LARGE CROPS GIVE
 AUSTRIA RETRIEVE
American Flour Has Also Proven Great Boon to
 Starved Population
TNu
By Associated Press

Vienna, July 24.-Bountiful crops of early fruit and vegetables and promise of an abundance of harder later yields from field and orchard. with the big Americany flour credit still avail able for the ration of daily bread have given Austria a reprieve from the ter rible hardships of last winter
 Fats are as scarce as ever, however. but in this gracious weather their need is not so kenly felt. Meats, too, Is scanty and high, beyond reach of the masses. The American flour credit will be exhausted before the winter sets fairly in and no man in Austria knows from where or by what means it will be replaced.
 Strikes and disturbances in the Teschen coal fields, the situation in Silesia, virtual suspension of the Hun garian supply little as it was. and. finally, Austrias inability to enforce even the meager contractual supplies rom Bohemia. have prevented the hoped for accum mutation of a modest t fuel reserve during the summer months. Public utilities of Vienna are reported to have but a weeks reserve of coal for power and light and less than a month of gas coal at a mini mum consumption. The last Austrian pig iron oven in operation has just drawn it's fires for lack of coke.
 Into this situation has been injected a curious business phase resulting from the increased value of the crown

TranscontinentaL Volume
 OF Automobile Blue Book

Once upon time, in the Dear Dim Past, if a motorist ventured eighty-six speedomster miles away from the portals of his home town. there was a mayors committee to welcome his return; the local Gazette linked his name with that of the late Mir Boone and he was some body.
 No difference if his car returned by fast freight.
 He was a hero.
 Nowadays, a motorist who hasn't driven his car in at least six states. sits in jealous silence in the back of any self-propelled fathering and resolves to burst out at the first opportune moment on a long distance tour.
 The reason is obvious. No one merely drives a car any more. He tours or he loses caste at the club and his Mrs. is pitied every Tuesday before she arrives for bridge.
 But the six states and even those who own and use five different volumes of the Automobile Blue Books aren't sats- fled More and more of them are speak ing of the coast-to-coast trip as "a jaunt." And Louisiana licenses aren't

GROWTH OF AUTO INDUSTRY CAN BE
 SEEN FROM FIGURES

An idea of the growth and importance of the automobile industry may be gained from 1919 statistics recently made public by the National Automobile Cham Der of Commerce." says w. S. Edwards of the Edwards Motor Company, local dealers in Chevrolet passenger and com mercial cars.
 "The capital invested in 1919, not in- cluding parts and accessories, equaled $, ,015, AS, 33S. This exceeds by four times the capital of all New York City banks by s126, 33S
 The number of miles travelled per pas senger by automobiles last year was oo per cent greater than by railroad.
 "One million nine hundred seventy four thousand sixteen new cars were produced in 1919 and it is interesting to note that this was more than enough to give one to every child born the same year in this country d,S5s ,7s2) and to supply the 1917 baby crop of France (343319).
 "The total number of vehicles in use in the United States on January l. 1920, was 7,5SS.S4s. This is one for every four teen persons in the country. And if these cars were placed in a row only four feet apart they would completely encircle the earth
 The introduction to these facts and figures is interesting. First among fin- ished products is the position of the mo- tor vehicle industry in the nations busi- ness At the same time, it is one of the basic industries. The motor car is the new transit of the country. to which the time of the individual and the handling of short-haul freight has been attuned. From comparative toy or novelty it has become a necessity.
 Nearly one-third of the output is used in agriculture"

marriage Very different is the tale they tell you in Seoul from that which you get at Tokio.
 Most Japanese will tell you that in giving Prince Vi one of the most beau tiful and high-born ladies of Japan to wed, the Japanese government is doing its best to atone for the errors and offenses committed by the military party in Korea: that the marriage is, in fact, part and parcel of the policy of conciliatory liberalism. which aims at making the Koreans capable and contented citizens of the empire, with equal rights and representation They point to the fact that the administra- ton of the country is now in the hands of progressive and broad minded civil Hans and that the condition of the people, infinitely better than ever it was under the old regime, is steadily improving; both of which facts are un. deniable. When the Koreans get the measures of local self government which have been promised them and full representation in the Imperial Diet, the cry of self-determniation'' will have nothing behind it bu the pro- fessional agitator and the mushy sen timentalist, who is always for the un- der dog. no matter how he got there.

TAKE GOOD CARE OF .ROMAGNE CEMETERY
French to Buy Adjoining Land for Use In Beau
 tifying Grounds
By Associated Press


 Paris, July 25.-ln order to prevent any commercial encroachment upon Romagne cemetery, where 2S,000 American soldiers are buried, the French government has been asked by the American army graves lregistration service authorities to pur- chase the gentle slope facing in front' of the cemetery, as well as plots at both sides
 | The Romagne, Suresnes and Belleau Woods cemeteries have been approved by the Secretary of War as the permanent resting places of more than 5000 soldier dead who will continue to sleep in French soil. Suresnes, which is on the slope of Mont Valerien, one of the forts built to defend Paris, is already protecy- | ed against encroachment of any sort. | and the same is nearly true of Belleau Woods
 | The extra ground to be purchased at Romagne will not only safeguard the cemetery against any encroachment, but will provide areas which will be used by American horticultural experts to sur round the hallowed spot with trees and shrubbery. At the present time the ceme- tery is surrounded only with long wall, and there is no available space for planting.
 The Identification of tbs cemetery will not begin for some months as most of the bodies in the cemetery now are to be removed to America. and this work will not start until mid-September, and cannot After this work is finished bodies from other cemeteries will be moved in

