WOMAN CLAIMED
TO Be CLEOPATRA
Delights Composer Strauss
With Beautiful Songs
ROUMANIAN SPOILS
Obtains Considerable Territory in the
Balkans Without Shedding Any
Blood-Friends Tipped Pro-
prietor and Viennese Lost
By EMIL ANDRAssY

Vienna, May pecial)-While tho
composer, Strauss, was sitting In his
music room a few days ago, playing over
some fugitive scores which he has con-
templated including in his next opera
a young, dark gypsy looking woman
burst in upon his reverie eXclaiming:
"I am your heroine. Yes, yes, | am
Cleopatra. The asp did not kill me at
ALL He simply sent me into deep, long
sleep and the noise of the guns near the
Nile awakened me- / heard some one
playing your Salome in the garden at the
hotel and it overjoyed me- 1 made up
my mind 1 would give you preference
over all other composers. See me! Am L
not beautiful? 1 am Egypt herself
At first Strauss was too amazed to
form any opinion of his visitor. When
he recovered his wits he was divided be-
tween the opinion that the young woman
had been drinking something stronger
than water or that she was an escaped
lunatic.
"And them" he says, telling the story,
''she sang Saint Lucy. What a voice
1t was delicious, ravishing, wonderful
What was it she sang? l could not give
a name to it. This was how | took 1t.
The great composer sat at his piano and
played an air more beautiful than his
gorgeous blue Danube" or the waltz in
'.Elektra." THAT is her Romanza," he
said And the GIRL" ] asked. Il have
had her put in a sanitar1um, said
Strauss Her mind has evidently become
weakened by long meditation over Egyp-
tian stories and her great love for music
One day she will be a great star

ADJUSTMENT BOARD
TO Be NAMED SOON
Action Will Probably Be
Taken at Tuesdays Meet
ing of Commission

At the Tuesday meeting of the city
commission 1t is probable that a board
of three men will be appointed to ad-
just the property assessments in the
suburbs Commissioner A. o. Lane said
yesterday that this matter had been
dragging along since the establishment
of Greater Birmingham and that the
time had arrived when it must and would
be Strengthened out
According to Commissioner Lane there
appears to be no trouble concerning the
assessments in Birmingham proper but
there are many complaints being received
from the suburbs. Commissioner Wealth
erly has been trying to handle these
complaints. but they have proven more
than he has time to attend to and so the
commission plans to settle the matter
for once and all.
The three men to be named will con-
sist of two real estate men and one of
the assistant city attorneys, it is stated.
These men will visit the suburbs and
place an assessment schedule upon every
disputed piece of property. 1t is said that

Lost the Wager

Inspired by film showing Row an arti-
san family got free meal by taking
sardine the only food in the house, and
inserting it in sweet omelette at the end
of a restaurant dinner for which they
had no means of paying, thus persuading
tn, restaurateur to avoid scandal by not
asking for payment, a young Viennese
made a bet with some friends that he
would win $3.50 in one evening by sim
liar trick.
He went to restaurant, ordered hash,
and discovered" a dirty rag in 1t. He de-
manded compensation, otherwise he would
create a scandal. Instead, however, of
getting money he was arrested, his
friends having won the bet by telephon-
ing to the restaurant information of the
intended trick.
The Vienna police have suspended the
film which suggested the trick on the
ground that it is an inctement to dis
honesty.

readiness for the racing season. The
Britannia is to be ready by lune TO- and
will be used for cruising. SIZE will also

bulwarks and new deckhouse will look
very similar TO the Britannia of old.
which so often carried the late King Ed
wards flat to victory. In addition to
new suit of sails and boom, the
Britannia is to have a new topmast, bow
spirit and spinnakerf boom. She is COM
manded by Capt j. II. Carter of Cowes,
son of Capt John Carter. who was her
skipper in her racing days. The Britannia
was built at Glasgow in 1898, her designer
being the late Mr.. G. J.. Watson, eele-
brated builder of boats.

Conversation for ROumania

The text of the agreement between
Bulgaria and Roumana, who demanded
territorial 'compensation' for leaving
Bulgaria free to deal with Turkey alone
in the war, is published in telegram
from Bucharest.
Roumania obtains the Bulgarian frontier
town of Silistria and all its Notifications,
together with all the land within nearly
two miles of the forts. In addition, Rou-
mania receives a considerable strip of
territory from Pofina, on the River Dan
ube, to the Black sea at Cape Saba.
Thus, in the general redistribution of ter.
ritory in the Balkans Roumania secures
valuable increases without the loss of
single life.

in Spain" It is hard to think of two
more illuminative instances of the para
