French Are Keeping Up Their Often
sive In Arras Sector, While ltal-
ians Have Occupied Twice the
Territory offered by Austria.

The strongly fortified Galician town
of Grodek, where it was predicted the
Russians would make a stubborn
stand, has fallen before the Austro-
German assault, according to an Aus
trian official statement; the River
Tanew. believed to be another strong
barrier, has been crossed; Komarno,
only few miles south of Grodek, has
been taken and the Austro-German
forces are within less than a days
march of Lemberg, the capital of Ga
licia.
These claims were forecast in the
German official statement from Ber-
lin, which preceded that from Vienna.
The Berlin statement asserted that
the Grodek positions were being at
tackled, the Russians to the north re-
treating as far as the Tanew line.
The Austrians subsequently record
ed the fall of Grodek and claimed that
the south bank of the Tanew had been
cleared of Russians.
The French are keeping up their Of
fensive in the Arras sector, and the
British again have attacked the Ger
man positions around Hooge, gaining
considerable stretch of trenches
which, according to the latest advices,
they are holding. OF this gain the
German official statement makes no
mention.
The Italian invasion Of Austria,
which is being pushed all along the
frontier, is said by newspapers of
Rome to have resulted thus far in the
occupation of more than twice as
much territory as was offered by Aus
tria as the price of Italy's neutrality

DAY OF NOISE IS PASSING
W Seem to Be on the Eve OF a Popv-

Soft Pedal"

Director Ziegler, in his latest health
Oulletin, recommends soft pedal"
week, in which the extant strict in
functions against extraordinary and
futile noises shall be honored in tho
observance. A great many persons,
III or we'll, fervently pray that the
soft pedal" on the city's strepitant
racket may be applied, not merely for
Q week, but for all time.
We are on the eve Of a popular rev.
olution against noise. Tolerance has
ceased to be virtue. A little while
ago lone protestants here and there
we're looked upon as harmless cranks.
Societies for the propagation of un.
necessary noises flourished like the
green bay tree, and the thought Of
trespass on a mans repose as an IN.
d1ctable offense. like trespass upon
any other property. was secuted al
absurd. The educated and sober sec.
ond thought of the public is now di.
rected against the wanton depreda.
lions on nocturnal peace committed
by thoughtless motorists, by peddlers
and vendors, by those who deliver milk
or newspapers or other wares at an
early hour from house to house.
A fortune, in dollars and in human
gratitude alike, awaits the inventor
who shall obliterate the slam-bang Of

EXERCISE MAKING FOR GRACE
Even the Ordinary Household Task Of
Sweeping May Be Turned to
Advantage.

All forms Of directed exercise
make for grace, asserts writer in
the Woman's Home Companion. A
woman who wishes to be beautiful
in the use Of her body should learn to
dance, swim and above all, to use
her muscles we'll in the ordinary &C.
tons of life. When you are stopping
to dust the rounds of chair, do not
bend over rigidly from the waist, but
bend your knees, slightly, and fex the
whole body toward the point where
your hand is. When you sweep, grasp
the handle of the broom firmly, step
briskly and accurately in it's path as
you sweep, and be careful to hold up
your shoulders. No sport in the world
has more beneficial effect upon Won.
anly grace than the prosaic work Of
sweeping.
Never loll in a chair. If you wish
to rest, lie back in it, pressing your
back firmly against the support, re.
laxing your hands and finding q com.
Portable place for your head When
you sleep, stretch your limbs out fully
and lie down-that is, lie so that you
actually feel the support OF the bed
beneath you. This method will relax
your muscles.
