HUNGARIANS ARE TRYING
TO CULTIVATE NEW WAYS
k BUDAPEST, June 18—Sympathy
for England has always been very
strong in Hungary but the last two
years it 'has been approaching anglo
phobia. Attempts have been made
lately to transplant to Hungary the
conventionalities of British society.
A “League for the Propagation
of British Etiquette” has been or
ganized, which is trying to reform
some modes of Hungarian inter
course.
The League first concentrated its
efforts to abolish the customary
shaking of hands and long conver
sation inevitably following the cas
ual meeting of two persons, and to
replace it by a simple “How do
you do?” With this object the mem
bers of the League are strolling the
whole day along the streets, yearn
ing for opportunities to instruct
the public in the new way of greet
ing and parting.
When any unsuspecting friend,
with the smiling anticipation of a
conversation on his face, nears the
anglo-maniac, stretching out both of
his hands warmly, the member of
the League stiffly bows his head,
cries “How do you do,” and hur
ries away before the thunderstruck
individual has time to recover.
“We have done our best for the
introduction of this good old Eng
lish manner of greeting, but with
little result,” stated the president
of the League. “Somehow, short
greetings do not agree with our
society. I just met a friend and
when passing him, I said the new
‘How do you do.’
“Would you believe that that man
stopped me, clung to my coat sleeve
and with wet eyes expressed his
gratitude for my interest in his
personal welfare, and entered into
a detailed description of his ill
health.
“At that moment, another member
of our League approached, and un
conscious of any 'harm said his
cheerful ‘How do you do?’ I es
caped, leaving the Hungarian cling
ing to my colleague’s sleeve, reciting
the same tale from beginning to
end.
“No,” the president concluded,
“my hopes are not very bright that
the short manner of greeting will
prove a success in my country.”
The celebration committee has re
quested The News to remind pro
perty owners that the Fourth is ap
proaching and that it is desired to
have the town in presentable ap
pearance for the occasion. Some of
the alleys are especially in need of
fixing.

ENGLAND IS EXPERIMENTING
WITH TEMPERANCE REFORM
LONDON, April 20—Relaxation
from the present regulation of the
liquor traffic is provided in the new
licensing bill before parliament. The
act, which lengthens the hours dur
ing which public houses may remain
open and grants certain other con
cessions, is said also to represent
an effort on the part of the trade
itself to reform.
This tendency of the liquor in
terests, is pointed to by prohibi
tionists as an effort to appease the
moderate temperance elements and
to forestall threatened attempts of
reformers to bring about a brand of
prohibition as severe as that in the
United States.
New features of the measure
would impose heavier fines for
drunkenness, with imprisonment on
the third offense; would permit
saloons to remain open from nine
to eleven hours a day, and would
allow adults to take children into
parts of public houses not used
chiefly as open drinking bars. Other
proposals would make possible great
er “freedom for rational enjoyment
with special reference to music,
dancing and games”.
Colonel Gratton, the father of the
present bill, who is a brewer, intro
. duced a similar measure at the last
session of parliament, but it was
smothered in the mass of other
legislation.
Premier Lloyd George has been
questioned again and again in the
house of commons as to when relief
from the present liquor control
might be expected. He has constant
ly replied that the government was
giving the matter its closest atten
tion. Spokesmen for the liquor in
terests have intimated that the
premier, because of his reputed
“dry” propensities, is not in a hru
ry to abolish the present system of
: control.
The bill is being attacked by
temperance people because it comes
from the brewery interests, because
of letting children into bars where
• they will learn to drink, and be
cause of the longer hours.
FRENCH HAIRDRESSER FAILS
TO IMPRESS AMERICANS
ATHENS, June 1—Princess An
astasia, the American wife ot
Prince Christopher, who was former
ly Mrs. William B. Leeds, of New
York, just before she was recently
taken ill, summoned to Athens a
fashionable Paris hair dresser to
devise a coiffure suitable for wear
ing a tiara. He arrived at Salonikl
on the day the princess’ illness
reached its critical stage.
Greek authorities at Saloniki mis
took him for a distinguished Frencn
physician and jumped to the con
clusion that he had been summoned
as an expert medical advisor. They
tried to find a destroyer to earry
him to Athens but failed and he
had to go by train,
j The coiffure maker’s reputation
as a celebrity had preceded him here
and the Americans staying at the
best hotel where he registered,
treated him with the utmost defer
ence. He was extensively wined ane
dined but the Americans were dis
; appointed. When they solicitously
inquired about the health of the
, princess, the hair dresser maintain
ed a delphic reserve. His popular
! ity was brief. Some one soon re
cognized him and he is no longer a
striking figure in the hotel lobbies.
Paul Borak, who arrived from the
canyon this afternoon, reports that
there will be a large delegation in
from Healy on the Fourth, ready
to back the Healy baseball nine.
Carl Schmidt, of the T. & T. de
partment of the A. E. C., return
ed to town this afternoon after a
brief visit at Healy.
Pete Nelson was among the ar
rivals this afternoon from Healy.
Over 7,000,000 persons in the
United States depend in whole or in
part, upon tips for their compen
sation. This is a gain of 2,000,000
in ten years.

KUSKOKWIM STRIKE REPORT
IS NOT FOUNDED ON FACTS
For the purpose of ascertaining
the truth of reports circulated in
Nenana during the past week re
lative to the discovery of rich pay
in the Kuskokwim district. The
News wired to the Kusko Times,
published at McGrath, asking for
particulars, in case a find had been
made. The following reply was re
ceived today from Publisher Grant:
“Absolutely nothing to report."
The wire also states that there are
15 men now employed on the Ophir
Takotna road, under the direction
of Foreman John Joslin, and that
the Flume Dredge company has
about 20 men working.
The steamer Tana is expected at
McGrath in about two weeks with
supplies and considerable equipment.
“Otherwise conditions are nor
mal.”
Arnold Nordale, who has been
directing survey operations on the
proposed I.ignite-Kantishna road, ar
rived in town on Thursday, with the
members of his party and left for
Fairbanks yesterday. It is reported
that the grade was found to be
much greater than had been esti
mated. The members of the party
were Ed Moore, C. A. Smith, Joe
Milo and Tom Lake.
A party headed by A. G. Billow,
A. M. Hartfort and R. H. Hum
phrey. left for the Totatlanika dis
trict this week to do the representa
tion work on the properties held by
John Hughes, comprising about 73
claims. It is rumored that the hold
ings will be thoroughly investigated
with a view to purchase, but the
plans of those in charge of the
party could not be learned. Messrs.
Biglow. Hartfort and Humphrey ar
rived from the States recently and
made their preparations quietly and
left with an outfit sufficient to last
them the greater part of the sum
mer. They took a number of men
with them and four head of stock
which were obtained from Tony
Letray, two mules by purchase and
two horses on a rental basis.
Sid Perham and Henry A. Keil,
members of the Mount McKinley
National Park boundary survey par
ty, were in town this week on a
brief visit, and were kept busy
during their stay, renewing old ac
quaintances. They returned to the
end of steel yesterday, going as far
as the Crossing on a work train
and making connections there with
a speeder.
A. D. Thompson was a returning
passenger on yesterday’s train from
Fairbanks.
