vienna CLORIES
ARE DESCRIBED
BY CARRIER BOY
Paris Trails Austrian
Capital, He Says

Paris, reputedly the one gay spot
in a strife.torn Old World, plays
second fiddle to Vienna, the locale
of Strauss lifting waltzes, in the
opinion of Kirk Lech, according to
the tenor of a letter received by
Lech's folks here in Washington.
The youth is one of the Times
Herald group of carrier boys who
won a trip to Europe in contest
sponsored recently by the pub
Usher of those papers. The party
is now in Paris.
Vienna Described
Describing the ancient Austrian
metropolis, Leech wrote:
Someone in Germany said vi
enna was dead city but I am in
clined to believe he's very wrong.
This morning we went for a
tour of the city and for the first
time in Europe the sun Shone all
the while. We started at the opera
House and went round the Ring
StraSse, which is the most beautl-
full street in all Vienna. We saw
the various monuments to the
great composers who have lived
here. They include Mozart, Bee
thoven and Johann Strauss. The
statues are so numerous that 1t
would be difficult to even name
few of them. We saw the new and
old Imperial Palaces, Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier, and many inter
eSting sights before we entered
Schonbrunn Palace, home Of the
past rulers of Austria. They have
nearly all of the original furni'
ture, paintings and decorations.
Riding School
"The rooms all have secret
panels and most of them have dou-
BILE doors to keep people from hear
ing any matters of state being dis
cussed inside. To me the most in
teresting part of the palace was
the Spanish Riding School; though
we visited many of the 1900 rooms
of the palace. The coaches at the
riding school were still in excel
lent condition and from them we
could imagine some of the pomp
and ceremony of the coronations.
There were among the collection
such coaches as the one used by
Napoleon at his coronation.
"On our way back we passed
several buildings which were under
construction. The men wear no
shirts and seem to enjoy yelling
at one another. In Prague we saw
women mixing concrete and work
ing as hod-carriers, but here in
Vienna men do all that sort of
work.
On to Venice
"The most popular sport here
about seems to be mountain climb
ing, for you see many people with
packs on their backs and wearing
the hobnailed climbing shoes.
After dinner we went to an
amusement park. They have a
ferris wheel, 200 feet high, and
while at the top you can get an
excellent view of the city.
I'VE leave for Venice tomorrow,
and our only hope is that we have
as great a time as we have had in
Vienna"

ly-nominated members OF the
county board of education ana re-

Word reached mere yesterday
that Mr.. johnson has introduced
a bill calling for the repeal OF the
1885 game law which exempted
Currituck county from the state
wide laws covering migratory Wild
fowl and allowed this county 10
retain local control OF WoldfoWl
regulations in return for the sur
render to the state of license fees
collected from sportsmen.
So far as could be ascertalned
late yesterday, Mr.. johnson had
not been asked by the board OF
county commissioners or anyone
else to sponsor such a bill, and
the measure was seen as mat
ter of Johnson's own conception
Currituck residents generally
are satisfied with the manner IN
which the game situation has been
handled in this county and see
no coed reason why the law spon-
sored by Representative James A.
Taylor in 1885 should be repealed
1t is thought likely that TINS

Soaring Prices
They have seen cotton prices
shoot up $3.50 a bale since Feb

cents a pound here. Thirteen cent
cotton came three days later and
on March l topped the 1884 high
mark. 1t continued to rise, de-
spite profit taking, and with do
mestic mills roaring and foreign
demand clamoring, today passed
the IA cent level.
1t was the highest quotation
since June, 1880, when spot cot
ton brought 1888.
Cotton men are crying that
there is no cotton.
Booming prices nearly have
stripped the small warehouses,
farms and plantations of their
usual carryover. which can be
counted on in normal years to
amount to more than 1000 bales.
Cotton four and five years old is
coming out of retreats, and in
some cases the producers refuse to
sell after they get to market.
For practical purposes, the only
