DWARF ECONOMICS.
Demand for Half Fares and Small Building Costs. LILLIPUTIAN CONGRESS. (Received 10.30 a.m.) BUDAPEST, Marcli 6. With a leader 30 inches high, 261 dwarfs in Hungary, 50 of 'whom can trace their dwarf blood from their maternal grandmother, have formed a defence union. They have drawn up a programme demanding a law forbidding marriage between dwarfs and normal persons, the provision of houses with a minimum height of nine feet, and at a proportionately reduced cost, half fares on trains and trams, and in cinemas and theatres, and the compulsory supply of ready made clothes by the Tailors' Union. Estimates place the world dwarf population at 10,000, and an International Lilliputian Congress has been summoned for 1935.
