Contradiction in Berlin.

Fats, oils, clothes, milk for babies
and other necessities are scarce in
Berlin, and so high-priced that the
poorer people can hardly afford them
at all; yet the shop windows along
Inter den Linden are full of beautiful
goods.
Housing conditions pinch despite the
fact that Berlin and other cities have
less population than before the war.
Every candy store window in Berlin
has a crowd before it all day long.
Adults, as well as children, stand and
stare at the displays of sweets.
Movies-most of them immoral-are
always crowded. Twelve new moving
picture houses are to be erected. The
most popular firms are those ION the
ragged edge"
Theaters are crowded, and so is the
opera, as a rule.

MIKE ODOWD DEFEATS
PETROSKY IN PHILLY

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 18.-Mike
O'Dowd, former middleweight king
had an easy eight-round victory
chalked up to his credit last night
at the Ice Palace, when he defeated
Sailor Petrosky in the wind-up.
While O'Dowd won all the way and
won easily, he could not finish the
tough sailorman, who weathered every
rough passage at arms with the true
skill OF an experienced mariner.
The only redeeming feature of Pc
trosky's work was his willingness TO
stand before O'Dowd and take the
gaff for twenty-four minutes. The
sailor took everything Mike handed
out and tried to fight back at the
best OF his ability.
ODowd weighed 100 pounds. while
Petrosky was Ave pounds over this
weight.
