BAREFOOT HIGHBROWS. The intellectual ciay-.s in Vienna the teachers, prof es.-:lonal rru n and otliers whose incomes, like thosH of similar clashes oLwhtrc, are now the fimulleet In Hunpary are ahout to start certain dreM Innovations, in the interests f economy.

A nuraher of theo harraseil hi-hbrown havt harxle.l together ami are pledarefl to appear upon the ttro'ts shortly with neither Rtockink'.H nor sh'"'s. ther dre.s reforms tire contemplatvd which ;rc to heir reduce the cot of clothinp. In thfir announcement of the organization they my that thrir action is not only a necessity because of the- prohibitive crst of footwear, but also n protect aprair.st the profiteers who are fattening1 on the misery' f others. There will be -Ittle sym pathy here over this late.-t evidence of tlie decreas-hi;? size of the Vienna roll, but It will be interesting to know whether the drastic measure proposed will have the desired effect. If prices of footgear and other clothing descend rapidly because of ?uch professional treatment, it will be a great temptation for people In like clrumstHncM in thid country to follow in their barefoot tracks.

CAMPAIGN EXPENSES. The Newberry' eonvictton in Michigan, the Borah charges of campaign extravagance in the sundry presidential canvass- incident to the preferential primaries, and the demand of labor that such monetary corruptions of the ballot must cease, ore ;)11 provohing evidences of public Interest in the .uestion of campaign expenses, as they may bo irrtulge! in by the various candidates and political parties thi year. The general feeling seems to be that the thin? li.tH gone iuite far enough and that it is time to call a halt. With much competition for othce, particularly for the higher federal and state ofhees. there is n temptation on the part of candidates and their suppo-tcrs to 'o to extremes. This may I".' natural, at a time when the country is oversowing with wealth and money seems almost to li.ivo los.t ItH value; but it is unfortunate and dangerous. Any honert effort to limit campaign expenditures, cither in support of existing laws or as moral su-rrion where no laws exist, is to be cncouraced. Interest in thl? matter at present centers chiefly .li the pre-convention presidential campaigns, ber.iuf they are most conspicuous in themselves, and because they are already well under way. There io no law limiting the. amount a candidate may Fprnd fo- the presidential nomination. The raliroad brotherhoods, however, speaking through their ot!iU1 publication, T-abr, eck to remedy this lack. They have addressed nn appeal to every presidential candidate, a.-ddnc:: "Ifow ii your campaign tinanced? ITow much have you xpendel to date and how much do you expect t extend before the national convention of your party meets? Will you be good enough to furnlf-h the nam-s of contributors to your campaicn fund, or to any fund whb-li is to be med in your behalf, and the amounts of their contribution? Will you before your national cotnention meets make a further sworn statement of expenditures, together with a list of contributors, and furnt-,h the same to the press? . "Are j oil willing to join in an appeal to conSrc.ss to immediately enact legislation which will compel all candidates for the presidency to make sworn returns to some otlielal of the national i;ocrrnornt showing all money expended by the candidates, or any on" acting in their beh ilf. together with the names of all contributors to the candidates' campaign fund, or to any fund that may be raised in their behalf '.- Some candidates may regard thes.' qu stion.i as Impertinent. Tloa-r is, however, a real public interest b?.ck of them. The public would like to know. :.t bast, wbat is tl.- cldef Jr-ment of tin. tncial suprort back f every candidacy, in ord r to appraise each e-nndid.ite more accurat ly. It would be to the public inUrt.-t i:' 'h rc werrt some v ay of getting everj pre- otn i: ion campaign fund on reccrd.

In tpite of the rcstlvenes of John Ikirleycom and the renewed aritation of his Fupporters. this busin-ss side cf prohibitiem is proving one of the strongest arguments n ILr favor.

w... ARMY HANDICAPS. Conpres has decided on a standing army of COO,000 men, with nearly 18,000 otücers. Raising that army and keeping it up to full strength Is going to b'e considerable of a Job, owing to conditions for which congress itself is responsible. The army is to b reruitd by voluntary enlistment. Men will enlist only if the sorvico is desirable. It ioe.i not appear very desirable now either to otricers or to privates. The present standing army 'f far from its full complement, and is particularly short of officers. Th old ofiic rs are leaving the service, and r.ev otflcer-material is failing to enter it, because the pay is so small that othcers cannot live on It decently. Congress has refused to raise that pay. It is hard to enlist privates largely because congress has neglected to modify the old court martial Fystem under which 400,000 tiddlers were tried during th kite w?r. and of whom, according to former Jud-e Advocate Ansell's testimony, tJK percent were convicted unjustly. This is the system of which Gen. Ansell has said: 'The subordinate has no ritrht which his superior is bound t respect. It H tho same system that governed the armies of TCufopo in the .lays when soldiers were either impressed into service or wer- serfs." It is not likely that w shall have a strong, efficient army, made up of representative Americans, i.ntil tlirs" two defects are remedied.

