QUEER MYTH ABOUT WILSON
Belief in Austria That President of the
United States Is Really Crown
Prince Rudolph.

According to the Vienna Journal, a
serious newspaper, the rural popula-
ton of large districts of the provinces
of Lower Austria and Styria never be-
lieved in the death of Crown Prince
Rudolph of Austria, who was assas-
sinated in the castle of Meyerling near
Baden, together with Countess Wees
cera in 1889.
The people refused to accept this Of
fetal statement, and their suspicion
was nourished at the time by the fact
that the coffin of the crown prince at
the funeral was extremely small, while
the crown prince himself was power
full man.
The story went that the crown
prince had really not been murdered
at all, but that he had fled across the
big pond.
Ever since the war there is a grow
ing belief among the rural population
that the crown prince, who, as will
be remembered, was addicted to scien-
tific researches, is identical with Prof
Woodrow Wilson, president Of the
United States of America.
The remarkable thing is that there
is an evident optimism as the future
of Austria connected with the legend,
for the people say it is plain that VIII
son being Grown Prince Rudolph, will
not let his beloved Austria perish.

One day recently young couple
entered the county clerks Office in

PROTECT THE SONG BIRDS
Sound Advice Which Is as Applicable
to United States as to Cana
dian Farmers.

70 Our songbirds are, now on their way
to their Canadian haunts, and some
of them may have arrived when these
lines are read. Their return suggests
the old dmonition-protect them in
every way possible, because they are
the best protectors of our gardens, our
garden crops and our orchards. With
out these birds the insects would "eat
us out of house and home"
In an article on the protection of
wild life Jack Miner condenses the
whole case into a single paragraph
He takes the robin as the representa-
tive of our winged allies in the war
fare against insects and worms, and he
states his case in this fashion:
"Now what good is the robin? Ev-
erybody knows the robin. A boy came
along the road with a % rifle, saw a
robin sitting there, and killed it.
went over and picked the robin up.
Two cutworms were squirming on the
ground-the robin had had them in
hisIbeak. / held the bird up, and two
more fell out of his mouth. Remem-
Der, one cut worm will cut down five
tomato plants in a night. The cut
worm does his work and then hides
under the soil Mr.. Robin comes hop
ping along, picks in there and pulls
him out-and then turns him into q
robin. If anyone tells you that a
robin will destroy one hundred cut
worms in day take it from him that
it is true. Montreal Herald.

Extinct Species.

Two grizzly bear skulls from the
foothills of San Jose California;
county have been classified at the
Smithsonian institution at Washington,
showing that in days gone by now
extinct species of grizzly roamed the
hills of Alum Rock and Mount Hanil-
ton ranges, according to announcement
there.
DR.. c. Hart Merriman of the insti-
tuition came here for the skulls of the
bears, which were killed more than
fifty years ago by Clark Hubbard, a
pioneer. According to Doctor Merri-
man the skulls are from a species
clearly distinct from the 3S other spe-
cies and subspecies classified by the
institution. Doctor Merriman has
searched the mountains of the entire
West for grizzly bear relics.

BELGRADE TO "coME BACK"
Citizens of Serbian Capital Confident
Their Beloved City Will Rise
From Its Ashes.

Belgrade, the capital of Serbia and
Jugo-Slavia. is now mere shell of its
former self. The Serbs used to be
remarkably proud of their metropolis.
Did they not possess city with first
class hotels, electric cars, boulevard,
good shops, and all other modern con-
veniences. not to mention profusion
of the coffee houses and gardens so
dear to the heart of the Serb?
These coffee houses of Belgrade are
more of an institution than the tavern
ever was in London. A cupful of
black coffee in public garden. mil
itary band playing the weird Slavic
songs, and the young people dancing
the old folk dances. on the grass-these
represent the height of cOntentment
to the Serb after a days work.
During the war, however, there was
little coffee drunk in Belgrade. and
the Serbs have forgotten how to dance.
While the streets of city are system
atically shelled by the enemy, and ev-
cry ablebodied man is off to war, the
citizens think less of comfort and con-
Germ themselves with safety.
Belgrade was deserted, but its peo-
pie, those who survived, are coming
back to their wrecked homes. They
are still battling with hunger, and their
loved city is in chaos, but they are
hopeful. AS the capital of Sav re-
public, Belgrade has, they believe, en-
tered upon a new and more suspicious
era Of it's history.

Auto Accident
Thursday evening as DR.. and Mrs.
Leon E. Page were out for an auto
ride, as they were going toward New
port Center, on Highland avenue near
the L. S. Sco..t rlacc, the car began
to cut over The bank, and before the
doctor could get it back into the road
the car went over the end of sluice,
turning over. The doctor escaped
without any serious results, but Mrs.
Page was less fortunate, and at the
time appeared quite seriously injured.
She was taken to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Magoon, who are in
innate friends, where physicians were
called and Mrs. Page was made as
comfortable as possible. 1t was
thought that one or more of the ribs
were fractured and prossibly the COL
lar bone. 1t is understood
that the X-Ray will be used and then
the result of the accident can be more
fully determined. The six cylinder
car was very badly damaged and has
been moved to the Willis garage.
1t seemed only miracle that they
were not both killed.

Cotton Gin for Zululand.

The first cotton-ginning plant in Zu-
luland, writes Vice Consul Charles J.
Pisar from Cape Town, recently COM
menced operations at Amatikulu. after
almost years preparatory work.
The capacity of the American gin in
stalled is between 1,500 and LOGO
pounds of lint for an eight-hour day,
which represents 21s tons of seed cot
ton. The installation of this ginning
plant is looked upon as one of far
reaching importance for the cotton
growers in Zululand and it is believed
that cotton growing there, which has
been receiving special attention from
government experts, will undergo a
very rapid development in the near fu-
ture.

Steel is q kind of iron which can
easily be hammered out thin without
cracking and can be made extremely
hard by being heated and then cooled
quickly. 1t is different from ordinary
iron because of the amount of carbon
in it. Wrought iron contains less car

made so hard: cast iron contains more
and so is brittle,

Practically, q meal outdoors IL
