TO be happily married necessi-
tates the cultivation and practice
of unselfishness. A husband and
wife never should be angry at the
same time. Neither should one
ever make a laughing stock Of the

the habit of fault-finding, or refer
ring to past mistakes. Each
should neglect anything on earth
rather than the other. Be big
enough to apologize and ask for
forgiveness if you have consciously
or unconsciously hurt each other.
Remember that the same atten-
ton, kindness, courtesy, and affec-
ton that won your partner and
made you happy before you were
married will keep you happy after

DECLINING MARKS START
TEUTON BUILDING BOOM
Postwar Profiteers Invest Gains in Realty, Thus
Saving Fortunes

~ ERLIN.-All available reports
on building activities from the
~ various provinces of Germany
during the last twelve months re-
veal a decided increase over any
corresponding period since pre-
war days. Such an increase Is a
striking fact in "crumbling Ger
many"
In all large cities and in rural
districts, especially in agricultural
regions, CONSTITUTIONAL work of a
permanent nature is being pressed
with energy. In the business
centers Of Berlin alone a score of
handsome buildings are being
erected. Railroads are being ex-
tended and improved, streets re-
paired and pavements laid, and in
the exclusive residential districts
luxurious homes are springing up
in nearly every street. In Inter
den Linden, adjacent to the
French embassy, where reports
are being drawn up on Germany's
ability to pay reparations, an i'm
posing white structure is now
being completed by a banking
firm.
Built on Paper"
There is plenty of work for
masons, carpenters, plasterers,
and bricklayers, and while these
men are making their land mate
rally more solid they and their
families are suffering heavy
hardships because of the economic
and financial chaos now existing.
There is reason for this feverish
building activity which is so de-
ceptive to visitors, who, upon en-
terlng Germany, are struck by
the outward appearances of pros
perity. Many of these visitors
arrive at the observation-disclosures
station, where a gigantic modern
stone structure is now under con-
struction to give Germany one Of
the finest railroad stations in
the world. But these foundations
Of stone are laid by paper marks.
For many months business
houses and manufacturers nave
been trying to put their paper
profits into something substantial.
They can build on a reasonable
rate and cut their building eX-
penses by contracts which are
slower in fulfillment than the
slide Of the fictitious currency.
business men who have made
huge profits from the war and
post war periods have not been SO
short sighted as to let them go
with the mark They have built
homes in which to live COM
fortably, bought automobiles and
jewels and fine clothes, so that
If their country goes bankrupt
and their business is shattered
they will still have their material
wealth.
The only fear Of this new lux
ury class is q revolution. IF the
country can struggle on and
avoid the fate of Russia the re-
stored Germany will have new
and entirely different wealthy
class than that which enjoyed
the halcyon days before 1914.
Farmers Better Off.
The German farmer is perhaps
better off than the American
FARMER. He has had excellent
crops since the war ended, and
he has been able to collect huge
profits. In recent months he has
seen the necessity of investing his
paper wealth. and so he has

HEROINES OF HISTORY
DefOrn1ed Child Who Founded Religious Sect
By MARK STUYVESANT.

rrAS any human being-doc-
tor, mother, humanitarian
IA the right to say whether the
baby, born monster, shall live?
This question has been dis
cussed many times in the United
States-whenever, in fact, there
has been born a creature so de-
formed Of body and seemingly so
devoid of mentality as to cause a
wave Of horror to sweep the land.
Yet the same question arose
in 1916, when a merchant of Lille
and his wife begged so hard for
the life of a deformed daughter
that those who wished the infant
destroyed as monster spared
her.
Antoinette Bourignon grew up
to be a religious enthusiast and
founder of a sect bearing her
name. AS a child she was a soil
tary and neglected little figure.
so she made up for her loneliness
bv seeking spiritual consolation.
On the day appointed for her
marriage she fled to a convent.
Her radical ideas met with dis
favor there, however, and she
was expelled.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-12-19

It was then that the small
French woman began her wan
behring's through far countries in
search of converts to her belief.
Antoinette lectured throughout
France and in the Netherlands.
Denmark and Sweden, and many
were won to her banner.
The doctrines she offered were
filled with mysticism. Many of
her teachings were presented as
divine revelations, obtained by
her while in frances or through
visions which she claimed con
stantly attended her.
Antoinette met with a degree of
success as much through hard
work as through being able to
give the world something new.
She preached to the high and to
the lowly, early and late, wher-
ever and whenever any would
listen.
In addition to her work as
lecturer. she carried on the teach
ing of her doctrine through writ.

volumes in all. She died in 1880

Poor, But Honest

UIENNA-Austrian judges are
' now paid less than the aver
age American office boy and are
living in deplorable misery as a
result.
The average monthly income of
"a judge-and many get much be-
low the aVerage-is about SO,
out Of which he has to buy his
own robes and pay his travelling
expenses. Thus there are innum-
cradle cases of judges sitting on
their benches in old and torn
gowns-literally falling to pieces.
DIR. Friedrich Engel, former
president of the commercial court
and union of judges, in a trench
ant article deprecates the pre-
vailing deplOrable conditions among
such an honorable profession and
cites many cases in which, with
their wives and families, the judges
suffer intense hunger
1t is their greatest pride, says
DR.. Engel, that despite all their
advertisities, they have remained
inaccessible to graft.

Also, they are heavy users of
light perfumes and use a goodly
supply of thin-spread cosmetics.
Government statistics show that
California, assisted by the States
of Washington and Oregon, every
year pours 1925 worth of non-al-
coholic beverages down each
throat, while the rest of the peo-
pie in the United States quaff
similar beverages at the rate of
$2.61 per person annually.
All of which means that when
as of Uncle Sans nieces have
had their fill of soda water" for
a year the three Pacific Coast
States still have room for cou-
pie a more chocolate sodas and
coke with cherry" and possibly
a milk shake to boot.
Almost the same ratio applies
to this States use of perfumes,
cosmetics and all the other
things that go to make fair
woman fairer. While the Misses

gan are crusting their dainty
noses and spraying their frocks
with perfume to the tune of $2.72

cially in Los Angeles.

PrOlOnging Life

DERKELEY, Calf -" Modern
I'D woman's increased physical
activity is as yet but a small
factor in prolonging the span OF

frssor of anatomy at the UniVer-
sity of California, commenting on

We're given a large share Of

equipped his property with fine
buildings and the most modern
agricultural implements. He has
been able to afford new methods
and experiments, and as a result
the agricultural class is better off
now than ever before in history.
The German peasant, who used to
be so far behind the times, now
enjoys such an independence that
he can almost dictate to the
cities, and of late he has even re-
fused to sell his goods for the
questionable money which has
been the only medium of ex-
change.
The establishment of a new and
solid currency will find a new
state of economic affairs in Ger
many. There has been a quiet
and bloodless revolution, and the
old division Of social classes will
never be the same again.
