Ancient Czecho-S Iovaks.

The Czechs ere an ancient race.
They were flourishing in Bohemia
away back in the fifth century before
Christ, and they have always been
noted for their progressive spirit, for
their longings in the direction OF lib
eralism and democracy, and above all
for their industrial and commercial
enterprise. thanks to which they have
been for the past 400 years the eco
nomic backbone Of the Hapsburg mon
archy.
They were Independent, and there
fore u~nfettered, until they foolishly
elected Emperor Ferdinand Of Aus
tria as their ruler in 1920, not only
because he was married to the daugh-
ter and heiress Of st. Wenceslaus, but
also because he solemnly pledged him
self to respect their national rights and
liberties. Needless to add that Ferdi-
nand I failed 10 keep his promises.
This Is a popularity Of the house OF
Hapsburg, which Is at last to bring
ruin upon their empire.

Edible Fish In eosporus.

DIR. William w. Peet. who recently
returned to the United States from
Turkey, says that there are so va
rieties of edible fish in the Bosporus.
During normal times great ~wagonloads
Of these fish were carried through
Constantinople. A fish 20 inches long
often sold for the equivalent of i've
cents. The poor were thus able to
obtain food for very little money. To-
day a similar fish Is sold for ten times
the usual price. This Is not because
there are fewer fish in the Bosporus."
said Doctor Peet. .but because there IL
no longer an adequate supply Of fish,
