Vienna NOtables
Seek L0wly Work

BERLIN, Feb. ia pensioned
privy councillor of the former Aus
trian emperor and professor of
philosophy were among SAT appi-
cants for the position of hotel porter
advertised by a hotel in Vienna.
The answers throw light on con
ditions in Austria, the ward of the
League of Nations, and Vienna the
"dying fairy city in particular.
Only so of the S47 applications
were from persons who would nor
mally come into consideration for
the job as porter The rest were
from the Socallcd "cducated middle
class, university men, laid off
bank officials, professional men who
are unable to make a living.
The privy councillor, whose name
would be we'll known IL former
court circles, wrote he had two
children to care for and he prefer
red the job as porter to one Of.
posi- bly,, some office assistant at a
salary of probably l,500,000 crowns

bright or so gay as to occasion a bit
of a laugh, or even criticism, the re-
action has been of a cheerful sort.
In a country like our own the prob
lem Of dressing for wet weather has
difficulties, but not such complicated
difficulties as it has in England.
Usually when we start out we can tell
whether it is going to be fair or foul
for the next few hours. In England
the only practical rule is that if the
skies are fair it is likely to rain, and
IL they are gray it will doubtless clear.
And even that rule doesn't always
work.
No one wants to go about in rain
clothes all the time, even If they are
bright in color and gay in design.
Once English women solved the prob
lem by choosing heavy, stodgy street
clothes for all occasions-ciothes that
could not be harmed even if it did
rain. A safe but not always comfort
able plan is to carry mac" and an
umbrella on all occasions. Newer
than this Is the trick of carrying a
little wet-weather kit. This Is no
larger than a rather large underarm
purse and of smart appearance. 1t
is rubber lined and contains a clever
folding umbrella, a feather-weight
waterproof, as well as a mirror and
purse.
The advent Of the gay and colorful
raincoats Of the season is even hav-
ing its effect on some of the college
campuseS here, where on rainy days
one quite frequently sees one of these
new, really attractive raincoats in
place of the shapeless, jaundicehued
slicker that was considered a smart
novelty not long ago.

Clues to Character
BY J. O. ABERNETHY.
The Arched Beak.

Arches bespeak strength, whether
in nature or the works of man. The
beak Of the bird of prey Is a manifes-
tation Of strength and harmonious
construction. A prominent convex
beak is characteristic of the class OF
rapacious birds, such as vultures, con-
dors, eagles, falcons, hawks. kites and
owls. This arched beak is an illustra-
tion of superior strength and power.
Whenever you find an arched beak
In birds or animals, you will observe
that 1t reflects strength, power and the
entire character of him who wears it.
If you will carry out this reasoning
further you will see that the arch in
the human face and body has exactly
the same meaning.
Who hasn't noticed that the man
with a big nose, well arched and
heavy boned, is a person of strong
character. You will find that the
chap with we'll arched nose Is ag-
gressive, both physically and mentally.
Visualize the aggressive, so-called
high.power salesman, the chap who
bores in regardless of consequences;
think of the prize fighter with an
arched beak, and you will know that
he is the fellow who always carries
the fight to his oppOnent-win or lose.

My Neighbor Says:

To clean papered ceilings,
mix two cups of -four with cold
water to a stiff paste. Roll into
a ball with dry flour and rub
the ceiling. AS the paste grows
dirty dip in fresh flour, and
when finished dust the ceiling
with a soft duster.
If you wish to keep a fire all
highland 1t Is so much more
economical to do so than to
build new fire every morn
ing--open all the drafts, shake
the fire down carefully until
all the ashes are out, put on
sprinkling of coal. let it burn
up red, then bank up and leave
the drafts open just a crack.
In the morning open the drafts
until the required heat is OBJ
tanned. After using the fire all
that is needed is to shake out
the ashes as at night, bank up
and close the drafts.
Sandpapering baby's shoes be-
fore they are worn prevents
slipping and saves many fall.
Grease marks on pages of
books may be removed by
sponging them with benzine,
placing them between two
sheets of blotting paper and
pressing with hot iron.
A splendid shoe polish can be
made by mixing a little milk
with ordinary backing. After
rubbing a small quantity on
the leather very little "elbow
grease" will be required.
