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.
