Money Goes Far "As you probably know I am mak- ing a tour through Europe. After "touring England, France, Switzerland, I spent about a month in Vienna. Americans surely get a run for their money in that country, where the exchange ran 3000 Kronen for the dollar. : «Multitudes of foreigners are visiting Vienna and having a wonder- ful time. Tt really is surprising in what good spirits one finds these people after the many rigorous past years, then too when one considers the poverty which exists with so many. But a music loving people rises above every calamity. And one surely finds music here. In spite of every opportunity for drinking one 1s ~amazed at the lack of drunkenness. Quite different from our Prohibition country. : "The Grand opera is on now and I was privileged to enjoy several won- derful performances. The son of Johann Strauss is leading the new opera "The Woman Without a Shadow", his own composition. My friends and self received many love- lv invitations into the homes of prom- ~inent Viennese who dispensed royal hospitality. We were delighted to discover how well the Americans are really liked. A atneying on we went south to Venice. Arriving amidst the usual clash and clamor of gondetas, men, bageage., etc., at last we found our-i id headed toward our hotel | through thg «Grand Canal".

Crossing to Genoa we discovered the place from which Christopher Colum- bus sailed to discover us. American Jazz There "On to Nice, Menton and Monte Carlo, the Queen of Trance. The game is a wonder, the Casino magni- ficent. A study to watch the players as well as your own game. The best of luck is to get away with as much as one put in the game. American Jazz in plenty at the Cafe de Paris. " «Met the Australian writer James Francis Dwyer at Nice. He has con- tributed more than a thousand stories for American magazines and he just sold his story "They came to Ophir", to the Photo Play. He is about to feature travel letters for the American public. «Came down to Rome and spent some days with Nero, Julius Caesar, and other ancients, at least saw their palaces, baths and wonder- ful coliseum, etc. St. Peter's and the Vatican occupied another day. Now here I am in Naples across from Mt. Vesuvius, where I expect to spend some time in sightseeing. We sail from here to Sicily, Algiers, Portugal, the Azores and on to New York.

HOARDING IS NOT THRIFT The Erie, Pa., Times rightly says that it is hardly necessary to say that the thrift movement as it is now being taught has no relation to miserliness or to the mere hoarding of money. Those who save in the right spirit are the ones who always have money to go out and buy what they need. They are the ones who are welcomed by the merchants and the storekeepers, because they know what they want and have the money to pay for it. : TO THE RESCUE When the Y, M, C. A. in Somer- ville, Mass., burned down, American Legion men rescued 24 lodgers, clothed them and turned the Legion clubrooms into the temporary Y. M. jC. A. of the city.
