NEED FURNITURE IN GERMANY
Problem Of Its Supply Has Added One
More to the Troubles Of the Gov
eminent.

The German government has so far
been unable to find any substitute for
furniture, and has not yet had the
temerity to ask its subjects to follow
the example of theirs Turkish allies
and sit on the floor. The result is a
scarcity that has caused secondhand
dealers to reap enormous profits.
A secondhand kitchen chair that
formerly cost about 80 cents now sells
for S.. An old bedstead that used to
sell for IS now brings $50. Second
hand dealers have secured the country
and old tables and chairs have been
brought from cellars and garrets, but
the demand still outruns the supply
and prices already 400 per cent above
normal, threaten to go higher.
The problem is likely to become
more acute as soon as the war ends.
Thousands Of couples, that married
when the men were called into the
army will wish to establish homes Of
their own. The government has pro-
vided many houses In advance. but
these will be Of little use without
furniture.
Some urge that the government
make the same rule regarding second.
hand furniture as Is now In force In
the old clothes trade; put the private
dealers out Of business; tx lower prices
and make 1t crime for anyone to sell
the secondhand articles except to the
state.
A number Of capitalists and furni-
ture manufacturers have formed an
association to make new furniture and
sell 1t at four per cent above cost on
the installment plan, requiring one
third Of the purchase price as first pay
ment. The cost Of new furniture, even
under this arrangement, Is almost pro.
hibitive. because Of the scarcity Of ma
terials and the high wages Of labor.

Cy Heckert Writes Letter
of Thanks For Helmet

Another letter of thanks from one
of the Harrisburg boys at Camp
Hancock has just been received by
Mrs. Mira Atticks, 1903 North Front
street. The boys are always espe-
cially delighted when they receive
anything from their own home town
as the following letter will testify:
January 2, 1918.
Dear Mrs. Atticks:
l have just been the recipient of
the most wonderful knitted helmet.
l am proud of the fact that it comes
from Harrisburg and 1 being a Har-
risburg boy will naturally appre-
ciate it all the more. l sure do
want to thank you for your kindness
and | assure you it will be worn to
the best advantage as the South
isn't as warm as the folks up North
think it is. Camp life so far has
been very pleasant. 1 have enjoyed
most everything that is to be seen
or had at Camp Hancock so l have
very little to kick about. In fact
very few of the boys are complain
ing other than with a little cold.
l again want to thank you for yonr
time you gave for the good cause
and I assure you when I return to
Harrisburg I will surely make a call
on Mrs. Atticks. / am,
Yours sincerely.
CY. II. HECKER,
Camp Quartermaster.
