R0YALISTS PLOT AGAIN
TO RESTORE CHARLES

PARIS, May "Details of yet an
other plot to re-install Emperor
Charles on the throne OF Austria are
reaching Paris. A secret association
to this end has just been formed and
it is in close touch with royalist
circles in Austria as we'll with the i'm
m ediate encourage of the former en-
peror and his friends in Germany.
Former Minister Wagner is said to be
the leader of this secret gang and he
has as collaborators former Minister
Bleyer in Hungary and the organiz-
ing chiefs of the Orgesch, Germany's
new army, in Germany. Wagner has
made frequent trips to Switzerland
and has had many conferences with
Emperor Charles and his suite at
Prangins. wherein all phases OF the
restoration of the Hapsburgs in
Austria were discussed at great
length.

Rupture Kills
1000 Annual,

Seven thousand persons each year are
laid sway--the burial certificate being
marked Rupture" whyr Because the
unfortunate ones had neglected themselves
or had been merely taking care OF the sign
(swelling) Of the affiiction and paying no
attention to the cause. What are you
doing7 Are you neglecting yourself by
wearing a truss. appliance, or whatever
name you choose to call itF At best, the
truss IA only a makeshift--a false prop
against oollapsing wall--and cannot be
expected to act as more than n mere me-
ohanical support. The binding pressure re-
tards blood circulation, thus robbing the
weakened muscles of that which they need
most-nourishment.
But science has found a way. and every
truss sufferer in the land Is invited to make
FREE test right in the privacy Of their
own home. The PLAPAO method IL un-
ausstionably the most scientific, logical and
successful self-treatment for rupture the
world has ever kppwn.

whoop about oratory. He's been in
the Senate twenty-six years.
Senator Knox walked into the cham
Der and turned right around and
walked out again.
Senator Overman was listening but
seemed to be getting drowsy.
Senator Sheppard was reading a
public document-probably one about
prohibition enforcement.
Senator Smith of South Carolina
was talking TO another Southern Sena-
tor about cotton. It's hundred to
one he was talking about cotton.
That about represented the Senate
attendance. Possibly there were a
few more scattered here and there
among the empty seats. Sometimes
less than dozen out OF 96 Senators
hear the speeches which read well in
the Record, and which the public
imagines thrilled the entire Senate.
It's great game IL the Senatorial
orator doesn't weaken-and most of
them have gotten used to It, But the
performance is a great shock to folks
from the rural districts who come to
Washington once in a lifetime to get
thrill by seeing their Congress In
action.

CUSTODY AND DoMICILE.

Shortly after the signing of the
armistice, the Treasury Department
requested Congress to make an ap-
preparation for the construction of
hospitals. A small appropriation
was made in March. 1919. This was
wholly inadequate. The matter was
presented repeatedly. and finally on
the 4th of March, 1921, Congress
passed and President Wilson ap-
proved a hospital building measure,
which authorized the Secretary Of
the Treasury to provide additional
hospitals with an appropriation OF
SIS, 900. The expenditure of this
money was by that law restricted to
hospitals for operation by the Pub
lie Health Service of the Treasury.
To advise and assist him in the
execution of that law, the Secretary
OF the Treasury appointed q group

must be between eighteen and twenty
five years old and unmarried.
The reason for placing the minimum
at eighteen years 10 not the companys
doing, but 10 rather q matter of Law.
Under the law, the company cannot
employ q girl under eighteen years
after 8 o'clock at night The girls,
when they first come in, have to do

they grow old in the service they get

at least five feet tall and have good
eyesight and hearing. They INST

NOTE TELLS
FATE OF SHIP CREW
Finder Will Reveal Contents
Only to Owners of Ghost
Schooner Deerinq.

NORFOLK, Va, April 23.-Christo'
pher c. Gray, of Buxton. N. c.. coast
town near Hatteras, claims to have
picked up a bottle washed in from the
sea which contained a note that eX-
plains the fate of the crew OF the
schooner Carroll A. Deering, which
came ashore with all sails set at Dia-
mond Shoals last January.
Gray refuses to make known the
contents of the note found in the bot
tie and has requested custom officials
to put him in touch with the owners
of the vessel. to whom he says he will
give the information If satisfactory
terms can be arranged.
1t is reported that the note tells of
a ghost having appeared on the Deer
ing while at sea and the crew refused
to remain on board. Another report
says the note tells of sickness among
the men and of the decision to take &c
the lifeboats rather than to take the
chance of contracting the disease.
The Deering. because of her mye-
terious appearance without sign 81
life on board, has been called the ghost
ship Of Diamond Shoals. She has been
torn to pieces by the seas and quick
sands that ilfest that part of the At
lantic.

MONDELL' SSTATEFOR
GROSS SALES TAX BILL

Simultaneous with Congressman

tax bill, introduced by Senator Smoot
and Congressman Fordney, came a
statement last night from Herbert
Schsmberg. managing director of the
Commercial Travellers Association of
America, that a majority OF the voters
in Wyoming, Mondelrs native State,
are for the tax. The travellers, said
Director Schamberg, have taken poll
In Wyoming and find that a plurality
OF the voters and all the editors in
wyoming are for the bill which Con-
gresham Mondell opposes.
81 am here to see Mr.. Mondell am
acquaint him with the sentiment of
his own state" said Mr.. Schamberg.
"All the newspapers in his State have
strongly Endorsed the sales tax. OF
all the remedies that have been sug-
gested for the obnoxious taxes, super
taxes and surtaxes that have been ad-
vocated, the gross sales tax is the
most advantageous from every angle
for the rich and poor alike. The Com
mercial Travellers of America indorse
the sales tax, and that Is enough for
me-"
