as. head of this department, Antonio

Both the president and the new min

their lives to agricultural development
and are therefore keenly interested IN
providing encouragement to the farm
ers and planters. Both realize foreign
investment must be encouraged to ac-
compliSh this end and believe that

House of 1000 Rooms.

Z a maze which forms a happy hunt
ing ground for robbers, is the house
formerly. occupied by the ministry ct
war in Vienna, says correspondent.
The great size Of the thousand roomed
house evidently attracts the attention
of thieves and the military and police
SEEN unable to keep them Out. Or
nanents, pictures, typewriters, every
thing and anything, even to the door
knobs and knockers are constantly be-
ing carried away. When thief, in
the course of his wanderings, meets
anyone, he simply pretends to have
come on business, and goes On until he
comes to an unoceupied room, there
he quickly gathers together anything
he can lay his hands on, and departs.
In many cases the robbers have an
accomplice in the. street to whom ar
ticles are thrown from the window. ,

''Why, Bettina, it was only ye&tcr-

"Well, Of course. il saves us buying

"It would be nice" agreed the bride

the voice Of her husband. Then size
rallied her forces once more. "But
think how much money it will save

'''By the way" slid the almost new
husband, ''we mustn't forget our serial

abSent-mindedly. Then she launched
