There's much black magic in it, and if you can suspend your power or disbelief for a couple of hours you'll find it pretty creepy and thrilling. If you're matter-of-fact person, of course, you'd better lay off.

Moscow Letter
BY FRED OECHSNER United Press Stan Correspondent

Berlin-In drawing-room and cafe teh greatest topic of discus sion for the German today Is Frs atz., those substitute products so reminiscent of war days which the German government is developing to compensate for the shortage or imported raw materials.
 By mannequin parade, wireless broadcasts and newspapers the German Is being officially persuad- ed that the genius of German chemists and scientists will pro- vide them with "Ersatz" products as satisfactory as the imported
 goods of other days.
 Not Alarmed
 I So far the pinch of shortage is not being felt, and the well-disci- plined Germans are not alarmed. They are deeply interested in the subject of "Erastz,' however, for it is being dinned into thief that it is their duty to use "ersatz." Nevertheless moarding of such articles as bicycle and automobile tires. cloth and leather is manifest. on an average the price of shoes already has increased by approxi- mately 30 per cent, and rumors of a replacement of real by artificial leather have caused buying rush. Many well-dressed men are wish ing that they could get a warm wool overcoat abroad before the winter sets in, but, even though they have plenty of money in the
 bank, they cannot get the neces-
 sary foreign exchange to buy abroad. Men are fiocking to their tailors to ask if there is still enough good English cloth available to
 make the ma new suit or coat, but in the majority of cases the tailors
 are dutifully impressing upon their
 clients the merits of "Ersatz" ma- terials inl winch much of the wool
 is replaced by scientific substi-
 tute made from wood.
 Fashion Parade
 A few days ago a fachion parade, attended by leaders of German so- ciety, was held in a leading Berlin hotel to demonstrate the latest ere. ations carried out in "Ersafz Woolen and silk materials. Beauti-
 full mannequins paraded in all kinds of garments made from ma terials in which there was much
 artificial wool or silk.
 Retailers, obeying official orders are pushing out how the materials are as elastic and pliant as the
 real wool materials, but maintain ing a discreet silence upon the subject of durability and resistance
 to the washtub. Shopkeepers quiet
 ly inform over1curious customers that they are strictly forbidden by
 the minister of propaganda to dis
 cuss such questions as the replen-
 ishing of stocks.

Selected Poem
RAILROAD STATION

(Israel Newman in The New York Sun)
 The waiting room-which, small or great, Is not a room where humans waltz Stone space and resonance and. with them, The city's deep. elusive rhythm. The train announcer's twang and whine, A sing -song no one can divine. The outer hall--dark air aloof Beneath the arched and grderod roof. The train that packs thick smoke and mists In space, as if with pounding fists. Your heart that Is all drive and ache. A wheel that yearns against It's brake Tall temple of somo nomad god: Wide stage For scenes gay. sad and odd. Whose memories do not contain A coming or a leaving train?

This happens to be Children's Book Week if you have time to consider that fact. in the midst of busy living. Dutton, book publishers state, that libraries and book shops are specializing in books on hobbies. The observance comes just at time when youngsters and "eldsters" are beginning to think about juvenile Christ mas literature, than which there is noth- ing more attractive. Picking out books for the youngsters is one of the most fas- cinating pursuits; so perhaps it is not amiss to begin during Children's BOOK Week.

NOVEMBER 16
 The day begins with a good influence between the Sun and the Moon. This inclines to agree ment between the general public and those in authority. Therefore, the early A. M. is a good time to deal with those in position of power over you. The afternoon is also slightly favorable.
 You should be interested in bargaining and a promise Is very important to you. There are two periods during the year when you should prosper and advance yourself. They nro from Feb. i7 through March 80. 1885 and Oct. 4 through Oct. 16, 1885. Bo careful to guard against accidents, fire or rash- ness from Sept. through Sept.
 Socially favorable today and tomorrow.
 Favorable for short trips and correspondence Dec. 1 and 9, fD3l.

Apropos of better movies we note that Selected Motion Pictures of November l, rates high the following, ''What Every Woman Knows" "Mrs Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch," Great Expectations" "Annie of Green Gables, Charlie Chan in London, "The Last Gentleman, Man of Aran'', among many others. There IS goodly representation borrowed from well known novels as witness Dickens Great Expectations" Alice Hogan Rice's Mrs Wiggs'; not to fail to mention J. M M' Barrie's famous play, What Every Wo- man Knows. It seems to be Dickens year in the motion picture industry with 'David Copperfeld" to soon make it's ap- pearance.

Foreign Trade Picks Up

Business in this country, as in others, is still long way from complete health. Nevertheless, international trade is reviv- ing, and to those who feel that we cannot have a sound domestic prosperity until our overseas trade picks up, the sign IS an encouraging one.
 Recent figures show that American ex- ports for the first nine months of 1884 amounted to $1,561, ,365, ,597 n approxi- mately S4O0,0O0,OO0 above the figures for the first nine months of 1888. In the same period our imports also rose, standing at $1,241, ,732,242 for 1884 as compared with $1O36, ,632 ,489 for 1883.
 Furthermore, our trade with Latin America is picking up. Exports to Cuba with which country a new tariff treaty was recently negotiated, were three times as great in September of this year as in the same month in 1888. Apparently a genuine revival is under way.
