GERMANY WORRIED
OVER BABY CROP

Berlin, April 80 correspondence of
the Associated Press).-As one means
of bringing about muoh-needed re-
forms in conditions prevailing among
petty officeholders and officials in
Germany-those who hold such posi-
tons as postal and telegraph en-
ployes-the Union Of German Off
Gals Associations" is calling espe-
cial attention in these days to the
extraordinary child poverty" in Ger
man officialdom.
This poverty, which is particularly
to be deplored at the present time,
is largely due, it is declared, to the
long training periods now necessary,
which make it all but impossible for
officials to marry until they are in
their late twenties or even thirty
years old. In consequence officials
have, and have had for years, small
er families than almost any other
branch Of employees in Germany.
The union referred to cites as es-
pecially significant the latest availa-
BILE statistics regarding postal en-
ployes in the empire. In their ranks,
it is found, the lower officials have
GIL avn o6C VI 6.1 Gil pei
ly; the middle officials but 1.S chill
dren, and the higher officials only
IL. The figures become more strik-
ing when compared with the average
for all marriages in Germany-which
on an average are blessed with SO
children apiece.
The tendency of the war is to in
crease rather than diminish the
number of petty officials in Ger
many, for it is the ambition of a
great number of wounded men unfit
ted for their old occupations to set
tie down in some little position which
gives him the prestige of little title
and the right to call himself a
"Beamter." The fuller the ranks
get, the greater, of course, is the
tendency for salaries to drop.
The leaders therefore are doubly
anxious to get reforms begun before
it is too late, and regard the present
time as the psychological one when
all over Germany there is demand
for an increased birthrate, more mar
riages and larger families.

MONEY IN KEOkUk
STREETS? EASY

Did YOU ever stop to think as you
mass the Masonic temple or go up
Fifth street or wander past any OF
the local theatres, just how much
money there is left lytng-perhaps
standing is the best word-about the
street.
Take a good look the next time
Won happen around any OF these
n1aces and see for yourself. These
are the favorite parking spots for
automobiles, and if you strike happy
medium and compute each auto at an
average of $1,000 you can easily
figure out the fortunes that are left
in the streets.
It is easy at any time during the
dav to count from five to fifteen autos
parked along the curbing on both
sides of the street at Seventh and
| Rlondeau. There is like number
and frequently all the way from tif-
teen to twenty or twenty-five along
fifth street. and in the evenings 1t
| ia no trick to count soma thirty odd
IN the vicinity Of Sixth and B!ondeau
and considerable number along
Main street between Fourth ana
Fifth. or
! 600 and even s25, 5000, is left stanolhs
around the streets of Keoluk every
day The machines which are left
rarked along Blondeau street and
Fifth street during the day, at least,
belong to professional men for the
most part. In the evenings the family
cars make their appearances In the
assortment around the theaters. =.
And yet with all this wealth lett
around the streets Keokuk has oeen
exceedingly fortunate in the smaii
number of automobile theits commit,
ted One car completely disappeared
some two years ago, and another car
was stolen last fall, but that was
taken out of the garage. SeVerai
autom obiles have recently been tne
object of petty thieves who nave
taken gloves and robes out OF the
cars But for the most part there mas
been very small amount OF car

day. on tour Of inspection of the
southern Idaho schools, and after
being shown the various departments
of the high school by Principal Igel-

institution, both as to the building
with its equipment and the nature Of
the courses. Mr.. Peterson is head Of
of a great vocational school, and
naturally he was most enthusiastic
about that part of our high school
devoted to practical training. He
said:
Especially noteworthy is the prog

especially for the satisfactory and
efficient performance of the duties
of home management is the most i'm

today. Every encouragement should
be given the principal and faculty
in developing this work. The high
