They buried their last one with much pomp the other day, 5,000 of them turned out for the Interment of the 343-pound horse-trader who had lorded it over them as monarch and master. The Austrian government is hoping thut the next one they will get will pack them all up, bag and baggage, and lead them out of the country, if he doesn't, Austria may decide to go to the League of Nations as she has been threatening to do in the past, and ask that an island be found somewhere in some faraway ocean to which they may be shipped, writes Edwin C. Hill. Outside of grand opera librettos, a Gypsy's life' is not altogether a happy one. At the same time, the life of no community infested with Gypsies Is a happy one. For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain, a Gypsy can give cards and spades to llret Harte's "Heathen Chinee." In a New York police court a little while back I ran across a case in which two gaily dressed Gypsy women were the defendants. A superstitious workingman had gone to them to have his fortune told, and was advised that he was a very sick person. The only cure for him was to produce all his money in for which the Gypsies would give Tilm a charm. ' It happened that he had $7,000 in savings, and he decided that since the Gypsies did not know this, he could cheat them a little. He handed over $o.000 and in return got a small cloth bag which he was to wear but never open. Within a few days his curiosity got the better of him and he opened It, to find it filled with scraps of paper. "How did you happen to catch the Gypsies so quickly?" i asked a police officer.? ? - ?i Oh, we Just picked them up on the West Side, where they were telling fortunes," he answered. put that $5,000," I persisted, "is more money than a whole tribe of Gypies would see in a lifetime. Why didn t they get out of town in a hurry, or at least run to cover?" " \ ou don't know Gypsies," he replied. and after a pause, he added: "Neither do. I." The whole truth of it is that the Gypsy has been a puzzle and a problem from the very day early in'"'the 15th century that he came trooping into Europe. 'I he good burghers found him and his tribe to be a "horde of uncouth and dirty thieves," and they just came out of nowhere. The Gypsies themselves were long on romance and alert on historical facts Thej' claimed to be Egyptians, and soon the chronicles were describing them as the I^ost Tribe of Israel, or descendants of Cain. Even today there is no definite proof who they were or where they originated, although it is pretty well established that they began In India and were probably a lowcaste Hindu people. About the year 800 A. D. they were known in Constantinople as the "touch-me nots," because they considered other people as unclean. This is another evidence of Hindu origin. Most scholars believe they were driven from northwest India, and that they were in Persia for a long time. It is on record that they introduced playing cards into Europe, bringing them with them from Persia. This race of wandering tribes Just refuses to be absorbed or to be made to stay put in any one place. In the United States, in England, In Austria, or In any other highly civilized country, the Gypsies maintain their racial marks and their peculiar language. He has no religlpus. beliefs, although he will adapt himself to those of the country In which he stays for any length of time. He Is m-- fatalist, a horse-trader, a tinsmith, a musician, and usually a fogue, although not fto quently a vicious one. rT"~ - y ' 71 a * . * COMMENT8 ON MEN AND THING& (My Spectator) A bill is under consideration In congress which, If enacted, will just about put all our business in the hands of the Federal government, if you favor letting Uncle Mam superNine and control every little mill or enterprise?which employs fifteen or more persons?then the matter of federal control has no terrors for you.

Hut that potential wealth doesn't butter any parsnips, as they used to say. To he modern, potential mutton corn, roast'n ears and sugar corn can only be enjoyed in the pictures you- can't eat it; and looking at it wouldn't stretch your belt. What I we crave ut this season is actual corn ?roast'n ours, mutton corn and sweet i corn. Now that actual corn is whalj does the trick. Ho with our grand little state; we must lake the potential wealth of the earth and convert it to actual wealth. Kvery barrel of flour is 196 pounds of potential biscuits but what we "holler" for of a morn-1 lug is actual biscuits with ham gravy. Mark you, none of this potential stud. So our state Is rich potentially, but i we must transform that Into actuality. South Carolina! Well, is this a good place in which to live and do business? That's the question. The population of South Carolina Is about two million one hundred thousand today. In 1929 the total wealth of our people was two billion, seven hundred sixty tlire mlllieon dollars ($2,763,000,000), or $1,693 for each man, woman and child. Of course a lot of water has passed over the mill since 1929. My guess is that our Veulth today is considerably lesa than two billion dolluru; and. of course, 6ur individual wealth isn't more titan $760 today. Soijth Carolina has two hundred miles of sea coast, with inlets, bays, etc, as well as line beaches. Our state contains 19.610,800 acres. We have some good harbors. Charleston. of course, is well known and exported in 1936 a total of $15,768,3<>2. Kvery body, has heard of Georgetown and Iloaufort but most of our people don't know that Port Royal Is one of the finest harbors in the world. In 1935 the value of ull crops and livestock was $124,711,000. In 1935 this state produced 745,000 bales of cotton, worth $41,906,000 and sold the seed for $10,261,000. The value of all our manufactured products for 1936 11 ' u 1 1 .1 is about $265,OOO.eUO.
