Universities May
Collapse Vienna
Associated Press

VIENNA, June 30--The universi-
ties and technical institutes of Wen
ma are on the verge of collapse ac-
cording to a report Of the chairman
of the committee for education.
Their grants are still on the scale
fixed in 1918 which the falling crown
and enhanced prices make mere pit
tance. For instance the entire sub
sidy of the Meteorological Institute
does not suffice to subscribe for one
English periodical considered to its
work.
All Of the colleges are five years
in arrears of scientific publications
and in debt for old materials. Lab
ratory utensils have increased in pri'
ce to more than 20 times pre-wai
cost while chemical and medical sup
plies have reached fantastic prices
Cocaine is cited as a striking exam
pie. Costing formerly 200 crowns
kilogram (of 2,20 poundsl it is nov
worth 4S,000 Iodine is worth $500
crowns the kilogram. Platinum il
practically unpurchasable, the quota
ton being 65OO00 crowns the kilo
gram,
Vivisection has been abandoned be
cause of the cost Of animals, mechan
ical studies stopped for lack of mac
| hinery throughout the list of techni
cal schools the same conditions exist
Formerly the government provid
ed needy students with the necessar!
materials and equipment for scienti
fic work, but now the enrolment i
five times greater than before th'
war.

WHERE THE REMEDY LIES.

While the incoming tide of prices and demand
seems at the flood, it is increasingly evident that
the very acuteness of the situation is already be-
ginning to create its own remedy. For there is
fast spreading resentment among the mass OF
consumers at the steady piling on of burden OF
high prices with no immediate sign of relief, but
only babel of tongues, while innumerable organ
izatons form to fight the high cost of living and
get nowhere,
There is likewise dim but growing conscious
ness among these same consumers, that to some
extent the remedy lies in their hands by sanel
spending, and by abstinence from those things
where profiteering is too obvious to be concealed
What we do not perceive, yet which is read
lily apparent, is that the times are out of joint
because of the spirit bred by the war, and that
its effects are today turning the world topsy
turyy.

INEFFICIENT EFFICIENCY.

Simpificaton is great desderatum in these
piping postwar days. Even the communistic
government in Hungary got the idea. Its "simpIi-
fled procedure for the benefit of a man who wan
ted to replace broken window ran in this wise:
Get certificate from the duly elected repre-
sentative responsible for the house, setting forth
in legal exactness the pertinent facts about the
damaged window. Have the certificate counter
signed by the engineering bureau OF the workers
council for the district. Take the countersigned
certificate to the district GLACIERS office, who in
due course will have his subordinate measure the
offending window and estimate the cost of its re-
habitation. Obtain from the district glazier af-
ter his functions are completed, ticket setting
forth his findings and the cost. Take this ticket
to the central glaciers office and pay the price
shown by the ticket and receive a labor card
Carry this card back to the district gla2ier who
will eventually have his workmen insert new
pane of glass

HIDING THE NATIONS FINANCES.

Secret finance almost became almost reality
in the United States in April. The Public Printer
seems to resemble the other men who ply his trade
in being a canny gentleman. Accordingly when
he perceived that Congress had refused the Treas
wy bit of money with which to pay him cash
for its publication, he refused to grant cent of
credit. Forthwith the daily and monthly state
ments which show how the public finances are
going, ceased abruptly. Treasury officials enjoyed
the exclusiveness of photostatic tabuations
which were kept strictly confidential, and the
public was left completely in the dark, at a
time when the governments transactions remain
in fancy figures.
There are limits to the obiuracy even of prin-
ter, and the governments printer yielded event.
.ua1y but apparently only after he had the best
of assurances that Congress would make another
appropriation.

DISCUSS HOUR
OPENING GAMES
-Four Thirty Has Been Fixed For Tins
Week--Trying Get Catcher
TO Aid Gurley.

There has arisen in this city a dis
cussion as to the best hour in the al
ternoon for calling the bali games.
The hour was changed this week be-
cause many of the fans thought 4:3O
a better hour to call the ball games
than 400 o'clock. However, the balI
club is anxious to fix the time Of call
ing the game to suit the majority Of
fans in this city and county The
games this week have been announe-
ed for 4:3O and will be started at that
hour for this series, We would like
to have an expression from the people
as to what hour suits them best.
The Greenwood team is going good
and fine exhibitions Of bali have been
given at the park. A new outfielder
from University Of Michigan will be
seen in the games with GreenyiIle,
and a new pitcher from this same un-
iversity will arrive tomorrow after
noon. The management is trying
bard to secure another catcher to
help the classy little catcher Dick
Gurley who has had all of the work
to do up to this time. We hope to
have him here before this series with
Greenyille closes. Many new faces
will be seen on the GrcenvilIe team
from the ones in the last games play

Hero Saves Train
From Being Wrecked
Associated Press

OMAHA, Neb., June 3O-IN the re-
cent South Dakota floods John Will
liams, a section foreman, swan a
swollen creek at night in hailstorm
to warn a passenger train that a
bridge had gone out. He stripped
himself and tied the danger signals
to his back, After he had set them,
he approached nearby house, then
remembered his negligee, and swan
back across the 600 feet of swirling
current.
The passenger train, it developed
iater, was stopped farther up the road
at point, where the railroad men
had little hope of halting it. Will
iam's heroism however was not over
looked by the railroad officials.
The bridge was the Burlington's
over Hat Greek near Ardmore, s. D.
The Hat Creek flood tied up traffic
for eight days, cost seven lives, and
did 100000 damage to the one road.
Several days after the flood the
section foreman was looked up by a
newspaper man from the city. He
found him directing a gang of labor
ers repairing the washout, He said:
Il just figgered the chances was
probably against me gitten' across
but it was only my life against 15O
passengers on No. az, and | figgered
that the train would be runnin' pret-
ty fast when they came up to the
bridge and they might be into it
before they saw it, so l walked up the
creek a half mile, stripped off my
clothes, tied my red lantern, red flag
and torpedoes to my back, and swum
across.
There wasn't so many trees out
there and she was only about 600 feet
wide but the water was full of hail
stones and cold. 1t was rainin' to
