Not So Strict With Austrians.

AuStiO- hungarian SUBJECTS III
the United States, most of the mil
lion or more of whom are laborers
and are loyal to the allied war
cause, will suffer few restrictions
as a result of war between the
lands of their birth and adoption.
III the proclamation declaring
state of war with Austria Hun
gary, i'll accordance with the act of
congress, President Wilson speci-
fed that unnaturalized Austro
Hungarians, unlike the Germans
in this country, should be free to
live and travel anywhere, except
that they may not enter or leave
the United States without permits
sion, and those suspected of enemy
activity may be interned.
They need not register with po-
lice or postoffice officials, as Ger
mans will be required to do short
ly, and are not barred from the
l00yard zones about the piers,
docks and warehouses closed to
Germans, and are not required to
leave the District of Columbia.
The Presidents motive in draw
ing distinction between Germans
and Ausirians was described as
twofold.
First, it was realized that the
sympathy of Hungarians, Ruman-
ians, Poles, Serbians, Czechs, Slo-
vacs and other immigrants from
the Austro- Hungarian empire, gen
orally are not with the mother
country in the war, and they have
not been guilty of the multiform
campaign of violence practiced I'm
der the German war system.
Second, such a large proportion
of laborers in munition and steel
plants and coal mines consists of
Austrian subjects that it was found
practically impossible to admins
ter against them the rigid regula
tons imposed on the Germans, who
are half as numerous and more in
dividualistic.
The department of justice even
abandoned its former plans to reg
lister Austrians along with the Ger
mans because of the immensely of
the task and the administration
determination to minimize embar-
rassment to Austrians, thousands
of whom have demonstrated their
loyalty to this country by enlisting
in the army and navy.
AS an indication of the Presi.
dents difference in feeling toward
subjects of the dual monarchy it
was pointed out that nowhere in
the proclamation did he use the
phrase alien enemies" as was
done in previous proclamations re-
ferring to Germans. Repeatedly he
referred only to natives, citizens,
denizens or subjects" of Austria
Hungary.

QUESTIONNAlRES BEING
MAILED EACH DAY.
A Number Have Already Been Filled
Out and Returned. Must Be Re-
turned Within Seven Days.

Monday noon questionnaires TO
the number of FIVE per cent of the
total number of registrants in the
county were sent out from the 10
cal draft board's Office. Five per
cent have been mailed each day
and in twenty days every registrant
in the county will have been mailed
a QUESTIONABLE. 1t was originally
intended to send out the first lot
last Saturday, but delay in getting
the agricultural page made it ne
cessary for Clerk w. d. Tyler to
wait till Monday before he was able
to do so.
Registrars SHOULD remember
that the QUESTIONABLE must be re-
turned to the office of the local draft
board within seven days from the
date of its mailing, which date is
placed at the top of the front page.

every town i'll the county, so that
it is not necessary for those living
outside of Hurley to come to Hur-

This will prevent delay, as other

another trip.
The questions are framed to draw
out every bit of information that
may be of value to the boards in
fixing the class to which man is
to be assigned. No detail of the
status of dependents, or of possible
or actual outside sources of income,
has been overlooked.

Vanishing Coal Beds
he Youths Companion.

From the I fouth'S Companion.
 Many coal beds in the great coal fields of the western states have at one time or another taken fire and burned for long periods, baking and reckoning the overlying strata so that they have be- come a kind of natural brick or terra cotta The fires were hot enough in places to fuse and recrystallize the over lying shale and sandstone so as to form natural slag. At some places the sag resembles true igneous rock; at others 1t consists largely of rare minerals.
 Thoroughly fused slag seems to occur chiefly in crevices or chimneys through which the hot gases generated by the burning coal escaped to the surface. The chimney shaped masses of slag are harder than the surrounding baked rock and, after that has weathered away, form the curious pinnacles that sur mount many clinker bluffs or buttes In the west.
 Some of the coal beds, especially those or the higher hills, were perhaps ig- nited by lightning; others were probably started by prairie fires or camp fires; but since burning at the surface has been so common as to affect most of the coal beds in an area of more than 100000 square miles. much of it has probably been due to spontaneous com busion. Coal beds are now burning at or near the surface in many places in the west. The fire is disclosed by the smoke and the fumes that rise from it, and by the heat at the surface ot the earth near the outcrop or above the bed--heat so intense that it kills all vege- tation.
 As the coal burns out the overlying rock or earth generally caves in, SC as to form large Assures in the ground. AS the fire works back from the out crop the heat acts on the overlying rocks, but finally combustion dies out for lack of oxygen. It is hard to say how far from the surface the fires may extend. Field studies of the United States geo. logical survey indicate that bed lying beneath 20 feet or less of cover may burn out completely under large areas, and even where the cover is several hun dred feet thick the burning may extend 500 feet back from the outcrop.

