READY-MADE CIGARET
MUST GO IN FORESTS
MISSOULA, Mont., July 14 (by As
sociated Press).—The ready made cig
arette is banned, and those who de
sire to may smoke only the “makin:s”
in the national forest near here this
year. That is the ruling which the
forest service headquarters of Dis
trict One here has sent out to all for
est service workers. It is contended
that the long burning “butt” of a man
» ufactured cigarette is a marked fire
hazard, wrhile the smokes of those who
“roll their own” are not.
A ' ICAN CLUB
IN BUENOS AIRES
BUENOS AIRES, July 14 (by Asso
ciated Press)).—The American Club
here of nearly 300 members is trying
to lease or buy a home in order to ful
fill a long felt want for an American
social center in the Argentine capi
tal. There are a number of English
clubs to which some Americans be
long, but there is no place where
Americans can get together and “talk
freely” as one of the promoters put
*it.
The board of governors point out
that if it is to be a real American
club it must be “the best,” which
means a good deal in this city of fash
ionable clubs, among them a lux
urious German club. The organiza
tion has a “nest egg” of $20,000 to be
gin with.
It is proposed to admit women to
privileges and make the club a cen
ter of all American patriotic activities
there. The American club at present
holds a weekly luncheon at a hotel
when the members listen to addresses
by prominent visitors or Argentines.

PICTURE BRIDE
PRACTICE NOT
DISCONTINUED
SACRAMENTO, July 14 (by Associ
ated Press).—Charges that the Japa
nese are preparing to continue ir
other forms the picture bride practice
were made before the congressional
investigating committee by V. S. Me
Clatchy, publisher of the Sacramentc
Bee. One of the forms, he said, was
that of bringing into the country
adopted children, and then, after di
vorce, the child becomes the wife oi
the adopted father.
ALIENSFOMENT
HIST TROUBE
SOUTH AMERICA
•
RIO DE JANIERO, July 14 (by As
sociated Press).—President Pessoa in
a message to the national congress
i has just denounced alien radical agi
j tators who during the past few
; months “attempted to promote indus
trial strikes for their own ends and
to destroy the existing social order.”
Police investigations showed, he said,
that the principal agents of these
strikes were aliens and that they
counselled inhuman and barbarous
means, such as the use of bombs, to
gain their ends. The president urged
that congress should arm the govern
ment with laws of defense against
these elements. Te recommended
that the project now before congress
regulating the entry of aliens into
national territory be promptly pass
ed into law, also the bill relating to
anarchistic crimes.
KILANEA VOLCANO IS
AGAIN SPURTING LAVA
HILO, Island of Hawaii, July 14 (by
Associated Press).—Immense foun
tains of molten lava have been play
ing recently in the glowing fire of
Kilauea volcano near here.
1 The liquid area of the lake has
shrunk a little of late owing to the
formation of “spatter ramparts” and
new floors, but it still occupies a con
siderable portion of the pit which is
about 1200 by 1400 feet in its two dia
meters.
The lava flows on the Kau desert,
about seven miles from the main crat
er, which broke out during December,
1919, and is still active.
MEXICAN SPRING WATER
IS PEDDLED AS HOOTCH
NOGALES, Ariz., July 14 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Tequila, a Mexican in
toxicant made from cactus, is a color
less liquid like gin or water. It is
sold by bootleggers on this side of the
i border under the trade name of “So
nora water.” It is smuggled in main
ly from Nogales.
Several persons have recently made
complaints to the Nogales Arizona
police that they had been “swindled”
by bootleggers. The chief found that
enterprising supposed bootleggers
have been bottling and selling the act
ual water of Sonora springs and lab
eling the bottles “Sonora water.”
1 DELEGATES AMERICAN
LEGION CONVENTION
BE IN CIVILIAN GARB
CLEVELAND, O., July 14 (by Asso
ciated Press).—In contrast to the
khaki which all were wearing two
years ago, the 3,000 delegates to the
second national convention of the
American Legion here in September
will march in civilian garb. All for
mer service men here at the time of
the convention will be a'sked to par
ticipate in the procession.
Delegates from all over the United
States, Cuba, the Philippines, Haw
aii, Mexico, Canada, England, France
and Belgium, representing a member
ship of more than 1,500,000 veterans
of the world war are expected.
One difference between a June
bride and a December bride is that
a June bride doesn’t have to begin
married life by attending to a furnace.
It will be impossible to spring any
third party this'^year that will not
make even more certain the position
of the Republican as the first party.

AIR SCOUT ZOI
BEEN EXTENDED
IN CALIFORNIA
LOS ANGELES, Cal., July 14 (by
Associated Press).—So successful has
the patrol by airplane of the national
reserves in Southern Colifornia prov
en to the government that the giant
machine, operating from March Field,
near Riverside has been assigned the
task of making a daily circle tour
covering approximately 400 miles. Un
der the new assignment the air scout
zone has been extended greatly both
to the north and to the south of the
operating base.
Flying as far south as San Diego
j and reaching to the north as far as
Santa Maria, the scout patrol keeps
an ever watchful eye on the forests
in the government domain. By means
of wireless equipment any blaze on
the hillside is located by its tell
tale smoke, reported to the nearest
station by means of wireless tele
graph and its career promptly ended
by rangers who rush to the location
! in automobiles.
To make the service more effective
a private landing stage has,been con
structed at Santa Barbara for the use
of the patrol plane and a complete
radio station has been installed there.
On its northbound trip the plane
: covers the west end of the Angeles
and all of the Santa Barbara nation
! al reserve. On its southward flight
i from March Field to San Diego the
! east end of the Angeles range and all
/ of Cleveland Pass come under the
gaze of the trained observers.
Since the adoption of the “‘bird’s
eye” method of detection and report
ing forest fires more than half a
dozen small but menacing fires have
been detected, their location flashed
to the radio station and their destruc
tive paths effectively blocked.

WAR PRISONERS
EXPATRIATED
FROM FRANCE
PARIS, July 14 (by Associated
Press).—The last prisoners of war in
French hands being remnants of the
Russian expeditionary force that land
ed at Marseilles, acclaimed by enthu
siastic throngs, in 1917, are being ex
patriated as fast as the slow progress
of negotiations with the Bolshevik
will allow.
About 5,000 of them remained in
terned after all other prisoners, in
cluding the Germans, had been sent
home. Coming as allies and partici
pating in some of the fierce fighting
along the Aisne, the Russians were
deeply impressed by the revolution in
their country; discipline suffered un
til finally revolt and mutiny broke
out in the ranks, reauiring severe
measures.
The contingent never agin parti
cipated in military operations. The
men were used for a time in road re
pairing but the results were unsatis
factory. They are being exchanged
for French soldiers taken by the
Soviet forces on the Archangel front.
A1 Forsyth and Jack Lund consti
tuted a searching party which left
Juneau last'week to hunt for the
Sparks family of four who had been
missing for two days. The Sparks
family left Juneau in a frail craft, en
route to Bear creek, with the inten
tion of returning in a couple of days,
but no word has been heard of them
and their relatives are greatly wor
ried for fear an accident may have
befallen the party.
