 But among the exhibits at the Toledo Museum first and second place go, respectively, to needle- work and cabinet making Despite the diverse racial origins of the exhibitors these two traditional American handicrafts still seem to be popular.

ROYAL PAWN.

Prince Otto sccn of the House of Hapsburg, heir to the thrones in Vienna Budapest and points east, is visit in Rome that is momentous to himself and possibly to nations. It may be import ant for the political future of Europe His mother has it that marriage has been arranged between him and the youngest daughter of the royal house of Italy, winch seems to link up with the other rumor that his restoration to inc Vienna throne is in the making
 Whether the object of Ottos visit to the Eternal City matrimonial or whether it is political, the meaning is much the same It means closer link between the Italian and Austrian governments Heretofore Mussoni has been cool to the idea of restoration of a Hapsburg both in Austria and Hungary. Probably the bitter opposition of Jugo- slavia and Czechoslovakia had much to do with that attitude
 But it is becoming apparent that Austria cannot resist German propaganda much longer, unless some thing IS done 10 create strong political unit in the Donube Valley. Hapsburg in Vienna and later in Budapest would go a long way to prevent the Ger man-Austro union and thereby to perpetuate Italys dominance in the two Danubian capitals.
 Otto is a royal pawn in a very modern political game. Betrothed to Italian Princess he would be a step nearer his goal, the thrones of Austria Hungary But the real motivation of his cause lies with the Italians, abetted by the British, who want something done to block the anschluss. Con- and so can be induced to some pressure on their allies Jugoslavia and Czechoslovakia to allow Otto to take the throne
