PATRICIA TAKING PASSENGERS FROM GRAF WALDERSEE Leviathan Also Stands by Former German Liner, Rammed Off Sandy Hook; Vessel May Remain Afloat; Argen tina and the Yank ec Also Collide New York, June 12.—A wireless message received early this morning said the steamship, Patricia, was taking off the passengers and crew of the Graf Waldersee, rammed by the steamship Redondo, thirty-eight miles east of Sandy Hook shortly before midnight. The engine room and fire room oft the former German liner were flooded, but the message said it was believed she would re main afloat and a request was made that tugs be sent to her assistance. An earlier message said the Graf Waldersee had six feet of water in her engine room. The Leviathan is also standing by The Graf Waldersee, which sailed at six o'clock last night for Brest. No details of the damage are given. The Redondo, operated by the Unit ed States Shipping Board, was bound for New York, having sailed from Cette, France, on May 28.

THIS FLOWER ENTICES TINY INSECTS TO THEIR DEATH Natural History Society Is Exliibiting Plants Which May Suffer Fatal Attacks of Indigestion The Harrisburg Natural History Society is exhibiting an interesting collection of wild flowers in the win dow of Potts' drug store, 1100 North Third street. Probably tho most in teresting is the round leaved Sun- Dew. Here is a bloodthirsty little plant that actually devours animal life. Nothing could be more inno cent looking than this tiny plant, its leaves glistening with what looks like dew. A little fly or gnat, at tracted by the bright jewels, alights on a leaf only to find that the clear drops, more sticky than honey, in stantly glue his feet, that the pretty reddish hair about him act like ten tacles, reaching inward to Imprison htm with their slowly closing em brace. Here is one of the horrors of the Inquisition operating in this land of liberty before our very eyes Excited by the struggles of the vic tim, the sensitive haJrs close only the faster. Slowly, surely, the leaf rolls Inward, making a temporary stomach. And now the leafs orgie begins: moistening the fly with a fresh peptic fluid, which helps in the assimilation the plant proceeds to digest its food. Curiously enough chemical analysis proves that this sundew secretes a fluid correspond ing almost exactly to the gastric juice in the stomach of animals. Darwin experimented with these Brest last night she carried nine army passengers and one represent ing the navy. Prior to the war the Graf Walder see was one of the .flagships of the Hamburg-American line. In 1915 she figured in a collision, when she sank the steamship Norge in the Elbe river. She was taken over by the United States Navy as a trans port on March 31 and arrived in New York with her first comple ment of returning troops on April 20. New York, June 12.—The Italian steamship, Argentina, collided with the steamship Yankee operated by the United States Shipping Board, off Fire Island light late last night. The Yankee was reported to be leak ing so badly that she was abandoned by her captain and crew, who were taken aboard the Argentina, which is standing by. The Yankee is a 2,418 ton vessel, 296 feet long and 40 feet wide. She was built for the United States Shipping Board in Cleveland in 1918. The Yankee tailed from Newport News for New York on June 6. LABOR XOTES After over 7000 woolen workers had returned to work in the mills in Pas saic, N. J„ believing that all their demands had been granted, they dis covered that some of their leaders had been discharged, whereupon they immediately quit work again. Female clothing workers in the mills located in Vineland, N. J., nave agreed on new terms with the em ployers which give them an increase of $2 per week. Rubber tire workers in Fort Madi son, lowa, have formed an organiza tion which promises to increase their wages and improve working condi tions. The failure of Congress to provide funds has made it necessary to reduce the force of tne United States Em ployment Service over 80 per cent.

They are unusually tranu, because the Pennsylvania State Department of Health feels that the only way of making the lesson last is to call things by their right names and show things as they occur in life. It is true the contrast between the girl who goes right and achieves an lion t t able career* because she was proper ly warned, and the girl who becomes a physical and moral wreck, are vivid to the point of brutal intensity. WAR PICTURE DISPLAY Considerable interest has been shown bw passersby in the showing of official war pictures now being displayed in the window of The Globe. These pictures were taken by the Signal Corps of the United States Army from low-flying air planes and observation balloons. Many of the pictures depict scenes in the Argonne drive and aside from their value as illustrating some real war scenes, give a real insight into the character of tho fighting.
