FOREIGNERS IN BERLIN
 MUST REPORT TO POLICE

BERLIN, March 29.-Foreigners resident or staying temporarily in Berlin have been ordered again to re- port to the police t.
 When the revolution broke out the rigid rules concerning registration of aliens were summarily wiped out along with other police regulations for which Berlin was famous. The new freedom thus accorded visitors proved expensive for Germany, as it opened her frontiers to promiscuous influx of foreigners, especially Russians, who showed themselves to be skillful in eluding the police dragnet which was thrown out in connection with the widespread Bolshevik agitation
 Besides foreign political agitators, criminal elements from all parts of Germany were attracted to Berlin by the disorders which made the capital lucrative field for their operations. The ten weeks administration of former Chief of Police Eichhorn served to wreck almost completely the efficient police organization for which Berlin was we'll known The work of rehabilitating the system is proceed ing slowly but with determination.

PRICES REACH HIGHEST MARK
 IN RANG

| PARIS, Feb. 25 Correspondence of the Associated Press) Americans are cheerfully paying the exorbitant prices charged them for necessities in France, while the natives pay and groan, declared an Associated Press correspondent who has been making an investigation of French high cost of living. Three American newspaper men recently paid $2 for a taxicab ride that the taximeter showed should cost about 70 cents. A meal without wine for the three hungry scribes cost $20.
 The following figures show the diff ference between the prices now pre- vailing in France and those of the ante-war days:
 Butter, $2 pound, against 30 cents before the war; eggs, $2 a dozen, versus 22 cents, and vegetables rang ing from 14 to 50 cents could be ob- tained for 4, and cents previous to the war. Cheese has advanced from 40 cents to 90 cents; coffee from 40 cents to $1.90. Meat has advanced 300 per cent; chickens which were 60 cents are now $2, and very slim birds at that
 The cheapest business suit can not be obtained under $50, to which must be added s10 as a luxury tax. Silk stockings sell for $3 a pair, and one must be careful to use the subway as much as possible in order not to walk through them on the first day, espe- cially when the $14 pair of shoes which one is wearing absorb damp ness like $4 sponge. Washing comes high at 30 cents cake, and bath is luxury
 Monsieur Jusserand, the French am- bassador in Washington, recently has returned after a long absence. The collars for which he used to pay 13 francs the dozen now are 3950 francs in the same great shop at which he has been trading twenty years, and his 16-franc hat has mounted to 40. Frying $2 steak for two in $4 saucepan is privilege enjoyed only by the rich, and a glass of beer at | 20 cents, plus a scent tip to the waiter, tastes very bitter to a thirsty 1 wayfarer
 The laboring class at one time was eating much rice. But lately that commodity reached figures out of pro portion to the salaries of the work. | ingmen
 A few days ago Food Minister Boret caused the arrest of spectators who were offering rice for sale at 40 cents per pound. It turned out that the rice had been obtained from the food min. istry at the legal price of 16 cents per pound. But it had had a circuit ous journey before reaching the con sumer, passing through six alleged brokers, who in turn levied a percent age on the rice. They were each fined 200 francs and costs.

WOUNDED BUT
 MAKES FIGHT
 FOR DISABLED

LONDON, March 8.-(Correspond- ence of the Associated Press) Seat ed in a chair in the House of Con- mons today, because he had lost both legs in action while fighting in France, Major Cohen, a member from Liver pool delivered an impassioned address in which he pleaded for honesty on the part of the government in dealing with disabled officers and men of the army and navy.
 It was the first debate, on the pen sion question, which promises to be- come one of the most stirring features Of the session. One speaker charged that preparing disabled men to meet the realities of life had not been car ried very far, because only ninety of- ficers and less than eight thousand men of the hundreds of thousands of wounded had up to this time been givcn technical framing. Another charged that the discharged man who was physically fit was in much better situation than the sick, as tubercular soldiers were being charged $1.75 week for treatment in sanitoriums, al- though they had already paid for this in their national insurance.
 These and other charges brought from Major Cohen the fiat statement that it was not training so much as work after they were trained that dis abled soldiers desired. In fact, he was opposed to the whole government plan of training men in certain cent CTS, because only limited number of trades could be taught and there was no assurance of subsequent employ ment when the government turned the men out. He believed that dis abled men should be apprenticed to mastered trades, would be only too glad to retain them in their positions, as they would know just what they could do, and could gauge their wages accordingly
 These men would have their pen sions which, Major Cohen said, he hoped would be enough to enable them to live comfortably. But every man wanted something else. Millions of men had been wounded, and now they were back in civil life they want ed something other than thinking of the war and its effects. They wanted something to do, something to look forward to- The totally disabled men, he concluded, were worthy of something other than being observed as incurables.
 During the debate it was brought out that an officer, leading his battery from the line, had been thrown from Of his widow for pension had been refused on the ground that he had not been killed in action.
 Total pensions and allowances granted to January last was given as 1,7S0,000, and to these figures fresh awards numbering 15,000 to 10000 were added weekly The current financial year will show a total pen sion expenditure approximating $250,- 000,000, it was stated, with some 42,OO0 soldiers still under treatment by the medical corps.

that inevitable economic readjustinen.

view of the anticipated broadening u

Dun's Rercp will say in part:
THAT a hating process has lately

slowing down movement may concei'.
ably become more conspicuous befors
a forward impetus develops With
many buyers still expectant of lower

tons until the markets turn mere de
cisively downward, new orders from
civilian sources have not appeared IN

curtailment or elimination of Govern

creased capacity and with smaller

serious shock that was al first feared
by some people, and while far reach
ing changes are yet to be effected. Che
predominant sentiment is ono OF faith
in the future. This confident spirit,
manifest in spite of clear signs Of slack.
ening tendencies in business. reflects in
no small degree the fact that more
natural conditions have returned witt
the dscontnuance of wartime meas
ures and the knowledge that the &C
cumulated needs here and In Europe
are extensive. That much is anticipated
from a broadening of overseas com
merce. and from the opening of new
opportunities in foreign countries. Is
demonstrated by the widening interest
in export possibilities. and signs are

GIRLS! HAVE WAVY,
THICK, GLOSSY HAIR
FREE FROM DANDRUFF
Save your hair Double its beauty
in few mOments-try this.

If you care for heavy hair. that
glistens with beauty and is radiant
with life; has an incompatible soft
ness and is fluffy, try Danderine.
Just one application doubles the
beauty of your hair, besides it i'm
mediately dissolves every particle of
dandruff; you cannot have nice, hea-
Wy, healthy hair if you nave dan
drun. This destructive scurf rohs
the hair of its lustre, its strength
and its very life, and if not over
come it produces a feveristness and
itching Of the scalp; the hair roots
famish, loosen and die; then the
hair falls out fast.
II your hair has been neglected
and Is thin, faded. dry, scraggy Or
too oily, get a small bottle of
Knowlton's Danderine at any drug
store or toilet counter; apply lit
tie a. directed and ten minutes af-
ter you will say this was the best
Investment you ever made.
We sincerely believe, regardless of
everything else advertised, that if
you desire soft, lustrous, beautiful
hair and lots of it-no dandruff-
no itching scalp and no more fall
ing hair-you must use Knowlton's
Danderine. If eventually-why not
now?-Adv.
