Thousands of central and eastern European peasants, following a timehonored custom, buried their silver coins against a rainy day. These silver coins, writes Joseph Szebenyel in e1 the Atlantic, naturally retained their at formal value. But the hoarding was tl done on such an extensive scale that, as early as 1918, all silver coins had fr disappeared from cIrculation in Ger- many, Austria-Hungary, Jugo-Slavia, Ioumania and Poland.

Today a peasant who buried 100 5-kronen pieces is a millionaire; he can exchange the 500 kronen in silver for 1,000,000 kronen in paper money. In Austria-Hungary alone there had been in circulation something like 200,000,000 kronen worth of silver money before the war. It would take Austria the enormous sum of 200,000,000,000 kronen to buy up her half of this hoarded silver currency. The fact of being a millionaire in those countries does not mean anything. Such a million is a milvon in figures, but not in value; and when such a million is converted into a sound currency, the shrinkage is fabulous.

But the purchasing power of the depreciated currencies of ceatral Europe has not gone down quite in proportion with the decrease of their exchange value. One million Austrian kronen, which were worth before the war almost $200,000, are worth today not quite $120; but their purchasing value in Austria is considerably more than that. "YANKEE DOODLE" HIS CHOICE Briton Decidedly of Opinion That It Should Have Been Selected as the National Anthem. America has missed her chance in the way of national anthems. She, I understand, repudiates "Yankee Doodle" for "Hall Columbia" or "The Star-Spangled she must be solemn about herself like all the rest of us; but what a lesson she would have taught us, what an artistic success she might have been in every allegorical parade of the nations, If she had stuck to "Yankee Doodle." I do not know what the words 'o mean; but they sound gay and they r- fit the tune, which is one of the best tunes of its kind in the world.

I do not know who composed tune, or 1 when, or where, but it sounds as if it had grown to express the right spirit of a nation about itself and to make fun of all the other solemn tunes a. which express the wrong spirit. For how gay and funny and brave it and how it enjoys itself; how it sets the mind dancing so that the feet are almost forced to dance too. A musician could do anything with it; orchestrate it with drums and trumpets and triangles, slow and quicken it, make variations on it, set it jumping and swaying and turning head-over heels and finally stop breatho less with a crash, for the cheers that r- would certainly Cluttoned Brock, in the New Republic. ty DEMOCRAT 2 years for g3.50 in Bienville parish.
