COLONIAL PAPER POPULAR
New Style Of Interior Decorating
 Comes Into Vogue

CHICAGO, March 17.-Colonial or scenic wall paper is the latest fash ion in interior decorating-and one of the oldest.
 Scenic paper was the rage of 75 years ago, our grandfathers say, and the craze has returned in many fashionable Chicago homes. Plain walls and panels now are out of style and spring decorating must have touch of the picturesque to make tie drawing room look like 1928.
 Until the spring scenic wall paper was retained only in old southern mansions that were decorated years ago. Scenes on the paper were views of Niagara Falls, West Point, Nat crai Bridge of Virginia, the Pali- saGes, Napoleon's campaigns and a Lost of others. Old Egyptian scenes are expected to be especially popu- lar because of the wide interest in the old King Tut -Ankh Amen the past few weeks.
 Stewart Waring, president Of the large wall paper manufacturing firm paper is again becoming favorite among wealthy owners.
 Some of the reproductions are from old prints, the originals of which have been preserved by mu- seums and historical soeities," War ing said The colorings have been toned down considerably and are not so vivid as in the earlier designs"

MUST PAY DAMAGES
English Government Owes Vast Sum
 To Irish LOyalists, Claim

LONDON March 1.-The British government has liability to pay the British loyalists in southern Ireland whose property has been destroyed nearly $15e, ,O00,00g according to the claims made by meeting of Irish loyalists held In London recently. Lord Carson, the leader of the Irish unionists, was the principal speak CT. Sir William Davidson, memb CT of parliament, presided.
 The chair man was responsible for the estimate of damages suffered. He said that before the truce the claims amounted to 1o.000,000 pounds but they had since risen to 30.00o,- 900 and as villages are now being sent into the air wholesale, no doubt these claims are rapidly in- creasing."
 Lord Carson gave examples of the ruin in Ireland. The Great South ern and Western railway had los. practically all it's capital, amounting to millions of pounds. and all the people who held shares were ruined. He cited numerous cases of individ- ual suffering, told of Irish ladies recently rich who had been reduced to working in England as servants, and declared these were examples from thousands.

RAP ID GROWTH IN
 USE 0F TELEPHONE
 SHOWN BY OLD AO
Entire System Has Changed Since Early Days-Minis- ter Was First Subscriber
 for Telephone

DALLAS, Texas, March 17.-Locai telephone men have come across the first advertisement of a telephone company. It was published in. July.
 lS77 in the newspapers of New Haven, Conn. This advertisement made It clear that subscribing for telephone in those early days con sisted in leasing an instrument and not in buying service as is the case now.
 "The proprietors keep the instru- ment In repair without charges" said the advertisement, "and the user has no expense except the maintenance
 of the line. It needs only wire be- i tween the two stations, though ten
 or twenty miles apart, with a tele-
 phone at each end.'
 1 Only One Subscriber.
 l Despite this inducement and the
 further inducement that "the outside 1 of the telephone Is of mahogany. 1 finely polished, and an ornament to any room or office," only one sub scriber resulted. The Rev. John E, Todd came forward and agreed to pay SIS a year for telephone. He Is believed to be the first subscriber in the world to commercial eX- change.
 According to local telephone off, cials the trouble was not with the
 advertising nor with the matter of stringing lines. The public simply had to be shown that 1t could not get along without telephones. Therefore, the records show a canyasser was sent out to make personal explana- ton of the telephone and 200 con a service was given January 21, 1S7S, , to 30 subscribers. The first exchange was opened January 2S, 1878. The Texas public service bureau of information says that from the be- ginning, less than fifty years ago, the people of the United States have come to need the telephone until there are now sixteen million telephones In service, or about one to every eight people. In Texas there is one to every five people.

HAP PSbURC JE: WELLS SW|NDLED r R ! M
 |LL-FATED FAMILY
Charles and Zita Lost For- tune in Precious Stones in Their Flight to
 Budapest

GANEvA, March, 17-"A swindle without precedent" is the final yer dlct just pronounced by the federal court of Geneva in trying to account for the disappearance of the price less crown jewels of the Hapsburg dynasty.
 How they were stolen under the pretext of sale from nobleman to whom the ex-Emperor had entrusted them just before he made his last attempt to regain the throne, has come out in the court to which the distyacted ex-Empress turned in hope ofNecovering some of the gems.
 The herlooms are priceless. The value of one million pounds placed upon them is only nominal, and prob ably represents only about 60 per cent of their value. One matchless diadem, worn by the Empress Zita, was set with four of toe only eight pink diamonds known to exist. Charles Carried Jewels
 Charles carried the jewels in a special case, and they accompanied him on his wanderings. When he en- tered the airplane which was to take the ex- Empress and himself to Buda- pest, he handed the case to his aide de- camp, Baron Steiner. When
 
