VIENNA CANDLES
NITHPAPERM MONEY
They Call Paradoxical
Movement in Stocks
The Misery Boom

VIENNA, oct. 29.-One Of the fln-
Rncial paradoxes OF Central Europe
has been a boom this autumn on
The Vienna stock holders exchange
Speculation has been on a tremen'
dous scale and stock prices have
risen by leaps and bounds. Advan-
ces OF several hundred points a
single stock occurred in one days
trading. Lucky spectators made
millions Of kronen from a shoe
string investment.
But Austrinns all speak OF his
boom as tho misery BOOM" for
IA basis is tne unfayorabIe state
ofythe kronen exchange, and the
rise in prices was q measure OF
t4e depressed economic state OF
the country.
The "misery boom on the stock
exchange was accompanied by 0
dikions Of restitution in the Guy
and country which are unprece-
denied at that season Of the year,
Il is Hard even for the people OF
Vienna to realize their plight and
70 oicture what the winter has in
stores for them. The American Wis
tor, particularly II he is armed with
dollars, finds an air of surface pros
narity about the city. But those
who look beyond the merely super
1cIal learned that the misery
Soom" on the stock exchange was
merely a gay trapping behind winch
stalked u gaunt skeleton.
The boom is an economic phen-
n which is we'll worth study,
for it explains much OF the para
doxical condition that exists
throughout the war-wOrn countries
Of Europe. An Austrian financial
authority. the correspondent Of the
London Financial News, explained
1t by saying that the sole factor IN
it was ethe exchange rate Of the
krone. When hope was abandoned
that the depreCiated krone would
never reach its former standard oil
value, the argument was advanc-
ed,that the value Of the properties
listed on the stock exchange had
not decreased and that in the fu-
ture they would pay the same divi'
deuds as in peace times. There
fore, it was argued that the stocks
must be worth today as much as
they were before the war. Continu-
ing the correspondent said:
1.-THE stock exchange is no long,
err a barometer which indicates
fair when the condition is favor
able and industrial life is prosper
ouSs-Today the situation is revers'
eds@Stock prices rise when the
weather is foul, when the krone
drobs, when 1t becomes evident that
f6ratgn countries will not assist us
and:prop up our exchange by grant
Eng-us credits.
"If anywhere on the foreign no
rizon a serious hope should appear
a slump on the Vienna stock ex-
change would be inevitable. Even
aerise in the krone to S confines
would entail a violent fall in stock
prices"

ROLF CALL NOW

All Who Are Taking Part
Speed Up for a Gar
rison Finish

All branches Of the Red Cross
Roll Call organization are now
primed for a sweeping finish OF the
local campaign for memberships,
according to information given out
at Red Cross headquarters early to-
day. Workers are putting the last
touches to their solicitation in the
city wards, the business section
committee, under Miss A. Ruth Eel-
ley is making final calls through
the down town stores and Office
buildings, E. F. Maston's industrial
committee is making fast progress
in the factories, Red Cross booths
are open and actively taking mem
berships from many who have pre-
yiously been MOSES, and, finally.
the county ~Canvassing under direc-
ton of Mrs. Frank Cox is said to
be we'll under way.
The momentum of the Roll Call
is now at its greatest and all ave.
nues which might provide member
ships for this great humanitarian
cause are being earnestly traversed
by the several hundred workers
who aim to make this annual event
as successful as In former years.
1t is said that memberships now
total well over two thousand though
definite figures were not given out
at Red Cross headquarters up to
noon today. So many OF the com
mlttees now winding up their work
will hold their reports, but it is Il
certainty that several hundred NOR.
names are on the Red Cross l!ss.
at this moment than have been de!

Of the Roll Call work.
Information coming to headQuar-
tiers from members OF the Industrial!
Committee indicate that unusual
enthusiasm has developed in that
feature OF the Roll Call. Among
several OF the workers there is a
lot of keen rivalry as to who will
enlist the greatest number CT mem

going on at the Domestic Coke Cor

called for considerable more mem

it appear that the Domestic Coke

than ever before.

