MONEY SPECTATORS CAUGHT
Austrians Almost in Panic When
Polish Mark Takes Big Drop.

Vienna, July banking and spec
ulative circles in this city are alarmed
over the continued fall of the Polish
mark and something approximating a
panic exists. 1t is estimated that many
billions of marks are held here, having
been bought at a price averaging four
times the present value of the mark.
Austrian bankers are reported TO
have drafted a number of plans for
the rehabilitation of Polish finance in
order that they may protect them
selves from gigantic losses, and even
the final collapse of that currency,
but all these plans have been rejected.
1t is said that 60 per cent of the
adult population of Vienna has been
specializing in Polish money, being in
spired by the great fortunes made
from the phenomenal rise of the Hun
garian crown The situation has been
aggravated by the refusal of Hungary
to cash counter felt overstamped notes
sent by Vienna banks for redemption
These notes are said to total about two
billion crowns. s.-..

A VARIED ROTARY PROGRAM
Roy L. Bone Furnished Much Comedy
for Meeting at C. of C.

The Topeka Rotary club varied its
program slightly today. The program
committee of which Roy L. Bone is
chairman, opened the, session with a
blackface comedy sketch which made
the Rotarians forget the temperature
took the leading part-that of a Cham
Der of Commerce waiter.
The show, opened when Charles L.
Mitchell rose at his seat and told the
world that he had it in for the walters.
and one particular waiter especially.
Mitchell effervesced till the colored
walters on duty gathered in the rear
of the room in a compact group, half
angry and half scared, and things be-
gan to look black for Mitchell
The atmosphere cleared when the
waiter" who was the culprit, was
brought in. by the Sergeant-at-A
W. P. Mclean. and arraigned Rob
ert Stone consented to present the
case against him. after protesting be-
cause no retaining fee was guaran-
teed. Stone made it plain that he was
doing it for the good of the club and
not for the personal benefit of
Mitchell.
A jury composed of ]. R. Koontz,
]. NJ. Connell and c. E. Bascom, all
railroad men, was empanelled, over
the protest of the waiter who asserted
his right to be tried by jury of his
peers.
Cross examination brought out some
salient points. The waiter said the
capital of Kansas is in Topeka, and
most of the capital of the United
States is in Europe He wasn't sure
who is the governor of the state
1T lies between Alexander Howat and
Fred Trigg." he said.
The waiter" WAS eventually dis
charged and Mitchell launched a
TRADE against the jury which went
unheard.
Then the more serious business of
the meeting commenced. Two boys
who have attended the camp for ''un-
der-privileged boys at Elmdale at
the expense of the Rotary club, ex-
pressed their appreciation and told the
Rotarians something of the camp life.
The Rotarians Immediately started
subscribing more money to send more
boys to the camp.
The secretary, Cecil HoWes, an
nounced that the next Rotary picnic
at the Boys Industrial school north of
Topeka, scheduled for July IA, has
been postponed to July 21.
DIR. Clark Nelson Mertz, dental spe-
cialist. was introduced by DIR. William
McCarter, another specialist, and gave
the Rotarians brief history of the
dental profession and some of the
things which they can do to beat him
out of business.
The attendance was unusually high

duced. In the songfest which pre-
coded the luncheon. w. w. Eden pre-
sented song speciality parody on
