Tempting Offer.
Iliis is a tempt in? offer to an im
poverished community, and wmie ex'
ttedieut minds would like to see it ac
cepted, there is a larger element of
irreconcilable idealists, who are not
willing to have this little art center
m the heart of the Tyrolean Alps
riven over to the world, the flesh and
the devil.
Durina the last year an effort has
been made to transform Salzburj
into a '"VVeimer of Art" and a "Bay
rcuth of Music," and men like Dr.
Richard Strauss and Max Kcmharut
were using their combined influence
to erect here a temple of art worthy
of the divine genius of a Mozart,
whose cradle was rocked in this city.
Max Reiuhardt took up his abode in
Castle Leoooldskron. once the prop
erty of the Hapsburgs, and waving
Ins sceptre over trie scene, coniurea
up a festival performance of Hoff
mannsthal's "Everyman" and induced
the inimitable Karsawina to make
her European debut in Salzburg.
Festival City of Mozart.
Salzburg was spoken of by the
enthusiasts as the "realization of an
artist's dream" and the "festival city
uf a Mozart," and for a while it
ecmed as if the dream might come
'.rue. Hut modem art temples re
quire money and it soon became evi
dent that the festival theater would
'iave to be abandoned.
It would be difficult to visualize
Salzburg, this rococo idyll lying
ucked away in its mountain eery,
is tl'e scene of roulette tables, hys
crical women and gaming suicides,
md the conservative element of the
city will find a host of supporters
vJien they maintain that "Salzburg,

ii porta lion of U, S. Shoes
Into Mexico on Increase
; Mexico City, Feb. J8. There has
een a notable increase in the im
vortation of American shoes into
Mexico, due to the fact that the price
of shoes in the United States had
declined steadily for the last year.
Previous to this the shoe factories
here had maintained ' the ' prewar
prices. The wholesale price of Mex
ican made shoes is twice that ot tne
factory price of similar shoes in the
United States. The shoe factories
are enabled to maintain these prices
because of the reavy duty on in
portd shoes. The cost of laying
clown an American pair of shoes
which costs $2 in the factory,' is 4.3S
pesos, of which 3.85 pesos are paid
in customs house duties. Thus the
price of the American shoes is more
than doubled before it reaches the
retailer.
Vet American shoes are meeting
this competition and finding a steady
increase sale to sucn an extent mat
the Mexican shoe factories have
asked for an' increase, in customs
duties, -
Muny Ice Price to Remain
at 30 Cents, Says Howell
Prospective reduced cost of ice
this year may be attributed to com
petition of the municipal ice plant,
according to R. B. Howell, general
manager of the Metropolitan Utili
ties district.
"I am pleased to note that the
private ice plants are contemplating
a reduction this season," said Mr.
Howell. "I have contended that the
only effective regulation is real com
petition. The municipal plant will
be ready to start the summer season
with a storage of 30,000 tons and a
daily plant capacity of 200 tons. I
do not. believe it will be possible fo
us to reduce our price of last season,
which was on the basis of 30 cents
a hundred pounds on the cash-and-carry
plan from the ice station. We
will have 36 jitney stations in oper
ation this year, in addition to a
service station at the plant, Twen
tieth street and Toppleton avenue."

Mexico City. Feb. 18.-(By A. P.)
There is "no 'reason for the alarm
of the United States authorities over
threats of rebellion along the fron
tier, according to Acting Secretay
of War Serrano. He said:
"There are no rebels of importance
close to the boundary, and the few
desperadoes in Chihuahua do not
dare attack a single federal military
unit, much less threaten Juarez.
Sufficient troops have been placed
on the border to repel any attack,
and the garrisons at Juarez and other
border points are competent. The
fears in the United States are absurd."
General Serrano referred to the up
rising in Chihuahua of Gen. Rosalio
Hernandez as insignificant, inasmuch
"as the latter is up in arms to accomp
lish vengeance for the murder of his
two sons several months ago, and is
understood not to be disgruntled at
the central government.
