of July, the number of visitors in- creases steadily and rises to a peak in August. falling off again by the end of the month. After that, as win ter approaches, the shop keepers board up their stores, and open busi- ness in the South or at some winter resort
 There is no large, well-appointed hotel in Niagara Falls such as most popular resorts have. The city ex- poets to have one in a few years. In the meantime, the tourists are ac-
 comodated fin small hotels of all grades and in private rooming houses. The latter can apparently be counted only by numbering the houses in Mia gara Falls, for practically every
 housekeeper within a mile of the
 Falls has a sign out. The five months open season it kept by these rooming
 houses, and many of the hotels, too,
 are locked up by the time of the first snow.
 Some day, Niagara Falls hopes to | be a winter resort. The beauty of | the ice-b bound Falls and the snow-
 covered evergreens on tine shore is
 regarded by many people as a more magnificent sight than the Falls in
 summer. Comparatively few people who work take vacations in the win | ter, and summer is still the popular season for marriages, but the wealthy
 who frequent resorts the year round
 may soon be sought out as patrons
 of Niagara in winter with the added | inducement of winter sports, such as
 skating, tobogganing. and sleighing.
 At present, this plan is merely an air castle. Like other places. Ma gara Falls has felt the shock of hard times this season. One restaurant keeper on Falls Street says only half
 of last years crowds have been here this summer.
 "There are more auto tourists" he lamented, ".and lots of them eat pie nic lunches and hunt out cheap places to eat. Close, why two men came in here the other day and ordered II 35 cents worth of breakfast between them-one toast and two coffees," III The scenes in the shops bear out the story of hard times. There ars plenty of people pricing and examin- !. ing goods. but not so much nasty buy l ing.
 The city of Niagara Falls disclaim:
 the idea that it exists only for th'
 tourists. To be sure. the Falls bring many visitors with ther dollars into the city. It is certain that the hard
 ened natives of Niagara Falls do no' contribute largely to the fortunes o the numerous dealers in spar jewelrs
 and felt pennants- Yet Nlagarr Fall:
 holds that as a town 1t is becoming really significant as a manufacturing
 center. Its power companies ars hitching Niagara to industry. No , only is it the headquarters from whicf : large quantities of a well knowr breakfast food are scattered daily tS waiting world. but it has become . center of the electric chemical busi- ness. a very important industry S' , far. however. the city is mostly fam 5 ous to Americans at large as th' ; place where the Falls is.

TURKS ARE SEEKING
AID FROM FRANCE
NATIONALIST GOVERNMENT AT
ANGoRA EXPRESSES DESIRE
TO REACH UNDERSTANDING.
British Influence In the Near East
Declared to Be Directed Against
Late Ally.-Desire a Formal
Understanding With France.

Washington. Frank acknowledge
ment by the Turkish Nationalist gov
eminent of Angora of a desire to
reach an understanding with France
for subverting British influence in the
near east Is, contained In semI-offI-
cial statement received on April 10
from AIfgora.
The declaration of policy Of the
Turkish National government Is OF
especial interest, In the opinion OF Of
ficials, since the policy urged on
France by the Turks may have had
some influence in the evacuation of
Cilicia as well as in the conclusion Of
a formal understanding between the
two governments.
"Great Britain is today not only
supreme in the near east" the state
ment declared, ''but also in the world,
and France finds herself under this
domination. Turkey understands that
the struggle which she pursues toda1
is neither against the Greeks nor
against the French, but instead against
the British.
The near eastern policy of Great
Britain was reported as being directed
against France and that of the latter
as endeayoring to maintain intact an
independent Turkey. Criticism, how
ever, was made Of the pursuit by
France Of certain economic interests
contrary to the vital interests Of the
Turks"
SHOULD France desire it," the state
ment said. a solution might be found
for all these questions affecting the
interests of France and Turkey.
Evacuation of Cilicia by France would
so strengthen the government of Ana
tolia that all plans Of British domina-
tiOn would in very short time be
effectively checked. The policy which
Turkey henceforth will be able to pur-
sue will be one which will be in ac-
cord with many points of French pol

He won the Hazard doubles target tro-

broke 40 straight in that shoot, but
the other 80 were from IS yards and
were not registered; therefore, his BIZ

Former German Empress Augusta
Victoria Passes Away at Doom.
Doom, Holland. Empress
Augusta Victoria OF Germany died
lere April IL.
Collapse of the central powers and
the vicissitudes of war that drove
former Emperor William of Germany
and his consort into practical exile in
Holland in November, 1918, was the
lowering of the curtain in the life
of the once beautiful empress and
queen, of Prussia, Augusta Victoria,
who, for nearly forty years, had been
the most beloved hausfrau of the Ger
man people.
The former empress gravest cloud,
next to the abdicatlon of William II,
was the tragic death of her son, Prince
Joachim, who committed suicide by
shooting himself in Berlin In 1920.
She was never informed, It is said,
that Joachim had taken his own life.
Another depressing event which haunt
ed her was the Russian revolution and
the fate that befell Emperor Nicholas
and his family, with all of whom, be-
fore the war, she had been on the
kindliest terms.
Augusta Victoria was notable chief
" for her keen interest in charitable
work and in the betterment of the
living conditions of the German poor.
1t has been said of her that she was
not an especially gifted woman and
that she cared more for the simple
duties of home life than for royal
functions.
