SCRATCH HITLER'S
SYMBOLS ON COINS
INCREASES MEANS OF NAZI
PROPAGANDA PREVAIL
EMIT IN AUSTRIA
tBy Associated Pr~sSl

VIENNA, April 6.-Money,
passing from hand to hand. is an
increasing means of nazi prOpa-
ganda in Austria.
The silver five-schilling piece
bears an image of the Virgin
Mary. AZ cross hangs from a
chain about the neck. A favorite
trick of the propagandists is to
scratch the cross with a pin or
knife so that it becomes a swas-
tika.
The Austrian ten-schilling note
bears a picture of a peasant girl.
Mortified. authorities noted re-
Gently that nazi artists. in hun
dreds of instan .es. had given her

Notes and coins so mutilated.

worthless. Banks and government
cashiers will not accept them. The
defaced coins may be turned in
for the comparatively small value
OF the silver they contain. But the
pretty girl with the mustaehe is
a total loss
The nazi DETACHMENT OF money
has slowed up business transac-
tions. The merchant examines
every coin and note carefully
while busy cashiers at theaters
and movies are driven TO distrac-
ton.
Foreigners often find. after n
days shopping. that they have ac-
cumulated money which even beg

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 6.
The Joker" which Congress let
slip by in the bill to extend the
air mail service which was passed
at the last session, will pre-
vent Key West from getting
direct air mail service this year
at least, according to Charles P.
Graddick, head of the division of
air mails of the post office de-
partment.
Key West is only one of many
towns in the country that have
asked fer direct air mail service,
which they will not receive be.
cause of the "jokcr."
The "joker" in the bill to ex.
tend the air mail service was a
clause providing that the division
of air mails slash operating costs
so that by July 1, 1888, expendi-
lures would balance revenue.
According to Graddick, it will
be impossible to extend the air
mail service to Key West this
year because Congress will not
appropriate enough money for the
project.
In order to keep the air mail
running last year, the division
had to ask for a deficiency ap.
preparation of $1,3OO,OOO. The
amount of the deficiency was
added to this years requested ap-
preparation, Graddick stated. To
meet the 1888 deadline, the divi.
sion will have to avoid taking on
any additional expense during the
coming fiscal year. This means
that Key West cannot be added to
the air mail routes.

TOTAL SALES DURING DAY
WAS SHOWN TO BE APP
FORTUNATELY $4,000

Sponge sales this morning at
the municipal dock were the live
Hest in many weeks, it was said
by buyers. Some of the lots
brought what is considered good
prices. Total sales amounted to
approximately $4,000.
There were three bidders, MAX
ing purchases. Victor Moffat,
Milton Russell and Leon Carey, the
latter buying for the American
Sponge and Chamois company.
Mr.. Moffat's purchases amount
ed to about $1,961; those of Mr..
RusselPs totalled approximately
1921 and of Mr. Carey's, 81,
308.63.
The highest price paid for a
lot was 1852, Mr.. Moffatt, who
also paid 1851 for another lot.
Mr.. Carey's highest purchase was
for $675 and mir. Russell paid
$441.7O for a lot.
AS far as can be learned the

Last week was also considered
a fairly good week for the sponge

of today.
