BALZAC'S HOME IS RESTORED
Includes Trap Door Through Which
Famous French Author Es- !
capped Creditors.

Paris.-The home Of the famous
French author, Honore de Balzac in.
the Rue Raynouard at Passy has been
reopened as an artists center. The
house had been sadly neglected, but
has been restored to present the ap-
pearance it had in Balzac's time, with
its vestibule painted blue and the orig
inal oak carvings and dark red tapes
tries decorating the apartment where
Balzac wrote his masterpieces.
On the table stands the big china
coffee pot from which the author was
wont to refresh himself, for Balzac
was mighty drinker of coffee. Old
wood cuts and original printing proofs
adorn the walls. In the garden the
vine that Balzac tended still grows and
his beloved lilacs have been replanted
there. :.
In one room there is still the trap
door through which Balzac used to dis
appear when importunate creditors
called.

Berlin.-A German professor figures
that the publications and dethrone-
ments in Germany include 278 persons.
Bavaria leads with one king, one
queen, Is princes, 16 princesses, five
dukes and one duchess. Prussia has
sent 39 royalties into exile, including
the emperor, empress, 20 princes and
II princesses. Brunswick is at the
bottom of the list, with only the ducal
couple and their three children. The
two tiny principalities Of Reuss, whose
area is hardly one three-hundredth
part of that of Prussia, have exiled
80 royalties.
The principally Of Lippe, only about
20 square miles larger than the Reuss
states, had royal family numbering
"a persons. Most extraordinary is the
case Of Schaumburg-L ippe, with its
area Of 100 square miles, where there
was nearly one royal parsonage for
every five square miles. These includ-
ed the reigning prince, II princes and

SAVED BY U. S. FOOD
Destitute People Of Roumania Are
Grateful to America.
Timely Arrival Of Supplies Prevents
Growth Of 9olshevism and
Revolution.

Bucharest.-American flour and
clothing are saving the lives of thou
sands Of destitute people throughout
Roumania. The United States food
administration has already brought in
to the country nearly 10000 tons Of
flour, while the American Red Cross,
which has large mission established
here, Is distributing clothing and gen.
eral relief supplies OF all kinds among
the needy populations!
The flour from America arrived at a
time when conditions were at their
worst and when local supplies for the
Roumanian people were almost ex-
hausted. 1t was feared that the want
OF food would result in a state Of boil
shevism and revolution.
This American flour has been a tre-
mendous factor in preventing the I'M
rest. From it's relief; stations estab-
llshed at Bucharest, Jassy, Constanza,
Galatz, Focsani and Pitesti, the Ameri-
can Red Cross is distributing it's sup
plies, and in every important village
an American Red Cross soup kitchen
is helping to feed the population. -
Queen Marie, who has taken the
greatest interest in this relief work,
has assigned Prince Carol to cooper
ate with the American Red Cross. Col.
Henry w. Anderson, Red Cross COM
missioner to. the Balkans, said that
three large consignments of relief sup
plies had already arrived in Rouma-
MIA, and that the fourth was already
on its way from Toulon, so that the
American Red Cross would soon be
able to care for every destitute person
in Roumania.

TRAINED WORKERS ARE BEST
DO Much More Efficient Work in Fac.

Training.

Observation-Disclosures reaching

indicates that foremen, after brief
experience with the training system,
insist upon having trained workers in
their departments, for the reason that
they do much more efficient work than
those who are put intoEth factory on
production work at the start. Many
workmen also ask for training, in or
der to increase their earning capac-

proved for peace time that last week
II factories adopted training systems,
a number almost equal to the average
installation Of training departments
during the war.
In one large plant there was a feel

start on the part Of a number of fore
men. When the first graduate Of

worker was exceptional. Under the

were required before workers were
able to produce the quantity and quail

output.
When considerable number Of per-
sons had been promoted to production
work after week or ten days in train
ing, however, the foremen's views
changed very radically, and they re-
fused to take any applicants for work
who had not had the advantages of
the training system. At one time,
when the training department was
full, new hand was sent at once to
the factory for production work, and
the foreman protested vigorously.

in her presence is as dumb and dismal

pistol had barely been heard Of by

however, gunsmiths have sold as many
automatic pistols in a week as they
had previously sold in a year A big
successful safe robbery, curious as it
may seem, does good, not harm, to

makers are always working a little
ahead Of even the most skilled Of safe
breakers, and the very newest Of safes
are known to be quite safe for a few
years, until the scientific safe-breaker
catches up. So safemakers chuckle
