German Furniture Lost
When Gold Forthcoming

Berlin. Nov, 21-(A. p. by MaiD-
Berlin warehouses are packed with
furniture, much of which is being
sold for storage charges. Foreigners
and Germans alike have been COM
PEELED to shrink the size of their
lodgings because of housing regula-
tions and rising living costs. Since
October l the storage charges on all
furniture must be paid in gold
money. Many persons cannot raise
this money. The warehouses may
sell furniture upon which the storage
is not paid four weeks after it falls
due.
Consequently many of the storage
warehouses will. be able to buy in
large quantities of furniture at low
price, which will compensate them
for the low charges they were forced
to accept before the new regulations
were put into force

but she consented to be present at a

forts In battle during the World War.

The producers here apparently do
not visualize any possibility of driv-
ing the Yankee reels OFF British
screens. What they hope for, they
said, is to bring up the home indus

shown on English screens will be
British.

London and the provinces. certain

them back to accepting appearances
of the well-known American actors
and actresses on their screens.

Why Autoists Don't Give Lifts

Any automobilist going out West
chester way, particularly. on the
roads leading to New Rochelle and
Rye Beach, will find himself besieged
by young men and boys seeking "a
lift" occasionally but not so often
two girls walking" will ask a similar
favor.
One man complains that he even
went out of his way to be obliging to
his quests" but that now the world
may walk for all he'll care, says the
New York Sun and Globe. The
other day. hailed by three youths, he
stopped and they all piled in. The
mans wife was with him on the front
seat and passing through New Ro-
chelle she remembered there was q
call she wished to make.
The three alighted grumbling. Later
the automobilist found that his pass
engers had burned holes in his floor
mat, and scuffed the woodwork of the
panels on the front seat.
"You got off lightly" a friend re-
marked. II make it a point to give
no one lift, for I understand that
in the event of an accident self
invited guest could sue me and likely
obtain substantial damages"

Polish BUDGET Balances

Warsaw, Nov. 2O-(A. p. by Mail)
-Poland's budget for 1924 shows a
balance, fact regarded as a distinct
step toward financial recuperation.
Originally it amounted to $300,0OO,-
900, but this amount Of revenue being
impossible to find, it was cut down
to 100000, 900.
An encouraging feature is the fact
that balance is obtained not by a for
eign loan, but by economies at home.

CHEAP MONEY IN GERMANY

"What we need is cheap money for
paying our debts" So spake a far
mer, honest as the day is long but de-
luded, for he did not seem to know
the consequences of cheap money in
reputation and injustice. Cheap
money may be extremely costly.
For example, Gottlieb was a Ger
man farmer in Saxony. He had
worked hard and denied himself for
forty years, and the Lord had blessed
his industry with the unencumbered
title to five hundred acres of produce
tive land.
In the fullness of time GottEeb
waxed old and he fain would set his
earthly affairs in order before his pas
sing. So he sold the farm to Jake,
his oldest son., for sc, marks, to be
paid the estate at his death, thereby
turning the land into money. Gottlieb
was satisfied.
Now Jake had three brothers and
sisters, and presently the mark be-
came cheap-so cheap that the old
man died of a broken heart last Octo-
Der, in contemplation of what he had
done, and the son paid off the other
heirs for about thirty cents apiece of
real money.
Jake is headed for riches, whatever
may happen to his brothers and sis
ters. Butter is 1000 marks a pound in
the neighborhood now, and his is a
dairy farm. One egg is 270 marks,
and chickens go well with cows. A
pound of pork is 5000 marks, and a
dairy farm produces many pigs. Be-
hold what cheap money hath done for
Jake-also for his brothers and sis
ters!-Country Gentleman.

