Burton Holmes.

"The Italian Alps" probably
unsurpassed by the grandeur and
beauties Of the Swiss Alps were
shown twice yesterday in Etill and
motion pictures by Burton
Holmes, famed lecturer, at the
National. It is from the Swiss
side that most Of the Alpine ex.
ploration has been made, and for
this reason Mr. Holmes chose to
take his audience to the Italian
side Of the range, showing them
the more placid valleys that snug
gle at the feet Of Monte Rosa,
Monte Blanc, and the famed Mat
terhorn, and thence by motor,
mule, and afoot up the rugged
peaks.
Airplane views Of the Mattern-
horn and over the Alps from
Zurich to Rigi, past snow-clad
ranges on the Swiss side, high
over the Zermatt valley, where
the clouds below shut out all view
OF the earth except the lofty
peaks jutting through here and
there, formed q part of the lec-
ture that could best be appre.
clated by being seen.
Next Sunday, Mr.. Holmes will
lecture on 1.-THE Riviera"

Sofia Town Crier Calls
 Citizens for Road Work

Sofia, Sept. 5.-Conscript labor, though only three years old, is be- coming as definite a part of the life of the Bulgarian people as conscript soldering used to be.
 The highways leading out of Sofia are badly In need of repair, so re- gently the town crier went success sively to the principal points of the city, beating a drum. The first roll was the signal for the collecting of crowd, consisting mostly of little boys and girls. Then the crier cried:
 All male citizens between the ages of 20 and 40 are requested by the city government to report at their respective district city halls at the hour Of nine Monday morning. The work to be done is the repair of roads"
 Of course, it was expected that the boys and girls would notify their fathers and the authorities were evidently correct in their sur mise, for on the following Monday morning at the five district city halls the labor conscripts appeared with { shovels, spades, wheelbarrows and carts, ready to work on the roads.
