'ERUGAL BEtGIAhS ARE
HELPING THEMSELVES
Design Toys for Worlds Children and
Make New Clothes Out OF Old.

The opinion that Belgium may be-
come the rival of the enemy country
in the art of toy-making is expressed
in communication from Miss Welthy
b. Honsinger of the National War
Work Council Staff of the Young
H. T. Crockford. of Richmond. acting
chairman Of the South Atlantic Field
Committee of the Y. w. c. A.
Miss Honsinger who has just re-
turned from Europe explains that toy
making is a new industry introduced
to offset in as far rs possible the in
dustrial paralysis affecting the coun-
try. Unemployment is rife in Bel
GUM, she explains, and presents one
of the most serious problems of the
past war condition of the war-worn
country. According to the writer the
best Belgium artists have been devot-
ing their time in making designs for
toys. These designs are carried out
by vast numbers of people and the
industry promises to be permanent
one.
Manufacturing esta blishments, Miss
Honsinger says, are not yet able to re-
sumo operation as there is no machin-
cry to take the place Of that which
was demolished by the Germans dur
ing their long occupation of Belgium
and because of the lack of raw ma
terials. Until both can be procured
unem ployment will continue to face
thousands of Belgians.
The fact that the donations of
clothes from America furnished en-
ployment for more than eight thou
sand is another interesting statement
of Miss Honsinger's letter. In refer
ence TO this she says:
Mrs. Phillipson, wife of a proni-
nent Brussels banker took charge of
these clothes when they arrived,
opened work shops and employed
women TO make over clothes. There
are seventeen such shops in Belgium,
each employing as many as 500 WON
en-, mostly old women who have lost

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, Oct. 1S-Bullish sentiment
regarding corn became more wide
spread today and carried prices up
grade. The close was strong, 1c to
PIC higher, with December s1.261s
to $1.269s and May s1.24% to $1.24 q .
Oats gained Y to IS to 7sc. In
provisions the finish ranged from 60c
decline to 45c advance.
increasing reports from the inter-
Tor that farmers were inclined to hold
hack corn for more money had much
to do with the strength of the corn
market. 1t was current gossip that
failure of other commodities to fol-
low grain down to lower levels had
especially impressed growers, and
had led to general belief that corn
was selling too cheaply. Forecasts
of unsettled weather tended also to
encourage buyers. On the other hand,
non resumption of work on the part
of longshoremen failed to act as an
offset and so too did weakness of
foreign exchange Absence of ag-
gressive selling was a feature through
out the day, although there was con
siderable profit taking toward the
close.
Oats paralleled the action of corn
Rural offerings were light, but re-
ceipts here for the week totaled 500.-
600 bushels IN excess of the ship
ments out Provisions were bullish-
~ affected by the advance of grain
Later however, lard underwent a
reaction because of realizing sales.
