Yet that was what she was asked to do by her employer, and when she re- fused she was fired. Fired! Just as if she wasn't the Paroness Elena, etc, whose great grandfather was Regent to Queen Marla Theresa of Austiia and her great uncle proclaimed the youth- ful Francls Joseph Emperor of Austria and King ot Hungary in 1848, The charming noblewoman was pursulng an art career in Vienna when the world went mad and dy- nasties crumbled, burylng in the rulns their choscs favorites. So, putting aside her background, her noble birth and her titles to shift for herself, she came to America to shitt for herselt like most of the American women. As the newly titled Miss Elene @-» Fekete, she found employment in | an exclusive costume shop catering to the socially elite, and established herself In a modestly furnished apartment in the heart of Manhat- tan. She had charge of the fashionable establishment, loved her work, and was a diligent worker. She tried at all times to please everybody, &s difficult as that was somectimes, hoping some day to have a place of hev own. She claimed that she de- signed costumes, adding little artis- tic touches'to the settings of the establishment and walited on pa- trons—all for a salary that was very, very small, “I cannot understand,” said the chagrined PBaronesd “what should have made the pror@ictor ask me to do such a thing—to¥scrub the dress Ry < lin time to catch the steamer Alas- BARONESS ELENA DE FEKETR DE GALANTHA and in front of so many room, people. “I was terribly hurt—but I did not answer him, Then at the end of the day, I=he , . .

In fact, she showed a de- lightful sense of humor as she re- lated her story, laughing at times despite the fact that she has lost her job, which is as much a trag- edy to the Baroness Elena de Fekete de Galantha of Hungary as it would be to Miss Mary Jones of the U.

It will be 35 feet in diame- ter with a 23-foot roadway and d four-foot sidewalk. At its lows est point it will be 90 feet below sealevel. Method of consiruciion will be the pre-cast type. Segments 250 feet long and weighing 7,000 tons each, will be built and launched like a boat, later being sunk into place by ballast. First, however, a trénch will be dug at the bot={ tom of the bay which will hold the segements and eventually dirt and sand will cover the tube entire length. As each segment is lowered intd] place a crew of men will be inside who will breax down the coffer dams and connect the ends. Deep sea diving will be resorted to in sealing the exterior. A feature of the work will be 30-ton anchor blocks placed on the end of each segment. These blocks will be adjusted inside the tube by jacks to true up the subway. A ventilating system, requiring 16 large electric fans to keep the air in constant motion, will be used. Drains will be installed. Construction will start this year, with Francis Betts Smith, San Francisco engineer, in charge of design and construction. — e Sinking Hill Alarms Montana Residents GREAT FALLS, Mont.,, July 17. —Sliding of a hill above the Judith river, near Danvers in central Mon- land to sink more than 20 feet. Large crevasses, like those seen in glaciers, were formed in the earth as a result of the movement. Geologists believe the movement is not complete, and that if the hill continues toward the river a new channel may be formed. While such slides are more or less common in the Rocky moun- tains, few have occurred in places so accessible to inspection. A party of geologists flew over the sinking hill and took pictures of the crater formed by the slide. ———— J. J. MEHERIN AND O. R. HART BACK FROM EXTENSIVE TRIP J. J.
