THE AUSTRIAN RECEIVERSHIP
Bankrupt Austria is going into the hands of a receiver.
It will be the first time that has happened to any great nation.
The receiver will be the League of Nations, acting throug..
its Finance Committee. If the plan of this committee is ap
proved by the Austrian government and the League, as it is
expected to be, Austria will be placed practically in charge of
three trustees acting for the League. They are M. R- Gluck
stadt, the foremost banker of Denmark ; M. J. Avcnol, a French
financier, and Sir Drummond Fraser, an Englishman. These
three men have been investigating conditions in Austria and
forming their plan of procedure.
It is recognized that the plight of Austria, if left to her
self, is hopeless, burdened as she is with great war debts and
deprived of the most productive parts of her territory. To bo
gin with, there will probably bo a largo foreign loan, guaran
teed by all the public and private property in the country. ' The
trustees will have authority to approve or disapprove of all na
tional loans, foreign or domestic, and will have control of the
Austrian assets furnished as security for loans, ana w;i! con
trol the expenditure of loans and credits.
This will be a remarkable degree of authority for any na
tion to surrender. Austria is expected to do it, however, be
cause there is no other way to save the country from utter ruin.
The undertaking represents an appropriate function of the
League of Nations, and if flic League Biicceeds in the task it
will win prestige accordingly.
Incidentally the situation is a striking commentary on Die
part played by Austria in the World War. The proud capital,
head of a great, historic empire, which precipitated the war so
blithely in 1914, has met with such prompt and full retribu
tion as has seldom fallen to any nation in history.
Yes, things are falling. Cars going down. Deflation in tires.

THE MAN WITH THE HOSE
When an expert comes out with a
code of rules for watering the lawn,
efficiency indeed has been raised to
the nth power. And here Is the code,
is set forth by Dr. Albert. Taylor,
professor of landscape architecture at
Ohio University, In his - book, "Tho
Complete Garden";
"A properly prepared lawn will not
require much watering unlvss the sea
son is unusually dry or near-by trcu

''In any event, a few thorough

rure a thorough so-iking.
"Do not hasten to sprinkle a lawn
at tho first approach of wnrm weath
er, as this will discourage the ten
dency of the grass roots to go deep
er, in search, of ground water.
"If tho lawn shows signs later in
the season of being in distress, give it
a thorough soaking.
"An effective watering should ik
the ground .to a depth of five or six
inches."

From now on he will wail until sum-
nights he will not even get the hose
out, but will sit at his ease and grin at
his toiling neighbors who have not
learned his lore. And in the hot,
brown days of August, his lawn will
look tho best, bo groat is efficiency.
CHILDREN AND BOOZE
A Humane Society in one of the
larger cities has just issued a report
telling of the 4,550 children dealt with
by it in the year l'.l'JO. These children
were from 1.8.VI homes. It gives ten
principal causes for bringing these

To the Kditnr of the Tribune.
Kir: Kor the information of "Syr
acuse (lirl," who inquires in this
morning-'s Tribune why Now York
pirls don't keep the seams of their
stockings straight, here's the answer.
So far as New York pirls are concern-;
ed. the corset, with its appended cur-
tors, has pone where the woodbine I
twineth, alonj; with tho bustle, starch- j
ed petticoats jtnd fleece-lined under-
wear. Lacking these former corset- j
attached parter supports, the girls ,
havo discovered that a stocking will j
stay up if properly rolled down from !
tho top. It isn't easy to explain the I
process without a diagram, but the
secret of rolling it is in first giving,
it a proper twist around. This brings j
the hack seam of the stocking around
to the front.
