round figure of 100000 kronen NORMALLY
100000 bid, none offered.
Looking at the same cubist picture
through American eyes. one also sees a to-
tally different side Of the mad scene. On Oc-
tober 6 the United States dollar was quoted
at 3033 Austrian crowns. That meant that
the krone was valued i'm our money at only
three one-hundredths of a cent. Conse-
quently the price OF the most expensive
stock ever quoted in Vienna was actually
only $50 and the largest gain recorded on
the stock Exchange for the two day period
was but three and half points In our way
of figuring. However. the price appreciation
averaged close TO 25 per cent. and should be
compared with jump Of, say, 20 points in
two days in Baldwin Locomotive, &c points
in Mexican Petroleum or 90 in Union Pacific
Our financial editors would probably call u
n busy day in the stock market IL general
rises in proportion to the above figures were
to take place here and IL thirty-one bids
went begging for offers. II is little wonder
that the Viennese man in the street has be-
gun TO think that he has been pushed off
into the gutter. To him the collapse of the
krone is as serious as II is comical TO US who

Now the logical place for these men, as

A comparison Of the prices on the Vienna
Stock Exchange for October 3 and 5 is of
interest. Here we find a shipping share up
5000 points In the two days lumber com
pany registering a gain of 1890 points and a
cordial dstil1ery's stock up 1000 points. OF
course, the last case cited can be appreciated

upon dropping out Of n clear sky, the Aus

the decentralization of Austrian currency
probably reached it's most serious crisis to
date. 1t was then that every man, woman

buyers strike. They simply stormed the
stores in an effort TO buy whatever they
could obtain for their krUnen. Prices were
marked up 100 per cent between sales, but
the tide of buyers would not be stemmed.

Great favorites with the youngsters are

a standard" explained Mr.. Sterling. Thus
we have been able to offer a good many men
already a steady job. and that is the great
desideratum. What is the use of setting
men to making lot of crazy stuff out of

this is and are as aware as anybody that
the fad which sets them thus TO work will
soon die out.

than any Of the kind purchasable in the
shops. We are selling them and all our
stock this year at wholesale prices, for two
reasons. The first is that we need to get
started, and the second is that we wish to
sell. Big sales will encourage the men more
than any amount of emotional talk

Real Money, Honestly Earned,
Means Everything TO the Me,

And to this plain, statement tho disabled
men have without exception responded
bravely. They don't want to be objects of
charity"
'You would appreciate what real money
earned by honest work means TO these men,"
said Warren Sterling who Is in charge at
the salesroom. "if you could see them get
ting the first dollar or two they have earned
since the war. A dollar thus earned Is
forecast of manly independence"
Mr. Sterling served with the Seventy
seventh Division, and he said that the nu-
cleus of this idea of which the homes and
honest labor OF the Dover Farms will be its
proud achievement appeared to him, to
BRADLEY Martin and to others interested
while they were in the midst of war. Some
OF the directors including Mr. Sterling, had
the opportunity of visiting England before
1918 and after 1914 and they could study
the plans already forming there for the re-
Mobilization of soldiers, wounded and rem
dered unfit for their former ways of earning
a living. into self-supporting individuals.
And this. said Mr.. Sterling, Is In the heart
of every worthwhile ex-service man.
How far reaching the plans are may be
gathered when IL Is proposed that the men

they show an inclination to assist in building
a home.
"The local shops have done WE'LL" said
Mr.. Sterling, "as one may see by looking
at the toys on sale. but there have been
difficulties of transportation of the men to
the shops from their homes to be overcome.
and where it was necessary to get home

and to the directors
Anybody will see the advantage of the
country over the city for men suffering from
physical disablement or even from shock
only. If there is any doubt to this ask
the men themselves. They know they will
get strong and well there much more rap
idly. And to be able by ones own labor to
at last possess a home is an alluring pros
pect. There is nothing illusory about this
prospect, for it is the firm purpose Of the
directors to carry it out"
The toys made by the disabled soldiers do
not represent even a moiety of the work
planned for them. but as Mr.. Sterling we'll
said it was necessary to make a beginning
somewhere, and taking advantage of the
season it was decided to develop line that
would sell.
Toys Best of Their Kind:
Some Are Most Unusual
Not that apology needs to be made
for the toys-they are the best of their
kind, and in certain particulars they are an
advance on anything of the sort ever made.
This is notably true in the building blocks.
With set of these blocks made by the
soldiers there is no constructive problem too
great for the little builders to undertake
There are circular blocks of all kinds and
sizes in the various lots and every variety
of architectural arch can be attempted and
carried out with success.
Then there are wagons of all kinds. auto
mobile trucks, railways, bridges, towers sta
tons, warehouses;, all with their attendant

tent for merchandise To look at these in
