ROAD WORKERS
GIVEN ''RAISE''

Increase in the wages of all men
working on the county roads was
granted by the county commissioners
at their session last Saturday.
A recent ruling of the state board
of accounts made it possible to in
crease the wages of certain employees
of the county on account OF the high
cost of living and as result, several
increases were granted.
Existing laws made it impossible to
grant an increase in wages to the men,
but It was possible to hire man at a
higher salary than the one previously
paid. The road supervisors and work
ers were asked to resign therefore,
and then were re-hired at an increased
salary.
The new scale Of salaries for the
road workers is as follows:
Assistant highway superintendents,
service, 25 cents an hour; service with
team, SO cents an hour; service with
two teams and extra driver, 80 cents
an hour.
Other employees, team and driver, 40
cents an hour; laborers, 25 cents an
hour.
By a special resolution. the salary
of NJ T. Fox. bridge inspector, was IN
creased to SO a day.

Its Last Trial In
Greece, Says Premier

ATHENS, Aug. PIN. Boussios, op
position member, raised a tumult in
the chamber when he declared that
King Constantine never abdicated but
only had been dismissed by the en-.
tente powers as proved by the fact
that the act Of abdication had not been
presented to the chamber.
Premier Venizelos and other depu.
ties left their seats to protect NJ. Bous-
sios from personal attacks by angry
members of the majority.
Later the possibility and opportune
ness Of establishing a republic in
Greece was discussed. M. Venizelos
declared:
Despite the weakening of the royal
power, through the fallen kings act
ions the government. interpreting the
feeling of the chamber. thinks another
trial should be given to the royal in
stitution in Greece. It is certainly
the last experiment we are asking.

jority representatives will approve sin
cerely the trial in order to make strong
and sure conditions for the eventual
working of the regime of a crowned
republic"

Wine Nearly Four
Hundred Years Old
Tasted by Experts

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Aug. q
Rhine wine nearly four centuries
old was submitted the other day to a
critical test of committee of connois-
seurs at Speyer, Germany.
In that ancient cathedral city there
is a wine museum" to which the
King of Bavaria has donated some
bottles, the contents of which date
back to the time of the Reformation
and the Thirty Years War. The SOL
emn business Of tasting these venera-
BILE vintages was carried out with due
decorum.
Some brands dating back to 1928,
1881. and 1910 were found to have lost
all bouquet. The committee of experts
afterwards proudly reported that they
had tasted wines Of five successive
centuries at one session; an unpre-
cedented feat, they say.
Doctor Bassermann-J Jordon, who pre-
sided, mentioned as an interesting
fact that the present method Of bot
ting wine is comparatively young; it
dates back to the end Of the eighteenth
century.
