International Match-makers
Are Having a Hard Time Mow

result of foreign assistance, their op-
portunities are improving. sVienna' s
old gaiety is coming back. Its fash
ions attract foreign women, and
music-lovers flock to its opera. Tour
lists who visit Italy also go to Aus
tria in large numbers.
Have Hard Time In Berlin.
In Berlin commercial matchmakers
are having harder time. The de-
cline in travel and upset political
conditions work against them to q
greater degree than in any of the
other European capitals, and the
failure of war hatreds to pass away
makes it difficult to do anything with
principals who were enemies in the
great struggle.
One professional marriage agent. n
titled woman who was once great
success in her profession. is constant
ly seen about the prominent hotels
in Berlin, and she has not lost her
ability to meet nearly all promising
visitors. But she has collected a
commission only once in the last
twelve months.
The agencies which advertise ex-
tensively and arrange marriages on
strictly business basis, without So
cial trimmings, are faring far better
than the agents who specialize in
aristocrats. Throughout central Eu-
rope the daily papers are filled with
the advertisements of marriage
agencies which describe their clients
in great detail. give their financial
status and requirements, leaving only
the names unmentioned.

EXPENDITURES OF
GOVERNMENT ARE
EXCEEDING INCOME
Director Lord Says Ex-
penSes Must Be
Reduced.

Washington, ID. c., Aug. @. - 4
warning was issued blythe budget bu-
reau that sharp cuts must be made
in federal expenditures during the
coming months to bring the govern
ment's expense for the current fiscal
year within three billion dollars.
.While the July expenditures, which
We're larger than receipts, represented
a reduction as compared with July a
year ago, Director Lord, in formal
statement, declared greater reductions
must be brought about in carrying out
the policy Of economy.
The deficit shown by the treasury
operations for July was regarded by
the director as unimportant. The con-
dition, his statement said, was tenn
porary and although likely to continue
through August, would be corrected in
September when the next quarterly
payment of income and profits taxes is
due.
Income and profits taxes yielded
only S36.000,000 in July and Director
Lord said such an amount could not
be taken as representative of receipts
from that source. since July was not
month in which heavy payments
are made.

GERMAN OLD GUARD
WEEPS OVER ISSUE
OF NEW ARMY LIST
Diminutiue Proportions
Bear Striking Contrast
to Old Days.

Berlin, Aug. @. - Germany's first
army list since 1914 has just been
issued, and its diminutive proportions
bear striking contrast to the fat vol.
umes of prewar days. 1t is the first
time that one book has included he
military forces of all Germany.
The shades of Bluecher, of the older
Won Moltke, and of other illustrious
leaders, who made the name of Ger
man militarism a thing of awe, must
shudder at the decapitations that have
occurred since their day.
Up to the 1914, the peace time reg
ular army of the fatherland embraced
some 100000 men and officers. besides
host of reserves. During the late
hostiiSes, this strength swelled al
one time to more than 100000. Then
came the Treaty of Versailles, and at
one swoop clipped the German army
to 100000. Ten thousand of this
dwarfed array were permitted TO be
officers and members of the admin
Gone are the general staff and all
the high training Institutions so long
the pride Of Prussia. Four small ser.
vice schools are permitted, and these
are for officer candidates only. Gone
too. are whole branches of the ser.
vice: The foot-artillery. aviation and
the aircraft construction, the railway
troops. and the great technical organ
ization which attended to the sol
diers' welfare and looked after the
men on leave.
Princes and others of the higher no.
bility have completely disappeared
from the officers corps, and there are
not as many barons, counts and so
on as in the days of wore. A muster
roll call would sound strangely diff
ferent from those of decade ago.
Many of the 'old guard" are read
ing the new list with tears in their
eyes. Many Socialist and Repub-
lican is reading it with a smile, as he
recalls the hardshi of the mailed
fist" militarism in the old days when
an emperor tenanted the great pal
ace looking down Inter den Linden.

American Women Are
Growing Wary Of Penni-

Weddings Of Pre-war Days
Seem to Be a Thing Of the
Past in Europe.

Berlin. Aug. 6. - international
,hc men and women
who used TO do a thriving business
marrying off titles and high social
position to wealthy plebeians, have
been hard hit by the war and the
resultant financial distress. Marriage
among humber folks all over Europe
has increased under the distress, but
not so with the leaders of fashion.
June, the month of weddings, has
not produced the large number OF
society weddings which always char
acterized the month in pre-war days
This is especially noticeable in CEN
trail Europe. Fashionable churches,
hotels, cafes, dressmaking shops
jewelry shops and flower shops dc
not show the old-time June activity.
R0mances Are Fewer.
Foreign tourists are not visiting
central Europe in large numbers, and
the residents of central Europe are
not travelling abroad. The romances
which used to begin on ocean trips
are fewer and fewer. American and
English women with comfortable for
tunes are not wandering about as
they did in old times.
Travel is not so inviting as it used
to be, and families from the lands OF
good exchange apparently have little
desire TO expose their daughters tC
the sort of tragedies which have
grown out of many international
marriages recently.
Titles which carry with them bank.
rupt estates are apparently at a
great discount. The uncertainty OF
titles TO baronial possessions makes
ambitious mothers hesitate. They
have seen too many penniless princes
and counts and barons rafting about
Paris and other European capitals,
trying to market their family tree.
But the professional matchmakers
have not given up hope and are still
active. Vienna has numDer of

MANS NOSE SENSITIVE ORGAN
How extraordinarily Minute Particles

Do you know why you have to "snlff
the air" when trying to detect a faint
Odor2 1t Is because the nerves govern
ing the sense of smell are not located,
as is generally supposed. In the nasal
passages, but In an area of sensitive
membrane about the size of dime
and located high above each nostrll,
A portion of the hairllke tips of the
olfactory nerves terminating In this
membrane receives the sense impress

cause of the position of this membrane

1t IL necessary to draw aside current
of air by shifting before the exact
shade Of odor can be determined.
The effects of snuff and smelling
salts have nothing to do with the sense
Of smell. They react only on the lin
ings Of the nasal passages.
So far as psychologists have been
able to learn, smells are pigeonholed
In the brain as visual impressions.
Each smell carries associations good
or bad and these associated images are
brought forth by the brain when par
ticular nerves are excited.
The reaction Of the brain to an odor
depends also to a large extent on the
sense of taste. Only by combining the
brain reports of these two senses can
odors be accurately catalogued.
Degenerate as the olfactory nerve
sense in man has become through evo-
luton, 1t still retains the marvellous
ability to detect one part Of camphor
In four hundred thousand parts of air,
and one part of vanillin in ten million
parts of air. As for the obnoxious
smell mercaptan, the human nose can
detect the presence Of one part In
twenty-five trilllon parts of air.-Popu-
