PIGS CAUSED WORLD WAR Quarrel Between Austria and Serbia
 Traced to Difficulty Over Swine

Pigs-just pigs-brought on the war, according to a statement accred- ited to Count Carl Seilern, formerly confidential adviser to the erstwhile Emperor Charles at Vienna. Frederick H. Mead of Troy, N. Y., member of the Red Cross convoy taking food sup plies to Budapest, reports the count aS saying:
 Fifteen years before the war Ser via was shipping great numbers of pigs into Hungary, successfully com peting with the Hungarian farmers. The Hungarians protested but the bors der was left open. Finally the Austro- Hungarian government on the pretext that all Servian pigs were diseased placed an embargo on them.
 Up to that time the two govern ments had more or less of friendly understanding. Political leaders in Servia seized upon the pig Incident. Austro-Hungarian diplomats took up the question. Misunderstanding arose over it. When it grew too old for po- litical propaganda, other questions were built out of it and thus the world war was brought on.
 "Yes, there is no doubt, pigs caused :he war"

This sudden craze for silk shirts Is due to the fact that workingmen are making vastly more money than ever before. War time wages have filled their pockets and they have been en- abled to realize some of their long cherished desires, one of which was to wear silk shirts.
 Men who few years ago con- plaineu because they could not get a cotton shirt for less than a dollar are now buying three and four silk shirts a season and paying from $1O to S14 apiece for them.
 "Even the farm laborer is wearing silk Dealers from out of town tell me of calls for silk shirts from men on the farms and say it is the first time since they have been in business that has occurred.
 "NaturaIly, this tremendous demand has had it's effect on supply, with t!le resulting increase in prices.
 And the demand does not appear to he just d spaSOnable one. Already we are besicged with inquiries for goods t0 be delivered in the spring. Prices then will be higher than they are now"

American MuslCIanS Are Returning to Old tlaunts
 After World War Strain

From the music of cannon and the rhythm of marching feet, back to the quiet harmony of studio and concert hall.
 Hundreds of musicians in America. threw down their bow and their baton to enter the war. To some the idea was just a bit ludicrous-the emo tional musician engaged in the brutal, uncomfortable business of fighting. To those who knew the patriotic fer vor and adaptability of these inspired music makers, there was more than little anxiety for the peace future of warrior musicians. How would the delicate mechanism of their psychol- ogy be affected by an activity so pow erful and so far from their normal desires?
 Some musicians like David Hoch- stein, the young violinist who lost his life in the Argonne. will never return But unassuming numbers of them have taken their places again in the ranks of players. One may hear them in the theater orchestra. They are playing in the cabaret jazz band, con- tent to return to the humdrum of the life which was so enthralling to them before the war. It may be bit stale to them now. But the reaction will soon set in, has already come to many who have lost the nrst restless crav- ing for excitement that they felt on; their return from the front.
 Percy Grainger, Australian pianist has returned to his old job of compos- ing and concertising. Irving Berlin, king of popular music, has stopped in- spring the soldier and has set his brilliant talents to inspiring the sol dier in civilian life. Albert SpaIding, one of the greatest of Americas violin ists, is on his way home from the front. His old job of fddling and making the world safe for culture is waiting for him, and he will take it gladly.

Japanese Produce Dwarf
 Trees Through Training
 in Reverse to Nature

There is a general impression that the method of producing dwarf trees is a secret that the Japanese have never dfvulged; but the course to be pursued is really simple. The whole system of culture may be summed up as the reverse of natures method. It really consists, not in the survival of the fittest, but rather in the survival of the unfittest. A poor, weak seed is usually chosen and planted. AS soon as it has attained some growth the leading shoot is trimmed off. The lit tie plant then grows two other shoots, and these are carefully watched. When one shoot exhibits a strength and vi- tality greater than it's fellow 1t is at once cut off and the weaker shoot is untouched in order to form the future dwarf trees main stem or trunk. This system of trimming and cutting is fol- lowed punctiliously. Water is seldom used-only in very small quantities to keep the little plant actually alive
 The tree is kept in a pot too small for its full development, and the roots are constantly pruned. The shoots are carefully trained and bent to follow the growth of a large tree. All this requires great patience, but the Jap anese never tire watching the growth of the tree from day to day. week to week and month to month. When the tree has been growing for about five years, it can then be practically left to take care of itself. It has be- come accustomed to its training, and It's surroundings, and, like force of habit, follows the course laid out for 1t.

WAR DOOMED SILK SHIRTS
Hlah Wages Enabled Workingmen to Purchase Expensive
 Garments.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press believes the development of nationwide craze for luxuries Is reflected in the phenomenal demand for silk shirts that has swept through the country this summer. Merchants and manufac- turers declare it is typical of the de- sire for spending money that has seized the people of the United States esnecially the labOring classes.
 This new craze is not confined to onv particular locality, but is general throughout the United States. Men who have never before worn silk shirts are buying them this season, not only me or two at a time, but in half dog pn lots and the consumption has been 50 great that the local market is al most bare of stocks.