Should Be Honestly Earned

CnarleS Aubrey Eaton, in Leslie'S.
 If man takes wages for, work, he
 ought to earn the wages by doing
 the work. And right here is where our
 industrial system is breaking down.
 As wages go up, production goes down. And this will continue until the goose Is killed which lays the golden eggs,
 unless the worker brings himself un- der the common law of right and duty
 and gives value for money received. If the worker will pluck out of his soul the idea which has ruined bigger men than he that you can get something for nothing, he will find most of his problems solved and his unrest cured The employer has ben the heavy yil-
 lain in the industrial play, but this part is now being taken by the em- ploye. The employer failed in it. The employe will also fail. High wages
 are most desirable both for the comic Tt or the wage-earner and for the gem eral good of society A broad and equitable distribution of wealth is the only possible foundatio for a perma- | nent prosperous and progressive eco homie order. But to distribute wealth | by means of high wages without cor responding high production on the pa Tt | Of the wage-earner is flying in the
 face of multiplication table. In the end it benefits no one and injures every one. Three-quarters of our in- dustrial unrest would disappear over night If every worker would 20 to work. And the remaining problems could find speedy settlement, for an | employe who produces 100 per cent, Is in position to get anything he has
 right to ask from his employer. Wonder Cascade
 Dame Nature has found in a landscape | t-t ,4
 for so skilfully has he constructed an
 elaborate cascade that the entire work
 would readily pass as natures own to
 practically every observer. The extent
 Of the work can be realized from the fact that the cascade is 70 feet high more than 100 feet long and throws nearly 500,O0O gallons of water every A hours over it's precipice, according to illustrated ar ticle appearing in the Popular Mechanics Magazine
 The big wall, with it's abutments, form ing the framework of the cascade, was first made in the usual manner by de- posting concrete between plank forms.
 Into this concrete wall were set small iron rails and one-half inch rods about feet bong. which were intended to sup port the artificial work that hides the wall proper Each of the large powders rests on two rails, well cemented into it a quarter of '-s length from either end. Four or around the tops and sides we ed with the rails; then other crossed and fastened to these pru rg a skeleton framework This framework was then covered with wire mesh and coated with mortar. In addition to the wire mesh rocks that are suspended on the wall and overhang the large pool there are also few solid over- hangs built up from the floor of the pool.

as common in Bosten as-wel as Massa- chusetts licenses are in San Diego.
 The long tour is long no longer.
 And recognizing this fat. and be- cause of tons of inquiries, the makers of the Automobile Blue Books have add ed another to their eleven volumes of road guidance.
 The transcontinental volume, ''Volume T."-just published, is a new tour Bible especially built to satisfy that lust for long tours.
 While the minute details of the other volumes are not included the tourist may travel where he will over main routes to any prominent point within the four walls of America and have complete road guidance every mile of the way. Volume T, say the Blue Book scouts, contains S5,0o0 miles of roads-not in- cluding return routes-and considering that it is only about 3,4O0 miles from San Francisco to New York, the scope of the information included can be appreciated. Besides indicating the best roads or the long-tour motorist, there are hun dreds of city and sectional maps, points of interest, information on hotels, ga rages, service stations-in fact, most of the merits of the more local volumes on a broader scale.

Canvas Water Tank

The rotting and molding of fodder in ble by the average farmer, can now be prevented by the use of a patented wa ter seal, says an Illustrated article in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. This is simply tank of canvas, which has been waterproofed with asphalt and which measures about two feet high and three inches wider than the silo interior. When the ensilage is all in place and leveled off. this canvas tank is spread upon the top. The sides are raised and are kept erect before filling and are tied to the tank by twne through eyes along the edge.

on foreign chance. In the late winter and early spring the crown dropped as low as $50 to the dollar on private exchange. Encouraged by this a small export trade was nourished. Austrian factories, famous for certain forms of finished articles, began to resume op- erations on limited scale foreign buyers seeing a good business chance in the low crown value against stand ard monies
 Manufacturers were able to get ad- vances of credit to secure coal and needed raw materials. It was a good speculation for foreign values. Then the minister of finance, Dr. Reisch, dropped a hint one day during a de- bate in the assembly that it would be wise if Austrian retail sellers were to raise their crown prices to the equiv alent of foreign values. They did it. suit of clothes that cost from 5000 to 1000 crowns rose in price to from 1000 to 1S,000 crowns Everthina else went up in proportion.
 Then the government. acting on the same principle, is reported to have gone on the Zurich exchange, which controls crown quotations, with large amounts of foreign money and forced the crown up. Their efforts were as- sisted unexpectedly by an influx into Austria of foreign money speculators. Appreciation of the monies of the other countries of central and eastern Eur ope made this their last field for spec ulation Pounds, dollars and francs became plentiful with small demand and the crown rose in value until the
 ,cial price was 130 to the dollar and l5O in private deals. Retail prices continued to go up, so that with the rise in the crown cutting foreign values one-half, the plan literally "cut it's own throat"
 Foreign buyers quit. Retail trade stagnated Native Austrians did not know whether, to laugh or cry at a straw hat in window bearing the price mark of 1000 crowns. But they were not sold