Circuit Court at Livingston Stops Long Enough to Pass Strong Patriotic
 Resolutions

Livingston, October 15.-(Special) ) Circuit court opened here today with Judge Henry B. Foster presiding and Solicitor M. T. Ormond in attendance to represent the state. The grand jury was organized and Henry L. Mellen ap pointed foreman.
 Judge Foster suspended business for a short while and allowed Hon. John A. Rogers to deliver a patriotic address urging the conservation of foods and the buying of liberty bonds. The court room was filled and every word spoken by MT. Rogers was heartily indorsed.
 Hon. w. w. Patton introduced the following resolution, which was en- enthusiastically and unanimously carried amid loud applause:
 Resolved That it is the sense of this assemblage that the reported utter ances of Senator LaFollette should be investigated by the United States Sem ate, and if found to be true, that he should be expelled from the Senate.

palate in which only the fabulous rich once indulged.
 This year the dressmakers realize that they cannot raise their prices much high CT than they have done during the last
 three years. If they do. they will face bankruptcy. Therefore, they had to have something new in order to lure those
 women who have a dangerous tendency
 to wear out their old clothes, for it is
 claimed that the rich are far more sav-
 ing since the war than the poor and middle class, because the latter, through larger industrial opportunities, are earn ing more money than they ever dreamed
 of doing.
 The Callot evening gown, which has
 stood as symbol of electric light ap-
 parel is still on it's pedestal, for the
 Callot sisters have paid far more atten- tion to selling interior house decorations and rare antiques this year than they
 have to designing new kinds of frocks.
 To the artist eye, their gowns for the evening are still the most beautiful in the world, but there is nothing new about them.
 The high-necked evening gown was in
 vented by those who wanted to make
 money. It will be adopted by fashionable women everywhere It is the delight of
 the dressmakers because it requires new
 treatment.
 MEDIAEVAL IN APPEARANCE It belongs to those sturdy days when women did not consider it necessary to
 uncover their figures in order to appear
 appropriately garbed for gaiety. It ia made of heavy satins and of rich tones of velvet.
 The frock. which is shown in this sketch, Is an admirable example of the new and startling departure in ceremonial ap- parel. It is in Chinese blue satin bro caded in blue, black and gray in a won derful, swirling pattern that catches the eye the moment the wearer enters the room. The yoke and long, tight sleeves are of black Chantilly lace. Over the top of the sleeves, standing out like bracelet. is a bandeau of pale gray satin. There is straight standing cuff of this satin, in the Italian fashion, and smaA bow of it in front

EXTRAYAGANT GOWNS

A few actresses paid as high as $500 apiece for these gowns of cloth of gold, ornate embroidery and crystals, thread lace and metallic tissues, but the average woman, even if she owned a house in Newport. or on Fifth avenue and coun- try estate on Long Island drew the line sharply and with protest against paying such price for any kind of apparel.
 With all the extravaganza with which women are credited in the buying of clothes, it is probable that few facts would prove that they are more econom- ical there than in any other realm of purchasing. They pay more for food each week than for clothes, and for food that is not necessary, but simply a lux ury. They indulge in motor cars, high priced chauffeurs, interior decorations and travel in a way that makes their purchases in clothes seem secondary and insignificant.
 There is very small segment of worn. en who sacrifice everything for their body covering and there is a vast seg- ment of women who sheer at those who are extravagant in dress. while they think nothing of buying the most costly food out of season and heaping the table with the extravagant temptations to the
