Wholesale Prices Show New Increase Washington (U.R) Average wholesale prices climbed four tenths of one per cent in the week ended July 15 with food costs leading the way, the Bu reau of Labor Statistics has reported. The bureau said the rise was due to "large price increases" on meats, eggs, apples, potatoes and livestock. The increase boosted the wholesale price index to 111.1 per cent of 1947-49 prices. This index was 3.4 per cent below the average for January, 1951. Other increases were report ed over the period for prices of cotton yards, wool tops and an imal feeds. Don't bargain with your HEARING- A hearing aid chosen for low price proves expensive if guesswork-fitting and unsat isfactory results force you to buy a better one later on.

Oty- (Editor's note: This is an other in a series of articles written for The Mail Tribune by Mrs. I. E. Schuler, who is currently spending several months in Austria.) I business men, carrying brief I better restaurants it is about 40 cases, or men out with their girls. And I wonder if the Madchen (who never wear either slacks or shorts on the streets) size up the male physique as men do sirls in our country. I even find By MRS. I. E. SCHULER myself thinking that this one Vienna, Austria I have been to i would look better in trousers, or two large parties one my friends the Ekerns gave. This was particularly interesting to me, because Halvern Ekern's Russian counterpart, a Mr. Radin. was there, and I met and talked to him. We talked about books, War and Peace in partic lar. Everyone was much sur prised that he came. He certain ly seemed to be having a good time too. Also 'James Farrell, the American author, was there, and Mr. Radin was interested enough to ask to go on a lecture Mr. Farrell was giving the next evening. I have not read his new book The Name Is Fogarty but I was glad to let him know I had read the others of the tri ology. I am doing voluntary work in one of the Crippled Children's hospitals and I went to a pro gram which the children gave. Every child performed the ones with crippled hands played the piano, or the accordion; those with speech defects sang, or did some little skit, and used their voices. Many fairly crawled up onto the stage, and some others were Jifted up, and were steered around. It was an inspiring spec tacle, to see them they were more happy and unself-conscious than any other children I have ever seen. The hospital is very poorly equipped, their beds look as though they would fall down any time, and there is no pool for those with infantile paraly sis everything is done the hard way with infinite patience and kindness. The women of the Em bassy work with them, helping in as many ways as possible giving vitamins, simple medi cines, tooth paste, wash cloths, and trying to raise funds for new beds. j Differences Noted These are some of the little material differences which amuse and interest me as I ride along the trams, or walk about tne city. Men in lederhosen: I can't seem to become accustomed to seeing ' the short (many times dirty) leather pants, and long socks on 1 that one's tummy is too large etc., etc. Marketing: Women buy every thing they eat every day a kilo of this, a quarter of a pound of that, a quarter of something in vegetables. It is disconcerting to me. I never know how much I am asking for. Food is high. I think the average family lives monthly on bread-stuffs and po tatoes and have but one meal with meat a week and that on Sunday. The markets are scrub by, indeed, in comparison with ours. Only cherries and straw berries compare in any way with ours. The strawberries are huge three times the size of ours, and quite delicious. There are no milkmen. One goes to the milk house, and If the day is young, one may get milk. Milk is for children, but I doubt if the little five year old boy where I live has milk more than once or twice a week, and he is perhaps typical. One does not see here the thousands of bicycles, as in Holland and Switzerland. Peo ple walk, or ride the street car. A ride all over Vienna costs five cents. The schilling is worth not quite four cents here. I still have to figure quickly when I see $2.50 for a cup of coffee, and be fore ordering it, know it means ten cents. A pot of tea is the most expensive thing you can buy why I can't figure. In the cents a pot in our money. Cats and dogs: I have, yet to sec a cat here, but der Hund is everywhere beautiful dogs, and all niuzzled when on the streets. Sanitation is not considered seri ously over here, I believe. I am continually shocked at the indif ference to health conditions. In the parks, and they are numer ous and beautiful, dogs or chil dren are not allowed on the lawns. And, believe me, you never see one off the gravel driveways. I was meandering across a boulevard one day, to take a tram, when all of a sudden I heard three angry voices yell at me. I was so scared I jumped about a foot, said all the German words I could think of in a hurry, "Auf Wiedersehen, Bitte, Danke, verstehen Sie nicht," but to no avail. Not a frown abated, so with head bowed in humilia tion, I flew off in the opposite directions from what I had in tended, and went several blocks out of my way to avoid passing them again. It was against the rule, appar ently. They take great pride in their parks. You pay 30 grosch en abut a cent and a half for a chair. This is collected by lit tle old ladies, who come around with leather pouches to collect, and give you a ticket. WEATHER By United Press North California: Fair through Sunday except fog or low over cast along coast; little change in temperature; west to northwest wind 10-20 mph off coast except 25 mph north of Cape Mendocino.
