line Leipigestrasse, presented bar gain day appearance. People liter ally fought at the counters to buy.
 They obtained scant bargains Overnight, behind closed shutters. shop clerks had toiled until morn. ing hours marking up price tags to meet the new boost. Here, and throughout all Germany, prices had skyrock between sunset and sun rise.
 Grumbling at the new rates, bu; knowing they would be higher. stili on the morrow, Berlin bought. Wom- en left their homes at daybreak. carrying bundles that looked like the weeks wash, but which were in real ity heaps of marks.
 In smaller stores the rush was so great that crowds waited outside in the streets for turns. Buying and selling became a gamble instead of a business.
 Some Shopkeepers Sell Eagerly.
 Shopkeepers who believed that peace would be made with Franco and that the money would rise, sold eagerly The doubting majority sold regretfully, often limiting the amount of articles customers could buy. Bears" who felt that the mark was flounderine into chaos and dragging Germany with it, shut their stores, refusing to sell.
 Small change was out of the ques- ton. A customer who bought an S0,- 000-mark article and could pay with a 100, 000-mark bill, passed up his 20,- GOO marks change.
 Behind the scenes in the huge shops toiled an army of accountants battling with the problem of whether lost on the sales. Mark quotations were flashed momentarily from the exchanges, Goods marked up 25 per cent overnight were selling at a loss when the mark touched 750000 at noon.
 Hundreds Are Busy.
 Another strange behind scenes pie ture in banks, hotels, shops and all places where money transactions were going on, was the picture of hun dreds of young girls. hired by every establishment, to count and bale the money as it came in. Frauleins be- ing paid a few dollars week sat at desks on which bundles of millions were heaped, paving their way through the currency, some of it so new that the ink was hardly dry, some of it so old and soiled that it crumpled to pieces in their hands.
 All employees leaving shops at the end of the day were subjected to control" or examination to see whether they had stolen any of the huge figured notes that fluttered to the floors about them, banking there as dead leaves bank in an autumn gutter. It was an almost useless precaution. To have stolen any con- siderable amount, suit case would have been necessary.
 American visitors, unable to change even a S10 note at banks due to the general shortage of real money, take part of their payment in millions of marks and the balance in certified checks. These now pass as currency, as nothing better can be had.

civilization now faces democracy, in sistent, imperative. There is no escap- ing it unless everything we have built up is presently to fall in ruin about us: and the United States, as the greatest of democracies, must undertake it.
 "The road that leads away from revolution is clearly marked, for it is efined by the nature of men and Of Organized society. It therefore be- hooves us to stul ly very carefully and candidly the exact nature of the task, and the means of it's accomplish ments. The sum of the whole matter Is this, that our civilization cannot survive materially unless it be re- deemed spiritually.

The nitrates of Chile are the larg-
est known to exist, and are one of
the greatest sources of that coun-
try's prosperity. Their exhaustion
would mean disaster to Chile and
a great loss to the world. But it
has been suggested that Africa
might compete with Chile, if not
take the place of that country, in
this industry. Experts are said to
be convinced that nitrate deposits
even more extensive than those of
South America exist all over the
western part of the Sahara. 1t
would cost more to get the product
to the coast than it costs in Chile,
but it is averred that this extra ex-
pense Of transportation would only
counterbalance the high export duty
imposed on Chilean nitrates. Ex-

TURKEY BASIS or FEAsTlNG
Simple Reason Why the Bird Has Al
ways Been Associated With
Festivities, In America.

Feasts and turkey seem to be
firmly associated. The "why" Of
this goes back to the pioneer days Of
American history. When crops
failed the Pilgrim Fathers were
forced to fall back on what their
snares or fowling pieces could bring.
AS wild turkeys were not uncom-
mon, that dish became associated
with festivity
In an old work called "The New
England Canaan" one reads that
"Turkies there are, which divers
times in great focks have sailed by
our doors; and then gun (being
commonly in readiness) salutes
them with such a courtesie as
makes them take a turne in the
cooke room Of these there
hath been killed that have weighed
4s pounds apiece"
Evidently the old Puritan fani-
lies liked to celebrate heavens bless
ings with feast, and the turkey
was elected to the post Of honor be-
cause he happened to be pleasing to
the Pilgrims palate and handy to
the Pilgrims gun.

PLANES swIFTER THAN BIRDS
Both in Maximum and Sustained
Speed, Machines Are Declared TO
Be Far Superior

Colonel Meinertzhagen states that
during his anti-aircraft duties IN
the course of the war he trained his
men in instrumental work by max
ing them take observation OF the
flight of birds. These he collected
and then confirmed their results by
instrumental work himself. The
speed of birds, as thus accurately as
certained, is far below what it is
popularity believed to be, varying
from 20 to 40 miles for the smaller
passers to from 40 to 80 miles an
hour in the case of waders.
Those speeds represent steady
flight; but when bird is fright
ened by an enemy, or when it is
psuncing upon its prey, it can ac-
celerate greatly for limited time.
He estimates that for short dis
lance the swift can reach speed OF
100 miles an hour.
The airplane, therefore, has great
ly surpassed the swiftness of the
birds, both in its power of sustained
speed and in its maximum speed.
From 100 to 1870 miles an hour can
be maintained by many Of the
standard machines, and racing ma
chimes do much more than this.

LlTHooRApHy FOR THE ARTIST

Artistic lithography, or, better
said, TYPOGRAPHY for the artist, has
begun to have a living present in
this country. Ten years ago one
was almost limited to the considera-
ton of past performances. Then the
use of the process by American ar
fists was sporadic and rare. Lith-
ography played the role Of step
child beside etching. 1t emitted but
feeble peep in the chorus of our
art. Today, to continue the use Of
the metaphor, it is heard in voice
rich, varied, sometimes loud, and
fairly yoluminous.
