Quality CounU Opposite The Post Office NELSON AMERICANS OVER IN VIENNA LOSE AS DOLLAR DROPS VIENNA W) The falling dollar has hit Americans In Austria! right In the middle of their budgets. Travelers from the United States who arrived early in July cut short their stay because of the dwindling purchasing power of their national currency. Americans maintaining households here. Including those In the diplo mats and consular services, took deep breaths and began figuring out a new approach to the problem of 'living cheaply abroad." Those who had been paying 100 a month rent In Austria schillings found their housing cost (boosted to $140. with no chance of getting out of tlie leases on that score. Coffee now costs about $1.40 a pound and tea. of good average tradd $4. But those beverages are listed as luxuries by the Austrian government. and other articles are not so costly, For example: Beefsteak, 65 cents; pork, 40 conte; veal, 54 cents; mutton, 60 cents; ham, 70, cents; sugar, 11 cents. Fruit is sold by the pound, apples costing 22 cents and bananas 31. Bread is 10 cents a loaf . milk a dime a quart, eggs 30 to 40 cents a dozen and butter 40 cents a pound. One result Is that eggs poached In milk and served on toast has become a popular dish with American house wives. Look Ahead With Hollywood to See Future of World Ity Kobbln Conns HOLLYWOOD The screen's in creasing tendency to assume the role of social prognosticator Is evidenced in plans for a film dealing with "an American Scotland Yard." Hartiay had the admlnistrotlon made known Its plans for warfare with crime than Courtenay Terrett wrote a screen story dealing with the police situation as it might be in the next six months, universal will make the film, with Edmund Lowe a probable star in the role of secret agent. It's getting to be a habit with Hol lywood, this telling the world what's going to happen in dramatic form before it happens. '"Song of the Eagle"' with its release time exactly with the legalization of beer, dealt with potentialities on that theme. And they're even trying to tell us about the world half a century hence, in a picture called "Fifty Years from Now!" Whenever the" weather gets a bit "unusual" in these parts meaning hot, cold, or cloudy it seems that studios decide at once to film scenes that kind-hearted! managers would take some other time. It's been warm in .Hollywood, and that brought on a small epidemic of wintry scenes. Sally Eilers trying on rich coats on a hot sound stage, while Ralph Morgan, ' bundled in heavy lur. looks on, trying to appear cold with perspiration streaming down his make-up, gives an ironic touch. Nobody envies movie actors on days like these. Snow blindness in August, too sent five laborers to cover behind dark glasses, where John Boles and Margaret Sullavan were already hid ing. Tho snow, covering a garden set for "Only Yesterday," was riot the usual bleached corn flakes, but a marble dust mixture. Its glare, dev astating In sunlight, is supposed to give a more realistic glint for night snow scenes. " Come crisp autumn days, however, and they'll be asking heroes and hero ines to splash about in tanks, lakes, and surf. Why? It Just happens that way. They don't acknowledge seasons In Hollywood. Blackmail Is Poison Defense Mnrk H. Shank, Akron lawyer, said demands for money on threat of exposing Information In connection with a lawsuit caused him to poison Alvln Col ley and his wife and two sons, whoso bodies were found In an automobile near Malvern, Ark.
