Ttte gtrt wns one of several Mct-
tcan ttower girts assigned to sett

GYPSIES DANCE !N
DUEL TO W!N MATE
i!
Be!!es From Riva! Camp# in
Endurance Te<t.
Sofia.—Danctng duets between [ova
stck gypsy beauties stttt dectde the
game of tove to this country where
roaming nomads constttute a targe
part of the poputatton.
A newspaper correspondent was
given an opportunity to watch such
a unique duet for ttte hand of a dark-
eyed swain who married the winner
on ttie spot. Two hostite gypsy camps
had pitched thetr camps, tt became
known that for some time past, two
girts in each respective tribe had fre-
quency resorted to face scratching,
hair pulling and Ost fights becauso
both were madty in iove with the samo
Romeo, a tribat "prince." The mat-
ter had come to the attention of the
tribat chiefs and they decided the
case w as to be set tied by an endur-
ance dance.
The hostite camps had wheeted
their wagons so that a circular arena
was formed, with scores of flutes and
drums warming up for the dance
due). Those piercing tunes were soon
nearly dfoWned in the shouting and
yeiiing of rival gypsies.
At a slgnat the two maidens dashed
into the vacant space. For over six
hours they whtried and twtried
around, it is diiiicuit to describe their
complicated dance tricks and skitifu)
twistings and gyrations.
Near the seventh hour both of the
dancers began to show signs of fatigue.
It became evident the end of the con-
test was at hand. One of the gtrts
swooned and feit. The chiefs picked
up the vanquished giri, made her bow
to iter conqueror, and then took the
winner to the young man. who had
waited with self satisfaction for the
outcome of the contest. They made
the coupie ctasp their hands, mur-
mured an ancient rite ceremony, and
tinatly they pronounced them man and
wife.
Then a wild celebration of the wed-
ding began.
Japanese Seeks Prison
Sentences !n Protest
Tokyo.—Sosntic Kakubarl, a tifty-
one-yearoid exconvlet, Is In prison
here awaiting with pieasure the pros-
pect of his tweifth conviction. He has
sworn a vow itiat before he Is sixty
he will have been convicted twenty
times, and then commit suicide "in a
vovei way."
The strange vow dates frcm 18!)8
when he concitided his Hrst prison
sentence. Finding It impossible for
an ex convict to get work, Sosuke
decided he woutd remain nn ex-con-
vict. and made his curious vow.
Since then tie has not looked back.
As soon as one sentence is over Sosuke
calmly commits an obvious theft, gets
arrested and goes hack to prison
again, tie considers this to be an "ex-
pression of revoit against an unjust
sociai system."
Hospital's Fun to Boy
Rescued From Coat Bin
Cincinnati. Ohio.—[.ester Jones. Just
six. didn't tike getting hurled head
ilrst under a ton of coai, but the re-
wards later weren't so bad, he
thought.
A piaymate had pushed Lester in
fun into the bin near a ilght plant.
Firemen resetted him.
Hospitalized, t.ester grinned: "Gee,
this is my tlrst time in a place tike
this. I'd like to stay. Take my pic-
ture ail you want to."

When we think of the Worid War,
we instinctiveiy think of the tosses
of men and property sustained by
France and Betgium. Perhaps no
one thinks of the part played by
iittie Rumania.
But consider this: White French
deaths were 16 per cent of troops
engaged and Belgian deaths were
on!y a trifle over 5 per cent, Ru-
manian tosses showed the tragic and
pitifut totai of 45 per cent of fa-
talities.
Rumania) had under arms 750,000
men, of whom 335,706 were killed or
died of disease, while 120,000 more
were wounded, making her total
casualties of dead and wounded a
fraction over ,60 per cent.
In striking contrast is the record
of the United States, with only one
end one-half per cent of dead and
less than four and one-half per cent
of wounded, the lowest of any nation
engaged in the war.
The total number of United States
tmops mobilized was less than 12 per
cent of the total engaged on the
side of the allies, and of these less
than one-hatf ever reached the
battlefields.
Yet, it can not be denied that the
timely arrival of the American
troops turned the tide against the
Central Powers and our relatively
smalt force, combined with the tre-
mendous moral effect of our entry
into the war, was the deciding fac-
tor in the greatest struggle the world i
has ever seen.