LEATHER CHEMISTRY. When the American Chemical society meets in April it will establish a new department. This will be a section of leath'r chemistry, the need for which has developed with the high coat ef shoe manufacture. The first work of the new department will be experimenting with vegetable substances to improve? tanning processes. In recent years leather has been made from many new skins never before utilized for this purpose. The skins of shark and other fish have been found practicable for making new kinds of leather possessing real durability and utility. . ImfTOved and perhaps less expensive methods of tanning the skins now commonly used to make different grades of leather will help greatly. New methods which will make available a lot of new material will 1 still more helpful. A long-suffering public has nothing but good wishes for this enterprise.

RUSSIA'S MYSTERY. The story that former Car Nicholas of Itusia and his family were not executed by the bolshevJsts is again revived. A member of the French chamber of deputies who has just returned from a mission to the Muscovites says that he heard nothing to Mibstantlate the report of the death of the Imperial family, but that, on the other hand, he found the prevailing opinion among prominent Ttusslans that Nicholas, his wife and children arc only being kept in seclusion "until the time Is opportune for them to emerge." While nothing less than the reappearance in public of the former czar will convince the world thai be is alive, it remains that the story of his execution hat been denied from the first. Although the btories of his death have been more definite than those on the "demise of Villa" of Mexico, the numerosity with which I'ancho has come to life may lend color to the story that the ex-czar is alive. However, Nicholas miht as well be dead if he has any ambition to remount the throne. The spirit of democracy is growing instead of receding. Ho is or was both too weak and too reactionary. If he is alive, he had better reconcile himself to humble retirement.

II. V. Ik rsYCMOIXXlV. (Pe;rNrn Irttlcpcmh-nt.) T'espito tho heroic efforts of federal, r.tato and local organisations to bring down the high cost of living, it remains about where It was before higher than Gildereey's Uite. Whatever we may be able to aeeomnlish in eth-r lirections, in this one line wo ar apparently helpless. If there has been a lecllno it has ben so little as te give us but small hope for the future. It may b that when the socalled jaramount issues ef the political campaign have been settl d wo may apply ourselves more successfully to this task. The while we are waiting. howecr. we need not be altogether without consolation. For even the high cost of living lias its bright side, although to be s ire it is not a very bright one, and has to be locked at from the right ansle to be seen at a!!. In oar ze-d to corroborate the .-insertion that tho ost of living is high as though it needed any corroboration we arc likely to t...s.e the $1S pair of shoes in the show window as proof. We once bought this pair for S 4 . 4 . This should prove that the cost of livir.K is hitrh. And no doubt it does. Iat the $1S pair of shoes Is only a part of the story. As a matt f fact nearly as many people are able to wear the more expensive shoes as were .b!e years ago to wear the kind that cost 14.48. It is doubtful when the facts are all adduced, if we could prove tho Vast, majority of people are worse off today than they were 10 years aro To the casual observer it must bo apparent that sales have not falb r off to any great e xtent. You still have to wait till June or July for delivery on the automobile you order today. We are likely to forget in the excitement of our hunt for the proriteer that the general and in many cas -s very substantial increase in income has put majiy of us within the reach of thlnus which in the days of the low cost of living we were quite conten to put a vide as bor.d our means.

ilies bore the name of Antonius and its first famous exponent was Mark Anthony, avenger of Caesar and lover of Cleopatra. It received a reputation for sanctity through St. Anthony, the great hermit of the fourth century. The feminine form Antonia made its appearance in Italy, also, and in Spain, where it is still popular. The Germans adopted it as Antonie, but the French are responsible for the charming Antoinette which is forever pityingly recorded in history through the fate of lovely Marie Antoinette, queen of Iouis VI. The French later contracted Antoinette to Toinettc. a popular form throughout the country. Toinon is also sometimes used as a diminutive. Italy has an Antoinetta and an Antonica. Antonia and Antonetta are the favorite equivalents in Sweden. The garnet is Antoinette's talismanic stone. It possesses many of the powers f the nihy, whose flaming heart it so closely Imitates. It proniiss its wearer courage. h dauntless heart, and success in every ambition. Friday is her lucky day and live her lucky number. (Copyright, 19 20.)
