EDUCATION NEEDED.

The technical training gives her knOwl-
edge 10 decide what is the best thing 10
do with each individual type OF fabric
Suppose a garment comes in with GER
tain stain. Her training and experience
should teach her TO answer such questions
as these: What is this MATERIAL Can
/ use acid or alkalis OH it, rs il stain
that water will remove II SO. will
water spot the fabric?" How may ]
save the COLOR" How may ] prevent
grease rings?" How may take out the
ring which water has left?" Experience
is valuable in such work, but one will
never be able 20 answer these questions
surely or completely without some knowi-
edge OF linens. cottons, silks and wool
ems: what chemicals affect them and
what ones do not, and what chemicals
viii destroy the after-effects OF the one
which has been used. Hence. the profess
sional laundress's training should give
her sufficient knowledge Of textiles and
chemistry TO meet such emergencies.
Again. her knowledge of soaps and blues
should be sufficient TO make her an eco
nomical buyer and judicial user Of them.

NEW NOTES
FROM BERLIN
HOW GERMANS ILLUSTRATE, BY
MEANS OF MOVIES, FOR USE OF
PEOPLE THE IMPURITIES IN
MILK.
BAD WEATHER IN ALPINE COUN-
TRIES. MEAT PRICES ADVANCE.
PRIVATE COMPANIES INSURE
LIVES OF GERMAN WORKMEN.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Berlin, Feb. GA moving picture film
showing the dangers of an impure milk
supply has been exhibited with such good
effect in Germany that health officers at
once became much more rigorous in their
enforcement Of the pure food regulations.
Their campaign against negligent dairy
men was conducted with such energy that
the milkmen finally presented a petition
to the authorities, asking for the prohibit
ton of this particular film. In reply TO
this action Professor SchlOSSmann, Of the
Dusseldorf Municipal Hospital for child
rem. who is responsible for the film,
proved that it had led to the trail and
conviction of many dairymen for viola
ton of the pure food regulations. Its ex-
hibitiOn was not discontinued.
Much is being said in Germany iowa
DAYS about the possible evil effects Of NOV
ing pictures, but the other side of the
question, the moving picture as a pub
lie educator, is well illustrated by the
experiment of Professor SchlOssmann.
His film showed particularly how impure
milk is responsible for many of the di-
seases OF children, and it was teXhibited
excessively throughout the Rhine Prov
ince in promoting a propaganda for re-
ducing the rate of infant mortality. The
net results so far have been excellent.
The health authorities are enforcing
existing rules and regulations much
more effectively; the dairymen are pro
ducing a better article, and the children
are drinking cleaner and purer milk
Moving pictures have become an import
ant part of the entertainment business in
Germany There are now no less than 90
moving picture theatres in the capital,
with as many more in the suburbs The
tendency is to erect SPECIAL houses, archi-
tecturally suited for picture-shOw Three
such establishments are now building in
Berlin, one Of which will seat 1,600 per
sons
On the other hand, there are already
signs of overprOductiOn in the business.
With so many competitors in the field,
prices Of admission must necessarily be
kept very lOw. Moreover, the film prOduc-
ing companies, which are on q strong fl
nancial basis, are making harder terms
for the show managers than hitherto,
particularly for the best class Of films.
As competition grows, the tendency to
put on trashy, sensational and mclcdram
attic films increases. Many Of the mana
gers hew as closely as possible to the line
Of police prohibitions; hence the cry j.
raised with growing frequency in the
press for a more rigid censorship Of
films A committee Of university profess
ors. scientific and literary men and ar
fists have been appointed to find ways
and means for making the moving pic
ture do better service in disseminating
general knowledge, particularly Of a
scientific and educational value.

hands of the government and its organs.
An assOciatiO for inSuring the working
classes on the largest possible scale has
just been founded at Berlin under the
presidency Of Count POSadOwsky, former
secretary Of the interior.
The capital for this crmp1ny, amount
ing to $4,000, has bon subscribed by
thirty Germin life insurance companies.
They agree 40 accept a maximum divi-
dend Of 4 per cent. on their investment,
and to put into the bylaws a provision
that this feature cannot be changed with
out the consent Of the Chancellor Of the
Empire. In addition. these companies
supply a fund of $23S,0OO, free of interest,
for the purpose Of efraying the expenses
incident to organizing the general com
pany. The new concern intends to Oper-
ate largely in conjunction with existing
labor unions, sick funds and other organ
~izatiOns Of the working classes. 1t will
%cOnfine itself to writing small insurance
policies of various forms and for various
purposes. IT will also assist wOrkmen in
owning their own homes.

Meat prices, with the exception of beef,
have advanced sharply again, after hay-
ing remained nearly stationary since DC
tobcr. October prices were much higher
than those for October Of 1911, and any
advance over them means that a cOnsid-
cradle portion of the poorer classes will
eat less meat and eat it less often.
The number of animals available for
slaughter in Germany is tO-ay much low
or han it was a year ago, and lower also
than it was in 1907. Their care reductions
in hogs and neat cattle compared to a
year ago ranging from 5 to Is per cent,
according to the locality, and in some
places the reductions in the numbers Of
sheep amount to 50 per cent.
Buyers paid the farmers about II cents
a pound for live hogs in January, 1911.
This month they are paying about Is Il
cents.
INSURANCE FOR WORKING MEN.
The insurance of the German working
classes is not to be left wholly in the
