The minister regarded his plan of
revenge as a great joke on God. How
he came to learn that to defy God

a climax never to beforgotten once

WATERS OF AUSTRIA
 FIND JOBS ARE GONE

VIENNA. - Aristocratic Vienna. once famed for it's chefs, now offers small opportunities for the display of gastronomic art. Professional cooks are regarded as ''superf1ui- ties," as are also an army of wait CTS, all jobless and forlorn.
 Many hundreds of Austrians who were interned in England during the war returned here to find they could get no work to do. By far the greater number are walters. They are in a desperate plight. Owing to the great increase in the cost of living, there has been a great dimin- ution in the number of those who were wont to patronize hotels and restaurants.
 Walters fortunate enough to get a job at their calling encounter al most insuperable difficulties in pro. viding themselves with conventional garb There are few secondhand dress suits in Vienna. And new dress suits now cost from 5000 to 5000 crowns. It has been suggest ed that in lieu of dress suits they should be allowed to wear white linen uniforms, which could be had much more cheaply and would ren- der it easier to distinguish between walters and guests.

SILK ASSOCIATION -:
 ADVOCATING REFORM

TOKIO.-Charles Cheney, presi- dent of the Silk Association of Am erica, now heading the American Silk Mission to Japan, in an inter- view here said it was the desire of both Japanese and American silk interests to reduce gambling" on the Tokie silk exchange, as violent fluctuations were equally detriment- al to the producer, manufacturer and consumer. Another object of his mission is to standardiZe the classification of raw silk, a subject which, in the past, has led to many difficulties. He has been visiting the principal Japanese silk centers and will go to China via Manila and Hongkong.

profiteering committee.

!
 The prices fixed by the associa- tion, the report says, become the , standard for all lamps sold in Eng, ! land, whether made by association l or non-association manufacturers, or imported from abroad. Because of this standard price policy, the gen. eral public reaps no benefit from lamps of cheaper manufacture. the advantage going wholly to distribu- , tors.
 Standard vacuum lamps, now sold to the British public for three shi!l- ings, states the report, could be sold at two shillings, at which price the manufacturer and the distributor would still have a satisfactory work ing profit.
 "One and quarter million half watt lamps" adds the report, "sold to the public in 1919 at twelve shillings and sixpence each, were purchased in Holland by three as |sociated manufacturers at about three shillings lamp. They could have been sold at not more than oipht shillings, ,uhioh would still have left ample margin for the inn porters and distributors. Importers and distributors between them made profits on these lamps of something like S1,40O,OOO over and above what would appear to us reasonable. "Since the largest of the three dominant firms" continues the re- port. Sis under the majority con- trol of an American electrical con- cern. there is some danger that the interests of the British lamp indus try may be subordinated to Ameri- can interests.
 "There is a possibility of an in. ternational combination comprising
 British, Dutch, and American manu
 lecturers which would be able tc control supplies and dominate price: lover a considerable part of ths world.
 "The operations of an association
 which so effectively controls an i'm portant industry" concludes the re
 port, should be subject to public supervision and control" 1T.

 In justice to President Wood, however, it must be said that h4 never once dwells upon the familiar old urgency of an upward revision in Schedule K. That absolutely pro- hibitive protection established by q war which put all foreign competi- tion out of business seems to satis- fy him for the time being.

COX PRAISES HIRAM
JOHNSON; CLAIM WAS
THROWN BY Go. P.
fBy Associated Press)

SACREMENTO, Calf, Sept. 17.-In
an address here today, opening his
California campaign. Governor Cox.
of Ohio, Democratic presidential can
didate, praised Senator Hiram John
son, Republican. as an exponant OF
progressivism, and again flayed "blg
business" and Republican leaders sup
porting Senator Harding.
Although they differ fundamentally
on the league of nations, Governor Cox
said he admired Senator Johnson for
his frankness and lack of ambiguity
or hypocrisy.
"He~and I do not agree on inter-
national politics." said Governor Cox
to large outdoor audience at a noon
meeting. "but I respect the man fer
his candor.
Watches His Fight.
Il have looked with admiration on
the fight which he has made through
out thd years against reaction. He
fought 1t with Roosevelt and he con.
tinued consistently the contest which
he began in 1912, through the pri
maries of 1920, just as Roosevelt
would have done.
''If the reactionary senatorial oil.
ment in this campaign it will SO
manipulate the power of patronage
that the progressive Republicans will
either be compelled to join another
party or to form one of their own.
Let me recall a parallel between
the campaigns of 1912 and 1920.
Roosevelt Met Same Forces
Eight years ago Colonel Roosevelt
charged that the nomination was made
by reactionary forces in defiance OF
the rank and file as expressed at the
primaries. In 1920, precisely the sam,
thing was done and Senator johnson
was Inundated the same as Colone
Roosevelt.
ITO his neighbors when returned
home from the Chicago convention
this year, he expressed no bitterness
ness and said plainly that he woult
rather come back to his home state de
| feated than to have been nominated il
the room Of Chicago hotel by repre-
! sentatives of big business. His fur
ther observation was "a few men have
