Birth Rate Declines
 in Montenegro Due
 to Losses During War

Cettinge. Montenegro. July B. There has been an alarming decrease in the birth rate of Montenegro, due to loss during the war of so many Of the ''Black Mountains" fighting men. The government is offering premiums to mothers who bear male children. The females now greatly outnumber the males.
 The incentives offered by the gov ernment to mothers of male children have resulted in pathetic appeals from the untutored peasant women to the American Red Cross nurses to give them some medicine to make a boy.''
 In Montenegro boys are considered much more valuation than girls, ana the constant prayer of the mountain dweller is that she may be blessed with a male child. This disparity in the sexes is largely the outgrowth of the days when Turkey held do- minion over the Balkans and when the liberty-loving Montenegrins had an ever-present supply of men to defend the homeland.
 In Montenegro the women do all the work. the men considering man. ual labor undi gnified. They feel 1t their chief duty to carry firearms and swords, talk politics and prepare for the next war.

 ID REBUILD CITY
Belgrade Rapidly Becoming City Beautiful at Hands of
 Industrious People
By Associated Press

Belgrade, Jugoslavia, July S.-To make this capital worthy setting to the magnificent territorial patrimony to which they have fallen heir. the Serbs are working swiftly. They are cutting new streets. paving them with asphalt instead of cobble stones, and erecting new dwellings, and public buildings. A prize of S75.000 was awarded recently for new city plan. Fourteen hundred new buildings went up in 1921, and 4,000 are going up this year. A new hotel has just been com pleted opposite the station. It was begun before the war, and used as a barrack. But its walls have been re- plastered and the building was com pleted and opened two days before the wedding of King Alexander.
 Prices Are High
 The city is stil lover populated Residence has been refused to 60.000 persons. Prices in the city are very high and should the local money im- prove in value, Belgrade will rival Constantinople as a city of huge ex- pense for living. House rents are prohibitive for the native, and for the foreigner they range upwards of s100 monthly.
 Farm land within 30 miles of Bel grade sells from s1oo to $500 an acre. big price when converted into the dinar currency of the country. The Hotel Moscow, within the city, re- gently sold for 14.000,000 dinars, or upwards of s200. .0oo, a price that astonished strangers.
 The best buildings within the city at the present time are the two palaces of the king, located centrally and adjoining. A parliament building is partially constructed. Other off eos for public use are planned. Some portion of the new American loan will be used for projected public buildings.

home and tomb will Fass under the shadow of the temple, going either by land or river.
 The first floor will be given over largely to a memorial hall, the com manding feature of which will be a heroic statue of Washington. How ever, as the memorial as a whole will be dedicated also to the memories of other great Masons of the country, there will be available to the grand lodges of each state space in the me- morial hall, in which they may en- shrine portraits or other tributes to Masons whose deeds place them be- side the first president.
 Such men as Paul Revere, repre- senting Massachusetts,; Dewitt Clin- ton, New York; Benjamin Franklin, Pennsylvania; Henry Clay, Lewis and Clark, Blair, Randolph and many oth- CTS have been suggested to be remem- bered thus as prominent history-mak- ing Masons.

 rooms surrounding the atrium will be given over Ito the uses of grand na- tional bodies of the order. At all times, except when used in ritual by the Alexandria lodge, the entire tenn pie will be open to the public.
 Masonic Portraits
 Above the hall. which will rfse in . clerestory from the ground floor, will be museum and Masonic art gallery. Here will be placed Masonic portraits and the many historic relics of Wash ington and the several other noted Virginians who from time to time have been members of the A1exandria lodge.

Other souvenirs include the clock which stood beside Wash ington's bed, and the pendulum cord of which was cut at the moment of his death; pocket knife given Wash ington by his mother and which was carried by him as boy and man; his old hour glass; the chair he occupied as worshipful master and which was used for 122 years, and tho Williams portrait of Washington, of which he approved.
 With these will, also be placed the spade used in the ground breaking ceremony by Louis A. Watres president of the Masonic Ma tional Memorial association. As this simple ceremony was planned hastily and completed on an hours notice, no special tools were provided, but a workman's spade lying nearby at the time was utilized.
 The 32-acre tract surrounding the temple has already been obtained by the association. The larger portion, about 22 acres. valued at more than $1,000, ,e90, was bought of the city of Alexandria at nominal figure, which made it a gift.
 Ceremonies of corner stone laying were planned for next November 4, the anniversary of the inauguration of the country's first President, but have been advanced to early October. The day has not yet been set. but the program includes participation by President Harding, Chief Justice Taft and many other notables and high government officials.

