In Austria Given
 Impetus

Vienna. April 29-The temperance movement recently started in Austria is gaining impetus. at least in pub hcity. It has served to arouse the liquor interests who have held a big meeting in opposition and attempted to refute the figures officially pub lished of the country's immense booze bill.
 The government has agreed with the Social Democratic proposal to make a start by making the sale of liquors to youths unlawful. A meas ure is in preparation but some dis agreement has resulted over the ques- tion of age limit. The Socialists wish to place it at IS years.
 The Arbeiter Zeitung, official So- cialist organ. has replied energetically to the charge of the opposition which is their principal card that prohib.- tion in the United Stataes has result ed in greatly increased criminality. The newspaper prints American sta- tfsticS of empty prisons, of prisons and correctional institutions for sale, increased savings, banks deposits and similar propa ganda.

Find Grave Of Martyr Lincoln's
 Grandfather

Louisville, Ky. April 29-The great of Abraham Lincoln, grandfather of the martyred President, has been found in a churchyard near here, in the belief of several Louisvillians who recently have completed an eX- tensive investigation.
 The investigators found two stones their inscriptions plotted away by long exposure to the elements-which they believe mark the grave of the Emancipator's grandfather who was killed by Indians in 17S6 within sight of his cabin and before the eyes of his three sons.
 According to R. c. Ballard Thurs ton, who has made a preliminary in- vestgation of deeds in the Jefferson county courthouse, the examination warrants the belief the land compos- ing the churchyard is part of the Lin- coin property, which included 400 acres.
 Additional details of the death of the Emancipator's grandfather have been revealed by the investigation, it was stated
 When their father fell mortally wounded Mordecai ran to the house and procured a rifle while Josiah darted for a nearby fort to obtain aid. Thomas, then a boy of nine years, re- mained with his father.
 According to the findings, an Indian seized Thomas and was about to scalp him when Mordecai returned and shot the savage to death. Thomas was released and later became the father of the martyred President.

In The Theatres
POII'S.

If YOU were to take passage on c French liner. with liberal letter-of- credit: if in time you reached Monte Carlo, that gloriously sunny Paradise of the Riviera, and there watched others. and yourself indulged in play at the Casino tables; if you dined at the Cafe de Paris, wandered under the southern moon in the famous gar dens, and indu1ged for the moment in any of the passing phases of folly you would return with the memory of a seeming dream-So rare and strange is the life you would observe.
 And yet you be as innocent as a babe of the real Monte Carlo-its true undercurrents of life; it's beautiful an epitome of the wealth of the earth; it's soldiers of fortune, it's rogues, rakes and roues, both male and fe- male, and their parasites and their prey.
 You would perhaps see on the sur face the elegancies and eXtravaganc of the ultra smart set, and perhaps note the posting of splendor and squalor in the crowds that throng about the halls of the goddess of For tune. Of the motives and acts be- reath this comedy of elegance you would be, could be but dinly aware. To get behind the scenes would re- qu1re such wealth. leisure and loss of character as but few, even in this wicked world. would care/to give.
 Faithfully to recreate this atmos- Dhere and truthfully to present the drama of existence there, Universal has spent nearly two years in time and more than a million dollars in money.
 Beginning Sunday night, Pons the atre will bare for you a magic screen, and there in the comfort of a theatre seat you may store up for yourself a memory more impressive, and of deeper significance to you than the overseas journey itself.
 The ultra feature. Foolish Wives" will be at Polls the entire week.
