AUSTRIANS ARE
 UNABLE TO GET
 GOLD COINS

Vienna, May 15-There is hardly a silver or gold coin to be had in Vienna, owing to hoar di6Fls
 In an effort to bring them back in to circulation the government is pay ing 23 paper crowns for each silver crown and 35 in paper for each one of gold.
 An Illustration of the barter basis otf which Austria now finds itself as far as internal trade is concerned, was given at a meeting this week of the EepdseSentatiNes of the Peasants Associations together with agragria Il members of the Assembly. When re- preached for not adlowing food to come to VIenna they offered to col lect the surplus food supplies in the hands of the peasants through their own agencies and deliver it to the Central gtover nrfiefrt in exchange for a agricultural implements and such articles as they stand in need of. They refused to consider payment in Aus trian money.

PRIVATE HOARDS
 RESPONSIBLE FOR
 SUGAR SHORTAGE

Some, authorities maintain that there is now an abundance of sugar in the country. The present shortage, they say, is due to the fact that great nzlfn bers of people during the brief period when you could get plenty of sugar, laid in very heavy stocks.
 The amount that could be sold to any one person at one time should have been limited to five or 0 pounds. If a snlAIon people have each put in 100 pounds or a barrel of sugar, you can easily sec why it might go to 30 cents q pound, with a scarcity at that
 This constant scramble for sugar imposes a burden on those who run retail stores It may have been wise to remove the price limit so as to stimulate production, but distribution of sugar at the present time is grossly unfair to the mass Of people who have been unable to lay in large stocks.

WORLD WAR
 GAVE WOMEN CHANGE TO WORK

In the prewar days quite a few women were engaged in business; some as shopk keepers others as manufa cturers on a small scale The world war gave to many women chance in the business world which probably would never have come to them otherwise. Many men coming home from the battlef1e1ds were sur prised to find how splendidly their business interests had been handled by women during their absence.
 There is no doubt that in the times ahead of us the trade of the country will absorb the energies of an in creasing number of women. They are taking important, and in some cases, controlling, parts in commercial ad- ventures Som etiTnes these ventures are really Tomances of commerce One such instance is related to- day here-
 A woman anxious to do som mething in a business way looked around for an opening, and noticing what lot of concerns were selling toilet articles and were apparently doing a flourish ing business, she decided to strike out in that direction First she made a study of the requirements and de sires of a number of the members of her sex Then she went boldly forward and catered to them Her capital could be counted in cents rather than dollars. She procured through a friend the formula, for a good skin fcod- She made 1t at home, selected useful container, in closed it in a dainty outer cover, and labeled it with a distinctive name
 The first sales were made to per sona1 friends, and every one who tried the cream came back for more when it was gone. The name anu fame of the new product grew apace, orders came from far and near, through the users, who recom- mended it to their friends. By a careful study of other toilet articles needed to go with this, she soon had a number of l\>Rcts on the mar ket put up a factory. on a small scale, of course, at first
 The attractive way in which these articles were put up always caught the public eye wherever they were displayed In short time she had no difficulty in placing her goods in the big stores in the cities Her busi- ness has increased so now that the products are regularly handled by the best distributing houses Tn the coun- trx.

OLD FASHIONED
 DISTRICT SKULE

The enter tainment was entitled +tSchooldays.'

WOMEN HELP LOWER
 THE HI. c. OF L.

In one of our southern cities the women are waging war against the H. C. of L. in a very busfn eSslIke way. To do this they realized that their success would depend on a we'll organized body, and they proceeded to organize
 The name adopted by them is '@The Housewives Chamber of Commerce. g They have every ward in the city or ganized- Each ward has it's chair man, who in turn has precinct chair man, etc In this way the city can be thoroughly canvassed for member ship, to spread economy propaganda, to call meetings if necessary, and to buy food in wholesale lots to be di- vfded among the members of each charman's ward
 They have an official weights and measures man, who has caused old scales to be replaced by new ones, and both merchants and customers are more careful as to weights and measures than formerly.
 They buy many things in whole1 sale lots, direct from the producers. They have departments or milk, meat. fuel, groceries, dry goods and clothing, rents and restaurants.
 Large G5tslletin gboards are placed cOnsp1cuouSiy throughout the city with the prices of staples on them also the names Of all merchants who will sell any article for less than cur rent prices for one week
 They preach the gospel of econ omy" to women cor1tinualIy, and have two very efficient weapons to use in fighting the H. c. of L. One is: Buy where goods are cheapest the other is, f'Do not buy at all unless ab- soIuteIy necessary
 The mems chamber of commerce cooperate with these housewives for they realize the fact that these women. are wbde-awa4ze. and efficient and that they are doing something worth while.
 If these ideas were carried out fir all our cities and large towns as ef- fective1y as in this city, perhaps the H. c. of L. would soon take a tumble
