VIENNA. Feb To- Economic con
ditions in Austria Hungary, Germany,
Bulgaria and Turkey are described as
satisfactory in number Of reviews
of the year appearing in the Austrian
press. Articles on the subject keep
the war in mind, naturally, and what
ever is said has the intention of the
enteHte to starye the central powers
into submission as a background.
All writer's agree in processing that
the almost total cessation of import,
due to Great Britains attitude on
contraband, has been blessing in
disguise for the central powers,
though most annoying at times I'm
able TO import from oversee markets
what formerly had come from abroad.
Austria Hungary and Germany, the
writers point out, mobilized economi-
cally shortly after the outbreak OF
the war The utilization of home re
sources and the prevention OF waste,
and later the partial withdrawal from
general consumption Of stuffs and ma
terials needed to carry on the war
made the two empires economically
selfcontained. Sciences contributed
much to this The result was that
while the entente bought in foreign
countries, the central powers, unable
TO do so, kept the money which other
wise would have gone out of the coun-
tries To-day the population of the
two empires has become accustomed
TO the frueaIity and sef-denals which
conditions imposed and those who
judge the situation psycholigically
assert that the degree of asceticism
which has been fostered in this man
ner has become an important causal
agent of military spirit and strength.
The economic scheme which the
war forced upon cenuaf Europe is not
without its novel and interesting fea-
that money was likely TO be the big

LONDON AFFECTED
BY TAXI SHORTAGE

ny Associated Presse
LONDON, Feb 10.-The taxi short
age in London has caused the public
TO fill the mail bags or the local news
papers with complaints regarding the
lnsolence of drivers and the whist
ing nuisance. During rush hours, es-
peclally during dinner and theatre
times, drivers often refuse to take
iares unless they chance to be going
N the direction the driver fayors.
This is due to the rule that drivers
when not carrying passengers must
pay for their own gasoline. A move
ment for law to prevent the use
OF whistles to call taxis is suggested.
but while putting down nuisance. it
would not help transportation facili-
ties.
The real trouble is traced to the
enlistment of competent drivers. Be
cause of this, some of the taxi com
pales have temporarily retired from
business. Scotland Yard has hinder
ed the substitution of new drivers by
refusal to relax on the strict geo.

Storms and the Wind.

It Is q curious fact that what Is gen.
orally known in some Of the eastern
states as q northeastern storm Is in
reality. says Popular Mechanics. Of
quite a contrary origin. Because a
strong wind which frequently carries
heavy rain is apparently driven from
nortneasterly direction 1t Is popular
ly assumed in a specific area that the
storm originates somewhere in north
eastern zone, while In truth its real
source is In the west or southwest.
The explanation is that such a disturb
ance is merely an indraft Of baro-
metric depression In the opposite direc-
ton. The storm Is known as a flare

which cause a weather forecaster diff

ORIENTAL. LACQUER.
Japan Got the Art From China, Then
Surpassed Her Tutor.

Japan Got the Art From China, Then
Surpassed Her Tutor.
Lacquer has furnished most varied
material for one of the earliest indus
trial arts of China. and, though there
are no authentic records Of its origin
nor Of the steps Of its early develop
ment, the process is already called an
ancient one in a work published in
1887, in the first year Of the Ming Pc
riod, which proves that the art was
known in as remote an epoch as the
Sung dynasty. The eliminating years
Of its development were reached IN the
reign Of the Emperor Chen Lung t1736-
go, who greatly encouraged its manu-
facture and had large quantities Of
lacquered objects made with which to
furnish and decorate his palace. After
his death the art seems to have de"
clined in merit, and since that time lit
tie or nothing Of any high artistic value
in Chinese lacquer has been accom-.
plished.
The japanese first learned the proc
esS from China, but have since brought
it to a point Of perfection which, sur
passes the finest productions OF the
Chinese. In Japan, however, lacquer IS
applied solely to objects Of compara-
lively small size. while in the Chinese
empire it served to decorate screens
and panels Of tremendous dimensions.
Lacquer is divided into two classes
painted and carved lacquer. Both kinds
are sometimes inlaid with mother-of-
pearl. ivory. jade and various semi
precious stones.
It was in the early seventeenth CEN
tury. when Holland and Portugal be-
gan their trade with the remote east,
and particularly with China, that mar
velous empire teeming with so many
extraordinary artistic manifestations.

new and vast field Of decorative ele-
ments which were contained In and re-
