some likelihood that Austro-llungary may.
We get more reliable news from Austria than
from Germany There is no question but industrial
disturbances are widespread throughout Austria;
and that Czernin, foreign minister, makes a peace
speech about every time he opens his mouth. The
Hungarians hate the Austrians pretty well and the
whole population of the dual monarchy fears Ger
many at heart. Lloyd Georges and President
Wilson's speeches have aroused hope of indepen-

PREPAREDNESS THE THING.

Much of the actual loss in complying with that
coalless-workless order was due TO confusion arts
ing from the sldcenncs5 with which the order was
imposed. But, having had the experience OF a coal
less-workless period the folks meet, in better
fashion, the Mondays that are to come, and actual
loss can be pared down to the minimum.
To curtail losses it is necessary to know what and
where the losses were. 1t is unwise in the manu-
facturer, storekecper and amusement proprietor to
figure that shutdown period all loss, il their ILL
crease OF business the succeeding days in fact ped
out large part of the losses of that period. For
instance take such institutions as theatcrs billiard
halls and bowling alleys, which exempted on
Monday but closed on Tuesday, that they might get

ceipts Of Monday the lst and Tuesday (closng day.

Monday and Tuesday,? If the first two days men
toned showed little falling off, clearly, threatened
losses can be reduced, maybe eliminated, by special
attractions the voorhees, Mondays to come. 1t is
to dig harder rather than lie down.
When the order was first sprung some of the
labor leaders yelled bloody murder Figures show
ing the army idle that would starve to death by
Monday night were appalling But the vast
jorty Of wageearners listened to the cry in quiet
good many Of them rather liking the idea of more
holidays.
What is this region east Of the Mississippi affect
ed by the order? It is the most prosperous best paid
most able to sacrifice EARTH In the bigger cities
common labor is at $3.50 to 1926 per 8hour
day. and skilled labor is being coaxed or driven to
work overtime in many vocations
In ordinarily prosperous years most workers arc
