In Role of Cupid
Letter From Hungarian Maid
Leads to Romance With

Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio
appeared in the role of an interna-
tional cupid yesterday.
1t came about this way. One day
last spring the Senator received q
letter with a foreign postmark. Its
author was a young lady who
signed \herself Karola Deak Of Pest
Scent, Hungary. She had Just seen
the Senator's picture In a newspa-
per-
You are so big and handsome-
you look just like my sweetheart
who was killed in the war; Karola
wrote. And then she added a neat
postscript saying: Please send me
some money"
karola's letter was published. A
few days later, Willis received a
letter from E. Dorke of Cleveland.
asking for Karola's address. Il
want to help her, he explained.
Willis gave him the address.
Yesterday Willis received a letter
from Dorke announcing that he and
karola were engaged to be mar
ried. But cruel laws are keeping
them separated. Hungary's quota
under the immigration law is ex-
fausted and Karola is pining away
in Pest Scent. Dorke appealed 10
Willis to get the State Department
to authorize the consul at Pest
Scent to wise Karola's passport. The
Senator promised to use his infiu-
ence.

German Producing
Costs Advancing
May Soon Push Export Prices
Of Many Commodities to
World Level, Says Report.

Rising German production costs
will soon push the export prices OF
many commodities to the world
level. according to information jus,
received by cable by the Depart
ment of Commerce from CONNER
cial Attache Herring in Berlin.
Probably the most striking fea-
ture of the German manufacturers
problem at the present time Is the
marked advance in wages which has
taken place since the middle of
1921. coupled with many ipdica-
tions that the limit of the increases
has not yet been reached. The wage
index of the Frankfurter-Zeitun
shows the following percentages of
wage advances from July, 1921, to
January 1. 1929:
Chemical industry, 46 per cent;
metallurgical industry, IS per cent;
shoe and leather industry. so per
cent; woodworking. so per cent;
building. IS per cent; foodstuffs in
dustry, 81 per cent.
Further wage demands will
doubtless soon have. to be met on
account of various increases in the
cost of living, such as the rise in
bread prices after February 16,
notifications in the maximum rent
regulations and the general advance
In public utility rates made neces-
sary by the deficit in the operation
OF these undertakings.
The declining domestic purchas-
ing power of the mark is bringing
about a necessity for greater in
comes for all classes. A study of
the average monthly exchange rate
and certain. indexes of the Frank
and the Bureau OF
Labor show that the internal pur-
chasing power of the mark was rep
resented. by SOS in January, 1890.
