IAUSTRO- GERMAN ECONOMIC UNION
 HALTED TO-DAY
League of Nations Council Was Against It and Austria Accepted Edict

Geneva, May 18-(UP)-The pro- posed economic union of Germany and Austra was temporarily halted at the opening session of the league council today. Johann Schober, Aus trian foreign minister after show of meek resistance, collapsed in the face of stubborn insistence by Arth- UT Henderson, British foreign sec- retary, that Austria suspend nego- tiations on the proposed "Ansch- luss."
 Schrober agreed that the parleys with Germany would be halted un-, til the council can act on basis of an opinion by The Hague court of international relations, probably in September. It was construed as sig
 nifying that Austria accepted the
 councils temporary injunction against conclusion of the customs union, and such action likewise tied the hands of Germany.

NIAGARA FALLSAT
 ROWLAND D-HUCHES
One of the Worlds Great Wonders Reproduced
 at Local Store
THE PUBLIC INVITED

One of the worlds greatest scenic splendors-Niagara Falls-is very realistically reproduced as feature of National Wonder Week at How land Hughes company.
 It is not a motion picture, but an ingenious electrical and mechanical arrangement, which, when added ia cilitits gives one some of the thrills that an actual eyewitness experi- ences on beholding the mighty, roar ing wonder that the United States and Canada share. The exhibit weighing over a ton, but faithfully reproducing in miniature the falls was viewed by hundreds today. It is located on the fourth floor, the aud- itorium of the Howland- Hughes com pany. Every half hour the cur tain rises on the beautifully colored scene and 8 very interesting lec- ture is given concerning the history of the majestic falls.
 There is realism in the whistle Of the Maid oft the Mist' ploughing it's way through turbulent waters, car rying passengers for a closeup Of the cascading waters. of trolley cars circling the gorge on the Canadian and United States sides. of the whir- ling water rushing IOWaru tHe rapiuo. The exhibit is open to the public from 1O:3O a. m. to 4:30 p. m. Judg- ing by the number who availed them selves of the opportunity to visit the store today, it is predicted that be- fore the week closes thousands will have glimpsed Niagara Falls in the miniature and perhaps will be better | informed as to it's history than many who have had the privilege of view ing the original.
 | While visiting at Howland- Hughes l the public is also cordially invited to inspect the "wonder values" that are being offered this week in con- nection with National Wonder Week and the realistic exhibit. One will marvel at both the exhibition and the 'Wonder Values" that no thrifty person can afford to miss.

COMMONS WOULD NOT STAND FOR
 LIQUOR MOTION
COnserva tive Me m b CT Wanted U. s. to Modify Article Regulating Dis- tanCe on Seizure

London, May 1S.-UP)-Hugh Dalton, foreign office urdersecretary, rejected a suggestion by Commander Archibald R. J. Southby, conserva- tive, in the house of commons to- day that the United States be asked to modify article 2 of the convention regulating the liquor traffic. The modification would substitute def mite distance from shore within which a vessel is subject to Ameri- can Jurisdiction, rather than a pro- vision for time of travel from shore, as at present. The rejection was made on the ground that the sug- gestion was impra cticable.
 Dalton admitted, however, that Britons proceedings on legitimate err rands were likely to be prejudiced on account of liquor smuggling.
