May l S. Many French brides of American sol diers are taking wings back to Hiinny France, according to the April records of the local pass jiort oi l ice. "Presumably they ar" g'lin back to visit." said Thomas Slls. deputy clerk of the I'nited States court in charge of passports here. "At least that is the reason most ir cniently assigned o:i applica tions." And Swedes .o Swedish girls, too, are making th pilgrimage to the land oi their birth. In fact, the number of women of all nationalities now applying at Chicago for return to Kurope decidedly exceeds that of thi men. American school teach ers are also swelling the flow to foreign shores. The heira to Sweden thinks Mr. Sells, is largely traceable to the handsome wages paid domes tics during 1920. which give them fimds sufficient for the trip Hut by far the largest number of passports now being Issued herp have Cermany as destination."' Mr. Sells aaid. "Since we ar till technically at war with Ger many, however. he po nted out, ' passports cannot be issued to Germany from this office. Invar iably though, the applicants for German passports come to us first, and in this-way we know approximately the number of peo ple going there. We send thorn, of course. , to the local Swiss con sul, who has charge of German af fairs pending the declaration oi peace; he issues th passports without further formality. ' ItHntives Are Sought The flow toward Germany is largely women, who are return ing to visit relatives or seek them in case th?y have not been heard from. Very few men are returning- practically none on business missions. Passports to Toland are being issued only in cases of extreme necessity, and no passports what ever are bins issued for soviet Russia The daily grist at the Chicagc jjaasportr office averages now 6.' as against 25 last January. Th!f office is the second largest dls nenser of passports in the country, Mr. Sells said. Salem is exposed to grav unnec essary fire datiKers, and that it U inadequately protected. It is ob vious that, i this condition con tinues. sooner or later the price will he paid for th' neglect anc we sincerely hope little time will he lost jn acting upon our recom mendations, in order that the ser ions fire may be prevented, thf property of the city conserved and the lives of its citizens safs guarded." NEW PACKING COMPANY READY FOR OPERATION (Continued from page 1 ) fruits as they ripen. Financial Arrangements Math Con tract h have been made fot the season's supply of cans, and financial arrangements have been I made, it is understood, to tak I care of the picklriir. delivery and packing costs. Only a tentative estimate can as yet be made of the quantity of fruit to be put up this year, but with tiie fac tory extensions already made, and the selling arrangements that are being perfected, it is given out by the company that the company will look after every pound of mem bership fruit, however much it may be. This will he a very large quantity, from the entire lfi4 members, some of them among the bit'-geKt fruit producers of the valley. Manager Kurtz, who will have active charge of the plant, re turned from Portland Saturday nitht. to say that the plant will tie ready to can? for its offerings when they are ready. Me is alto gether optimistic over the pros pects for the season's business, though he had little for publica tion at this time. Other ( onrprtw Similar The company is incorporated for $125,000. and has a stock holders backing to make it a mil lion dollar corporation. Tho of ficers are: .. T. Reynolds, pres Ident; William Hickman, vice president; Frank Ulbson. secre tary and treasurer. These three, with K. 11 Kugil. U I Cihsou. H. It Page and T. S. McKerizie. form the directorate. It is interesting lo note at 'th.it least nine other similar coopera tive, canning corporations, organ ized n precisely the same plan, aie being formed in (his part ot Oregon. The Silverton plant is being reorganized with l.'lu stock holders, on a $100,000 capitaliza tion Practically all the stock for the Dallas company has been sub Kcrihed: and others are coming along at a rapid rate. While thev ate in no sense interdejenden. their plan of operation is such as to make them potential business allies who can help each other in every branch of sales, purchases and experience. They are all be ing predicated on the theory that in order to Insure absolutely the handling of their perishable prod ucts at tbe time when they must SUNDAY MORNING, MAY 29, 1021 be handled, or lost as seems to be the si t nation In perishable fruits today- they must prepare to put their stuff Into some form that will enable it to be stored indefinitely, as in cans or cartons. I 'rice Not Announced No announcement of prices for fruit has been made, or intimated; (hough under the producers' co operative plan, they do not bu fruit direct, but plan to finance their own business with their own credit, and get their pay out ot the ultimate market. This pay tiie subscribers have believed will bo such as to warrant their fii t husiastic cooperation. BURST OF SPEED SHOWN BY GEORGES (Continued from page 1) Then the challenger went to work himsr'Jf and displayed his flying knockout punch from a new angle and when preparing to launch this blow CarnentiPr as sumed a ha'f crouch. In this po sition h appeared to ke?p hie body as far away 'rom his oppon ent's as possible and reached out with his punches. From the half crouch George. went almost to full bend, then hurled himself upward with an overhand right. Recovering, h? used an uppercut! Three rounds over.

May -1 Jack Dempsey was cut over the left ey during a furious mixup with Jack Renault in the fourth round of his workout today, and the injury may force the cham pion to suspend his boxing: tomor row. The acclde.it occurred when he forced Renault Into a cornei and their heads collided attjr DempF."y hid mixed a right hard swing. Jack Kearns, Pempsey's mana ger, wanted, to call a halt in im boxing, but Dempscy assured him that It was not r.rious and plead ed ro go another round. He fin ished with a tame three-minute csion with Io JIouck. Dcmp- sey boxed the first two rounds with Larry Williams, and tho. third and fourth with Renault. In the Mrst round tho cut over Wil liams eye was re-opened when f-mosey crashed over a larga hook.

A blis tering sun beating down on tnc arena made the canvas rover. n so hot that Pempsey blistered his feet yesterday, bo today he taped them. Man Killed by Blast Was James Scanlon It became known yesterday that the man who was killed near Halls Ferry while blasting Uurnps Wednesday, and whose body was found Friday night by neighbors who had missed him, was .lames Scanlon, a man be tween 50 and 60 years old. Scanlon was seen Wednesday afternoon blasting stumps on his farm and then was missed. He lived alone. Neighbors began the search. Indications were that a iharge of dynamite had thrown ins iioay anout lb icet rrom the point of explosion. Scanlon had lived in the neigh borhood 25 or 30 years and was highly respected by his neighbors. No trace of relatives has been found. It Is believed he had a brother in one of the Dakotas from mwhom he had not heard In many years, and he had mention ed a sister in Cincinnati. He was i Canadian by birth.
