Austrian Factories Active
Rolling Tobacco for Women
VIENNA. Apr. 8.—The use of to
bacco is increasing enormously in
Austria. Although the population to
* day is 6,700,000, the state factories
now turn out more cigars than they
did before the war when the country
had a population of 52,000,000.
One cause of the increase is iound
in the fact that women are smoking,
not only after meals, but at all times
of the day and everywhere. Also, there
is no age restriction on the sale of
tobacco to juveniles.
^ A recent local exhibition arranged
by the Anti-Nicotine Union, design
ed to portray the aleged harmful ef
fects of tobacco, failed to interest :
the public.

ITALY IS PLANNING
AIRPLANE ROUTES
HOME, Apr. 8.—Italian plans re
garding civil aviation are upon the
point ol' taking definite shape.
It now seems possible that the
first civil air line will run from
Brindisti, by way of Athens, to Con
stantinople, touching at Lemnos.
This will be Italy’s first aerial line
in the Eastern Mediteranean, and,
its total length will be about 1,500
kilometers.
The opening date of thel ine prob
ably will be next July, and flights
at first will be made three times
weekly and, later on, daily.
A second line, 650 kilometers long, j
will be established between Genoa :
and Barcelona, and it is hoped that j
this, also, will be working by the ,
summer. This will be followed by
a third line—Genoa-Rome-Naples-1
Brindisti—1,100 kilometers long, to
provide a link between the first two j
lines.
The above three routes will be j
used for the transportation of i»as-1
sengers and mail, including parcels j
and certai nkinds of perishable !
goods. They will be operated by
Italian companies, using Italian ma
chines and pilots, and state subsi
dies will be allowed for the earlier
working.

Petrified Trees Resist
Wind and Rain, Nevada
-E
TONOPAH, New, Apr. 8.—That
there is a petrified forest, one of the
most beautiful in the country, with
in 40 miles of Tonopah, is a fact
not generally known. More than
100 petrified trees are still stand
ing, just as they grew originally.
Little has been written about this
forest on account of its inaccessibil
ity.
The unique forest covers several
hundred acres. The ground is strewn
with the fossilized bones of animals,
and here and there are small caves.
The entrance to the forest is thru
a small canyon which widens into a
river bed which, in design, reminds
one somewhat of the Grand Canyon.
William Gomm, of Tonopah, with
a party, recently visited the scene
and brought back several sacks of
bones and teeth of enormous size.
He said the trunk of one of the pet
rified standing trees was fully fifty
feet high and 15 feet in circumfer
ence.
The radio force has been busy the
past week repairing the telephone and
:elegraph lines which went down in
he recent heavy snowfall.
The radio road has been closed to
ill traffic until thd spring thaw is
>ver.
An air mail service will be estab
ished among the canneries to the
westward this summer, with a termi
ni somewhere about Kodiak or Sel
lovia. The planes will be light two
passenger machines of the amphibian
ype, landing either on water or terra
irma.
! MAE MURRAY TONIGHT
IN MEXICAN PICTURE
Mae Murray, the Metro star, is at
the Liberty Theatre tonight in her
latest picture, “Mademoiselle Mid
night,’’ which is said to give her the
best role she has ever had. The
story, written by Carl Harbaugh and
John Russell, concerns the daughter
of a Mexican rancher who is afflicted
with an odd midnight madness. With
this as a premise, the film works up
to many thrilling moments. Miss Mur
ray has an opportunity to wear gowns
of the Spanish style and she introduc
es some sensational dances.
Monte Blue heads the supporting
cast.
SAY MINE OWNERS
BEAT WAGE SCALE
CHARLESTOWN, W. Va„ Apr. S.
—Persistent reports were in circula
tion here recently that union coal
operators have conceived tlie unique
method of circumventing the Jack
sonville wage-scale agreement ef
fected by the United Mine Workers
of America.
Many of the operators who signed
the union wage contracts closed
down their plants because, they said
the scale was impossible hight and
made it cost them $1.75 for each
ton of coal loaded on cars.
Now, according to the reports, tliej
have resumed operation and
through a “co-operative arrange
ment," are having union miners loac
coal on cars for only $1 a ton. This
co-operative arrangement, according
to the reports, is as follows:
Bring Your Feet
To Me
AND HAVE THE CORRECT
APPLIANCE ADJUSTED FOR
ANY FOOT TROUBLE
Seward Leather
Works.
To meet the miners’ demands for
work, the companies turn over to
them a mine and offer them $1 for
each ton of doal mined and loaded
on cars. Thus twenty miners loading
100 tons in one day receive $100 to
divide among themselves.
Once the coal is placed on the
cars, though, the companies are the
beneficiaries, for they have succeed
ed in getting a ton of coal at the
tipple for $1, where it would cost
them $1.75 under the Jacksonville
agreement.
I And the men who do the work
! for $1 a ton under this “co-opera*
! five arrangement” are union men.
j who are not permitted, under the
j Jacksonville agreement, to do it for
| less than $1.75 a ton.
| It requires 25 years for light to
i travel from the star Vega to tin
J earth.
