. Carols
friend. The train sped on without
stopping.
Some diplomatic circles here said
Carol and Nine. Lupescu were
planning to take up their exile in
Canada, where she has large prop
erty holdings, after spending some
time in Switzerland.
Meanwhile, Rumania's new die
tator, Gen. Ion Antonescu, moved
to consolidate his power by taking
over four cabinet posts and issuing
sweeping DEGREES providing inves-
legations of persons who became
wealthy under Carols 10 years of
power
Gen. Antonescu took the minis

the train to speed right through.

of so fired pistols and threw stones.
The fireman on the locomotive was
reported seriously wounded.
A number of the Iron Guardists
seized another locomotive and pur-
sued Carols train in the manner
of the old Western American movie

gineer with a pistol.
Others took taxicabs and tried to
beat the train to the town of JIM

The All-American Vegetables.

Seedsmen, colleges, government sta
tons and home gardeners have con-
tributed to the development of new
vegetables, few of which have been
selected this year for awards by the
All-American judges.
Leading the vegetable novelties for
1910 is bush lima bean named Baby
Potato. This silver medal winner is
a thick but small seeded lima or
butter bean. 1t grows like very
sturdy Henderson lima with flavor
like Fordhook. Unlike some others
it sets pods from early blooms.
The next silver medal winner is the
early yellow tomato, Mingold, de-
veloped at Minnesota Experiment sta
ton. With yellow tomatoes increas-
ing in popularity, this one should be-
come favorite. It is early, ripen-
ing with Bonnie Best, and has the
size and shape of Marglobe.
Deep Heart Fringed endive, another
silver medal winner, will appeal tc
salad lovers because of its broader
leaves and deeper hearts. The heart
is white instead of cream.
Evergreen parsley won honorable
mention and should replace the double
curled variety for it has heavy, dark
green foliage and is resistant to frost
injury.

Are We What We
Sometimes Think Z?

Too many times human beings will
lose their balance" in periods of sue
cess. They sometimes attach more
Importance to what they think they
are than what close analysis of
themselves would actually disclose.
One day, so story goes, man
with an unusual point of view called
at the office of a notable railroad
president He was met by the Sec
rotary and to her he addressed these
words:
II have called to make an intel
lectual contact with the head of this
corporation, not a personal contact.
His personality does not interest me
at this time, but the intelligence of
his position does. This being the case,
should like to talk to YOU"
The secretary was flattered by this
remark. 1t had never occurred to
her that she was a part of her en-
ployer's official intelligence, although
she was, like all good secretaries, an
essential part of her boss mind.
Men sometimes forget the official
mind is quite different from the per-
sonal mind, just as the official indi-
viduality is different from the per-
sonal individuality. Tragic conse-
quences often ensue from this for
getfulness.
A certain man was sales manager
of a great corporation. To him, in
his high position, flowed the best
promotional ideas that were generated
anywhere in the country. Every agent
with new idea to sell, thought first
of this company-not this man. His
job was to select and buy, not to
originate nor sell ideas.
He left the corporation, set up fol
himself and turned out to be dismal
failure, because he could neither
originate nor sell ideas
Policemen, judges and corporation
executives are outstanding examples
of official intelligences and personal
tiles. A ''cop" in uniform is an en-
tirely different person from a cop
retired and in plain clothes The uni
form is badge of sovereign power
and the. authority it bestows does
something to the man inside
A man should remember that he
is a part of an organization, not the
organization.
