V.E. W, READY FOR B POPPY DRIVE Flowers to Be Sold Prior to Memorial Day Kansas City, April 26 —First among veteran organizations to ~on- duet a nation-wide popy sale and the first organization to conceive the poliey of having poppies made ex- clusively by disabled veterans, plans ure practically completed for the eighth annual distribution of “buddy poppies” during the week prior to Memorial Day, May 30, 1929, by the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U. 8 “The Flanders poppy first came into prominence as a symbol of sac- rifice through its association with the experiences of the men who served overseas in the World war. The movement to make the poppy America’s memorial flower was sponsored by the Veterans of For- eign Wars of the U in -922." de- clares R. B. Handy, Jr., chairman of the mational buddy poppy commit- tee in a statement released from headquarters here. Prior to that time artificial pop- pies made in France had been brought to this country and sold but the proceeds were used for the wel- fare of French orphans. In 1922 the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U. S adoptéd the slogan, “Honor the Dead by Helping the Living,” and conducted the first national poppy sale as a source of relief funds in connection with our rehabilitation yrogram (or disabled men and their families." “In 1923 we decided that all pop- pies saold by the V. I. W. would henceforth be the handwork of dis- ©bled veterans, who would thus be provided with employment and a chance to help themselves. In line with this plan we established a ‘Buddy Poppy Factory,' the first of its kind, at Pittsburgh, Pa.. manned throughout by men who were maimed or disabled as a result of | their service. “The idea proved so practical it riet with the instant approval of Ceneral Frank T. Hines, director of the U. 8. Veterans' Bureau and the work was extended to the various zovernment hospitals throughout the country. Hospital authoritics imme- iately recognized the benefits de- ved hy the men, cspecially those :ceiving occupational therapy treat- nt for nervous and mental dis- ‘Since 19 Handy's statement continues, “the president of ihe | I'nited States has given his endorse- ment of the poppy sale conducted hy the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the U. 8., voicing his approval of the V 1. W. poppy program as a distinct | patriotic service in the care and wel- fare of the disabled and their de- | pendents.” City Advertisement ACCEPTANCE OF STREET Clerk's office City of New Britain, Conn., April 25, 1929. ‘To whom it may concern: Notice is hereby given that the Board of Compensation and Assess- ment of the City of New Britain, has made the following appraise- ment and award of damages and as- sessment of special benefits or bet- terments, caused by the acceptarce of Sterling Street, trom Corbin Av- enue west to Peshing Avenue and establishment of strect and grade lines thereon, viz sterling Street North Side Damages Benetits Salvatore and Nellie Girgina .... vee Francesco Polito .

Attest. | stat ’ “Shortly after the world war” Handy's statement points out, “other \veteran organizations proposed otner flowers to symbolize America's tri- bute to its world war dead. But the quaint little poppy of Flanders fame had too great a hold on public senti- ment. As a result ,attempts to popu- larize other blossoms were aban- doned and today the poppy stands | alone as America’s memorial flower. “The poppies distributed by the V. F. W. were named by the dis- abled men themselves as ‘buddy poppies.’ This is the name that has been registered as a trade-mark since 1923 and when it appears on | the green copyright lagel attached to each buddy poppy the purchaser knows beyond doubt that the littde flower in his label, breathing the spirit of sacrifice and service, was fashioned by a disabled veteran.” Questiong and > 8 i one” in golf if you drove the ball to the rim of the cup in & single stroke?

The present fashion of bob- bing the hair of women is but a recrudescense of a style that had its birth many centuries ago. It is portrayed in the frescoes left by the ancient Greeks and Egyptians. Jrene Castle, the dancer, is probably re sponsible for introducing the fashion |among women of today Q. What makes mountains look blue when you sce them at a dis- tance? . It is due to the breaking up of light as it passes through the bank of atmosphere intervening be- tween the spectator and the moun- | {tain. There always are particles of | dust, watetr vapor and other foreign substances floating in air, and these break up the white light and give | the apparent ‘blue color. just as in |looking at the sky it also appe: to be blue. When close to the mountain, there is less atmosphere between it and the obscrver and con- sequently less interference with light rays, therefore the hazy appearance is less accentuated. Q.
