not solve Austrias problems. but it may be the
hrst step IN a movement which should result in
giving Austria fair chance to exist as an inde-
pendent state
AS an indication of the spirit-which is prevalent
among all classes of the Austrian population
recent decision of the Miners Union is significant
Aware, that the distressed population of Vienna
lace winter with available coal supply wholly
inadequate for the minimum needs of private in
dviduals, to say nothing of industrial plants, the
coal miners have agreed to work an additional
shit on Sunday for the usual wage
The excess of production over normal which
VIII result is to be sent to Vienna, the government
providing free transportation and the colliery own
ers selling the coal at cost
In connection with this question of coal, it
must be remembered that the present Austria, as
created by the Peace Conference, does not contain
those territories which formerly supplied the Aus
tro-Hungarian Empire with its coal. The Austrians,
therefore, are in great measure dependent upon
foreign countries for their fuel
Since those nations of Europe which produce
coal do not have sufficient for their own needs,
it can be easily understood that the situation in
Austria has been particularly acute. The shortage
OF coal has been by means the least of the con-
tributary of the failure of Austrian indus
try to recover
Very strenuous efforts have been made by the
tied resources which they possess. Their output
OF both anthracite and soft coal has been doubled
since 1918 Attempts have also been made to dis
cover and utilize other mineral fuel
Naphtha borings have been started in Upper
Austria and oil-shale mines are now being operated
in the Tyrol Exploitation of peat fields in various
parts of Austria has been attempted, but owing to
the difficulties of procuring the necessary machn-
cry from abroad and because of the floods of last
September, only very small output has been Sc
cured this year.
In an endeavor to cke out the available supply
of fuel the Warmewirtschaft Gesellschaft" the So
ciety of Calorihcation, has been founded and sub
sldized by the state 1t is the purpose of this
ciety to study existing heating arrangements and
to determine how and to what extent fuel be
saved by careful supervision by alteration
of the heating apparatus in
1t is also intended to instruct the public at
large and particularly the personnel of heating
plants in the best methods of utilizing the limited
ration of fuel which is available
There is doubt that Austrans are putting
forth their best efforts to work out their own SAL
vation but the difficulties against which they have
had to struggle have made their efforts appear to
be almost hopeless.
They have successfully fought the menace Of
Bolshevism in the midst OF conditions most favor
able for the of Red propaganda. A mod
crate government has been established and has
survived but Austrans declare that under the con-
ditions which have been imposed independent
government cannot long continue to exist

Political
Browsings
By Labert st. Clair.

Over in Georgetown there is an
old house that was built by one of
the early secretaries of the Treas
ury which has about 100 rooms.
1t now is cut up into apartments of
anywhere from a room to a room
and half apiece and, sometimes.
the room is found on one floor and
the half room on a floor above.
There are so many winding stair
ways. hooks and crannies in the
house that mothers with more than
one child and no nurse find it well
to put bells on their broods to keep
track of them.
The backyard Of the house is a
wonder. 1t includes in its decora-
tions an open-air theater. a chapel
which never is used. a sun porch
with cafeteria chairs for ambitious
writers, and. finally, a vault with
a grated door which some day will
contain the body of a real man, it
is said. Just now the somewhat
unusual owner Of the house has the
body Of a cigar store Indian in the
vault. Beside the Indian is a birch
bark canoe. But II the Indian should
come to life and try to row his
way across the nearby Potomac he
probably would be disappointed.
For the canoe is only about eighteen
inches long.
The owner of the place makes a
speciality Of buying up the remains
of old churches and, no matter what
kind of junk he may acquire, he al
ways hnds a place around the dwell
ing for 1t.
It is understood that Jimmy Sloan,
who was Col. Roosevelt's right
hand bodyguard in the old days, is
coming back to Washington with
Harding. He has been travelling
with Harding for several months.
Should Sloan return here, Hard
ing would not try to wear him out
by long hikes, or to evade him.
Col. Roosevelt who was somewhat
more of an athlete than Harding
is reputed to be, tried this and
failed. Jimmy weighs only about
$50 pounds, but he is built Of steel.
His father before him was a county
sheriff. a railroad detective and did
other forms of secret service work
which gave him valuable training
that he handed down to Jim. Just
for good measure, too, Jim's brother
was a deputy sheriff in Illinois.
Allan Ryan. who stirred up quite
a bit of excitement in New York
last summer by squeezing the Wall
Street boys who were short on StutZ
stock. came down to Washington to
see John Skelton Williams, a few
days ago, and that made the WISE
acres scratch their heads. Because
John and Allsn's pa, Tom Fortune

