TIRED OF JOKES
DOLLFUSS EXPEDIENT PRISON FOR OFFENDERS LONDON, May 4 The Vienna correspondent of the News Chronicle states that the Chancellor, Dr. Dollfuss, is tiring of the innumerable jokes being made about him, and accordingly the Government has decided to award a prize for any newjokes discovered. The first prize is six months' imprisonment, the second three months, and the third one month. Consequently Dollfuss jokes are no longer shouted aloud in Vienna. They are disseminated in whispers.
