Funds Needed Now
In a round table discussion Of
ways and means of financing the

the city and county boards secure
funds for the work from sources
other than those derived from tax
alton for the contemplated emer-

W. D. McCaig appealed to the
city and county boards to consider
more fully the emergencies thai
are likely to arise before and after
the opening of the Wilmington anti

Ridge. He said it would be abso'

quate toilet facilities. a social room
for the soldiers and their parents
to congregate, which must be taken
care of some way.
McCaig asked the two bodies

The North Carolina tax, enacted

H. Nye and L. C. Mayors of Lum-

The men appealed from the

The contempt charges arose out
of alleged efforts of the two men

SIGNS TO CHANGE
ON VIENNA SHOPS
my Associatcd I'rcss)

VIENNA, Apr. 11.--Shop signs
in foreign languages, especially
French and English, fell into dis
grace with city authorities. All
Viennese newspapers, obviously
on command from higher-ups,
started a. violent campaign
against what some papers termed
the nuisance of foreign language
signs"
French and English signs 'Tail-
leur" or Tailor" are frequent.
The-papers' argument for the re-
moval of these signs and their
substitution by German ones is
that neither in Paris nor in Lon
don nor in other cities in France
or England will German language
signs be found in shops of any
kind"
This drive is reminiscent of a
similar campaign at the outbreak
of the World war in 1914, when,
within a few weeks, French and
English designation of shops and
names of old-established restau-
rants and amusement places dis
appeared.
