Despite it's present smut tiness, crime and disorder they said, Der lin will regain its reputation as the clean est, safest and best governed city in the world Wermuth said that further dis turbances would bring agony, and urged all to work to improve conditions.
 Sydicus Wiilner admitted that Berlin never was popular, especially in Germany and that Berlin is considered a black sheep among German cities. He ex- plsined that it's position necessitated the .pI essence of good, bad and indifferent
 pr. Max Osborn declared that imperial Berlin had clogged itself with lonely buildings and senseless monuments. The real Berlin is hidden behind these pre- tentious characterless things. but now there is no barrier to recreating it as a city of art without parallel" he declared.

NO RISK INVOLVED

Thrift society membership cards are passed out to the people, and full ex- plan&tion is made that there is no risk involved nor any possibility of loss. These joining the society sign the cards, writing in the space. provided the amount which they can convent ently save from week to week, and agree to purchase that amount in gov ernment Thrift Stamps.
 The amount may be as low as 25 cents per week, thus enabling every person of whatever income or obliga- tion to join the society and begin to accumulate fund which will mount surprisingly after being kept up for a number of weeks. It has been ob- served that those who begin saving in this way on a small scale and con- tinue consistently week by week not only take a wholesome pride in their organization, but find that much more than they first thought can be thus put at handsome interest for meet ing future obligations.
 Agencies for Thrift and Savings Stamps are established wherever so- cieties are organized, so that members are enabled to make their purchases of stamps right in their own place of business. and thus a spirit of stronger loyalty is established between firm and emplove
