Vienna. Smuggling of food and

n dally Increasing scandal In this hun
gry city.
As the crown approaches the disap
pearing point In value, tho operations
of these Illicit "left-hand" traders
become bolder und more extensive. It
Is an old story now that anything can
bo bought for a price In Vienna. Tho
only now phase Is that tho prlco goes
up dally.
While tho city finds It difficult to sup
ply the bread ration of a loaf of coarse
black stuff, tho components of which
It would take a chemical analysis to
determine, n nearly double tho price
of early autumn, white dour can be
bought "by tho left hand" at about
100 crowns tho kilo (2.20 pounds).
(Sugar Almost Prohibitive.
American and Argentine tinned
corned beef can tie hnd, hut delivered
to one's room It costs about 80 or
00 crowns tho pound. White loaf
sugar from Czecho-Slovnkln Is avail
ablo at a prlco that means about one

Still Use
for Offenders
Delaware Only State in Union
Where Whipping Is
Permitted.
CLAIM IT GETS RESULTS
Law Designates the Number of Strokes
for the Various Felonies No Dis
tinction Made Between Petty
and Grand Larceny.
Wilmington, Del. Tho whipping
post has been abolished In Delaware,
but whipping still remains.
Instead of strapping offenders to
a post, they aro forced to stand
against a wall, with their hands out
stretched on either side.
Delaware Is tho only state In which
this form of punishment still Is per
mitted. In other states It was abol
ished long ago.
In Delaware even the pillory was
ubondoned only recently.
What Law Provides.
Here are the various felonies pun
ishable by whipping, and tho number
of strokes that the law provides for
each :
Horse-stealing Twenty lashes.
Larceny not more than twenty
lushes.
Arson In Second Degree Not more
than twenty lashes.
Burning a Court-houso Where Of
ficial Records Are Kept Sixty lashes.
llouse-bronking Twenty lashes.
Highway Hobbery Twenty lashes.
Wlfo-heatlng Not more than thirty
lashes.
Attempt to Havlsh Thirty lashes,
in addition to the whipping, the of
originated, manufactured ami placed
upon tho ninrket the board under tho
copyright namo of the oracle nnd
that later WUllnm Fuld started the
manufacture of tho ouljn board.
William Fuld asserts that he and
Isaac Fuld were In business together
years ago, and that the ouija board
Is the original talking board, and
claims that the oracle talking board
manufactured by Isaac Fuld Is a
copy of tho one placed on tho market
by lilin.
The Fulds about 28 years ago were
In charge of a wooden toy factory
known ns the Keunnrd Manufacturing
company nnd tho ouija board was one
of the devices they made to entertain
tho young. It quickly won tremen
dous popularity and so overshadowed
the business of the concern that tho
plant was largely devoted to tho mak
ing of tho ouija board.
Kot" Is the leading port of Japan,
(the Swiss franc rate governs local
quotations).
When the passenger train service
throughout the country wns suspended
for ten days the bills of fare In the
restaurants and hotels furnished evi
dence of the extent of tho smuggling
business. Not only did most meats dis
appear, as well as green salads, hut the
prices went up correspondingly. Motor
cars are scarce and gasoline Is gov
ernment controlled, so even the ac
complished and resourceful smuggler
finds himself at a loss.
In the queues that formed In front
of ticket ofllces when train service re
sumed It Is said that by far the larg
est proportion of applicants were
smugglers anxious to rench the prov
inces and ohtnin the top prices for
fresh food supplies. How they cvndo
the food control permits at provincial
borders Is not explained.

Islands lying off southern Alaska nro
being used for fox fnrms. Twcnty-nlno

every spring.
Lash
fenses are also punishable by Impris
onment. The most of tho stntutes merely
provide pennltles for the various of
fenses with no, provision that they
shall not bo Indicted upon women,
public opinion In Delaware will no
longer permit the lnshlng of women.
A majority of the offenders to bo
punished In thnt manner ur6 negroes,
but white men suffer It as well. Tho
whippings usually take place at tho
end of ench court term or, If the
tonus last more than one week, tho
whippings occur nt the end of each
week. They are administered by tho
warden of the Jail.
A curious feature of the law of
Delaware Is that it makes no distinc
tion between grand nnd petty larceny ;
the theft of a loaf of bread by a hun
gry man Is technically as serious a
crlmo as the stealing of $5,000 by a
hardened criminal.
There Is nothing In the law to pre
vent a Judge from sentencing the for
mer to be lashed on the hare back
with a cat-o'-nlne-tnlls, made of leath
er thongs.
See Nothing Brutal.
"I do not see anything hrutnl about
our form of punishment," former
Judge J. Frank Kail, counsel for and
a member of the County Workhouse
commission, said to me. "The men
are not bentcn severely, for the strokes
do not draw blood. No man who came
to see one of tho whippings, and who
was unprejudiced could Hnd anything
to object to In them.
"I do not know of any movement
to abolish whipping, and I do not
know nny citizens who would favor
such n thing. We feel thnt we know
what we ate doing, and we don't want
outsiders to dictate to us."

