On Potash Industry Berlin, Jan. 1. Negotiations be tween German and American busi ness men reviving the potash trade, which have been interrupted several times within the last year, will be resumed in New York about the mid dle of January, it was learned. Ger man experts representing the potash producers will sail January 4, to take part in the meetings. Americans recently have been in Germany, presumably in the inter ests of the southern cotton growers, of the United States, who were the largest prewar consumers of the product. They are known to have shown keen interest in the German efforts to put the potash mines cn their (ormer producing basis. Inez, Harding's Cook, Will Rule At White House Play by Name of "Hamlet" Cause of Vienna Critics' Woe "Crickets'? Strike When New Drama by "German Writer, Shakespeare," Is Staged Before Performance. Colored Mammy, at Marion, To Become Commander-in-Chief of Executive Man sion's Kitchen March 4. Washington, D. C, - Jan. 1. Inez, the now famous colored cook of the Harding family, who won laurels both-at the Harding" home in Marion and at the senator's town house in Wyoming avenue here, will come to Washington on March 4 and enter upon her duties as com- mander-m-chief of the White House kitchen. So runs the kossid in Washington social circles, and the report is like wise current in political Quarters where Inez .is particularly popular because of the skill with which she catered to the physical needs of the small army of political leaders who found their way to Marion at var ious times during the recent cam paign. Thwarts Others' Plans. will thwart the ambitions of num erous other colored artists with asr pirations to be chief cook at the ex ecutive mansion aurtng tne regime of the Harding family. It appears that since the election the president elect and Mrs. Harding have been the recipients of many applications from "chefs," ordinary cooks, butlers and the like, all anxious to wield the marshal's baton over the White House range. Though a few of these applicants have been wjiite, the majority were negro, for the fame achieved by Inez following Senator Harding's nom ination at Chicago, seems to have aroused the envy of her colored sis ters and brethren. Many ot those seeking the position claim to have served in the homes of the elite. Um Some Chicken! But the anderstandine among those closest to the senator and Mrs. Hardine is that none of these pedigreed strangers will displace the faithful and talented Inez. She knows how to make waffles- and those other breakfast dishes which please the president-elect, and which will continue to piease mm as mucn when he is head of the nation as when he was a plain citizen, editor of the Marion Star, she can Dake wonderful hot cakes and when it comes to cooking chicken, the orig inator of chicken a la Maryland has nothing on Inez. Mrs. Harding is herself an excel lent cook. Her redoes became well known during the campaign, and while they were given out because they were supposed to be of interest to voters, reoublican political work ers insist they helped make votes among the men. But the real re sponsibility for the handling of af fairs in the Harding kitchen rests on Inez say that when she gets into thought to inquire about. Will Buy Food. Not onlv does Inez do the cook ing, but what is more she does the buying of loodstutts tor tne Hard in? household. This has been i large responsibility through the summer and fall, with epicures often on hand for dinner and usually stay ins? overnieht for breakfast. Those who know the tendencies ot Inez, whose other name nobody has that every morning she will be dis the White Hquse, it may be expected cernible down at 1he market, though as a concession to the dignity of her position she probably will journey thither in an ouicial automoDiie. Freight Car Ruling Hurts Steel Plants Martins Ferry., O., Jan. 1. One tin plate, one sheet vand one steel plant in this district are idle while another is operating only eight of its 23 tin plate mills. Fully 2.000 men are idle. The order bar ring use of open-top railroad cars for transportation ot commodities other than coal is blamed. Officials say that as a result of this order the Bellaire plant of the Carnegie Steel company is unable to ?:et ore used in making steel, ana or the same reason cannot ship steel to the LaBelle tin plate plant in Bridgeport, both of which are down completely, and to the Laugh lin plant in Martins Ferry which is operating only a third of its mills. All are United States steel corpo ration plants which lost much time last year due tb a strike. An early resumption is predicted by officials. Boston Is Struggling With Housing Problem Boston.

ChlragQ Trllmiui-Omnhn Dee Foralfn Ketra bervlc. Vienna, Jan. 1. Add to the list of gentlemen who are now making cen tral Europe such a pleasant place for livingor traveling by declaring daily, weekly or yearly strikes, the dra matic critics of the press of Vienna. They simply couldn t resist doing what the majority does. But,' of course, they have their artistic reasons. The trouble, it seems, centers about a certain person named Ham let, who figured in the front page dispatches from Denmark some years ago. A Bloody Writer. A German dramatist named Shakespeare, I am reliably informed, wrote a piece for the theater about the plots, murders, assasinations and soliloquies of fiiis crown prince, and over here in Vienna the Burg theater decided to show it to the public. Now, it has been the custom to have atf the critics attend a special performance the day before hoi"pol loi could pay good money for the same privilege. This special per formance gives the critics a chance to get acquainted with the words and. plot, read up on Hamlet, and find out who that German writer, Shake speare, might be and what other snows he had written, so as to be able to say the next day that the new show is a terrible fall down. . : Call a Strike. Well, this time the Burg theater just put the show on without a free rehearsal - for the critics. The poor critics the next morning, therefore, could not discuss Prince Hamlet or the German dramatist who made him into a play. They, therefore, decid ed to call a general strike against th show. Thev have to date re fused to write anything about it This show, Hamlet, however, seems to be such an up-to-the-minute melodrama, full of war and thun der, comic scenes in gravtyards duels and sundry bloodshed that it has made a great hit with the gen eral public, which is supposed to have a tase for such low spectacles. S. R. O. Sign Out The house has the Viennese equiv alent of S. R. O. out every night and the scalpers do a good sidewalk bus iness selling choice seats at 30 cents good money, or 90 Austrian crowns. A long run is predicted. The cries for "Author" the first night, I am re liably informed, could not be grati fied, as there seems to be some error in the writer's German passport. Uirector Heine of the Burg thea ter has made a public statement about this critics' strike. Good for Season. He says, first of all, thatlhe thea ter has neither the time nor the money nowadays for special perfor mances for critics. Secondly, he be--lieves a rattling good melodrama, a knockout, a thriller like Hamlet, will nil the house the whole seasorF with out any critic mentioning the fact the show is good or bad. He also seems to be astonished over the fact the critics didn't get acauainted with the text a year or two ago, when the piece was first put on in Germany. King Alphonso Is Loser, But Queen Picks Winner Paris, Jan. 1. A ruction in 4he royal house of Spain nearly followed' tne victory of Ovillers in the Aston Blount stakes at Auteuil last Sunday. Both Kink Alphonso and the queen of Spain were at the races and when the queen charged M. Quinones de Leon to 'bet 10,000 francs on Ovillers the king became peeved because she wouldn't take his advice and bet on Courey, owned by the Marquis de Villamajor, a hot tip on which had been circulating in the royal box. Finding the queen still strong for her horse the king went out in the betting ring and bet according to rumor, practically all the money in his pockets on Courcy. Ovillers won and Courcy trailed the field. The king was "broke to the wide." Observers remarked that their majesties exchanged no further re marks during the whol? afternoon. Autoists Seek Better Highways in Ohio State Columbus, Jan. 1.
