Miscellaneous Shower.

One of the most unique pre-nup-
tial affairs of the season was the mis-
cellaneous shower rendered Miss Cla-
tie Andrews, charming bride-elect,
by Miss Thelma Dickson last Tues
day, April 5, from to 6 pm.
For the occasion the rooms were
beautifully decorated with spring
blossoms emphasizing white and
pink color motif.
Games of five hundred were
played. Miss Madden Jordan won
the first prize. Miss Stone was
awarded the second prize. Mrs. Mel
win Watson cut consolation.
Not cloud marred the beauty. of
the afternoon and the guests were
somewhat surprised when little Miss
Leila, the beautiful daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George Gibbs, entered the
room wearing a rain coat and car
rying a raised umbrella With grace
and ease she approached the honoree
and taking her by the hand led her
down pink bordered isle, keeping
step with MendeIssohn's wedding
march, sweetly played by Miss Min
ME Beck, to a table, above which was
suspended a large pink umbrella con-
tanning many gifts attesting Miss
Andrews social prestige.
An ice course of brick cream and
angel cake was served to about forty
guests.
Miss Andrews was handsomely
gowned in a grey taffeta model with
accessories in harmony, and wore
beautiful diamond bar pin, gift,
from her parents.
It was clearly demonstrated that
Miss Dickson understood the art of
giving shower.

VIENNA POPULACE
RAPIDLY DECLINES
Excess of Deaths Over Births
Means Depopulation,
Says Expert.

VIENNA, Feb. 2S.-UnlesA. the
present excess of deaths over births
is checked. Vienna will be complete
ly depopulated in two generations,
says 4 report just issued by the
American Red Crcss, giving a sum-
mary of recent treEds in Austrian
vital statistics.
These statistics show particular
ly alarming conditions among chill
drcn. All but per cent are badly
undernourished at the present mo-
of ricketts,; so per cent of children
between s and IL years of age and
SO per cent of children under o
show tubercular infection. Tuber-
culosis has increased $50 to 200 per
cent since 1914, and is now respon-
sible for one-fourth of ali deaths.
rhe report says in part:
Simultaneous with this increase
in disease and death is a steady de-
cline in the birth rate. In 1913 there
was a surplus of 1900 births over
deaths. In 1919 there was an ex-
cess of 5000 deaths over births.
Unless relief on a considerable scale
is continued this rate will increase
from month to month with cumula-
tive rapidity. as the new genera
tion. born from adults with lowered
vitality. will have even less power
of resistance than the last"

Average Britisher
Lives Better Than
A Century Ago

LONDON, Feb. 2s.-If all the peo-
pie in England with more than $25
a week income pooled the excess,
there would be 81 weekly extra for
every other family for the first year
and much less in succeeding years.
according to Sir Josiah Stamp, the
economist. in a London University
lecture.
Some 100000 people held two
thirds of the wealth of Great Brit
ain, and a section of these, number
ing $4,000, hold one-third of the
total wealth. There is no statistical
evidence, said Sir Josiah, to prove
beyond dispute that the holding Of
capital is becoming more concen-
trated in the hands of a few.
The average person today is four
times better off in income and
standard of living than he was 100
years ago.

ITALY TO HARNESS
HER WATER POWER

ROME, Feb. 2S.-Italy is fully and
firmly determined to get on the
water wagon-but not the partic-
ular one which the American pub
lie is at the present worried over.
In other words, Italy proposes to
harness her water, instead of drink
ing it.
Italy. up to the present time has
been virtually the slave of what
ever country could furnish her
wheat and coal The wheat slavery
she has been slowly overcoming by
gradually increasing her own pro-
duction. But as for coal-there isn't
any and never has been any in Italy.
The war demonstrated Italy's coal
servitude in such a manner that she
decided to break her chains by get
ting on the water wagon. The lat
est engineering statistics just COM
pleted as to Italy's water power
possibilities show that she can
easily solve the problem of even
tually doing without coal.
r. These statistics show that Italy
ranks after Switzerland as the first
country in the world for the amount
of water power available for every
square mile of her surface. Italy
has fifty-five horse power of hydro
electrical energy for every square
mile. The total amount of power
thus available in her almost in
Vulnerable rivers, falls and noun
tain torrents is over 100000 horse
power.
Up to the present time only about
100000 horse power is being utiI-
lied. In order to harness the rest
Italy has adopted a vast program
of water power development and in
a few years she expects to be rem
dered free from the necessity of any
foreign coal supply. Already the