But when it comes TO
question of pulling somebody's chest
nuts out of the fire or of increasing
the gain of some individual, organl-
cation or what not, that's different;
and the newspaper must draw the lne
or slIffer itself to 60 into decline. For
il must be borne in mind that every
line of type which a newspaper sets
up costs Just so much and every men
of good white space utilized costs the
newspaper just so much-and the cost
is rapidly advancing, too
Why should the newspaper be asked
to pay out its money to aid some per
SON or some organization TO make
financial gain? 1t has wares to sell
lust as the merchant has wares; and
its wares are its advertising space
largely, although the circulation OF
the paper may recognized IN the
same classificft on. Sometimes q
person expresses surprise that an ad-
vertising reading notice in the So
called news type should be charged
| for. that person having failed TO un-
Iderstand hat the workmanship and
! the space and tAN ink h@ve cot the
newspaper something. You don't go
/ into a store every now and then and
/ tell the man behind the counter you
/ expect him to donate five pounds OF
sugar No more should one expect
the newspaper to furnish something
which costs the newspaper in dollars
and cents just the same as sugar
costs the merchant. These requests
land every newspaper receives theml
are due more to lack of understanding
of the newspaper situation than to I'M
limited gall; and as soon as the peo-
pie see the situation clearly they are
willing to 60 on business basis. II
is on the hope of such an understand
ing that the newspaper continues TO
do business, willing to boom and boost
its town and its district for public
Ebetterment but asking some returns
when private gain is SOUGHT by the
person seeking publicity.

Babbitt Throws Sop to Minority

Candidate Babbitt appeared in a
purported interview by a Burlington
Free Press man, stating his position
on the Volstead act Mr.. Babbitt
takes the same position as all others
who are Inconvenience by the act
The bona fide temperance, law-abiding
citizen finds no fault with the act; the
critics who harp on personal liberty
and "the rights OF citizenship" are as

not go to bed with their boots on, they
may meet the open door on the edge
trying to get in and at the same time
stay out. Evidently this candidate

who feel they are sorely depressed by
being deprived of-well, doing as they
please about the liquor evil, regard

De regretted that any man should

Hillegas Talks to 500 Teachers.

DR.. Milo. B. Hillegas, in speaking
before 500 teachers at the Rutland
CbuEty Teachers ASSOCIATION meet
ing last week at the high school, an
nounced that Vermont is TO have a
teachers training institution OF which
the state will be proud He said that
he could not make definite announce
ment concerning this normal school as
yet, except that 1t viii be ready for
teachers who wish to take the train
ing course next year.
In speaking on the question of sal
aries he urged the teachers TO give
better value for the increased salaries
which they are receiving. He said
that IN proportion Vermont had done
more in the matter of increases than
most other states, and that in proper
ton to the assessed valuation of the
state, no state was making such sacri-
fees to provide teachers as is Yer
mont.
He gave the teachers many valuable
suggestions concerning their work fo1
another year. He advised them tc
secure legal contracts and to keep
those contracts If they wish TO con-
Gnue to teach in Vermont Already
several teachers have lost their state
certificates for breaking contracts
made with school committees.
Finally he announced that the
standard of certifcation in the state

Our Industrial Growth Noted.
Barre Times)


Northern Vermont appears to be In
a fair way to make distinct gains
through industrial development. Fol-
lowing the announcement of new in
dustries secured for Barton comes the
statement that S250.000 addition to
an existing plant in Derby Line is TO
be constructed, making the tap and
die industry there one of great i'm
portance. Then there Is the hustl-
ing busting city of Newport which Is
constantly showing signs of being
very much alive Those three places
as we'll as Orleans and North Troy
are reported TO be in need of housing
accommodations in order to take care
of the growing number of people who
are being attracted there by reason of
the industrial development. So it
seems that Industrial development
and population growth are not con-
fined TO the southern section of the
state by any means. Northern Veh
mont has to be reckoned with when
Vermont industrial conditions are
taken into consideration.
