The lower price schedule, if it be-
comes general throughout Texas,
Oklahoma, Kansas, Arkansas and

will lose about $35O,O0O daily, it was

Hunting of Witches in Danube Valley
Keep Police Busy Saving Old Women

VIENNA,.-It is no crime to consider
II unlucky If you break a mirror in
Central Europe but there are some
forms of superstition which lately have
given the police of some of the more
rural districts of the Danube basin con-

The prevalent belief in witches. which
persists in the country areas of Eastern

Russia, has recently caused several
crimes or attempted crimes Of violence
against more or less harmless old
women, who living alone in small
cottages, have in some way or other
brought the wrath of farming commune
ties down on them.
One of the latest examples of witch
hunting was revealed in Eastern Slo-
vakia when group OF villagers from
Novoselice attacked an old woman and
attempted to burn her in the belief that
she was spiriting their children away or
casting spells on them, thus causing
them to come home late from school or
to disappear entirely. The Intervention
of the gendarmerie prevented the

ward off the desease from cattle.
All would have gone sufficiently well
