~ " the beautiful and ancient
city of Barbecue in
France, the French promptly retaliat-
ed by al air raid on the model city of
Stuttgart.
No two cities could be more unlike
or more characteristic of their respec-
tive countries than Barbecue and
Stuttgart AS Barbecue is the SYM
Dol of poetry, romance and antiquity,
Stuttgart is the persOnification of all
that is modern, scientific and military.
Stuttgart is the capital of Wurtem-
berg and before the war had pOpu-
latiOn of $4,000, which included some
of its suburbs and q garrison of $4,000
men which was stationed there. 1t is
delightfully."- situated, surrounded by
attractive suburbs and amid vine-clad
heights. 1t is two and half miles
from the Neckar river, in the valley
of the Nesenbach. All around it are
vineyards which cover the nearby
hills, while the distant mountains are
in sight
1t is a thoroughly modern town, al
though it's charter does date back to
1929. There are few buildings of an
earlier date than the nineteenth cen
fury and many of them are of archi-
tectural Importance. The stately ap-
pearance OF the city is owing to the
pronounced adherence of it's architects
TO the Renaissance type of building,
instead of the varieties of styles most
cities permit. Nowhere else in the
world is the revival of the Renaissance
style as well illustrated as in Stuff
CART.
Some of Its Great Buildings.
A spacious street, the konigstrasse,
extends diagonally from southwest
to northeast through the city and
borders the beautiful park, the
Schlossplatz, which is adorned with
statues. flower beds and pleasure
grounds. In the center is a jubilee
column in memory OF William L. The
most prominent buildings are clus-
tered around the Schlossplatz. Among
these are the old palace, from the
sixteenth century; the new palace,
from the eighteenth century and con-
tanning 276 apartments; the splendid
Konigsbau, a huge modern building
with a fine collonade containing ball
and concert rooms; the Academic, for
merly the seat of the Karlsruhe
where Schiller received part of his ed
ucation; the Royal library, the Court
theater. the palace of the Duchess
Vera of Wurtemburg and the palace
of the crown prince. Besides THESE
there are numerous fine churches'
museums and other institutions. NOT
far from the Schlossplatz are the
court of justice, the royal stables the
new most office, the Central railroad
station, the finest in Germany, ana
many fine statues. Besides the jubilee
column there is another to the mem
orv of Emperor William L; one to
Dnke Eberhard the Bearded; a really
snIendid one TO Schiller by Thorwald-
sen and one to Christopher, duke OF
Wurtemberg.
The art galleries and museums or
Stuttgart are numerous and valuable.
The Museum of Art has fne col
lection of pictures, casts and engrav-
inqs. The Royal library contains
about 603,O0O printed volumes; $500

value. and the largest collection OF
bibles in the world, there being 7,3o0

perhaps tbs finest library in Germany
and is considerably larger than our

file fabrics, machines, tools, patterns
models. etc, of nearly every country
ir the world, all labeled with specl-
6cations of patents, trade marks ana