INTEREST CENTERS AROUND WEDDING
 OF MARQUIS HUNTLY
Lights of Publicity Shine About Marquis After Mar riage to American Widow
 Is Announced
Ky Associated Press

London. July S.-The announce ment that the Marquis of Huntly was going to marry an American widow has caused the limelight of publicity to shine far more brightly upon him than if his castle had been burned down by Sim Feiners. Several Irish peers have had that distinction thrust upon them of late but they have not, in consequence, been written up any thing like as extensively as has the steptugenarian marquis.
 He is 75 years old. He is described as the handsomest member of tho peerage and the most courtly man. nered He celebrated his golden wedding in 1919. His first wife died few months later. There were no children by Shat marriage.
 He is the premier marquis of Scot-' land. He has II other titles besides that of marquis. He has been a lord in- waiting in his time and has cap tained the gentlemen-at- arms. Both are purely ornamental posts The former pays something like 700 pounds a year and the latter rouno thousand. He has never had to do any real hard work, but despite the popular American notion that hard work, and plenty of 1t is essential to health and longevity he is remark ably robust and, according to one chroniciler who claims to know him personally thinks nothing of walk ing 15 miles day" There are not many working American mil lionaires who could do that at 75. He comes of ancient and first-rate fight ing stock and has all sorts of blue blood in his veins. His ancestor, Sir Adam Gordon of Huntly, was kill ed at the battle of Homidon in 1402. The third earl commanded with Lord Hons the left wing of the Scots army at Flodden Field.
 The fourth earl was killed in &C., tion, while the next Huntly knew what 1t was to be sentenced to tho block and to find himself chancellor of Scotland on his reprieVe.

FRENCH COLONIAL EXHIBITION WINS
 GENERAL FAVOR
Indo-China Temple Angkor on Exhibition Proves Feature Attraction, as Well as
 Many Products

Marseilles, July S.-France's colo nial exposition is proving great attraction to visitors, especially to Americans. The party of prominent American bankers, which recently came to Marseilles was particularly interested in the great exhibit from French Indo China, the near neigh bor of the Philippines and territory so rich and extensive that it plays a great part in Pacific problems.
 French Indo-China has a popula- tion of 17,000,O00 as against 76O0, 900 in the Philippines, and it's area is about 25s,000 square miles, or 144.- 900 square miles more than the Phil ippines. French Indo-China is S7,000 square miles larger than all the Jap anese islands and has only one-fourth the population.
 The chief building of the French Indo-C China exhibit is a reproduction of the fantastic temple of Angkor, in Cambodia. This mammoth temple with it's fine fretted towers and magnificent approaches, protected by animals, is the most striking fea- ture of the exposition. In fact it is doubtful whether any exposition ever offered more impressive and unique building. The temple stands in a secluded spot, with much open space about 1t. It is reproduced in con crete and plaster made in excellent imitation of marble. Pagodas in the same style of architecture flank the main entrance and are surrounded by lagoons. No detail of a Buddhist temple has been omitted in develop ing the etxerior.
 Indo-Chinese Products
 Within are exhibits of Indo-Chi- nese products, Cotton, rice, rubber, coal. hemp timber, wool and various other raw materials yielded by Ton king, Cambodia Cochin-China and Annam are shown, together with paintings, photographs and cinema pictures Illustrating the scenery and varied industries.
 Marseilles calls itself the colonial capital of the French empire. Ships from this port radiate to every inn portant seaport in colonial. France, which is second only in extent and wealth to colonial England, and upon which Marseilles boasts the sun never sets.
 In 1906 the first colonial exposi- tion was held in Marseilles. This was to be a decennial event, but the war prevented holding another till this year. Thirty-six hectares of beauti- fully-wooded park are devoted to the exposition. Tunis Algeria, Mo rocco, Madagascar, French West Af- rica, Equatorial Africa and the French West Indies all have build ings. many of which are of unusual charm.
 Marseilles itself is congress of nations. In normal times colonials of varying shades. from the light yellow of the Mongolian to sthe ebony black of the Senegalese are to be seen in the strets. But the exposition has attracted large crowds of distin- guished colonials whose bright cos tunes make the avenues and build ings of the exposition even more fas- cinating than the interesting exhib- it's.
 In addition to the display of CO., lonal resources there are also art. machinery automobile and com merce halls as well as various gov ernment buildings and a street de- voted wholly to amusements. The exposition will continue till Novem- ber

