GERMAN PROPERTY WORTH
MILLIONS HELD BY L. S,

Washington.-Approximately S4OO,
100000 worth of property seized from
German and Austrian owners when
the United States got into the war
still is under the trusteeship OF Alien
Property Custodian Garvin, 1t was es-
timated here to-day.
According to this estimate, some
thing like $3OO,0O0,0O0 worth of prop
erty has been turned back to its own
ers under the amendment to the trad
ing-with-the-enemy act passed last
fall by Congress Each details OF the
transactions will not be available un-
til Garvin makes his annual report to
Congress.
Future disposition Of the property
still held is one of the problems that
will confront the Congress which set
ties the question Of the peace treaty.
The property still held, which In
cludes hundreds of going concerns
manufacturing practically every
product from chemicals to steel, now
is piling up profits which further
complicate the problem of what dispo-
sition to make. These profits now are
being invested in Liberty Bonds and
government securities, subject to the
direction Of the Treasury Depart
ment.
Approximately $4,000 persons of
German and Austrian origin were in
terested in the property seized by the
alien property custodian. A smaller
number of Americans are, or were,
owners of property seized by Germa-
ny is made in the peace treaty. Due
to the fact that the United States has
not ratified the treaty, no returns
have been made to the Germans.
When France, Great Britain and
Italy approved the treaty, their gov
ernment at once began arrangements
to credit Germany with the value OF
the property held.

According to the National Kinder

prominent place in the education OF
little children. Every home needs mu,
sic, is the assertion of the association.
Children are happier and healthier
when they go to sleep or wake up

association quotes Josef Hoffman, as
saying that music is spiritual influ-

the music which fills the minds of
children in more or less unconscious
way makes for continual joy and hap

Bird Bests the Sailor.

The old-tjme sailor was a master
workman in making knots. splicing
rope, etc., but even he would probably
take off his hat to Baltimore oriole
whose nest was recently secured from
a felled poplar in Ann Arbor, Mich.
This nest, it is believed, was made
from a single kite string, which the
bird artisan manipulated into a pouch
51a by 31s inches in size. 1t is de-
scribed as very firmly and compactly
knit together and securely attached
to it's supporting branches. The pa
tience and ingenuity Of the mother
bird that constructed such a nest
might be appreciated by anyone who
should try to make similar pouch
with single piece of cord several hun
dred feet long.-From the Outlook.