 failed, and the royal couple was ex- fled to Madeira, creditors descended upon Baron Steiner.
 He thought of the jewels and. ob- tainine permission from an aunt of Charles to dispose of them, he opened negotiations with a tria of international jewellers. On their agreement to buy the jewels, and isiving 300000 francs on account, he allowed them to be taken.
 All the Baron knows is that they were taken over the frontier from Switzerland. and he has never seen them or sou of the balance of the mcney since. The jewelers at first claimed that they had been cheated by Go-betweens."
 What the loss meant to the ex- Emperor may be imagined when it is said that at the time of his ex- ile they were his only source of in come. Charles, with this increased worry. and also the knowledge that Zita was again to become a mother, tramped hatless and hazard over Inc hills at Madeira. His hair turned white, he contracted pneumonia, and died within few weeks.
 Thus the jewels of the Hapsburgs added another victim to their prob- ably already large number.

A REAL PIRATE
Arthur M. Harris in Adventur Mopuvipe

Arthur M. Harris in Adventure | Magazine.
 | If you want to know real pirate
 "a true terror of the seas-mect MT.
 Blackboard: called, in what could
 scarcely have been an innocent child
 hood, Edward Thatch. or Teach. l He, not Kidd. is the fellow you
 have in, mind when you think of a pirate. He was the genuine plank walking, marooning, swashbuckling
 boy of the seven seas.
 l Blackboard. Folks got along with
 him best who addressed him with
 that pretty name. He had no use
 at all for Mister Thatch"-plain
 aft; for his pride, his pleasure, his life were in his beard; an enormous
 bush, unusually. weirdly,. wonderfully black; huge mat of hair. really be- ginning at his ears, arching across
 his nose, and ending with his knees
 a regular jungle from behind which
 his veined and boozy eyes peeped like those of a beast spotting it's prey the
 while the long, leathery lips slavered
 with the thirst for blood. Nice look | ing chap--very.
 1 He might not take time to wash his nose-the only island of skin in that sea of hair-but no hour was too long or too tedious which was spent in
 curling. preening, pulling and twist ing that beard into the most fantas- tic shapes and effects. One day he would swagger out on deck with his chin the axle for a half-dozen spoke of tightly rolled whiskers; another, it might be one great spike, thrust out ward and upward in a unicorn sym
 bol. Practically had fashion for every mood, especially for the bel | ligerent.
 People had to keep out of his cabin | then-when the skipper was trim | ming up his beard for fight. Really he was the first patentee of fright | fitness. That was his speciality. When action threatened, those whis-
 kers were wrought into an appear
 ance of ferocity beyond depicting. Nor was that all--he had other ar
 tistic touches in the nightmare line.
 For instance, there were those long,
 thin, slow burning matches which he
 stuck all around his head, beneath
 his hat-alight they looked as if the
 inferno had vomited forth a demon
 -there were the three braces of pis-
 tols over his shoulders; the two dirks
 in his brilliant Caribbean sash, and
 the cutlas that never stammered. A gulp of raw Jamaica rum and he was ready to eat 'ein alive.

GOVERNMENT CHANGES
Old COmmlssars At VladlvOstok Have
 Been Removed

VLADIvOSTOK, March 17.-Thera has been a great change among the political representatives of the government. Practically all the old commissars have been removed and a new lot, with stricter ideas, have been sent here from Moscow. One of the late arrivals said the government deemed this measure necessary in order to bring a little of the terror into the district and to impress the people with the strength of the government. This they think neces- sary as the working classes of the district have not had to undergo all the hardships which their fellow countrymen in Russia have lived through and are therefore inclined to be more independent.

WATERS DISAPPEARING
British Servants Being Displaced By
 Foreign Immigrants.

LONDON, March 1.-The British waiter is gradually disappearing and foreigners are taking his place. This Is particularly noticeable In Soho and some of the leading West End restaurants which are managed by Italians, Greeks and Polish Jews, who prefer walters of their own race rather than the -Englishman.
 During the war Soho became all most English in character, but of late the foreign invasion has changed conditions. Foreign managers nat urally help their own countrymen. but another reason is found in the fact that foreigners will work for considerably less money than the average Englshman. There are also waiter agencies which find jobs for the foreigner in the smaller off street" restaurants and collect high fees from the applicant as well as take a proportion of his weekly earnings.

STEEL REFINING PROCESS

A new plant has been put into op- eration in England, using electric furnaces for refining steel by a pro cess somewhat analogous to the du- plex process of making steel with . combination of the Bessemer con. verter and open-hearth furnace. Scrap steel is electrically melted and refined in continuous manner in a
 large primary furnace, from which
 at intervals. about third of the mol ten bath is drawn eff into a smaller secondary furnace for finishing. Metallurgically, this arrangement
 combines the advantages of operat- Ing continuously plant of large out
 put. With the ability to produce small quantities of steel of varying composition. Electrically. the power l factor is improved by the mainte- nance of molten baths, and the load
 factor increased by. the continuous working.