RUSSIAN CHURCH
 GONE ID PIECES
Organization Is Split by Action of Soviets-PrieSts Un-
 der Arrest

Moscow, July S.-THhe great Rus sian Orthodox church, which for cen turies was probably the most import ant politically in Russian life, seems to have gone to pieces itself, rather than to have had any effect upon the Bolshevik government, in it's first direct conflict with the Soviet regime.
 What may have been the underly- ing purpose of the communist gov ernment in directing the acquisition of church treasures for relief of the famine sufferers, the requisition it. self has succeeded in splitting the church. Scores of priests are under arrest and revolutionary tribunals throughout the country are trying them for counter-revolution or theft and secretion of church valuables without any particular resentment on the part of the parishoners.
 Til<on Abdicates
 Patriach Tikon. the head of the church. abdicated when faced with trial by the civil courts on the charge of opposing the acquisition. One of the men he suggested as his pos sible successor, the Metropolitan Benjamin, of Petrosrad, is also to be put on trial, and in the meantime the control of church affairs has been turned over to a group known popularly as the red clergy"
 This group pledged to simplify the church services and to work in har- f..4 H. already has taken over a number of churches. It is headed by Bishop Antonin, of Moscow, who early in the conflict tbat developed over the requistitfon treasures, volunteered to assist the Sovet government. Now Antonin is planning to secure close cooperation between church and state by appointment in the Russian cabinet of a eemmissar for church affairs.
 Little Respect
 The actual value of church treas ures of Russia probably was several hundred million dollars, but the re- quisitioners obtained but small proportion of this amount. They secured tons of silver, much gold, and thousands of precious stones, but for every diamond studded mitre, the requisitioners found one or two similar articles listed as stolen or missing. For the theft of these. and for open agitation against requisition there is scarcely a province in Rus sia where churchmen- have not been arrested. In addition to the eight priests, one woman and two laymen sentenced to death at Moscow. and the four sentenced at Shuya. other death sentences are being imposed. Except at Shuya, however, none has been carried out, and it is generally believed in Moscow that most of those convicted will be pardoned or receive reduced sentences. General Brussiloff, one of the heroes of the Russian war against Germany and Austria. has interceded for his daugh- ter in law, Mrs. Barbara Ivanova Brussiloff. the woman sentenced to death in the Moscow trial.
 Old residents of Moscow have told the correspondent that the arrests of the clergy were not resented be- cause Russians ordinarily had very little respect for the priests. They were devout in their church worship but regarded the clergy. particularly in the villages. as men who charged them for all the services the church rendered. making them pay for births. marriages and deaths.

present to the banquet and do their share.
 This will obviate the necessity Of going to any country spot, and the effect will be just as disastrous to the health and temper.
 Boarding house life. either at the seashore or in the country, may be had by taking the bath tub and all the good furniture out of the house, and ordering the grocer and butcher to bring you only the same kind of food that they are selling to board- ing house customers in your town.
 To make the experience complete 1t will be well to invite several dis agreeable people to come and live with you for couple of weeks, and allow them to sit on the front porch and complain about the food. and to discuss you and your family and your probable inability to pay your board when 1t falls due in tones that you can plainly overhear.
 If they do not do this in your pres ence, take out the walls in your bed rooms and substitute them with walls of building paper, and you can easily hear their opinlon of you while you are trying to go to sleep at night.
 By following these simple rules you may have an average American va cation, at cost for the whole va cation period that would not support you for a single day at real sum mer resort.
