rhs Story of a Berlin shrsw and Her
Likeness In Stone.


The Story of Berlin shrew and Her
Likeness In Stone.
This quaint equivalent Of the Ger.
man term neidkopf is s-applied by trav.
elers to an enigy car - in stone and
fixed in a niche in the secoIsd story
Of a house in the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
In Berlin not far from the emperors
palace. The neidkopf represents a
hideous harpy faced woman with
snakelike curls and tongue protruding
in mocking derision.
One day some 200 years ago. the
legend runs. Frederick william OF
Prussia. more Familiarity known as
Old Fritz. was walking about the
streets Of the city IN the unconvention.
al way he affected when be chanced
to look through a window and observed
a hunchbacked goldsmith hard at
work. The king entered the little shop
for chat
The result of his interview was an
order for a gold table service for the
royal household. an order that made
the fortune of the hunchback. Later
bis majesty made other visits to the
shop to see how the work was advanc-
ing, and on one of these occasions he
observed woman in the window of
the opposite house comforting her face
in the most hideous grimaces and
pointing with derislve finger at the
crippled workman.
To the kings query as to what allied
the old woman the goldsmith replied
1T Is envy. sire. She is the wife of
a rival goldsmith. and ever since your
majesty so graciously gave me this
order she and her daughter have re-
viled me-"
Frederick William, paternal in pun
ishment as well as In reward, at once
investigated as to the ownership of
the house in which the shrew lived.
He found that 1t belonged to her hus-
band and therefore reasoned that there
was little likelihood of the family
moving. an idea that seemed greatly to
please bis majesty. His next move
was to consult a sculptor, whom be
commanded to make the bust of a
woman with the most shrewish, Kan
uppe-like face he could imagine. The
king then bought and renovated the
house in which the hunchback had his
workshop, presented it to him and
caused the bust to be placed conspicu-
ously above the workroom window.
Thus whenever the envious woman
across the street looked forth from her
easement the first object on which her
eyes fell was this intended portrait of
her amiable self.
For more than a hundred years the
neidkopt-splteful vixen head, as one
would say in English-stood in proud
prominence. a reproach to the envious
woman and her descendants. II after
ward mysteriously disappeared. but
In 1S40 or thereabouts 1t was found in
a forgotten collection Of bric-a-brac.
Frederick William ~. bought the bust
for a large price and had it replaced
in its original niche. where It stands
today.-New York Tribune.

ANTI-SUFFRAGE
MOVEMENT
STARTED

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON. June 4-charging that the
formation of the National woman's
Anti-sufrage Association is a political
trick. fostered by liberal members Of
Parliament. the suffragists organized
to-day. Premier AsQuhh himself is
coming in for large share of criticism.
The premier is accused by the suf-
fragettes OF not being sincere in his
promises of support and many OF them
openly charges him with being one OF
the prime movers in the new body.
Several liberal members. who are
friendly to Asouith but unfriendly 10
the suffragette movement. have been
quizzlng Asouith sharply in the last
few DAYS 10 know just low far the gov
ernment sympathized with the suf-
fragettes. These questions have ern-
barrassed Asquith, and though he is a
master at political fencing he has not
been able 20 give satisfactory answers.
The anti-suffrage movement has been
started. the suffragettes say to give
the premier the opportunity of turning
them down with the excuse that the
demand for suffrage Is not Of sufficient
extent TO warrant a constitutional
change at the present time.
Many prominent women have enlisted
in the anti-suffrage organization in
cluding the Marchioness Of Tweedale
Mrs. Humphrey Ward and the countess
Of Jersey. Lord Dunraven and Lord
Rothschild also signed their names TO
the circular which was issued to-day
setting forth the object Of the organi-
zEfon. The failure Of their sisters has
only urged the sunragcttes TO greater
effort. AMI another campaign Of street
parties has been arranged.

OREGON HOP ACREAGE.
Attempt 10 Organize Hop Growing
Industry Is q Failure.

Conrad Krebs is authority for the
statement that the Pacific Coast
Hopgrowers union is a failure and
he gives many facts and figures to ex-
plain the failure of the hop interests
to organize, says the Salem States
man. Mr.. Krebs says it is now a mat
ter of each growers padding his
own canoe" and the ultimate survival
of the fittest. He is one of the largest
growers and heaviest dealers in, hops
on the Pacific coast and has been sup
orting the movement of organization
at a great expense of time and money.
The following statement was given
to the press last night by Mr.. Krebs:
After three weeks or work, gath
ering statistics relative to the acre
age of hops in Oregon, we have se-
cured and .tabulated 26,152 acres of
hops, distributed among 1924 grow
ers. which is an average or about is
and one half acres per grower. We
believe that there are still about 500
acres which we have not secured,
making the total acreage of Dragon
probably $4,000 acres.
"The acreage of the growers who
have signed the bylaws or the Pacific
Coast Hopgrowers' union amouRts to
s112 acres. or "a AS per cent Of the
total acreage of the state, not count
ing the 900 acres which we haxe not
yet secured"
