One Of .erea. cltx,a rranedles.

An old-time tragedy of the Central
Markets, Paris, has been recalled by
the death at an advanced age Of
loRce rlchiwoman, who for many years
made a poor living there overturning
garbage cans and selling anything Of
value she might be able to find there
in. Her name was unknown, and for
nearly half century she was merely
called "Princess." Fifty years ago II
was fashionable for persons of high
society in Paris to pass a riotous night
I'm the cafes and stalls of the market.
On one occasion fashionable woman,
one Of a gay party, was robbed of
money and jewels, presumably by her
escort. Left penniless, she refused,
for reasons easily surmisable to COM
municate with her husband or her
family in central France Instead she
sought employment and gradually fell
into extreme poverty. She got her nick
name owing to her invarlable habit,
when asked about her former life, of
replying: ASK no questions; | am a
princess from a far country"

RETURNING TO SWORD PLAY
New York Children In Their Games,
Seem to Have Abandoned "Mod-
ern Warfare"

Playwrlghts and theatrical producers
predict the return Of the costume play
and the swashbucklin' melodrama. But
the youngsters of New York seem to
have realized this prophecy in their
games.
Wooden swords, umbrella rib dag
gers and crOssbows have supplanted
dummy rifles and barrel stave artil-
lery pieces that were popularized by
the World war.
Sword play, with hickory raplers and
fragile crate-cover cutlasses seem to
have asserted romantic appeal over
infantry charges and vocal bling

no mans land, but rock-strewn heath

Frankie and Johnny would "do each
other in mortal combat as Spaniard
and Dutchman in the lowlands."
There is more realism in the sword
than in the pistol, with which one
must say "Blngw BangT Rock piles

NEW DANCE HAS MADE HIT
Gothamites Take to Importation From
London, Though It Seems Rather
a Childish Pastlme.

There's a new dance stunt in town.
It's the balloon dance and it's from
dear old London, don't you know. It's
a bit Of all right, too.
4 few nights ago 1t was introduced
at the Rendezvous-one Of Broad
ways most exclusive supper clubs.
And it made a tremendous hit, says
the New York World.
"A toy balloon is tied to the ankle of
each dancer Of the fair sex and the
idea is to get through a close-htting
loXtrot or a toddle with the balloon
still intact. That is the girls idea.
The idea of the men dancers is to
break as many balloons as possible
without stepping out Of the dance. On
n crowded floor the balloons have
about as much chance as a SNOWFALL
in--well, a warmer place than New
York. However prize is offered to
the woman who can emerge from the
maze Of the dance with her balloon
still flying.
One young lady at the Rendezvous
actually won the prize. But the pop
ping of the colored spheres reminded
one Of the popping Of champagne
corks.
Anyway, it's a great boon for the
balloon manufacturers. For the dance
floors of the average toddle sanctuary
are so small that the only way to keep
off ones partners balloon is to step
on her feet-and that is not very pop
ular with the fair sex.

smlIlna Porchss.

More houses are being built with
incloSed porches than ever before;
you may walk down long streets of
dear little homes whose porches smile
at you through tiny panes of glass.
You pass medium-sized places with
grounds, comfortable houses set back
from the road, and large mansions
in every one somewhere you catch the
glimpse Of an enclosed porch-room
Old-fashoned houses follow suit, and
back Of the rounded Colonial pillars
are fitted small-paned glass partitions
that inclose the porch as efIicaclously

 The protest alleged that the Ku KluX klan constitutes separate party from the Democratic party, constitution of the United States and the state of Arkansas, and that the winners in the primary be cer- tified as the candidates of the ku Klux party and that the candidates receiving the highest votes among those opposing the kian candidates be certified as the Democratic can didates. He also prepared peti- tion of mandamus in the circuit court, asking that the chairman and secretary of the committee cer- tify two separate sets of nominees.
 In support of his contention. MT. Vim cited the alleged application cards for membership in the klan, 'iH which the applicant Is said to set forth that he owes no allegiance 10 any political party. This and the headlines and language used in newspapers during the campaign and klen advertisements are set forth as proof that the klan is d political party. and that by signing an admission that no allegiance is owed to any political party, the klan members automatically cease to be- long to the Democratic party.
 Mr. Vim sets forth that under the Brundidge primary law various political parties arc required to hold their respective primaries on tho same day. Such being the case, he ] holds that the recent primary com bined the Ku kiux and Democratic party primaries and the nominees should be certified separately.

