ZAGREB, Jugoslavia 0P.S).-
The trial of the leader of the Croat
Peasant Party, DR.. Matchek, and of
% Croat nationalist commenced to-
day. The indictment charges the &C.
cused with having conducted a
series of terrorist acts. The leader
of the terrorists is said to be the
clerk, Bernarditch. DR.. Matchek is
accused of having provided the ter
rorists with funds and further with
having conducted illegal propaganda
for the separation of Croatia from
Yugoslavia.
The chief lawyer for the defense,
DR.. Driyevitch, was arrested before
the trial by the police and interned
in the interior of Serbia, with a view
to disorganizing the defense. One
hundred and seventy lawyers from
all parts of the country then volun-
teered to act for the defense. Seven
lawyers are now conducting the de-

The first day of the trial revealed
details of the frightful tortures and

in particular to compel them to
make compromising statements
against DR.. Matchek.

Communist Youth Day in Leipzig

BERLIN (IPS).-The police Cap
tain Gale who gave the order for
the police to fire into the packed
masses of young workers in Leipzig
on Sunday afternoon, was himself
seized by the furious masses and
killed together with a police SER

is not expected to recover.
Further details are now available.
1t appears that private motor car
drove into the procession of young
workers in a side street of the Aug

held up the car. The police then in
terfered and instead of ordering
the car to go back and take another
street, the police insisted on a path

many left Leipzig by train and

Leipzig police attacked little groups
of workers with the baton. In one
case a policeman pursued young

down in cold blood. The young
worker received bullet in the lung
and is now in hospital in serious
condition.

day to their Leipzig colleagues, they
therefore held up the returning mo-

Berlin from Leipzig. Thousands of
young workers were searched "for

found. About 80 young workers
were arrested because they had not
sufficient documents with them to
satisfy the curiosity of the police.
They were all released during the
night when their identity had been
established. The only result of the
rolice action was to create hopeless
traffic confusion on all the roads.

British Gave Up Rights
on Mississippi River

The British government has
maintained that treaties concluded
by it with the United States before
the War of 1872 were terminated
by that war. While the United
States has taken the position that
the War of 1912 did not necessarily
terminate these treaties, there
would appear to be no doubt that
the provision of article VIII of the
treaty of Client, concluded on De-
cember "a, 1914, endeavored to
have provision inserted in that
treaty which would secure for Brit
ish subjects the right to navigate
the Mississippi, but, the American
negotiators being unwilling to yield
to that proposal, it was not inelud-
ed in the treaty. In note dated
October 30, 1915, from the British

Dress a Generation Ago

'Dress," said health article in
a woman's magazine of 1901, sis a
stumbling block in the way of a
healthy. existence for the society
woman. My lady must assist by
long hours of standing to be fitted.
The weight of the dress often drags
one down so that only the strong
est can carry about the heavy ma
terials.
"The low bodices which have be-
come more common are a greater
menace to health than almost any
thing. Women who wear low-necked
gowns in the evening, should not
wear high-necked undergarments,
for the contrast between their pro-
lection in the day and that of the
evening is very great and they more
readily take cold. The neck and
shoulders should be bathed freely
with cold water and with alcohol

In 1859 Adelina Patti made her

twenty-five years later, In 1854,
Patti again sang at the academy.
To her honor a banquet was
planned by number Of prominent
New York men, including Judge

of these men were expected to be
present, but they virtuously refused
to sit at the table with Patti, who
had been divorced from her first
husband, the Marquis De Caux, and
married to Nicolini, the Italian
tenor.

High Position and Life
Sacrificed for Beard

There is at least one record or
a man who gave his life for his
beard; or died in consequence OF
the fear of losing it. The tale is at
tested In history. 1t relates to
Gillaume Duprat, bishop of Cler-
mont, sufficiently eminent to sit Ill
the council of Trent and who Is
celebrated in memory connected
with the building of the College or
Jesuits at Paris. On one Easter
morning as he was about to enter
his cathedral he was faced by three
members of his chapter, bearing
among them razor, pair OF sels-
sors, d basin of warm water. a cake
of soap and towel. 1t was the
end of Duprat; or the beginning OF
the end.
Duprat's beard was patriarchal.
1t was not approved by the prevail
ing sentiment of the church at the
time; and resolution had been
adopted calling upon him to re-
move it. He had not removed 1t.
Thus he knew we'll what portended
when these ominous signs confront
ed him on the cathedral porch. lie
turned and tled-with his beard.
He found asylum or refuge in
his castle at Beauregard. 1t was
a cul de sac. He could not go forth
with safety to his beard. He bent
beneath his distress, sickened and
died-of broken heart, says tradi-
ton, which is always as good as
history and frequently much bet
ter.-Boston Herald.

IsER'
Ducal Right to Biscuit
Not to Be Questioned

A certain duke who had appar-
emily a bottomless purse could not
balance his accounts, or rather his
steward could not. What is the
use of being duke If one has to
bother about money? He had spent
only what was due to his position,
He was not extravagant. Oh! dear,
no. He had only what a duke
should have. Still, it was thought
advisable to send to London for
the family man of business to over
haul the household accounts.
The family man of business went
down to the castle from Lincoln's
Inn Fields and, after weeks
work, submitted his report to the
duke. Lord Willoughby de Broke
tells the story in his "reminiscences,

Sexes Separate in Church

DR.. Thomas M. Strong, in 1912
pastor of the Old Dutch Reformed
church, which stands at the inter-
section of Church and Flatbush
avenues in Brooklyn, N. Y, once
wrote of the interior structure of
the second church built on that
historic site:
"The male part Of the congrega-
ton was seated in a continuous
pew all along the wall, divided
into 20 apartments, with a suffl-
cient number Of doors for entrance,
each person having one or more
seats in one or the other of these
apartments. The residue Of the
interior of the building was for the
accommodation of the female part
of the congregation, who were
seated on chairs"

1t was formerly believed that
scissors were invented in Venice in
the Sixteenth century, but records
show that implements similar to
our modern scissors were in use
very much earlier than this period.
In the remains of Pompeii shears
were found made of iron and steel
as we'll as bronze. Scissors were
also in use in various oriental coun-
tries from very early period. 1t
is stated that those manufactured
in Europe were copied from the
Persians. The original scissors
were very much ornamented and
frequently in the form of a bird,
the blade forming the beak.
