Th~ following Austrian Royalists are Hopeful th'at the Hapsburgs will be restored. The words .. democracY' and ••republic" do not appear in A;ustria's new constitution; but nelther do the words "monarchy" or Hapsburg". If under this constitution the Archduke Otto were elected president. which is possible it would not break any Hapsburg tradition, for it would be an 1ection, not by the people, but by an exclusive body of electors. These electors are borg;omasters, chosen by the 't:ommunity diet. ••• A Year After Begtnnlng, The Boulder dam is two-thirds completed when the contractor poured the two-millionth cubic yard of concrete. This is a new record. The dam now rises 404 feet from bedrock, leaving 324 feet yet to go. It has tapered from a width of 650 feet at the bottom to 250 feet at the top. The canyon is 650 feet wide at the present top of the dam. ••• Maxim Lltvtnoff, So\.'iet Envoy to the general arms conference, denounced the British proposal for a limited disarmament treaty, and moved that the general arms conference be transferred into a permanent "conference for peace." He admitted that an arms accord could not be reached at present, due to international unrest and suspicion, but insisted that the progress made in the last two years should not be tossed aside. It met with widespread opposition, not only from British-who favor returning the arms mandate to the league council-but lesser powers. The Dionne Quintuplets who have been the subject of press comment and conversation ,are still alive, and according to physicians have a strong chance -for life. However, their appearaaze at the world's fair is off since they have become afflicted with Jaundice. ••• Dr. Antonio Longoria., a Cleveland, Ohio, physio!an and electric~ al engineer is the inventor of a death ray machine. In experiments he said that the machine waz capable of killing birds ln flight two blocks away. F.:;rtunately for the present, the United States goverrunent. Vvi th the consent of the inventor has suppressed the invention and v:Till not permit it to be exhibited at tlle National Inventors' Congress. A certainly noteworthy gesture on the part of the government, although perhaps futile. ••• foreign otttce T he in London has requested Lloyd's to cease in~urance speculation on the l ife of President R:oosevelt.
