Of Certain King TO the
Motorists of His Own
Country Now.


BERLIN, Aug. 3f-The emperor
who is sometimes cet.ously called
"the imperial drummer" because OF
his activity in drumming up trade
for the royal Prussian porcelain fac
tories, is not the only HohenzoIlern
who does not hesitate to use his per-
sonal efforts to further German in
dustry.
Prince Henry, of Prussia, grand
admiral of the fleet, has now fol-
lowed his imperial brothers example
by publishing in the General Auto
mobile News an article over his own
Signature, in which he appeals to
German motorists to use German
liquid fuel. a by-product of coal dis
tillation, instead of a foreign one
He cites his own experience and
those of others to show that the

quart, as any other. and points out
that 1t costs less. Aside from this.
however, Prince Henry finds his
strongest argument in the national
interest. He says:
"The prices for ordinary liquid
fuel are dictated for US by foreign
countries, especially America. The
German automobile world is as ye,
entirely dependent on importations
and this is a great national menace
in case OF war. Every automobile
owner should, therefore. quite apart
from pecuniary considerations, dc
his part to see that the domestic
product made by German workmer
and German producers, from Ger
man products, shall be more gener.

case of necessity, the German indus

cred by them are far from being
among the poorest people in Ger
many. For example, labor paper
has just been publishing the family
budgets OF siIesian miners, which
show that they eat almost no meat
at all. and the small quantity con-
sumed is mostly horse flesh.
Horse racing has become the

Germany, the number of soverelgns
and royal princes engaging actively

land in Europe The King of Wurt-

varia own large racing stables and,
though the Emperor himself is far

crown prince. in partnership with
his adiutant, owns and races a stable
of runners. Prince Eitel Fritz, sec
ond son OF the emperor, in SPITE OF
his weight and steadily growing
waste line, recently rode and won a
race FOR officers of his regiment, and
Prince Walrod. of Schaumburg-
Lippe, has won many races on his
own horses.
The finest cavalier of them all is,
however, Prince Friedrich Karl, OF
Prussia, the nineteen-year-old cous.

world. The young prince, not hav.

The Agriculture Chamber of tho
Rhine Province has Just published
some statistics which afford a strik-
ing corroboration of statement
made recently by Socialist in the
Reichstag to the effect that potatoes
are the ch!ef diet of the poorer
classes in large sections Of Ger
many.
The Agricultural Chamber, which
is body legally constituted to
gather information for the govern
ment on agricultural matters, has
been studying how the peasantry
lives. 1t publishes the family
budgets of thirty peasant families
with annual incomes ranging be-
tween SAT- and 1920. About two
thirds OF them had the higher fg-
ure and owned small farms from
ten to forty-seven acres.
II was found that the average
daily consumption of potatoes OF the
thirty families was nearly three and
one-third pounds for each person
whereas the consumption OF meat
was loss than three ounces; of but
ter 1.1S ounce, and slightly more
than one pint OF milk. of which
nearly one-half was skim milk or
butter milk.
The most important article of
Diet. after potatoes, was bread. OF
which each person consumed nearly
