TOY INDUSTRY IS
 WORSE SUFFERER
 FROM GREAT WAR
During Last Peace Year This Amounted to 35,000,00O in Germany-Now Less
 Than Tw0-Thirds
By Associated Press

Berne, Switzerland, September 15. Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Perhaps no single industry in Germany has suffered so much from the war as that of toy-making. In the last peace year Germany's toy trade aggregated 140, GOO 900 marks, or $35, 900 GOO, of which more than $25 600 900 was export, and the larger part to America. Since the war this figure has dropped nearly two-thirds. What is worse still for the German man. ufacturers, is the fact that other coun- tries have taken up this industry, and the Germans will find it very hard to recover their lost markets.
 More than any other branch of in- dustry the German toy trade sent its products throughout the world. Its first development was after the Franco-Prus- sian war, but it was not until 20 years ago that it's exports first assumed very large dimensions. Before the war not less than 100000 persons were employed in toy-making, mostly in Saxony around Nuremberg. It was largely a home in- dustry and furnished work for thousands of women and children.
 In 1913 the toy exports to the United States amounted to nearly $10,000O0, but since then, owing to the British blockade, the volume of trade has sunk to per- haps less than one-fourth of this sum. The neutral states, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway, have bought more toys but their increased trade has failed to make up the losses of the transat- lantic business. Austria-Hungary, too, has taken more toys and the home trade has been much better. But, in spite of all this, the total shrinkage in the au- nual turnover is estimated at between 60 and 70 per cent.
 The shortage of raw materials. too, has caused the toy manufacturers enor- nous inconvenience and the enormous rise in prices has injured their trade still more. The war has caused the loss of business connections abroad, which have existed for many years. Foreign cus- toners have been looking for new sources of supply. and foreign manufacturers have been encouraged to go out after

 That's been my daily schedule for years and that's why I went for a va- cation," said the Flutter Budget Lady. q couldn't stand 1t minute longer"
 Aye, that's the secret said the oth- CT. You've been trying to stand it, when you should have been making play of it; it isn't what We do that

A T the Hospital for Returned vaca- LA\ tioners,' old Dr. Wise rubbed his S S-s hands, for business was booming.
 Automobiles changed to the door and deposited the wounded, and sped ''gaso- linishly' again to the railway station to catch the next travellers.
 They-the vacationers-were coming back in troops, but oh how they were coming back-so overtaxed with quiet and rest that they could hardly stand it. hence-the hospital!
 Why vacate?" we ask when we see the returned vacationers."
 The answer is laughter loud and ath- letic.
 Because it's the custom.
 That's it.
 It has been decided long, long ago that we shall work all the year through, save up few extra dollars and spend two weeks or more in the society of discom- fort and indigestion at some summer re- sort hotel.
 With this knowledge deep in his mind, old Dr. Wise opened his perfectly good hospital.
 About this time along ''mozies' old Mrs. Know-It-All.
 She's on her way to visit the "F1utter Budget Lady
 Seeing old Dr. Wise, she says carelessly just like that:

 '.Theres a lot of ennuni running loose ground the world he replies rubbing his hands strenuously. A heap of overtaxed people too much rest and quiet-are re- turning home.'

but it's quite likely they won't; then you'll need no vacation.
 Pretty little thought, I'm sure," said the Flutter Budget Lady "In a short time I'd grow to be an intimate and ornamental part of the kitchen stove."
 T don't mean that peaople shouldn' t travel" said Mrs. Know-It-All. "It's the summer vacation habit I'm speak
 ing of especially. I gave 1t up long ago; my health wouldn't permit it. For six weeks before we go away on a sum- mer vacation we haunt the stores try ing to get clothes for ourselves and our children. We come home exhausted every night, worn and weary. We buy bodies of useless raiment; we run to the dry cleaners having all our last summers stuff freshened up; we divest our houses of all their worldly goods; we take down curtains and pull up rugs; we spend six weeks of rush dur ing the hot weather when we should have been resting"
 And then what happens?" she con tinued. You have exchanged your lovely, cool, comfortable house for a room (maybe two) in some summer re- sort, where the sun beats down on the roof until the freckles fall through on your face and arms and hands. You eat all kinds of food that you wouldn't touch at home; you lazy around and yawn your head off and can't sleep at night becase it isn't your own dear bed, and besides the noise of screech owls and things nearly destroy you. The more you rested on your summer trip the more tired you are; you longed for the click of the telephone bell and the vegetables man with nice fresh things that you like to eat would be a joy; you watched for the mail to be

distributed like a lion watching for his prey, and you mentally thanked God as you welcomed each day because it brought you that one day nearer home"
 ''If I ever look a can of corn in the face again I'm going to shoot it,'' said the Flutter Budget Lady vociferously.
 "If I ever hear of you contemplating a Know-It-All, I'm going to scalp you to the switch and I hope you lose it.
 T know, of course, though, why you went on this trip,'' said Mrs. Know-It- All, presently, in more sympathetic tone. Its common reason: You couldn't endure people asking you where you were going to spend the summer. You didn't have gumption enough to tell them: At home, and I'm glad of it. No; you had to let the neighbors see the trunks being carted out and the kids all dolled up and then you had to punish yourself by sitting in stifing trains and picking cin- ders out of your eyes and the kids Why I know man who went crazy because his wife made him take a summer vaca- ton trip
 "What?" asked the Flutter Budget Lady quickly.
 '1e was a baseball fam said Mrs. Know-It-All, land he went to some fear full, frightful, awful place, miles from railroad, and the papers always came two days late; he's wreck; that sum- mer all but killed him. Of course, men and women, too. must have vacations; I'm not deserving the idea; but they must pick and choose. The hurried, fur ried brain must have rest. We must have some work and some play; but if we are wise we'll turn our work into play, and not snap our brains out by useless oyerwork. The kind of work that

In short time, dozen railroads centering in Chi cago were involved, with a suspension of traffic in Illinois and adjoining states. Governor Altgeld of Illinois was in open sympathy with the strikers. When the mail service was interfered with, President Cleveland directed Secretary of War Lamont to send federal troops to Chicago in spite of Altgeld's protest. The soldiers were directed to fire on. anyone who inter- fered with the mails and in short or der the strike was broken.
