GERMANS PLACE
BAN ON "KULTUR"
Prohibitive Export Duty
Placed on All
German Books
By FRANK E. MASON
International News Service Staff
Correspondent

correspondent
BERLIN, Oct.-The German gov
eminent has put an embargo on
"Kultur." In 1914 we learned that
"Kultur" was one of the most valu-
able Of German exports to the world;
today Germany by prohibitive ex-
port duty is keeping her "Kultur" at
home.
Immense quantities of German
books were exported before the war
and sent all over the world. No
philosophical, medical or scientific
of Goethe. Schiller, Leasing and other
man authorities. Deluxe editions of
Goethe, Schiller, Leasing and other
classics were bought by connoisseurs
from the Scandinavian countries,
England, Holland and Switzerland,
not to mention the thousands of vol
umes which found their way to North
and South America.
Tourists in Germany today are
warned that they must pay the gov
eminent 200 per cent tax for the
privilege Of taking volume or two
of German "Kultur' home with them
as souvenir. You pay SO marks in
bookstore and 100 marks to the Ger
man custom officials, not to mention
possible import duties in the tourists
own country.
"Our literature and our boks are
our best propaganda" complains one
of Berlin's biggest booksellers. IF
the Versailles treaty had placed the
restriction on exporting our thoughts
and ideas that we have had to suffer
from our own governments foolish
ness, the German press would have
attacked the allies for ,retarding the
worlds scientific and intellectual
progress.
Northern Switzerland, where the
German language is spoken, has been
the keenest sufferer under the prohi
bitive tax. Paris publishers are now
getting this trade, according to the
Berlin book shops.
The government defends the meas
ure as necessary to prevent Germany
from being bought out at cheap
prices because of the low exchange
rate of all of her finest and rarest de
luxe sets. The publishers reply that
they print the books to sell; that as
long as the merchants themselves
have no complaint to make the gov
eminent has no business interfering
with the spreading of German
"Kultur.''

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Three
members of President Wilson's cabi-
net are planning to give up their
places Immediately after the cleo
tion, it was reported here today. They
are Secretary of the Navy Daniels,

held in nineteen insular possessions Of
the United States and IN number Of
foreign countries where there are es-
tablished posts Of the Legion.
Had 1t not been for the initiative Of
the American Legion there would be
no ceremony attached to the distribu-
ton of the medals, Mr.. D'Olier points
out. II believe the American Legion
can take justifiable pride in the
fact that but for it there would have
been no formal observance at all of the
presentation Of the Victory medal"
he said. "Under the original plan Of
distribution applicants were to apply
individually, either through recruit
ing station or military or navy post
or direct to the adjutant general Of
the army or the secretary of the navy.
Medals were to be sent by mail to tho.
home address Of the recipient. The
award of a token so significant as the
Victory medals marks an epoch in our
history and should, and will be, invest
ed with appropriate ceremony"
Post commanders are now drawing
from the government the official appli-
cation forms with which to supply the
ex-service men in their communities.
The posts Of New York city are pro-
viding typewriters and the free serv-
ices Of notaries to all applicants, in
asmuch as it is necessary that all
forms be typewriter and certified.
Any veteran may apply to any one
of the $500 posts in the Legion to
make application for his medal. This
offer applies to non-members as well
as members of the Legion. Special
consideration will be given gold star
mothers and other next-of-kin who
are entitled to the medals of men who
died in the service. Unless the appli-
cant otherwise specifies, medals ap-
piled for through Legion channels will
be retained in charge Of the command
er of the post through which the appli-
cation was made, until Armistice day
when the formal presentation will be
made.
Men who already have applied for
their medals through other channels
may turn them in to any Legion post
for presentation on November. IL.

MT Fliegel, his daughter Helen and son Joseph wish in this way to express their sincere thanks to the friends and neighbOrs who paid their last respects to the beloved wife and mother and showed their great sym pathy for the bereaved family by their attendance at the burial services at the Wilmington Hill cemetery on Sun day afternoon February twenty ninth

