VAST RICHES OF OLD SPAIN
Luxury Surrounding Grandees OF
Three Centuries Ago Can Hard
ly Be Imagined.

The luxury displayed at the present
age by the great of Spain can in no
way compare with that of their ances-
tors of three centuries ago.
The duke of Albuquerque, we were
told recently by the marques of San
Simon, can boast of being the owner
of many pieces of furniture made of
silver left to him by his father.
In order to weigh and make the in
ventory of the silver and gold table
sets which were left, it was necessary
to devote two hours per day for a
period of six weeks. There were / 400
dozens of dinner plates, 500 large plat
tiers and 700 smaller ones, all else be-
ing in proportion to this magnificence.
Among other relics he has 40 silver
step-ladders which were used to as
cend to the tops of the cupboards
which held these treasures.
The duke of Alba, who says that
his father was not the richest, had
left him 600 dozens of dinner plates
and 800 platters made of wrought
silver.

"PosSUM AND later Tune"
Georgia Editor Also Writes of Other
Good Things to Eat and
Drink in Seasons.

Persimmon beer is here. That season
in which this moderate type of ''home
brew is being served from large bar
rels at the country farmhouses. Really
this drink, when properly made, is de
licious, is suggestive of a few other
things that a tired, hungry editor
longs to see. It is. suggestive, first of
all, of the ginger cakes, like our
nanny psed to bake large, dark
brown home affairs that really had a
flavor of ginger in them-ginger that
must have been gathered when the
ginger crop was at it's best. It sug-
gests the season of the ''possum and
later" feasts-times when the COM
munity life is astir by the fumes from
the baking pan Did you know that
'possum am good?" 1t is, when
properly prepared, a meat that is I'M
equaled, especially if you barricade the
brown ribs and fleaks of flesh with
several big yellow yams-yams that
can be seen partly in and partly out
of the rich, brown gravy. Hold on
minute. Don't do anything rash. This
is enough to sharpen the appetite of
any man, we admit but never cross
the bridge until you get to it.-Walton

Angle of Flight Indicated.

Mention has been made of the diff
flculty experienced by the pilot of an
airplane in accurately determining
whether he is travelling up, down. or
parallel with the earth. The position
taken by the plane is termed the angle
of attack, meaning the angle at which
it is attacking the air, and to deter
mine this an arrangement has been
brought out, having a scale which
moves with the strut, and a balanced
Indicator glat always mainlulns d
position parallel with the earth. This
apparatus is located near the aviator,
and the inventor says he will be easily
able to tell whether his craft is travel
ing on an inclined or level course.

All un.

The presiding officer at a Washing
ton banquet recently introduced an
innovation that will be appreciated by
all baseball fans who have learned to
practice and revere ii. as an attraction.
No doubt the banqueters enjoyed the
surprise.
There had been two or three rather
!ong-winded speeches following a
somewhat Gargantuan feast. The com
9any had, in consequence, been seated
continuously for more than two hours
Suddenly arising as if to announce the
lext spellbinder, the presiding officer
cejoiced all hearts by saying:
Gentlemen. it's the seventh inning

Youth Preserver

A noble life aim is more than an
ambition preserver; it is also a pow
erful health and youth preserver. 1t
is a tonic that prevents premature
aging. When the faculties are en-
ployed in working out splendid des-
tiny we are happy, contented; the
mind is so fully occupied that it can
not deteriorate or lose its buoyancy.
And it is the mind that keeps the
body young.

Solution Of "Lake of Mystery Sought.
An attempt to solve the secret of
Lake Eyre, called the mystery lake,
in the interior of Australia, soon will
be made by a scientific expedition.
The lake is 400 miles from the near
est sediment. Seven rivers from the
hills, miles away, penetrate Australia's
great interior desert and tumble their
contents into the lake. In rainy sea-
son these rivers become 1ormous
flooded areas. Without any apparent
outlet Lake Eyre, an inland sea as
the result of the flooded rivers, con-
tracts and becomes a lake again in a
surprisingly short time

EOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND rail
4 way shop workers were called out
ION strike, effective Saturday morning
and the order included also all Pull
man shopmen in the country. An equal
number of maintenance of way EN-
ployees was expected to join in the
walkout, though as their strike vote
had not been completely canvassed, it
was said their action might be delayed
a few days.
The strike was set on the day when
the rail workers were to undergo cut
4 of S134,OOO,OOO in wages, and when the
$500, 100000 freight rate reduction
went into effect. B. M. Jewell, head
of the shop crafts, had told the rail-
way executives the strike would be
sanctioned unless they agreed to ig-
more the federal labor boards wage
reduction order, TO restore certain
working rules which the board had
eliminated and TO abolish the farming
out" system adopted by some of the
railroads The railway homogeneous
would not yield, and the strike deci-
sion was promptly sanctioned by the
following six international union pres
idents, constituting the mechanical
section of the railway employees de-
partment: William I'll. Johnston, In
ternational Association Of Machinists;
j. w. Kline, International Brotherhood
of Blacksmiths. Drop Forgers and
Helpers of America; ]. A. Franklin.
International Brotherhood of Boiler
makers, Iron ShipbuiIders and Helpers
of America; ]. ]. Hynes, Amalgamated
Sheet Metal Workers international al
lance; James P. Noonan, Internation-
al Brotherhood of Electrical Workers.
and Martin f. Ryan, Brotherhood of
Railway Car Men OF America.
Railway managers were confident
that the strike would not greatly
handicap transportation operations, at
least for some time. They had antici-
pated it by making such provisions as
were possible, and besides, as has been
noted before, the train service men
and dispatchers are not involved in
the present controversy, and will con-
tinue at work.
There was some hope that Ben
Hooper, chairman of the labor board.
could sstave off the strike by persuad-
ing certain roads to cancel their con-
tracts for shop work, but it was con-
sidered rather unlikely that this would
satisfy the unions. Furthermore, bit
ter internal strife in the labor board
developed. The majority members.
comprising the group representing the
public and the railways, issued a state
ment that labor members, in their dis
senting opinions, were sowing some
of the seeds that have terminated and
blossomed into industrial anarchy in
Russia" that they had advised the
employees to strike against the deci-
sion of the board" and had advanced
''incendiary arguments to the railroad
employees in favor of striking against
a decision of the board"
The board called the shop crafts in
ternationaI officers and the railway ex-
ecutives TO appear before it for an in
quiry.

SubcOmm1SS1On on debts the details or
Russia's budget covering extraordinary
receipts and expenditures so that the
other powers may make a careful
study Of Russia's financial prospects.
The subcommission then practically
agreed upon cancellation of the Rus
sian war debts and a moratorium on
pre-war debts and interest. The
financial information thus dragged
from the Russians has hitherto been
kept scrupulously secret by them.
Litvinoff told American CORE
spondents that the soviet government
had issued decree recognizing
post-revolution rights to private
property of all kinds except land. The
allied and neutral delegates said that
if this decree were genuine, it was the
most important move the Russians had
made since the adoption of their new
economic policy.
y ERMAN nationalists who had
" been planning great demonstra.

overshot their mark by the assassina-
ton of DR.. Walter Rathenau, the min
lister Of foreign affairs and one of the
country's wealthiest industrial mag
mates. The socialists and other groups
were so aroused by the murder that
drastic steps were taken which effec-
tually stopped the proposed uprisings.
Chancellor Wirth and the cabinet ina-
posed restrictions that approached
martial law, Estate of emergency
being declared. The monarchists.
however, did not remain silent and
their societies joyfully celebrated the
death of Rathenau. In Bavaria, where
they are especially strong, the restrfci
tive measures were ignored by popu-
lace and officials alike Stormy scenes
took place in the reichstag in Berlin,

murderers. In the German section Of
Upper Silesia alone was there any

ment troops and nationalist fought In
several towns, and the affair then de-
veloped into a pogrom, many Jews
being robbed and killed.

was doing his best to restore relations
between Germany and the allied ma
tons. In France his murder was re-
garded as probably ending any policy.

IRISH FREE STATE forces, with
the aid Of English guns and advice
fought fiercely with the republican ir-
regulars in the very heart Of Dublin
last week, and at this writing the
issue of the battle is undecided. The
republicans held possession of the
Four Courts building and also of
several hotels in the vicinity. The
Free Skaters surrounded the Four
Courts and attacked with rifle and
artillery fire and bomb-throwers, and
by Friday the casualties were some
where near one hundred. The attack

to injure the handsome building and
to spare the invaluable records it con-

suit for an injunction filed in
United States district court here
today by Clara Mason, owner Oh
the Peacock coal mine, Indiana.
The court is asked in the suit to
restrain union miners from con-
tinuing activities aimed at closing
so-calIed wagon mines of the
state. John L. Lewis was made
defendant to the suit as president
of the United Mine Workers Oh
America and as an individual.

was held that labor organization
is s,able. The bill is voluminous

stances connected with the actiVi-
ties of crowds of miners that have
