STRUGGLE OVER
 GRAIN SUPPLY

Vienna, Aug. 14-Austria has abol- ished government control of her do- nestle grain supply after bitter po- litica1 fight in which the advanced parties were defeated by an over whelning vote of the combined Chris tian Socialist Crosse Deutsch parties Government control, it was alleged, was a farce
 While the grain of Austria is negli- gible in the worlds supply and but a fraction of her own need, passage of the decontro1 act is interesting as popular demonstration of the line of demarkation between the two great political factions.
 The economic experts of the Social ist wing declared the decontroI act a reactionary measure in favor sf the agrarian element and predicted that bread prices would rise because of it.
 Advocates of the measure, on the other hand, insisted that in spite of laws the former withheld his food stuffs from the government requisi- 2tion and sold to the 'left hand trade, which in turn profited by the risk they undertook and ba1looned prices. These men say that decon- trol means a normal adjustment of prices to demand and the sale of breadstuffs being 1egalized the farm CT and miller will again enter open competition in a fair market.
 The Decontrol Act brought the resignation of Food Controller Low enfeld-Russ. Under his leadership the Socialist Democrats fought the bill stage by stage. In it's final shape the bill provides that when the indi- vidual farmer has given up three tenths of his crop the rest of it is freed. The bill also abo1ishes mill ing permits.

SEES LOWER FOOD PRICES.

Washington, Aug. 14-Crop reports indicate somewhat lower prices for foodstuffs, according to the monthly bulletin of the United States Cham Der of Commerce Committee on Statistics and Standards, made public last night. Slackness in textiles, some leather products and metal lines, how ever, are classed as indications of more awaiting and readjustm ent periods in moderate way than the prelude to any marked change"
 Unless experience be misleading the new purchasing power of the rail roads will be a strong factor in main- taining both prices and the volume of business" the bulletin asserts
 The automobile industry, the bulle- tin adds, gives indications of ap- preaching the peak of production for the present." while building opera tions are hampered by high prices ot materials and labor to the point where "only the most imperatively necessary construction can and will proceed"

WHEN OPPOSFTES WED.

The law which applies. to science in regard to Hikes repelling and unlikes attracting is not always a wise one to apply to human beings. Some peo- rde hold the theory that friction in marriage between people of different tastes and characteristics prevents the Likelihood of stagnafion and rtrts.
 Marriage is something more than love making; when there is only a physical attraction for each other. this attraction dies out. or becomes weak ened through familiarity, then follows tragedy.
 One or two examples will give an idea of the outcome of opposites mar ryins.
 Before marriage s. was a StudiOus fellow; his hobby was collecting old glass and keeping in touch with the current literature He was quiet and home-1oving, and would have made an excellent husband for a domesticated type of woman. Yet he married his oppcsfte-a fluffy, frivolous little thing, with whom he hadn't a thought in common. But he fell in love with the way her hair curied and the viv1d- ness of her. She became his wife. He was dIdSSeA OaBL oO IacdtTeS- Ile was never allowed more than two meals at home a week. She thought life at home was so deadly dull and preferred the blaze of the restaurants. Of course, in time rels7fion came. He got used to the curl in her hair and her yividness was a bore. Now he goes his way and she goes hers. He thinks that marriage is a much over rated institution. and it is to him. But with the right woman he could have been very happy.
 In the case of Alice. more domes- ticated little woman would have been hard to find. She would have been ideally happy in ono of those dear little suburban nests where her aira in life would have been we'll balanced, daiptily served meals, and a home that was spotless. Of course, her husband should have been one of the home-Eoving ones who would have appreciated a,h this. But-he is of the Bohemian type. and the dema nds such a life make on her are fast mak- ing a wreck of Alice's nerves and looks Neither of them are happy, but they might have been had they been kindred spirits.
 A marriage of opposites rarely leads to true happiness. You can't expect a volcano to settle peacefully down with an iceberg. can you? In true mating to 7lave a common outlook on life is as important as love.

MADEMOISELLE RACHEL

MademoiseIle Rachel was the tragedy queen of France during the middle of the last century. She died at the age of thirty-eight. An ex- hausting tour in America, entered upon for needless money making, had much to do with bringing about the premature death of the great traGe- dienne. Rachel was the child of poor Hebrew parents. When at an early age she broke upon theatrical audi ences in the characters of Roxane, Camille and other of that class, she created a great fuEore. Yet her style of acting was more calculated to ex- cite terror than pity. It is said of her that she was a woman without good qualities. Greed was her strongest characteristic. To her cred- 1t it may be said that she was gener- ous to the family from which she sprung. During her short but spec tacular career she is said to have had many lovers

HER FRENCH PARTY FROCK.

When the little girls friends give birthday parties and garden fetes she must have some dressy little frock to meet the occasion She has passed the age when her very fine lawn with pink or blue sash is appropriate. Her dress should be of silk. Can you inn agine the thrill of a youngster who puts on this Frenchy frock for the first time and stands before the mirror to observe the effect?
 It is of blue taaffeta with a wide bertha that gives it a charmin g ouaintness. The hem of the skirt is cut in large sca1fops. Lovely silver r-ibbona strirn the sleeves. collar and hem. So distinctive and yet so youth fully festive!

THE TIMES SCOOP"
(Hartford 'Times.)


 Once more our judgment is con- firmed. There will be no special ses- sion of the Connecticut legislature to act on the woman suffrage amend ment, says Governor HoIcomb, in re- ply to a query of the Bridgeport Times as to what his attitude would be as a result of the plea of Chair man Hays for a special session.
 Governor Holcomb does not give a hoot about the national chairman S desire to "clear the atmosphere" His own interpretation of the state con- stitution is far more satisfactory to him than anybody e1se's interpreta- ton of it. Simple justice to women' will not be granted bp any special session called by him.
 There's a stalwart, stand pat, adamant governor for all of us to admire. Frank B. Brandegee is charmed, we are sure.
