Berne, Jan. 24.—The federal coun- cil has received a message from for- mer Empress Zita of Austria-Hun- gary expressing thanks for the con- sideration shown her by the Swiss au- thorities during her recent visit here. Zita is said to have been piqued at the attitude of the council of ambas- sadors based, as she said, upon the “absurd title-tattle to the effect that she was carrying an official parch- ment in which former Emperor Charles ahdicated the throne of Hungary in favor of his son Otto. By order of the amt lors Zita's visit to Switzerland was shortened by ten days and her children were not allowed to go with her on her return trip to the island of Madeira, where she and her husband are exiled, [ — NEXT WEEK — | —FOX—| ANNIVERSARY ADDED FEATURES | NO ADVANCE IN PRICES | DON’'T FAIL TO VISIT KINNEY’S BIG SHOE SALE Shippings | American |’ .

Hopes to Have Some Relief to Aid Intolerable Burdens Sofia, Jan. 24.—King Boris of Bul- garia appealed to the Allies to post- pone the payment of some of Bul- garia's reparations in the Christmas message he sent to the United States through the Associated Press. “Standing here in the midst of a people bowed in sorrow and suffering, in my country that is prostrate and lismembered,” the king sald, *“I should like at this season of peace wind good-will to mankind to appeal to the great nations of the earth to grant Bulgaria some reward and com- pensation for her exemplary conduct during the past three years and for her faithful discharge of treaty obli- gations. “] know my people may look with hope and confidence to the ever sym- pathetic and fair-minded American government to raise its voice in our behalf in European councils when the revision’ of existing treaties is con- sidered. We are especially anxious that our situation should be taken up at ¢he forthcoming iuropean conference m which we hope the United States will participate. “Unless Bulgaria is afforded some relief from her present intolerable burden and unless the Allies see fit to postpone some of our reparation payments I am afraid the country may reach a state of economic, fi- nancial and moral exhaustion. Also, it is vital to our economic existence that we have free access to the sea.” King Boris added in a subsequent chat with the correspondent that he hoped his country had passed the crisis but, he went on, “we are still in a period of convalescence. We are still struggling to catch our breath. It will be a long time before we are out of danger.” The King declared that Bulgaria would endeavor by the policy of peace, labor and forebearanceé to merit con- tinuance of the support and sympathy of the United States and to deserve the approval of the Allies. FIRST SKYSGRAPER Have Big Building Germany Will Constructed In The Old Business Section of Hamburg. Hamburg, Jan. 24.—Thé first sky- scraper in Germany will soon be con- structed in the old business section of the city of Hamburg. It will be 16 stories high, topping the highest building in Germany at this time by five stories. Architects believe the erection of this building will institute the era of crapers in Germany, and expect to » a number of similar bulldings construkted within the next few years. Unusual difficulties must be over- come. The city water plant is equip- ped to furnish water only to the 11th story and this brought up the ques- tion of fire danget and insurance, as well as the probability of financial loss in view of difficulties in renting offices on the five higher floors. Despite these difficulties the pro- moters have secured permission to erect the structure ‘“provided the building does not destroy the archi- tectural symmetry of the streets.” ANTS STOP TRAINS Plague of Grasshoppers in South Aus- tralia Make It Hard For Railroads to Operate. Sydney, N. 8. W,, Jan. 24.—A plague of grasshoppers and ants has descend- ed upon South Australia, holding up trains, making existence miserable for inhabitants and laying waste gardens and fields of wheat, oats and other grain, according to information reach- ing here. Several freight trains on the Rock- burn line were held up several hours by myriads of grasshoppers on the rails, which prevented the driving wheels from obtaining traction. Later passenger trains were delayed by the enormous number of ants on the rails. SHORT HAIRED WOMEN, Type of Female, Moscow, Jan, 24 Russia has be- come a nation of short haired wom- en, This to the newcomer |s sup- posed to be a symptom of communist leanings, in a country where the men formerly advertised their faith in soviet policies by wearing long hair, heavy beards, leather coats, and top boots, As a matter of fact the ma- jority of short haired women are not communists at all, They earned their short hair by surviving the typhus, Typhus Is as common in Russia as mumps in the United States. Those who contract {t, men or women, have (their heads shaved, and the women who survive wear sAort halr because they have no other and their own will not grow back for years, If ever, Chewing Gum, Automobiles and Jazz Classed As Worst of All St. Louis, Mo., Jan, 24.—The sound of the chewing gum, automobiles and juzz music were classed among the most irritating nolses in answers re- ceived by members of the St. Louls Woman's Advertising club from friends to whom they had submitted questionnalres, Cream puffs were voted the great- est delicacy with mushrooms and lce cream ranking second and third. Results on other questions were: That a kitchen should be colored in white, Diamonds were choice of gems. Popoular music was favored, Whistles also were included among irritating noises. TARANTULAS ON WEATHER Said to Be Able to Tell of‘Apprna(‘h- ing Storm. preferred in a San Bernardino, Cal, Jan. 24 (By Assoclated Press)—Tarantulas are certain weather prophets when it comes to predicting heavy rain storms, according to the convictions of Hugh Harrison, of Hemet, near here. Har- rison sald that during several years of observatipn and study of the crea- tures, he had always noticed that prior to periods of heavy rain, they made speed for higher elevations. He sald he believed the tarantula was gifted with an instinct enabling it to diag- nose weather conditions several hours in advance. RAZIN + OLD CHURCH Abyssinian Baptist Property in New York Has Been Sold. New York, Jan. 24.—The Abyssin- fan Baptist church one of the oldest negro religious institutions in the city has been sold and will be razed to make way for a manufacturing build- ing.

Peoplc Have No Money for Amuse- ments Without Gaming Chances. Havana, Cuba, Jan. 24.—Theater and moving picture managements are threatening to close their houses as n protest against what they declare is an enormous increase in illegal gambling. Athletics and other exhibitions upon which bets can be made have become so common, they clafm, that the pub- lic has neither the money nor the de- sire to buy tickets for amusements where the wagering thrill is absent. Commercial bodies also are sup- porting a campaign to limit betting to those enterprises licensed undetr the tourist encouragement law. GOYERNMENT BUDGET Apprnprlullohs Called For This Year $10,000,000 Under That of Total Previous One. Manila, P. I, Jan. 24.—The gov- ernment budget for the year 1922 as recommended to the legislature by Governor General Leonard Wood, amounts to $36,269,296, or about $10,- 000,000 less than the amount appro- priated for the year 1921. It was explained that although the revenue of the government next year would amount only to $31,525,717 the cur- rent surplus at the beginning of 1922, amounting to $5,982,076 would give the government ample funds to cov- er its needs during the ensuing ..ear. The surplus, it was pointed out, arises from the fact that appropria- tions have been made for certain pub- lic works, but that the money has not yet been released. The largest single recommendation made was for the department of pub- lic instruction which amounts to $9,927,646. The sum of $720,000 fis recommended for the University of Philippines, in additions to the amount for the department of public instruction, 'DANZIG CORRIDOR OPEN. Riga,” Latvia, Jan, 24.—Polish au- thorities have again opened the Dan- zig corridor to Lettish citizens travel- ing to western Europe.
