WASHINGTON. July 31.-Works
of art are a pretty expensive prop
osition. even when they're painted
by artists on the relief roll.
The government had proof of
that today wnen it completed wind
ing up the public works of art
project. The figures showed that
those realistic scenes of city streets
and country landscapes which
adorn the walls of public buildings
all over the country cost the gov
e1nment exactly 1851 apiece.
And at that the figure only in
cludes the money paid out in wages to
the artists. If all the expenses to
the government were figured in the
cost T. each work of art probably
would average at about $l00.
The 3,749 artists who were aided
by the project turned out about
four and one-sixth works OF art
apiece.
Works Progress Administrator
Harry L. Hopkins thinks the en-
deavor was mighty worthwhile.
Who knows, it has been pointed
out. what great geniuses may have
been included in the roll of relief
artists and what great value some
day may be plleed on their works
which the government acquired at
a pittance.
Hopkins was so pleased with the
work of the relief artists that he
is planning to incorporate another
program of the same type i'll the
works relief drive.
Distribution of the works of art
acquired by the government has
now been completed. They hang in
public buildings in every state. Lots
of them are in poStoffices Some
are in the White House. Hardly a

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, october 5.-Investors
and traders trundled the so-called
war babies" uphill today in the most
active Saturday stock market session
In about a month.
While demand was most pronounced
for the copper shares and others
which Wall Street thinks will proflt
from the recent outbreak OF hoStihties,
brokers noted that a tidy amount OF
buving came into equities not gen.
orally associated with purchases OF
war materials.
The buying of stocks other than
the war babies" was attributed In
financial circles to three factors: The
continued favorable tone of domestic
business, idle domestic funds IN
search of jobs at profit and the
influx of frightened capital abroad,
some Of which is said to be trickling
into the market.
Measured by the Associated Press
average Of go stocks, the market rose
os of a point to 48.4. Transactions
totaled 6e7,l 100 shares for the two
hour session. compared with 1927
$40 shares for the flve-hour period
on Friday.
Brisk foreign buying Of copper
showed the export price up 20 of a
cent to sos cents, or .o5 OF a cent
above the prevailing price for do
mestic copper.
The boost was said in trade circles
TO have resulted from a sharper call
for the metal by foreign countries. 1t
Is reported that in addition to the
buying of copper by foreign govern
ments, there has also been accumu-
Iation by industrial companies abroad
In order to forestal depletion of in
ventories.
for gains of fractions to 2 or more
points included: American Smelling
at 81, Anaconda at 223s, Cerro de
Pasco at so. Chile Copper at 241a,
Kennecott at 264. Phelps Dodge at
2534 and United States Smelling at
e8la.
Shares of few other companies
which, in the opinion of brokers
might benefit from foreign purchases
turned in gains of fractions to more
than a point. These were Boeing Air
plane at 1914, Du Pont at 1894
Electric Boat at 1914 and Interna-
tional Nickel at 3l5s.
Chrysler and General Motors edged
ahead fractionally on brisk turnover
as traders kept an eye on the ap-
proach of public offering Of the new
models.
Prominent issues which moved up
fractionally included U. S. Steel at
43s4, Westinghouse at 1873, American
Telephone at 1879, Bethlehem Steel
at 373s, Consolidated Gas at 275s
General Electric at 1914 and Mont
