KETTLE FABRICS
 ARE EXTENSIVELY |. USED IN GERMANY

Amsterdam, Sept. 26.-GovecAment- backed propaganda to familiarize the German public with the advantages of nettle fibre fabrics is becoming more intense as the Fatherland's re- maining wool and cotton stocks are dwindling in size.
 At Zehlendorf near Berlin there Is a large nettle farm where the weeds, planted this spring, have grown to mans height. This nettle-growing business Is carried on under the aus pices of the War Raw Materials" section of the War Department in Berlin, and 25,O00 persons find em- ployment in>- collecting the young plants in all parts of the country.
 At the present time there are in Germany about 100 nettle fibre tex tile works, where the dried stalks are woven into cloth. One hundred lbs. of well dried stalks is paid for at the rate of l 4 marks, while the dry leaves, which are much in demand as cattle fodder, fetch 10 marks for 100 lbs. The same price is paid for pound of dried nettle seeds.
 To encourage private enterprise, ev- cry person who brings in any of the aforementioned quantities, is pre- sented with reel of 'nettle cotton" as a bonus.
 In the vicinity of Stettin and Erie sack in the province of Brandenburg, other nettle farms have been laid out on moorland, which is not suitable for cereal growing. The nettle culti- vatinn which tho Statn a bounty of 16O marks an acre, has the double advantage of preparing the soil for ether crops.
 It is asserted that nettle fibre is stronger than cotton, and that ten pounds of dry nettle stalks yield three yards of "cloth"

BERLIN IS FAVORED.

New York, Sept. 26.-Protests by the municipalities of Dresden and Mu- nich lodged with the German Interior department charge that the city of Berlin is being favored to the detri- ment of other German cities in the distribution of food, according to the Berlin Tageblatt.
 Munich alleges that Berliners re- ceive '250 grams of meat per person as against 200 grams prescribed for Munich and other cities. Dresden complains that Berlin is allowed sev- en pounds of potatoes per capita as against two pounds for Dresden.
 During the three-month period 4Q0,O00 heads of cattle were slaught- cred secretly for the benefit of the Ba- varian tourist trade, which pays little attention to the laws forbidding secret trading in food" another arti- cle in the Tageblatt states.

INFLUX BRINGS PROSPERITY TO
 U. s. CAPITAL

Washington has resigned it's claim to being the ''parlor of the nation" and it's beautiful park system has been smattered all over with war buildings tents, and war gardens. The parks have been put to work. Before the war began 1t was estimated that there were between forty and fifty thousand government clerks in Wash ington. It's a safe guess to say that an additional hundred thousand clerks have been added, though it is only guess. All the permanent buildings of Washington were long since occu- pied by the new activities and the newcomers. Then came the period when the temporary office buildings sprung up. Most of these are two or three stories high, and they are cov- cred outside with stucco, of a sort of battleship grap color. The inside of these buildings is divided off by thin partitions composed principally of "compo board" or heavy building paper. These buildings were put up ''by the acre." and in them thousands :. of clerks, and many of the dollar a year" men serve Uncle Sam. Some new and substantial permanent office buildings are now being constructed. The new "dormitories," of which there will be a few acres, are calculated to give comfortable living quarters to several thousand young women, em- ployed by the government They will resemble the new temporary office buildings, and they are now under way and will be ready forw inter. They will be comfortable, and will, of course, be run in a high grade man. ner. Washington merchants, restaur- anteurs, hotel keepers, and boarding house proprietresses, in contemplat- ing the war can truthfully repeat the old saying. there is never any great loss but there is some small gain" There is a quiet, grim dignity and responsibility about the Washington boom, that makes it different from all other places where there has been phenomenal growth. But Washington is a busy hive of industry. and the young women who have come from all parts of the country are to be partic- ularly commended for the valuable aid they are giving to the nation, in their clerical capacities.
