AUSTRIA CRIES
FOR EARLY PEACE

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 25.-An Aus
tri which is literally crying for peace,
which has discarded any thought of
territorial expansion, and is even will
ing to buy its way out of the war by
territorial sacrifices on the Italian
front and in Galicia; an Austria of
frequent food riots, unable to last
through another winter of war; an
Austria whose population would rise
in revolution if any reasonable peace
offer were rejected by the govern
ment, is pictured by an intelligent
Austrian who has arrived here from
Vienna. In long talk with the cor
respondent today he told story
which though perhaps unduly pessi-
mistic. explains the persistence of
Count Czernin, Austro-Hungarian for
eign minister, and of Emperor Charles
in returning again and again to the
subject of peace negotiations.
This Austrian, who spent several
days in Berlin on his way to Copen-
hagen, had an opportunity to talk with
representatives of the German foreign
office, and he said that all the men
he talked with were convinced peace
was coming before winter

PRICES ON HOGS
GO DOWN $3.50

INDIANAPOLIS, Aug. "a. - Hog
prices broke $3.50 a hundred pounds
at the opening OF the Indianapolis
market today, recording the greatest
decline in the same length of time
known here.
Local commission men say they do
not remember so great a break any
place else. Sales in the local yards
were at $3.50 to $3.50, compared
with $40 on Tuesday Fresh receipts
at the local yards were 1900 with
holdovers from Thursdays market
numbering 1900.
Dealers said they could not account
for the great slump except that the
price had gone above what the buyer
would pay because of lack of demand
for pork.

SKIRT
 HELD CAUSE
 FOR DIVORCE

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Thursday, Feb. S.-Short skirts or short kind ness-which is the better reason for divorce?
 The circuit court here has decided skirt two inches above the boot top is cause for divorce, and on this basis has freed William P. Cuff from his pretty, blithesome, 20 year old wife.
 But Mrs. Cuff protests the divorce should have been granted to her on the short kindess, she says her hus- band bestowed upon her.
 "If my skirts were as short as my husbands kindness, he might have some cause for complaint" she says.
 Cuff is 46 and married four years ago, when Mrs. Cuff was 16. The couple has two children, William, 3, and Marion, 2.
 "Mine was another tragedy of an early marriage" Mrs. Cuff says. "My parents live on a ranch in the West, and sent me here to be educat- ed. ran away from school to marry.
 "I wore a short skirt because had to support myself by going on tFe stage"

COLD WEATHER OLD AS HISTORY
 DOPE FOR THE INDOOR" MUSHER

frozen chunks, and by weight instead of by liquid measure.
 In l46S northern Germany suffered from extremely cold weather during the month of November. In the year 1903 the ice on the river Pc in Italy was strong enough for the papal ar tillery to travel on. In 1855 the Zui- der Zee in Holland was completely frozen over, and safe for horse to cross.
 So far as the countries around the Baltic sea were concerned, the win ter of 1878 must have been record breaker, as it is said that the Thurs day before Whitsuntide people travel de from Reval to Sweden with horses and Sleds across the ice bound sea.
 In 1896 the ice on the rivers Seine and Rhone was strong enough for all kinds of traffic. In 1909 the city of MarseilleS, France, suffered a famine, the harbor being frozen over and com munication consequently shut off. In 1921 the Adriatic sea was frozen over.
 In 1886 the Baltic sea was again completely frozen over, and people crossed it on the ice. In 1639 Mar Seilles was again ice bound and the population again suffered famine, accompanied by a great lack of fuel.
 In 1858 the Swedish army under command of Charles the Tenth cross ed the Little Belt on the ice: In 1885 the Adriatic sea was again frozen over.
 In IT'S the ice on the Thames was again so strong that houses could be built on it. So far as 1 can find out, history does not state if land rent was collected for them, and if so, by whom.
 In 1872 all crops in Norway froze from the coast to the interior, and on the 2lst of June people froze to death.
 In 1874 the Thames closed again, the city of London being completely enveloped in black fog, apd all places of amusement closed
 In 1867 all grain and potatoes and also other crops in Finland were com pletely destroyed by a frost and a severe famine ensued.-(Citizen.)

GRAFT BASKETBALL ON FOX TROT, ITS
 BAL A LA DANCE''

Basketball grafted on the fox trot!
 It's the newest confection in the dance world, originated and perfected by Mir. and Mrs. Hamilton Douglas, of Seattle.
 Bal a la Dance," they call it.
 An entirely new slant has been given the dance by this ballroom burbanking stunt.
 Athletics have been set to rythm.
 The game is played by four parti- cipants to the strains of the fox trot, hesitation or one-step, with penalties for failure to keep perfect step.
 Clumsy feet become the nimblest kind of twinklers under the excite ment of the play, say the originators who have copyrighted the "Bal a Ia Dance"
 "The idea," explained Mrs. Doug las. "is to encourage the dancers feet to take care of themselves while ms mind is occupied with something else to take the mind completely off the feet.
 "Unconsciously this improves the sense of rhythm"
 Goals are placed at the ends of the hall. The ball is carried back and forth, passed from hand to hand or bounced along the foor-all to the llt of seductive musice. Basketball rules are closely followed.
 There's only one drawback to the "Bal a la Dance" It doesn't permit a fellow to whisper sweet nothings into his lady's pretty ear during the encounter! For each dancer must dance alone!