Proud Congressmen Boast of Record Corn Yields
PROCEEDINGS that went in brief about like this produced much laughter
and npplnuse In the housa the other day: Rubey of Missouri began It
oy snylng: "Mr. Spenker, I ask unanimous consent to speak for about throe
minutes. I want to boost Missouri n ...
little. I have In my hand a letter
from the editor of n farm paper stat
ing that a prize of $1,000 for the best
five acres of corn In tho United States
has been awarded to J. R. Shelton of
Holdcn, Johnson county, Mo., the nv
jrage yield being 127 bushels an

Mr. Wood of Indiana. The same
Qrst prize that you are talking about
went to Washington. (Laughter.)
Mr. Bnnkhend. Mr. Speaker, I
want to sny to the gentleman from Missouri, who Is manifesting so much
state pride, that Alabama has tho record of 237 bushels. (Laughter.)
Mr. Kitchln. I want to say If they continue to encourage these farmers
In Missouri nnd In Alnbnma they may possibly get up to the record, eventually,
of North Carolina, which holds a record of 250 bushels per acre, tho largest
In the history of the country. (Laughter.)
Mr. Mann of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, It was reported to me tho other day
that a former member of this house, Joseph C. Sibley, had raised on 12 acres
of ground 331 bushels of corn to the acre.
Mr. Iladley. In the prize contest the first three prizes on wheat went to
tho stnte of Washington. Fred De Wilde, Oak Harbor, Wash., 83.00 bushels
per ncre; John Le Sourd, Coupeville, Wash., 81.33 bushels; Justus L. Hancock,
Coupevllle, Wash., 81.24 bushels.
Mr. Rubey. From what has been said by my colleagues, It looks like the
mistake I made wns In reporting my yield first. (Laughter.)
Mr. Hersey. Mr. Speaker, there were three- prizes offered last year for
the largest yield of an aero of potatoes and Aroostook county, In my dis

some time ago described tho work of
tho commission ns "a scientific raid upon tho treasury." Many hold this view
and as a result strong opposition to the proposed legislation is expected, par
ticularly in view of tho present condition of the nation's finances.
"Equal pay for equal work," will bo tho rulo If congress adopts the pro
posals of the commission, whose report Is to form the basis of consideration
nf a readjustment of salaries to meet the Increased cost of living, a condition
which hn,s been denlt with crudely In the last two years by voting a bonus of
$240 n year to each civil employee.
One questionnaire was returned with tho notntlon: "This man has been
on the pay roll thirty yours, but Is an Invalid und has not been at his desk for
tho last ten years."
In one bureau stenographers were receiving 1,800 a year, while In an
other htirenu, which hnd been unnblo to Impress congress with Its necessities,
stenographers doing Identical work were receiving $000.

Whaddymean by Saying "Maple Sugar" These Days?
THE sugar shortage nnd the approach of "sugar weather" led department
of agriculture experts to mnko the statement that many thousands of
American farmers throughout a region comprising more thon n score of
states In the eastern and northeastern
oart of the United States, art over
looking opportunities to got maplo su
?ar and sirup for homo use, as well ns
for sale, at very little cost.
While Americans commonly think
of the maple sugar Industry as con
tlned larRoly to circumscribed areas
In New England and New York, thero
are. as a matter of fact, many po
tential "sugar bushes" In the region
extmding as far south as- North Carolina and Tennesseo nnd westwnrd to
northern Missouri. Iowa and Mlnnesotu, as well as in Oregon and Washington.
In u good season a tree 15 inches In diameter will yield sullklent sun to
mnko from one to six qutirts of sirup, which In turn cun bo concentrated Into I
two to ten pounds of wugnr.
Discovery was mado by government Investigators of many groves of sugar !
maples In North Carolina, one of which Is probably larger than any now to
be found In New England. Tho owners, being unnwaro of the value of tho
trees from the maple sugar standpoint, had begun cutting there for lumber at
an average return of less than $1 a tree.
Lnwt season, upon suggestion of government experts, these groves were
tapped and yleldud sirup that sold for $-1 a gallon. Revelation of the potential
value of the groves Induced the owuers to plan more extensive operations for
this spring.
In enrnest. Ilenrlngs have begun nnd
the commissioners have decided to vis
