RICH AUSTRIANS GET FOOD
WHILE POOR VAIALY CLiMOR

However thick and fast the food
srules may come from Washington.
they never discriminate in favor OF
the rich against the poor. All loyal
Americans stand shoulder TO shoulder
IN the food fight. One of the great
grievances that has been heard
throughout the war from enemy coun-
tries is that war rationing is prac-
ticalIy a dead letter as far as the
wealthy are concerned. In Vienna
Il used to be that whoever had money
enough TO pay fancy prices could buy
practically anything 10 satisfy his ap-
petite Every month, and almost ev-
cry week, new regulations have been
issued TO still the clamor of "ths
common people"
The latest. effort OF the Austrian
Government TO make evasions Of the
rules more difficult is the compulsory
menu. Every hotel and restaurant
owner is compelled by law to hand a
menu card TO each guest, whether he
cares TO read II or not
The purpose OF the new regulation
ls TO prevent a person from ordering
any number OF dishes in a restaurant.
The guest is limited to the course on
the menu card. He must not get any
more, and any restaurateur who
serves more dishes may get the max
imum penalty of six months in jail
and a fine of 10000 crowns, or about
$4,000.
or course the hotel and restaurant
owner is not permitted to compose
menus to suit his own fancy. He is
compelled to submit his compositions
to an official menu censor whose duty
II Is TO temper epicurean taste. The
Government dictates the number OF
dishes served and also the prices to
be charged for the dishes. Menu and
price list must be o. KID by the au.
thorities and stamped with the Official
seal before they may be shown to
guest
The Government Is particularly aft
er the gluttons who eat at home and
then go to a restaurant to order an
other meal. So the eating house pro-
prietors are permitted to serve full
meals only at certain periods of the
day. Full meal periods are to serve
people who have no kitchen of their
own and do not eat at home. Restau-
reteurs must notify the authorities
at which hours OF the day they serve
full meals.

AT THE REPUBLIC TOMORROW

Riders of the Night" which is the
attraction at the Republic Theatre to-
morrow, is deeply moving story of
the heart of Kentucky, with its quaint
people and primitive loves and hates.
1t is story of the blue grass" region
without feud and shows the attempts
of the mountaineers to free their
roads from the crushing weight of the
toll-gate monopoly. Sally Castleton
Viola Dana) becomes involved in the
grim business of the night riders, and
the man she loves joins that mysteri-
Gus masked band There are amazing
incidents. The man Sally has unwill-
ingly promised to marry is found MUIR
dered How the girl happens to rest
under the shadow of suspicion and
comes near paying the extreme pen
atty for the crime of another, is told
with compelling force and breathless
suspense. Miss Dana is ideal as the
little heroine of the blue grass" Al

PLANES IDENTIFIED BY TUNE
Discovery Made by American Proves
Extremely Valuable to British
Aviation Service.

Air raids on London are no longer
the sure-fire stuff for heartening the
German people that they once were.
Lately the raiders usually find that
they can raid UP to the English coast
and then have to raid right back home
again. A young American is given
credit for the success of the British in
surrounding their capital with shrap-
mel barrage whenever the German fly
ers approach.
A Brooklyn youth who had enlisted
in the British aviation service was as
signed to test out an airplane detector
which was expected to discover the APP
proach of airplanes before they could
be heard, so to speak, with the naked
eye. No one expected that the device
would make 1t possible to tell whether
the approaching plane were German
or British.
His musical studies had trained the
Americans hearing TO a high degree,
however. He listened through the in
strument for several days while only
British planes flew within its range
Then he heard a different note. A Ger
man raiding squadron was approach
ing.
The American had discovered that
British planes hum in G-minor. He
found that the German raiders are
tuned in B-fiat. Now the British avia-
ton service keeps men about the CAPT
tai with their ears close to detectors
and whenever airplanes are heard
vibrating In B-fiat barrage is imme
diately ordered.

sonal contribution Washington Irv-
ing contributed $500; thousands upon
thousands of school children gave 5
cents each. The full sum was in hand
before the end of 1859, and in 1860
Mt. Vernon became the property of the
association A further fund was pro-
vided for permanent care and main
tenance, Portions OF the original es-.
tate which had been sold have been ac-
quired again; buildings which had
fallen into ruin have been restored:
the deer park under the hill has been
restocked; the mansion has been re-
paired: many articles of furniture and
adornment have been restored to the
several rooms, and numbers of valu-
able relics and mementos of George
and Martha Washington and of their
times have been deposited here. The
restoration, equipment, and keeping
of the respective rooms have been in
trustd to the pious care of the women
of the different States represented on
the board of vice-regents. The priv
ilege of visiting Mt. Vernon, and the
satisfaction of knowing that IL is to be
cherished for all time, we owe to this
ladies' association, and beyond il to
Ann Pamela Cunningham. The home
and tomb of Washington will have for
us added interest if thus we shall see
in them a monument of the patriotic
impulse, courage, and achievement of
the women of America.
NOW that / have acknowledged
these facts, let me reiterate my ideas
on the subject of Mount Vernon:
1T should be owned by the people
of the United States, and not by a cor
poration, which is what the Mount
Vernon Ladies' Association is.
"No admission fee should be charged
1.-The place should be open as wide
as freedom itself on Sundays, so that
everyone can visit this wonderfully be-
loved spot.
mo steamship company should have
monopoly on the landing privileges.
That is un-American and unlike any
thing George Washington would have
done.
1.-THE United States Government
should have bought the place in the
first place. Now that the Mount YER
non Ladies' Association has owned 1t
for half century, it is still true that
the government should own IT,
Make Mount Vernon free to the ma
ton, cut out the petty charges and the
refusal to allow visitors there on Sun
days, and do away with the un-Ameri-
can steamboat monopoly"

GEORGE WASHINGTON

writing for the Washington Times.
July IL, has the Following TO say of
worldwide interest, and especially
of interest to patriotic Annapolis:
There are several persons who dis
agree with me in my effort TO call at
tention to the fact that private cor
poration charges twenty-five cents for
| entrance to Mount Vernon, the great
est shrine which Liberty can call her
| own. Among these are members of
| the Mount Vernon Ladies' Association,
who seem to think that in demanding
public ownership of the tomb of the
Father of His Country / am infiicting
some sort of an attack upon the ladies
themselves.
Far be it from me to fail to recog-
nize that if the Mount Vernon Ladies'
Association had not bought Mount
Vernon it might have fallen into utter
ruin.
Just to show that / do appreciate
and that all American appreciates
what these women have done, / will
go so far as to print tribute" which
one friend of the association sends me:
1.-The associations of Washington
with the place during his lifetime and
the presence of his tomb here made
Mt Vernon a shrine of patriotism
When in 1856 John Augustine Wash
ington, being without means to main
tain the estate, offered it for sale, a
patriotic daughter of South Carolina
Ann Pamela Cunningham, resolved to
save the Washington home as a per-
manent shrine of patriotism. With a
high courage, which in it's very dar-
ing augured success, she devoted her
self to the tremendous task of raising
the sum of 100000 required for the
purpose. In 1858 the Mt Vernon
Ladies' Association of the Union was
organized, with Miss Cunningham as
regent and vice-regent representing
twelve States Contributions were
solicited and popular support was en-
listed. Edward Everett gave the pro-
| ceeds of his lecture on Washington
and of certain writings, and thus put
into the association treasury the
handsome sum of $4,000 as his per-