 New York. Aug. 12. Perhaps no other incident in recent history, the conduct of politicians not ex- cepted, has served to illustrate more vividly the recognized import ance Of public opinion than the railroad strike.
 In the Eastern district, at least. the desire of both railway eXecu- lives and strikers to see that the public gets the facts straight has been far more evident than any mutual concerV over the private exchange of information.
 Nor has been the disposition to keep the public informed through the frequent publication of state- ments. telegrams and ultimatums the only indication of the zeal of both sides that their position shall not be weakened either by errors of omission or commission. Each camp has been quick to seize upon any Alleged discrepancies in the announcements of the other

of Southern Russia is yfvided into three principal parts. The western mountainous border originally sup ported a great oak forest and has "a subsoil containing much more lime than is usually found in the oak growing soils here,
 Rich Brown Loam.
 The soil is a rlcn brown loam. East of these oak-forest soils is a belt of black soils which covers the greater part of Bcssarabia and a part of Moldavia and resembles the wheat growing soils of the cen tral part of the Dakotas, Nebraska and Kansas. Stil! farther east in Rumania are lighter colored brown soils which seem to correspond to the soils of the high plains Of Texas in the region about Anna rillo.
 Throughout the Athens basin in Greece lime carbonate aceunnla- tion is found ill the soil at shallow ucDtH, .cACtill lOtSliis W iCit t ittCh' accommodations of alluvium have talk cn puacc. The soils are comparable to those noal Tucson, Arizona. The soil of the plains Of Thessaly. in northern Greece, resemble that Of Western Nebraska beyond the sand hills country The color is dark, and there is an abundance of lime in the subsoil.
 Much of tho land to the north and east of Rome is poor and badly croded, the lack of crops other than sparse pasture being due to lack of soil. To the east there is much soil with compacted subsoil or hard pan much like that found in the San Joaquin Valley of California.
 In his trip across Northern France Dr. Marbut found the best grass lands in Europe. It is a limestone soil, much like that found in the famous Blue Grass region of Ken lucky, but shallower.
 German Soil Brown.
 
 In the western part of South Germany is a dark brown limestone soil that grows {; great deal of al falfa and much fruit Further east the land is more hlily and grows much grass, but the stock is not kept on pasture. These soils of Southern Germany also resemble those of the best part of Kentucky, the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and the Lebanon and Cumberland valleys of Pennsylvania. Tn the vicinity Of Leipzig the land in many respects is not unlike that of Cen tral Indiana, known as Miami soils
 The typical English farm soil was found to be similar to that in Lancaster county. Pennsylvania.

 Reports at Variance.
 Obviously. the reports of the rival camps were expected to be at wide variance, and there was no failure of either side to live up to eX- pectations fully.
 The ammunition of both has con sisted largely of reproductions and dcnials, each of the other.
 The much-wooed public. as a natural consequence, has been obliged to employ it's discrimina- tory faculties to an unusual degree in order to prevent itself from being mentally yanke4 hither and yon in an effort to pursue a happy middle path in forming it's opinions
 Following is an excerpt from a recent statement issued by an off ciaI of the Central Strike Com mittee, commenting presumably on the statement of the same day by an official of the Association of Railway Executives declaring that car shortages are less in evidence now than they were on the first day of three consecutive months prior to calling of the strike.
 Statement of Strikers
 "The brazen attempt of the rail- way executives to mislead the pub lie about the gravity of the bad order car situation will be a death blow to their propaganda From now on the public will suspect the so-called statistics which emanate from railroad offices. There is a highly organized and lavishly if nanced publicity campaign now being waged by the executives to convince the public that the strike is ineffective Those who are in icharge of this campaign will stop at nothing to gain their ends. This ! is fair example of what is going on, Most of the statements made lby the executives in the past ten days are gross exaggeration or will 1 full misrepresentation.

 While in Europe he covered be- tween 5000 and 5000 miles, col lecting 250 soil samples in France, Germany, Czccho-Slovakia Hungary, Rumania, Jueo-Slavia England, It. ally and Greece.
 The object of lis investigation, according to Dr. Marbut was to get samples and to see how nearly the great soil groups of the continent compare with those that are recog- nized in this counry.
 Dr. Marbut's report to Secretary of Agriculture Wallace gives the following comparisons of European and American soils:
 The soils in Central CZecho-Slo- vakia are almost identical with the soils in southeastern Pennsylvania, known as Chester soils.
 Hunoarian Soil Dark.
 The Hungarian plains, known To- cally as the PousZta, have a rich, dark soil, with plenty of lime that resembles in color the soils of Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois Tn other respects, how ever, this soil is more like the type found in Western Minnesota and the Eastern Dakotas, the eastern quarter of Nebraska, the extreme western part of Iowa and East Gen. tral Kansas. Corn, wheat, oats. bar Icy and alfalfa are the principal crops on this level land of Hungary.