bosom companions.
In fact, Williams never did like

Unless the advocates of the pro-
posed blue laws can rouse the same

Shift from Puritana
OF late years the popular senti-
ment against every vestige of the
Puritan Sabbath has been spreading
rapidly and far. We have Sunday
baseba and Sunday shows. When
the weather is not too cold or too
wet it seems as il every family in
the land was crowded into its little
"bus" on a Sunday, rolling along
the highway on a pleasure party.
Any Gordon of modern Puritans
which tries to hold the road against
them is sure to be smashed beneath
the rubber tires.
Puritanism was not the product
of a lobby. 1t was the natural and
inevitable reaction of turned stom-
achs. when the social life of Eng
land had become hopelessly corrupt
in the middfe of the seventeenth
century the decent common people
were quite ready to listen to a re-
former.
If we ever become as sodden as
those who made Puritanism seem
necessary, We may expect an era
of blue laws. Until then neither
the man at the country club nor the
small boy on the back lot diamond
will have cause to worry about
blue lsws.-Uncle Dudley in the
Boston Globe.

Aushia's Struggle

Many reports sent from Austria vvidly de-
seribe the gayety which prevails in the face of de-
plorable conditions existing there today The in
ference that may be drawn IN America from these
reports that the people spending the greater
part of their time and energies in a desperate at

from starvation by the benevolence of America. is
not consistent with the facts
The Austrians, it is true, are earefree and
|pleasure-ovng people but the very fact that they
have been able to escape Bolshevism and bar
barism reveals the possession of qualities more
valuable than a great love of pleasure. Since the
armistice Austria has been making splendid fight
for its Ife though handicapped by thevery severe
conditions of the treaty of ST. German

Mercury and Venus are in strongly

mildly adverse.
Women come much into public
notice at this time through some
national movement, the seers fore
tell.
This is a sway most favorable to
all high ambitions that women
cherish and should be helpful to ef-
forts toward their realization.
Weddings have the best possible
direction, of the stars on this date,
which promises constancy, pros

Entertainments of every sort, es-
pecially literary. assemblies, are
subject to the most fortunate in
fiuences.
Girls should fnd the rule an
auspicious one for meetings with
strangers, young and of opposite
sex. The stars are believed to cast
a giamor over womanhood, impart-
ing new charms and giving power
to command lasting interest.
A falling on in the number of
marriages is prognosticated for the
coming year. This may be due
largely to an increased independence
on the part of young women.
Agitation concerning the mingling
of the darker races with the white

TRAJNMEN UNHURT
WHEN CABIN CAR IS
HURLED OFF TRACK
Thirteen Freight Cars Derailed at
Wyoming While One Train Was
Passing Another Today.
BOTH TRACKS BLOCKED

Several members of the crew of the
Delaware railroad southbound freight
special. No. 500, narrowly escaped death
about 2 o'clock this morning when four
cars preceding the cabin car, in which they
were riding, were hurled from the tracks
and completely wrecked BY string of l3
cars on northbound freight, extra, No.
1891. which became derailed near Wy
oming station Just as the two trains were
passing each other. The cabin car was
Knocked from the train, but none of its
occupants was hurt.
The cars on the northbound freight
were derailed by broken journal in the
seventeenth car from the engine. The
southbound train was nearly clear at the
time and only the rear end was damaged.
Both trains were proceeding slowly AZ the
time, thus preventing any more serious
pile-up.
North and southbound traffic over the
division has been in bad order all morning.
The track Mt the scene Of the wreck Is
torn up and the lading of the cars which
were scattered about, numbered the work
of clearing up the situation. The cargo
of the wrecked cars consisted of shocks,
wire, lumber and piling Wreck trains
from CLAYTON and Delmnr were called out.
later in the morning and backed to
Wyoming. where the passengers OF north
bound train, No. 452, due in Wilmington
at S.42 this morning, and of the Rehoboth
special, No 454, due here at S.52, were
transferred around the wreckage. The
special got into Wilmington several hours
late. Southbound traffic was restored by
ii o'clock this morning. The northbound
tracks are expected to be cleared by 6
o'clock tonight.
With the wrecking of the train going
north and colliding with the one going
south, cars were shot in all directions,
completely covering the two tracks, shut
ting off all traffic for some time.
The Norfolk midnight express had just
passed Wyoming station when the wreck
occurred. In fact, the caboose of one of
the freight trains just cleared the pas
senger train when the accident happened.
Passenger and freight trains were lined
up both north and south of Dover. Short
ly after $50 o'clock passengers from the
Rehoboth special were transferred at
.Wymoing, and train ran down close to
the wreck and brought them north.
The loss, it is believed will reach $50, 600.
