PROGENY OF WOMAN 97 YRS,
 OLD IS 1894
I W live Great-Great- Grandchildren at Ma tai Fete-Hopes for Fifth Generation.

Homeda1e, Idaho, Oct. 25.-Cele- brating her 97th birthday anniversary here, Mrs. Eliza beth Freeburn receiv- ed congratulations from her 184 chiI- dren, grandchildren, great-gra ndc chil- dren and great-great-gran
 Mrs. Freeburn has ten sons and daughters, 54 grandchildren, 109 great-grandchildren and 12 great great The oldest of the great-great-grand is 26 months old. Having seen the fourth generation of her family, Mrs. Free burn is anxious to live long enough to see the fifth. And she has a good chance of having this wish materialize. For despite her active life and the many hardships which she endured as a pioneer, she is unusually well and hardy for her years. She takes a keen interest in newspapers, especially in political news.
 Born in Indiana in 1925, Mrs. Free burn had married and migrated to Ill., inots by 1852, this being the first Journey of a series of moves west ward. In 1862 she and her husband found life too tame in the rapidly developing state of Illinois and moved on to Hardin county, Iowa, where she was one of 8 band of pioneers who planted the first corn in that state. When Iowa settled up she emigrated to the state of Washington, and came to Homedale after the death of her husband, 20 years ago.

Paris Peeved Over
 French Girl" Doll
(By International News serv,,

(By International News Service.) Paris, Oct. 25-Litt1e dolls repre- sent1ng the Parisian girl and seen in the boulevard shop windows have caused rumpus. Representative Paris societies and clubs claim "she'' Is not the real Parisienne. Storms of protest issue from all sides because of the fr1volity of these little alabaster folk, and Americans purchase them as souvenirs of Paris.
 The dolls are little plaster ladies in red pajama coats. The coat is all and it's a small coat-or at least it would seem that it is, as it doesn't quite meet across the chest
 Bonsoir asks whether the sculptor M. Maurice Milliese, does right in representing the Parisienne in this manner.
 'No," says Bonsofr, stthese are not the real Paris girls. If the American visitor seeks a real souvenir, a real memory of our girls, let him see them as they come from their offices and shops. Let him see them as they s1r- round the pushcarts at noon carefully selecting their midday meal. Then he will know the real Paristenne, and the plaster persons with the pajama coat will be but a fantasy in his memories of Paris"

COST OF LIVING
 UP 10000 PER
 GENT. IN AUSTRIA

Vienna,}kOct. 26.-(A.P.9-It is es- timated that the cost of living in Aus tria has increased over 10000 per cent. since January of this year.
 Each monthly index number, on which all government salaries as well as agreements between employees and employed are based, has mounted steadily, until this month government employees receive salaries equal to 156 times the amount paid in March of 1921. This and other government outlay has been met largely by the printing press, until the current state ment of the Austro-Hungarian bank shows a total note circulation of near 1y two thousand billions of kronen. One weeks increase alone was 1S0,- 0OO,00O,0OO.
 Within the last month strict gov ernment control over all dealings in foreign exchange has raised the krone from about S4,000 to 74,000 to the dollar. But despite this there has been no appreciable check in rising prices. It is claimed, for example, that flour. margarine, beef, fats. cof- fee clothing, shoes and fuel are above world parity.
 The government and private inter- ests recently initiated a fight against the index number system. An amend ment to the statute was brought in by which the government will pay only one-half of any future increase, while private employers served notice they would not meet 1t, but would negotiate the basis of increase with the unions Organized labor of every kind rose as a man, and more than half a dozen unions are still on strike.
 The unions claim that the index system is not a cause of increased prices, but a thermometer, and that the basic fault Is lack of control over profiteering in necessities.

M' CORMACK STRONG
 FOR SIMPLE LIFE
Noted Tenor, Who Sings At Palace Next Sunday, Fol lows Regular Program To Keep Fit.

How is it." someone asks every now and then, that John Mccormack, who will give a recital next Sunday afternoon, October 29, at Polls new Palace theatre, is always the same In his work I have never heard him give g. poor concert?"
 The answer Is simple. Early in his career he learned and applied the lesson that the foundation of a per manent success as a singer is a sound and vigorous physique
 If you had the pleasure of spend ing a day with him at his beautiful summer home, Rock1ea, on the Con necticut shore of Long Island Sound, yoI would find it very difficult to fol- low him in his round of recreation unless you were a trained athlete, as he is.
 Almost every morning he goes out for a round of golf on the Tokenecke links, about three miles from his home. Every afternoon, rain or batl.1ng beach on the Sound and takes a long swim. If it isn't raining, he then indu1ges in his favorite game of tepDis. John Mccormack" remarked one of his crack opponents, ''but not in sporting sense, for if you have any pride in your game you are very likely to be humbled and dishonored. Of all the men I have tackled, he's one of the hardest to beat.
 The days athletic program com pleted, Mccormack devotes an hour or two to rehearsal. In the cool of the evening he takes a stroll along shore or back into the country, and at an hour when the tired denizen of the city is endeavorfng to refresh his dropping spirits at the club, the the atre. or the cabaret, he lays his head peacefully on the pillow of his couch on his veranda in the Upen air, and sleeps the sleep of the just.

 A good way to catch muskrats along the brooks is to look along the brook for decayed logs or fresh cut logs and slide them out to the edge of the brook. Take a fair sized rock and tie the cord or wire to one end of the rock and the other end to the log. If the log is larg- CT at one end than the other tie the cord to the smaller end. Carry your log out into the center or the stream and let the rock settle to the bottom. At the larger end of the log chop plac- es for traps to fit and plaster the cut tings with mud so fresh marks will not show. Nail ends of chain under the log. Now place your traps on the log and camoufage with mud, grass and old leaves. A little apple or carrot scatter ed about the trap and water sprinkled over the log to wash off the scent com pletes the set. Rats climbing up to ex- plore the raft will soon be caught.

sToRRs COLLEGE To
 ASK MILLION DOLLARS

A progressive program of expansion involving an expenditure of approxi- mately $f,0O0, 900 within the next ten ye.-rs will be laid before the legislature by the Connecticut Agricultural College. Al. initial appropriation of $268.000 for boys dormitories and classrooms will be asked of the session which convenes next month, as the initial step in the plan. /,
 at the same time, the state board of education will request an additional ap- propriation of $500,000 for the new state normal school plant at New Brit an, to finance the construction of 6or- mitory, and an aT1pr opriation of $300,- UvU Tor a dormhory for the state nor nal school at Danbury.
 AS the administration building and power plant of the normal school at New Britain are now under construc- ton, the building of the dornitory would complete the plan for that insti- tut. on. The granting of the requested appropriation of a half million dollars by the coming session, would make the tot cost of the New Britain school tc the state. s1,2550,o0o, or 8 quarter mil l.ol. dollars less than the original esti mate.
 l . le Connecticut Agricultural college project is the biggest in sight, with tht possible exception of the Connecticut School for Boys at Meriden, as the ses sion approaches, as far as existing in i stitutions are concerned. Both of thest ] institutions made requests two year agU for large building appropriations but the Meriden school withdrew its, re quest when tt saw the condition of tn s&ates finances at that time. The agri cultural college requests were heavill cut and no new construction of a ma | jor character was allowed.
 At the special session of the iegisla i ture held before the election of 1920 a bill was passed appropr. .ating $335! 900 for the erection of a women's build ing to be used as dormitery and fo instruction in home economies.
 Details of the building program to b lait before the coming session by tn | college authorities, aside from those 10 the first year, are lacking, but w4A y presented to the legislature at an earl
 date.
