 VIENNA, Dec. 1. The shabby taxicab drew up before my hotel a little lamely. The lean, heavily mus tached driver glanced at his meter, which plainly read six kronen.
 "zwei und sebensig tausend-sev- enty-two thousand kronen," he shouted.
 I had been warned that my bills would be calculated in thousands, but to get off train, drive to your hotel and be heralded in millionaire s figures was indeed surprise
 Twelve thousand times the sum registered on the meter. Thus has this old town of brilliance and cul- tural glory met the sudden avalanche of the Austrian crown
 Porters growl at you if you give them a 10000 crown note; they utter brief "danke" for 2O,000 The taxi driver charges you 10000 fol each bag you carry. The boy who opens the door accepts 500 crowns as an American would penny. A modest hotel luncheon costs you something near or just over a 50,0O( crown note, and dinner comes tc almost 100000 without wine.
 The old Vienna, which for years has been keeping neerdo-well for eigners luxuriously on miserable stipend from home, is now as dear for the Englishman as living in Lon don. With the sudden rise in the cost of living there has. been an equally sudden slump in the tour ist trade. The opera still goes on as music must ever continue in Wien. na, but the old flair, the brilliance the gayety, have entirely vanished
 Long lines of lazy carriages stand at the curbings; the horses grow more lean each day. The head waiter apologizes because he has nc liquors with which to mix an Ameri- can cocktail. Your own waiter of fers you every kind of potatoes save French friend We cannot make them any more," he whispers There is not enough fat yet"
 So the old brilliance of a dying city has fled at last, leaving behind a grand whirl of newly printed pa per crowns that no one regards with anything but cynical smile.
 There was a time when Vienna gathered grass and weeds which they boiled into sort of soup, oI prepared like spinach. That, and ar occasional slice of sausage, made g fairly palatable if not very nourish ing meal.
 Those days are gone, however, and for the man who has any money food can be purchased, and milk oi kind. Also there. Is plenty ot coal in Vienna for winter.
 Suddenly the big crash has come Tram fares leaped from few hun dred crowns to 1,700 and from 1,700 to 2,OO0. The workman earning 350, 900 crowns a week finds that he must pay 24,O00 of that in carfares only. A strong pair of boots costs 250,000 crowns A good suit will cost him S00,000, and cheap ha! or cap will cost him 150,000. If he has children he will be given spe cial milk permit that will allow a saving of 1,200 crowns a week or the cost of milk. If he is too pool to provide milk for his children. the American and English Friend So ciety will give him food ticket that will provide his family every fort night with one half pound each O cocoa, sugar, fat rice and soap one pound of dried milk or half litre of fresh milk each day.

Of the American league hinged in q

TESTING GRAIN ACTS
CONSTITUTIONALITY
Chicago Beard of Trade Asks Injunction
Against Enforcement of Act
Grounds of COMPLAINT.

CHICAGO. Oct. 30.-The Chicago
board of trade today made its first move
to test the constitutionality of the grain
futures act when it filed in federal dis
trict court here a petition for injunction
restraining the government from enforc-
ing the provisions of the act.
The law. enacted to take the place of
the former CapperTincher act. declared
unconstitutional by the supreme court,
was passed, to become effective Nov /.
The bill of complaint, filed by Henry
s. Robbins. counsel for the board
charges that the law seeks TO regulate
as interstate commerce trade that which
is wholly state trade; that it interferes
with state rights TO govern exchanges,
and that it seeks to deprive board MEM
bers of their property by admitting rep
resentatives of cooperative bodies and
permitting them to rebate commissions
in violation of rules observed by other
members.
Further charges of unconstitutionality
are made on the ground that the law
makes violation of its provisions a crime
"and constitutes the secretary of agricul-
ture the secretary of commerce and the
power to deprive offenders of their rights
to thereafter pursue lawful avocation :;
whereas such criminal laws are. under
the constitution enforceable only in
courts" with jury trial.
Other sections granting wide powers
of control to the secretary of agricul-
ture, who is given authority to designate
what exchanges shall or shall not be con-
tract markets. are attacked as unsound.
Fear of what might result from the
drastic provisions of the law. the COM
plant says may bring on "a serious dis
turbance of the grain markets of the
country.

SPEAKS IN BEHALF
OF SEVEN COLLEGES
Miss Harriet E. Osborne, Missionary in
China, i'm BrattIebOro Sunday
Offering Amounts to S63.

Miss Harriet E. Osborne, for several
years a missionary of the American
Board in Foochow, China, was the
speaker at union meeting in the Centre
Congregational chapel at 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, when an offering amount
ing to S63 was received for the fund be-
ing raised for the women'S union Christ
ian colleges of the Orient, in the interest
of which Miss Osborne came here.
Despite the fact that arrangements for
the meeting were made hurriedly, because
it was not known until Saturday that a
speaker could be secured, there was an
attendance of about 40 persons Their
close attention was held by Miss Os-
borne. who is a forceful speaker
She outlined the need of the seven
union colleges not one of which has an
adequate plant and at each of which
girls who are seeking a higher education
have to be turned away because of lack
of facilities and room at the colleges. To
meet this need III is necessary to raise
S3.000.000 for the purchase of land and
buildings for the seven institutions. two
of which are medical schools. OF the
total the Laura Spelman Rockefeller
memorial fund will give one-third on con-
dition that the remaining $4,000 600 be
secured by Jan. 1. 1923. There remains
to be raised 100000.
1t is probable that local committee
win be formed for follow-up work. In
many places the work is being taken up
by Woman's clubs, college clubs and
other undenOminati0nad and interdenom-
national groups interested in educational
work
Mrs. Henry w. Peabody, a wcll-known
missionary worker. spoke here about a
year ago along the same lines.

meeting yesterday and Rev. Dr. Herbert
