vIENNESE
 ARE NEARLY BACK TO NORMAL

Vienna, June 30-Finance and eco monies seem to have parted company in Austria. With its money situa- tion chaotic there is at the same torment of conditions of living.
 Travellers revisiting Vienna say they do not recognize the city of year ago. The mass of the people food is shown in their healthy ap pearance. The green and saIlow faces have disappeared and on the whole the Viennese are nearly back to normal as far as external evidence goes.
 Paris can hardly show more fashionably gowned crowd of women than that which turns out for the ring promenade in the afternoon or throngs the high-class shopping dis trict in the mornings.
 The shop display of luxurious wares ofevery description increases until the Arbeiter Zeitung says it exceeds Vienna's best days of before the war The same newspaper admits there is steady progress and ibetterment in business and general conditions.
 The famous delicatessen shops are reopening with almost their old-time excellence. The windows are filled with fancy dainties for which the city was noted, canned stuffs of the finest American crackers and biscuits are common in the groceries, the candy shops are restocked and while last winter a pound of sweets was virtu- ally unprocurab1e the finest fresh bon-bonS now are to be had in any quantity.
 White bread is served in nearly every restaurant and the bakery, win dows again display the famous Vienna pastries and cakes. In the poorer districts even the butcher shops and groceries reflect the same condition.
 Turning to finances the current statement of the AuStro-Hung ngarian bank speaks for it. There are at the moment 45,0o0,0o0.00O crowns in cir culation and 100000 outstand- ing treasury notes issued to the banks for discount. But this cheap money is plentiful. Everyone seems to have it and to be spending it. EnorTn ously advanced prices for everything seem not to have affected the volume of business Printing presses are now turning out a round 5000, 100000 crowns a month to meet the govern ment expenses. The current budget shows a deficit of 50,o00, ,000,0 900 crowns. The wealth levy has produc- ed thus far about 9,000,000,0 crowns, one-ha1f of which was paid in war bonds, leaving enough cash from this source to meet about one months running expenses for the government.

MUCH
 BUSINESS FROM
 AUTOMOBILISTS

With the arrival of the summer touring season hundreds of automo- bile travellers are invading Massachu- sets, Rhode Island and the other New England states. The lure of points of rare historic interest and of natural beauty, or of resorts fa- nous throughout the East, apparent ly is stronger than ever before while the superb smooth surface highways of the region make travel by motor a delight.
 From the economic standpoint, the summer influx of motor tourists is of extreme importance At ho- tels and garages, stores and other establishments travellers each sum mer spend large sums. At Chelsea, Newport, Gloucester and other favor 1te summering places lavish enter tainments by sojourners will be stag ed as the season progresses, and many will make the journey to and from the great cities of the east via machines
 During the next three months there will be a constantly mounting string of automobiles speeding through New summer playground of those seeking England, which has become the great respite from the heat. To the splendid highways this popularity of the section is due in a large meas ure.
 Massachusetts early realized the need for good roads and as a result today possesses many miles of smooth, dustless, resilient highways, with durable stone held by native lake asphalt in a grip that even the heavy summer traffic cannot break Many miles of these motor roads have been constructed on old waterbound thoroughfares unsuited for automobiles, but which provided excellent foundations for new tops.
 Other states have followed the ex- ample of MasSa chuSettS and as a re suit they have become almost equally popular with summer tourists. To the average recreatiCn seeker good roads are a requisite, since adjust ments and repairs to his car do not fit in well with the holiday spirit
 As the system of good roads is ex- tended, new points are added to the itinerary of tourists, and new pros perity comes to towns and residents. The tourist season of tho present year promises to surpass those of the past, and highway officials in all sections are rapidly making ready the roads under their Jurisdiction
 In no section of the country prob ably are there roads so uniformly good the famed bituninous high ways which traverse New England.

American Tourists Suffer From Crude and Inefficient

 Paris, June 3O-Some day after France has settled all her foreign troubles and turned attention to do- mestc affairs, a Government is go- ing into power on a pledge to swat the French laundries, and if it makes good it will last forever.
 A few days after he hits France and begins travelling the provencial towns, the average American turns all his wrath on the absence of bathtubs and comfortable barber. chairs. After he has been around a while he wishes he had saved 90 per cent of his pro- fanity for the laundries.
 The two million Americans who came over to fight in the great war and found themselves quartered in villages behind the front thought the sman-town laundry" ridiculous and affair indeed. The "b1anchisseuse'' took fathers best shirt down to the edge of the nearest creek or river. laid it on a flat stone, soaped it and then beat 1t to death with a heavy scrub brush.
 But the shirt generally came out clean, if 1t escaped alive, and mother only had to sew on the missing but tons to make it ready for Sunday wear. All that Is entirely different in Paris and other big towns, which not only boast regular 'laundries' but others which Haunt the sign "Ameri-
 
 eight hours"
 Some people profess to see a great difference between the regular French laundries and the dozens of meri- can' 1aundrieS scattered about Paris They say the so-ca1led American in stitutions are much worse. Regular resident Americans, who see their striped shirts come back minus the stripes. their best silk shirts come back in silk ribbons and their under wear (male) replaced by unmistak- ably female things with ribbons. think their is no difference at all-

 The Ecclesiastical Commissioners have raised the fees for marriages. The c1ergyman's minimum, which used to be s1.60 (to transiate), or thereabouts. is now S3.3S.
 ''Uet us hope this raising of the fee will not make the swains in our parishes more shy, more hesitating, more cool and calculating.
 If it does, then the village maid ems must rise to the occasion and see to their charms and show the stern and faltering by extra arts and blal-dishments, by an offensive more bewitching and coy, that they are well worth the extra SITS, and a good deal more into the bargain

CBy EARL C. REEVES

London, June 30-That age-old suspicion that most of the dope of Beatrice Fairfax and other "advisers to the lovelorn' is really showed into print by various mere men, in over grown boards and shirtsleeves, tongue in one cheek, gets a jolt.
 Maybe it's the ministers.
 A minister of the gospel, to the vil- lage of Foxley, pens an announcement which brands him an adept. If he hasn't been conducting an advice-to- lovers column, Northcliffe, the Brit ish super-pu blisher, should send one of his bright youag men immediately to sign 8 contract.
 The high cost of being married has been increased by an addition to the cost of getting married.
 The Rev. H. L. Warneford makes