NEWARK'S MILLION DOLLAR MAR
KET NEARLY READY FOR
OPENING

Having completed one of the finest
public market buildings in the
try, the City of Newark is preparing
to take the leadership among New
Jersey municipalities in cooperating
with farmers and dealers to improve
the local food distribution system. To
get food, especially perishable pro-
ducts, by the most efficient and eco
nomical system possible into the
homes of it's great city and suburban
populations, has been recognized by
city officials as a modern duty impos-
ed upon municipal government and
they are now giving consideration to
a further plan proposed by women
of the city, for engaging a specialist
to direct the city's markets.
Largely through efforts of Com
missioner Charles r. Gillen, Newark's
centralized municipal market system
has been developed. The new build
ing costing approximately $4,000, 900,
is unique in its arrangements. On the
main floor, nearly $50 market stalls,
finished in sanitary tile, provide ac-
COll1h1OddJlOllO III IN CAdlI0 -nduu-
ling every type of food products
from the farms of Jersey to the trop-
les; from the cattle ranches of the
West tothe fish pounds and oysters
beds of the Atlantic coast. Refrigera-
ton is provided from a big plant in
the basement. On the second floor is
a municipal parking place for auto
na0hf1aa arI %p,o1- Tl,4 H,,sI1sa&
will be opened for use early in the
summer.
On the plaza adjacent to the mnui-
cipal market building, arrangements
have been made to accommodate the
farmers market. Bordering the
square and ON adjacent streets are
wholesale trade and commission
houses.
Commissioner Gillen gives much
of the credit for the marketing devel-
opments accomplished by his depart
ment to the support given the move
ment by women of the city. Through
the Contemporary Club, a special
committee, with Mrs. Jay w. Connel-
ly as chairman, has been making a
Sp6Cldl STUDY OF newark s IOOu anu
marketing problem and the new mar
keting program is generally regard
ed as a recognition of the interests of
the housewives of the metropolis.
To complete the efficiency of a city
marketing plan, the women's organi-
cations are asking the city govern
ment to provide a city market direc-
tor. Arrangements will be made, it
is said, to have such an official act al
so as a representative of the federal
and state market bureaus. such an
official, it is claimed, could be of in
valuable service to farmers and ship
pers in acquainting them with city
food conditions, and to dealers in
ironing out many problems of ship
ping and distribution, but chiefly to
consumers in insuring an adequate
food supply and in keeping the public
informed as to ~seasonable crops and
advantageous times to buy staples
and special suppIies.-From Depart
ment of Agriculture, Bureau of Mar
kets, Trenton, N. J.

TT SEEMS likely that the crisis in
Germany will come sooner than had
been expected, but the nature of the
settlement, if one is reached, is as I'M
certain as it ever has been. In other
words, the two contestants show no
sign of approaching an agreement, and
from no other source has there APP
peared a plan that seems likely to be
adopted. 1t may be the whole thing
will be put up to Uncle Sam, and that
the solution will depend on his willing
ness to sacrifice a large part of the
war debt owed him by Europe in re-
turn for German bonds of so little
probable value that they might be
considered mere scraps Of paper.
Premier Poincare, speaking at the
unwilling of a war memorial in Dun
kirk, unequivocally pledged the
French government to compel Ger
many to pay the PREPARATIONS and swore
that the occupation of the Ruhr and
Rhineland should continue until the
payments have been executed. He
gave warning that unless the mu-
nitions manufacturing centers in the
Ruhr were held, Germany would be
ready in 1925 to refuse all payments
and to defy the allies.
Berlin reacted strongly to this
speech, which the German government
denounced as a sermon of violence"
Foreign Minister Won Rosenberg made
a long address to the ~reichstag in
which he repeated the oft-heard as
sertion that the French policy contem-
plated absolute paralysis of Germany's
economic life. He rejected the de-
mand Of the German Socialists that a
definite financial offer be made to
France, but he then became rather
more conciliatory and seemed actually
to be extending a hand of peace. "The
peoples of Germany and France" said
he, "have only one choice-either to
live together or go down to ruin to-
gether. If France would a up her
mind to recognize Germany's right to
life and liberty and respect Germany's
territories and rights of sovereignty,
and that her German neighbor does
not dream of wounding Frances sensi-
bilities or sense of honor, then the ice
would be broken. Then might be full
filled the dream of a new era of pros
perity and happiness for Europe from
cooperation of the German and French
peoples"
Baron Won Rosenberg called on the
civilized world to support and on
France to accept the plan suggested
by Secretary of State Hughes, that
an international court of tinanciers
be established to determine what Ger
many has paid in the way of repara-
lions, what she can and shall pay fur
ther, and how the payments can be
accomplished. If this plan We're
adopted, he said, Germany would ask
an international oar and force her in
dustry to give security for it, and thus
obtain immediate cash for the allies.