 To correct a wrong statement, it is well to explain that the tidings of Mrs. FleigePs death at the hospital was at once telephoned and taken to the afflicted family, as soon as was possible to make a way through the drifted snow. It is all one of the pathetic episodes of this unusual win ter.
 Clarence Eldredge, wife little son and sister, were all sick with the prevailing distemper at the same time; ut with the faithful doctor in attend ance, the indefatigalle attentions of neighbOr Robbins and the kindly in tentions of all friendly neighbors, al- though not a pleasant experience, it has resolved itself into "Alls we'll that ends we'll" This being the second attack of 10th MT. Eldredge and little Claud there was much natural anxiety felt ty all the community.
 Misses Palmer and Cunning, while r, 0r11h hn1, irh1> quent and interesting letters, are not sorry to be in New York with rela- tives and in the enjoyment of all modern conveniences, instead of showed in on this windloved hilltop: Yet they regret losing the beautiful snow effects, as we'll they may, as one of the most beautiful winter land scapes in Connecticut is seen from their rest cottage. Miss Cunning is constantly hearing the best music the metropolis affords she is not only enjoying Tut is storing up all that can te made available for her school work here.
 There was a good number out at Sunday school and church on Sunday In the afternoon a large number at tended the burial service of Mrs. Flei- gel of Daleville, over forty men, women and children walking over the
 Hill in the deep snow, many coming a long distance over almost impossible rOad-Ways. This much loved daugh- ter, sister, wife and mother, who has | cen ill for a long time, was happily taken to the Johnson hospital before the deep snOws made travelling to her home utterly impossible for days and weeks. It is a comfort that she had every attention of physicians and nurses. She was a daughter of the elder MT. and Mrs. Myrtle; the whole Myrtle family Icing held in the high est esteem. Besides her parents and her brother and family, she leaves a husband, one daughter and one son. for whom deepest sympathy is felt by all. The daughter, Helen, a favorite young lady, is a memt CT of the Will- ington girl Scouts, who, with beauti full floral offerings, were in attendance with their leader, Mrs. Smith, and assistant, Miss Mersereau. Rev. MT. Bacheler conducted a very beautiful service and Mrs. Gayon, the teacher of the Center school, sang Nearer My God to Thee" very effectively.

Generally speaking, receding, weak chin is a poor sign in man and woman. It does not denote a warm nature, shows lack of moral and mental force, and indicates that it's possessor is easily discouraged All the same, it does not do to sum up anyone from the chin alone. There may be other characteristics which counterbalance defects.

New Hebrides Customs.

In spite of the white mans efforts to civilize them, natives of the New Heb rides cling tenaciously to their old habits and customs. Superstition and precedent are so firmly rooted in their minds that any new ideas are looked upon with distrust The sacred men of the tribes are sternly jealous of their power and ward of encroaching clvili- zation by terrible threats.
 The islander of the New Hebrides likes visible reminders of his religion and superstition. Sacred objects are guarded by evil-l0oking carved figures and departed chief of tribe Is kept in mind by setting up an effigy in a conspicuous place. There Is never any doubt as to the identity of a figure, as the head of the effigy is the chiefs skull covered over with clay and mold ed and painted to resemble the depart ed one. The rest of the figure is rather like scarecrow. with painted clay body and very few clothes. While this effigy remains in the public view, there is no danger of the chief being forgot ten. His memory is ever green, and he Is fttingly venerated.

peeper Than the Ocean.

Geologists have discovered a number of suboceanic canyons or drowned rivers, along the east coast of the United States. Both the Hudson and Delaware rivers are in thls class, as we'll as Chesapeake bay. The St. Law renee river in Canada, and the Congo, in Africa, are also deeper, near their mouths, than the ocean.
 The Hudson river, worn by the How ing stream is considerably deeper than the offshore part of the Atlantic. It Is flooded by the intruding ocean. The Lay and lower river compose what would be called in Norseland ford.
 The whole east coast of the United States has sunk q good deal in the course of ages, owing to the enormous weight of material brought down by the rivers and deposited out in the ocean of shore. But geologists say that the melting of glaciers has largely to do with the phenomenon.

BL0WPIPE SIMPLE IN ACTION
Tool of Immense Power Simply the Application of Elementary Sci
 entifsc Principles.

An oxy-acetylene or oxy-hydr0gen blowpipe is composed of very light cOnicaI tube, slender and slightly curved at the end whence the flame issues, and provided at the other ex- tremity with two nozzles, to which the indiarubber tubes from the oxygen and aceytlene or oxygen and hydrogen cylinders are attached.
 The principal point about the most up-to-date apparatus lies in the fact that the two gases, instead of being separated up to the very point of iS hilton, are thoroughly mixed fin tho interior of the blowpipe, in such pro portion as to bring about complete combustion. All danger of explosion has been avoided by giving to the gas speed of delivery greater than that of the propagation of the flame, in ac- cOrdance with 6 scientific law laid down ny a French official commission which inquired into Ae subject of fire-d damp.
