NEW AUSTRIAN COINAGE
 GETS DIGNIFIED NAME
Recent Issue of Silver Coins to be Called "sliilings'' by National
 Assembly.

Vienna, Feb. s.-An issue of silver coins to be called 'shillings' has been authorized by the national as- sembly. They arc to be in denomina- tions of one-half shillings one and two shiilngs, the shilling to be equal 10 10000 present Austrian crowns. Base metal tokens of 100 and 200 crowns also will be issued. Ten thou sand crowns today equals IA cents.
 The term shilling has called forth much discussion. One ingenious arr gument in Justification of the adoption of word associated the world over with British coinage. is that it is act ually a German word. This has been defended al length. but the general belief is that the term was selected as a camouflage to lend dignity and assurance 10 the new money. One English writer has met the argument of the German origin of the word with the statement that shillings were in use in the England of Edward the Confcssor.

Four American Industries
 Have Laid of EmpIOyes

Geneva, Feb. S.-Figures showing the world unemployment situation, published by the International Labor Review, indicate that during septem- bor and october last no important change occurred in general unem- ploymcnt conditions except in Ger many.
 In Germany unemployment reached proportionN hitherto unknown in that country. About ten per cent of the five million workers covered by the returns were reported to be without work, and nearly forty per cent of the total at work were cited as laboring on short hours. In contrast to the ox- pcrience in Germany, decrease in unemployment has been taking place in Czochosloyal,ia, Austria and Po- land.
 The report continues: "In the United States q small contraction in employment has taken place. This decrease was shown particularly in the carriage and wagon industry and In the manufacture of rubber, boots and shoes, automobile tires and agri- cultural implements"

No Purchaser for Many
 Large Size Paintings

London, Feb. S.-Large canvases painted by old masters to hang upon the spacious walls of the rich mans mansions are hard to sell in these days of apartments and small houses Bond street dealers say the demand is almost entirely for small pictures. so that prices frequently are in in- verse ratio to size. Postwar social changes are held responsible for the poor market accorded huge master pieces with their many yards of can vas Scores of country mansions have been closed or sold to the newly rich, who have been too occupied with money-making to care about art, and most town houses are already over filled with furniture and ornamental tions.

PROTECTIVE FOODS

In using the term protective foods l have in mind the foods which are highly useful and necessary in giving children the elements needed for suc- cessful development and guarding them against food deficiencies, with body loss in weight and strength.
 Just how these protective foods do their work is dietary fact of great importance. There is always the danger of a one-track diet. The white bread, meat, potato and some sweet type of diet, is just as dangerous as it is wholesome.
 The real needs of correct body building in all elements are not sup piled by this group. They are neces- sary and healthful. but must be amply supplemented by others which may be termed protective.
 They protect against loss in proper bone growth and against early loss of the teeth. In general nutritive quail ties these so-called protective foods are of such great value that the body does not and cannot perform it's meta bolic processes without their assist ance.
 This list of protective foods in- cludes milk, different kinds of cheese, eggs, cabbage. spinach, cauliflower, collards, lettuce, beet tops and any other green vegetables whose leaves are eaten. Use them throughout the year at proper intervals.
 We must have good teeth exercise and proper foods to chew. Faulty teeth are prominent in 90 per cent of school children.
 Protective foods will help remedy this condition.

CLEVER THIEF AT LARGE

Berlin, Feb. S.--Aided by his small stature. a dwarf known as Fritz has been making a good living by rob- ping baggage cars.
 It was F'ritzs habit to ship himself in trunk, comfortably lined and pro- vided with enough food and drink to last a week. In baggage cars or fin freight sheds alone and at night, Fritz would emerge. rifle trunks. and take the best of the loot back to his own box. Another trick was to change the destination address on trunks, the contents of which were valuable, sending them to a confederate.
 The police have the box. but Fritz is still at large.

She stood Imply before him, all the raillery gone out of her, whilst slowly the color faded from her cheeks. Then it came flowing back in an all-suffusing flood, and there was a pathetic quiver at the corners of her mouth, suspicious brightness in her dropping eyes.

 "The printer disappointed me-" he explained gilbly-evidenty this point was one he had thought out before- hand-"so l haven't anything but a blank card. I'll put our telephone number on that and then you can call us up any time you want to-"
 Thank you" I said cordially as he brought out a pencil and wrote laboriously upon a card.

 She jumped at that. Her eyes di- lated. 'Lord!" sch said What condescensionl But do you think l want child tied to my apron strings?"
 "I am going away. Nan--tomorrow very early. I came to say goodbye" Her eyelids fiickered, and in that moment a descerning glance would have detected a gleam of alarm from her blue eyes. But there was no hint of it in her voice.
 T thought you said it was to marry me you came"
 Why will you be teasing me? It means so much to me, Nan. l want you 10 say that you'll wait for mo: that you'll marry me some day"

 It made an impression, though she did not give him the satisfaction of seeing how great that impression was. As it was, the surprise of it left her silent, staring at him in new wonder. He took advantage of it to approach her again. He caught her to him. taking her unawares this time and seizing her suddenly, before she could elude him.
 Man, my deari"
 She struggled in his arms. But he held her firmly. She struggled the harder. and. finding her struggles in- effective, her temper rose. Her hands against his breast she thrust him back.
