The bright red flowers will be worn in memory of Veterans of World Wars I and 11, and the proceeds will be used for the work of the auxiliary among disabled veterans, ex-service men and their families. The blossoms will be sold by Girl and Boy Scouts and high school girls and boys from St. Frances academy. A prize will be awarded the girl or boy selling the most poppies.

The American Legion Memorial hall will be the headquarters. The custom of wearing poppies in memory of the first World War dead sprang up spontaneously in many parts of the world soon after the close of the war in 1917-18, inspired bv the Doem. "In Flanders' Field." composed by Colonel John McCrae.1 The first wearing of the popphes in America took place in New York two days before the signing of the Armistice. The poppy was adopted as the memorial flower of the American Legion in 1920 in memory of their fallen comrades; similar action' was taken by the American Le- Pehnuts 220 RtOKlCR pn.151 ELASTIC HOSIERY Belts and Trusses.

Chinese guerrillas who have been operating behind the Japanese lines have occupied Sypinaw pass, it was announced.

American airmen of the 14th Air Force, supreme in the skies in China's Yunnan province, are giving Chinese troops strong support in their drive and played an important role in the capture of the town of Tatangtzu southeast of strategic Mamien pass. Lt. Gen. Joseph V. Stilwell's headquarters said American fighter bombers had subjected targets in the Mengta area to continual daylight pounding and that P-40 Warhawks gave direct aid to the thrust by Chinese troops who are smashing forward in a westward drive aimed at a junction with Stilwell's ground forces in Northern Burma.

The bulletin added that the bridge at Lashio, 110 miles northeast of Mandalay, on the Burma road, was destroyed by two direct hits from Mitchells, while another formation of fighter-bombers took 40 feet from the center of the Tingka bridge near Mangshih with one direct hit.

Avery Sues Field For $1,000,000 Chicago. UP) Sewell L. Avery, chairman of Montgomery Ward and company. Thursday sued Marshall Field, publisher of the Chicago Sun, for $1,000,000, alleging Field "maliciously published untrue, false and defamatory statements" about Avery and his business. A federal court suit alleged Avery was libelled in articles written by Thomas F.

Reynolds and Charles O. Gridley of the Sun's Washington bureau. Avcrys complaint stated the Sun "acclaimed the action of the administration and violently attacked" Avery for seeking to "protect and defend the property of the (Montgomery Ward) company from unlawful seizure" by the federal government April 26. Control of the mail order concerns Chicago property was returned to the management on May 9. The suit alleged Field publicly announced his intention of publishing a series of articles in the Sun "for the purpose and with the intent of carrying on a campaign smear Avery and hold him up to public hatred and contempt." When asked if he had any comment, Field said: "I think the people are entitled to know why the government was eventually driven to taking action."
