der our window were the most ex'
pensive shops of Vienna, and it was
strange sight to see Polish Jews
with their long coats and side curls
gazing into the most extravaganza an
and florist shops Vienna possesses.
Famine? l do not believe there
will be such a thing. You have read
of riots in the foreign press! Well,
they were scrambles of housewives IN
front of two or three bakers shops.
The pinch is undoubtedly felt in the
lower middle class, the professional
class. We Viennese are not saving
people, and love our amusements and
our fine pastry. When the latter
came to be scarce terrible stories
were circulated by the Viennese con-
cierge and our housewives got bit
nervous. They are calming down now
and recovering their humor."

TO USE WOOD-WASTE
Latest Business Aid Service In
stituted by Government.
Enables Wood-Using Industries to
Utilize Each Others Waste to
Mutual MISUNDERSTANDING
Meets With Success.

Washington.-The latest business
aid service instituted by the govern
ment is a wood-waste exchange. 1t
enables lumbermen and manufactur-
ers in the various wood-using indus
tries to utilize each others waste to
mutual advantage, aiming to effect
large saving in forest material as well
as in money.
The wood-waste exchange is being
conducted by the forest service of the
department of agriculture. More than
forty manufacturers of wooden art1-
cles already have asked to be listed
as having certain kinds of waste wood
for sale, or as desiring to obtain their
raw material in the rough or in semi
finished form from mill or factory
waste.
Twice a month the exchange sends
out a circular headed, Opportunities
to Buy Waste" containing the names
and addresses of factories having
waste wood for sale, with exact in
formation as to species, sizes, forms
and quantities. Similarly, another cir
cular headed, Opportunities to Sell
Waste" gives the specific require
ments of wood-using plants which de-
sire to buy waste material.
One of the first waste problems
solved has been that of furniture
maker who wrote to the forest service
asking how to dispose of sugar maple
blocks and sticks which were cut OH
in the process of furniture making
and which he had to sell merely as
fuel. Samples were obtained from
him and the forest service then To-
Gated a scrubbing- brush manufacturer
who used small maple blocks for brush
backs. The result was that the furni-
ture maker was enabled to sell his
waste at a much higher price than it
had brought as firewood, while the
brush maker was enabled to buy brush
back material in suitable sizes at
much lower figure than it had been
costing him to buy maple lumber and
cut 1t up.
Firms which have been put into
touch with each other through the eX-
change are expected to notify the for
est service when their requirements
have been met; then their names are
removed from the lists. In this way
several concerns which early took adj
vantage of the plan have dropped OH
the lists; but as more and more manu-
facturers learn of the wood-waste ex-
change the lists are steadily growing.

PLAN GEOLOGIC EXPEDITION
Harvard Men, Headed by Professor
Atwood, to Visit Ouray,
Colorado.

Cambridge, Mass.-A party of Har
ward students who have been study
ing geology in Cambridge will trans
fer their studies to the mountains Of
Colorado in August. Having had the
theory expounded by classroom lee
ture and textbook, and by such speci
mems as the geological laboratory af
fords, they will spend several weeks
of the summer in field work.
Colorado seemed to offer the best
opportunity for such explorations. The
class has arranged to meet at Ouray
Wallace w. Atwood will be in charge
of the exposition. Three weeks will
be spent in a systematic study of the
geological aspects of the San Juan re
gion.
At the end of this time the youns
biologists will go on a long trip
through the higher mountains of Colo
RADIO and will make some first-hand
investigations into the structure and
layout of the backbone of the con
tinent.

Imported Seeds Fumigated.

precaution. The innovation, having
for it's object the destruction of in

Of the seed.
The infected seed is placed in

has been created. The chamber is
filled with very deadly gas-hydro-
cyanic acid-which penetrates more
effectively into the seed because of
the previously created vacuum. 1t has
been found that considerably short.

department in similar experiment.

What to Eat.

Overeating is the primary sin of CIV
ilized man. I fed one thousand men a
day (the unemployed) in New York
recently, on one meal day, and they
all stated they were never better nour-
ished than on three meals of soup,
white bread and coffee. These meals
cost one cent each.
The following articles contain every
thing the human body needs: Eggs,
milk, cereals, fats, fruits, fresh vege-
tables.
From these articles person could
live indefinitely in any climate and
while undergoing any kind of physical
or mental work. All that is neces-
sary is to select, combine and proper
ton foods from these several classes,
according to age, occupation and the
time of the year.-"How to Eat and

Contrast Between Germany and
Austria Is Marked.
Little War Talk Is Heard-City Is
Flooded With Jewish Refugees
From BukoWina and GaIicia-
No Fear of Famine.

