WHERE BLUE BLOOD RULES
in Germany and Austria It Makes No
Difference How Much You Have,
Only What You Are.

Miss Wylie says in her Eight Years
in Germany" that contempt for mere
money is a striking characteristic OF
the German people. Wealth alone
does not entiile its possessor to any
special Difference or consideration.
"The Germans indifference to
money" she declares, amounts very
nearly to contempt. ! am not speak
ing only OF the aristocracy. The very
shopkeepers themselves have the same
feeling, and It has often amused me
during the Christmas shopping to
watch how poverty-stricken Baroness
Won X is surrounded by courteous
deferential attendants, eager to sell
her the sixpenny knickknack she has
come TO buy, whereas wealthy Frau
Rosenkrantz, making her expensive
purchases, receives no particular at
tentlon.
I'm Germany you can be poor and
live poorly without reproach. You can
live in a garret and dress as your
means allow, but you will not be
judged by your garret and your shah
biness. but by yourself. II you have
an honored name or spark OF genius
the doors OF the most exclusive circles
are opened to you. Talent and birth
are the only passwords that German
society understands; and wealth, un.
less its owner is very tactful, or Is
himself Indifferent to II, is not wei
coined. Ostentation OF any sort is ar
objectionable offense."
In Austria 1t is birth alone that con-
fers distinction. There is no country
in the world where social caste is so
immutable as It is in Austria. A man
is either born" or not. If he is born"
h. is notable; II he is not born"
nothing can ever make him noble.
II noble marries a woman Of hum.
BILE birth, neither he nor his children
can succeed TO the family property;
neither he himself. his wife nor his
children are received in society. Aus.
tria is therefore divided into three dis
tinct classes: the nobility, the middle
class and the peasantry, each living as
1t were within ring fence. In Britain.
the shopgirl OF today can be the duch'
ess of tomorrow, with all the rights OF
precedence at court and in the social
world that attach to the rank of her
husband; the country boy of today can
be the prime minister OF the future.
Such possibilities do not exist in
Austria. Nothing opens the door of
society in Austria-neither genius,
great wealth, heroism. nor the highest
distinction in the arts and sciences;
nll are unavailing unless their pos
SCISSOR can put the magic word "gebo-
rem" after his name. The emperor from
time to time confers titles of nobility;
but they do not confer the magic
word, and the bearers of those titles
form class by themselves.-Cham

The fact brought out by Dr. William
c. Woodward. health officer OF Wash
ington. ID. c.. before Negro health
conference In New Orleans. that the
high death rate among Negroes is not
wholly due to hygienic conditions, but
TO racial ones as we'll. serves only &c
Increase the concern with which the
entire subject is being viewed. Ths
Negroes, according to this authority
are. for physical and racial reasons,
not so well prepared as the whites
for the conditions OF climate and mode
OF life In this country. To add the
handicap OF the racially unfit to the al
ready heavy burden shouldered by the
Negro is to increase the load OF re
sponsibility for the white man.
When Houston, Atlanta. New Or
leans and other large southern cities
began TO investigate the sanitary and
living conditions in their Negro quar-
shocked at the revelation. In state
OF segregation the thing would have
been bad enough. But colored nurses
cooks and servants of the white peo
pie lived amid these conditions and
came daily from them to wash. dress
and nurse the children OF white peo
pie, serve their meals and clean theiI
houses. This fact. needless to say.
struck residents OF those cities with
considerable force.
Protests had been made to the cen
sus bureau for not separating the
whites and blacks in the mortality
figures for southern cities. the con.
tention being that the high rate was
unfair to charge against the white
people. But after the first flush OF in
dignation wore away and people gave
the subject sober second thought II
was realized that perhaps the white
people were in part responsible for the
high death rate among Negroes, in
asmuch as they had done little or moth.
ing to decrease the figure.
The determined effort on the part OF
the white man to know in broader
terms the life OF the southern Negro
has been remarked by DR.. w. d.
Weatherford of the international COM
mittee OF the Y. NJ. c. A. This is
no morbid curiosity" he said at Mem.
phis last spring. nor is 1t passing
fad. There are fewer magazine ar
ticles. perhaps, and less agitation. but
a book written by southern woman
passed the 10000 mark within eight
cen months after its publication,
which is marvellous sale for any
book dealing with a social problem.
| make bold to say that there have
been more volumes on the Negro read
by southern whites in the last five
years than were read in all the 90
years preceding"
This same authority cited also the
determination by the best element in
the South TO share in the religious
and social improvement Of the Negro
race. Farm demonstration agents
are helping from one TO a dozen Ne
groes to become better farmers. Coun-
ty superintendents throughout the
South are holding Institutes for col
ored people with much thoroughness
and enthusiasm and visiting Negro
schools as never before.