Vienna.-There is considerable Sc
crecy about the military preparations
all around Vienna. Excursions are en-
tirely suspended to the forests and to
the popular Kahlenberg and Leopolds-
berg, two hills rising about 1900 feet
and sloping down precipitously to the
Danube. The guns mounted in and
around the old monastery on the sum-
NIT of the Leopoldsberg could hurl
down death into the broad valley OF
the Danube and the approaches OF
Vienna So far they merely frown.
The tone here is very unlike the
Berlin note. From optimistic Germany
the transition to an almost phlegmat-
Ic Austria is most marked. In Ger
many some war conversation was al
ways going on loud enough to be heard
by everybody in the compartment, but
in Austria l travelled at least four
consecutive hours without hearing a
single serious reference to the war.
In Passau, at the frontier, we all
bought Austrian papers. The "Neue
Freie Presse,' Austria leading jour-
nal, made itself the echo of little com
plants about excessive exports of
foodstuffs to Germany. My vis-a-vis,
q lady, assured me that flour was at
sc hellers, about Is cents, instead OF
46 hellers in peace time.
The other day was chatting with
a surgeon in the landsturm. He had
been stationed in Moravia in little
town of 10000 inhabitants. Many
hundreds of wounded and sick at
tended at his hospital, and most pitt
able being the cases of frozen limbs.
Most of our soldiers" said he,
ENJOY hard frozen snow. Even our
Viennese boys speak well of it. Their
horror is the slush of the Galician
roads. Austrian prisoners sent to
Siberia were insuficiently equipped
to meet the cold. The mortality among
them is enormous"
With him strolled down the Maria
hilferstrasse, which the Viennese claim
to be the finest shopping street in the
world. 1t was sunny, and everything
seemed smiling. There were hardly
any men about, but the Viennese
ladies came out in great numbers:
Many society people have dismissed
their servants, and the housewives

noticed the men taking off their hats

Archduke Eugene, perhaps the most
popular prince of the imperial house,
coming from Schoenbrunn, the emper-
or's residence.
The best hotels here are filled with
rich Galician landowners and Jewish
manufacturers from Bukowina and
Galicia. The minor hotels are crowd
ed with middle-class refugees, but
these latter are being drafted into
smaller towns in the other crown

And amid the biggest heap of the

called her Floribel Where she came
from, who her father and mother;
no one seemed to know except old
Jacobs. the owner of the rag shop.
Once his wife had given it out that
they had reared her from child, had
taken her from an orphan asylum
They were coarse, common people at
the rag shop, but even in that atmos-
phere of dregs Floribel grew like
beautiful lily.
She would sing when alone like
lark, but never when Madame Jacobs
was about. Floribel was in deep
dread of the lynxlike, tigerish-eyed
old woman. Not that the madam ever
mistreated her. except to keep her at
work twelve hours a day, but because
she shrank from the inharmonious
nature of the woman. Madame
gripped at the heaps of rags in a way
that seemed to tell that SO forcefully
would she tear at human hearts, IL
she could find gold among them!
Once Floribel had found a diamond
ring in an old glove. When she gave
it to the madam, the selfish, avari-
cious glee of her task mistress fairly
appalled, her. She gloated over it,
she kissed it, she fastened to convert
it into money.
After that, the probing eager eyes
of the old woman terrified Floribel.
Ever on the lookout for treasure, for
money or trinkets, the rag woman re-
sembled some famished ferret on the
scent of blood.
Then one day 'The Hero" came into
the lonely life of the beautiful iso-
lated girl. A young man entered the
place and asked for its proprietor.
Old Jacobs was absent on a rag buy
ing trip. The madame was also alb
sent, but would return soon. In awe
of the rich tasteful attire of the I'M

handsome face, the courtesy Of the

place and resumed her work.
He sat looking at her with more
than common interest. Her pure in
nocent face deeply attracted him. He
influenced the shy eyes to seek his
own, he led her to talk with him.
Soon he had her simple story.
1T is no place for you, this" he
said, and he took a card from his
pocket and wrote upon it. 81 am CIV

explained. "She is a widow, young,

Then Madam Jacobs came in. The
young man stated his business. He
was Arlo Willis, his sister was Mrs.
Ivan Neal. The latter had removed
from former home. A great part Of
its old furniture, the varied contents
of lumber room, had been sold.
Among some papers, old papers that
had been thrown out from the old
furniture, was a certain document the
caller wished to recover.
The secondhand dealer who had
brought the stuff had informed him
that all the old carpets, rags and pa
per had been sold to Jacobs. Could

Joy in Productive Labor.

There is pleasure in mere struggle,
SO it be not hopeless, and in overcom-
ing resistance, obstacles and hardship.
When to the pleasure of exertion is
added the satisfaction Of producing
a new value, and the further satisfac-
ton of earning a livelihood through
that new value, we have the common
Measurable conditions of productive
labor. Every workingman who is
worth his salt, | care not whether he
works with his hands and brains or
with his brains alone, takes satisfac-
ton, first, in the working; second, In
the product of his work, and, third,
in what that product yields to him.
