Old German Castles
Becoming Boarding
Houses for Tourists

Heidelberg, Sept. 14.-Some of
the old castles Of Germany have
been brought into practical use
+ this year as summer boarding
houses.
While tourists have not been
particularly numerous in Germany
this season because of disturbed
political and economic conditions,
the idea of living within castle
even for a day appeals to most
travellers. and so medieval dwell
ings for lease next summer for the
housing of paying guests are
greatly in demand.
The idea Of making such use of
castles, of which there are many in
various parts of Germany, appears
to have originated with the Brit
ish holiday fellowships, members
of which organization this year
made their second trip to Germany
since the war.
Leaders of holiday fellowships
hired a castle in the Rhineland,
Braunfels on the Lain. and Mt
Wolfach in the Black Forest for
the season.
The success of the arrangement
is said to have far exceeded ex-
pectations.
The aim of the holiday fellow
ships is to foster good will by So
cial contact. The organization cs-
tablished centers in Scotland,
Wales, Kent, Devon, Germany,
italy and the French and Swiss
Alps.

will be flown in the various races,
there being DeHaviland races, Martin
bombing plane races, pursuit ship
races and races by the naval planes.
There will be eight races altogether.
The Pulitzer trophy race, the biggest
event of the three-day meet, is the con-
test between all the fast ihips of the
army and navy. and will be held on
the third day. 1t was in this race last
year that Lieut.. Russell II. Vaughan.
army pilot, set up new worlds record
for speed, but which has since been
broken.
Talk About Air Line.
The races are to be held at Bridge
ton Field. the st. Louis Municipal
Field. and nothing is being overlooked
by the city to make the annual event a
great SUCCESS. The city of st. Louis
has just spent $15O,OO0 on the field
and it is in excellent condition. The
large airdrome has been equipped TO
take care of the racing planes and Wis
iting planes. The field is being sodded
and roads are being constructed lead
ing to and from it so that a one-way
traffic system can be maintained dur
ing the races. A trolley line has also
been built to the flying field.
The only inconvenience about the
field Major Hiekam said, is that it is
too far from the city of st. Louis
They intend to remedy this, however
it was said, and install another field
on the edge of town for commercial
aviation purposes.
Major Hickam stated that while in
st. Louis recently he attended confer
ences where the problem of establish
ing a commercial air line between st
Louis and Dallas was enthusiastically
discussed. He stated that the business
men Of both cities are behind the move
I ment and expect to put it over. II
this connection Major Hickam brough
San Antonio into the discussion. stat
ing that any commercial air line int
Texas should surely be extended to thi:
city.

of her child for that of a foster-mother
when District Judge E. L. Day gave
Mrs. Mary Kerrigan the custody Of

Judge Day declared he was influ-

\. When the decision was announced,
Doris ran to Mrs. Kerrigan's arms and
then skipped, lightly back to the bench
and thanked the judge.
The mother was not present when
the verdict was announced.
Doris was adopted by Mrs. Kerri-

Berlin, Germany, Sept. 14.-The mu-
nicipal street car lines, driven to bank
ruptcy by the depreciation Of the
mark, have been recognized as a sep
arate corporation under municipal d.
rection and will operate in the future
on a reduced schedule.
Overnight 81 out of 80 car lines
were suppressed and the fares of those
in operation were almost tripled.
The municipality is making last
effort to make the street cars pay
for themselves but the prospects are
not favorable.
This is striking instance of the
gradual decay of organized life in Ger
many.
The immediate reason for the col
lapse of the Berlin street car lines is
the high price of coal, which is now
above the world market quotation,
while the cars serve poor people who
cannot pay high fares.
At meeting last week Of the Ger
man association of street car lines,
small railroads and private railroads,
it was formally charged that the coal
price as fixed by the coal association,
dominated by Hugo SHINES, was ex-
tortionate and that it is driving Ger
man municipal undertakings to ruin.
The association was indignant that the
minister of national economy, though
invited to attend this meeting, was
not present.
Economic Minister Won Raumer,
who is member of the SHINES party,
has been accused in many quarters OF
acting as Shines agent in directing
economic matters in the interest OF
the industrialists.
Others go so far as to assert that
SHINES is fixing the coal price with
the deliberate intention of running the
municipal undertakings so that he can
buy them cheaply later on.
1t is recalled that recently SHINES
gained a dominating influence over
| the association of German municipal

gas works through his virtual mo-

ton to absorb them into his trust.
Whether or not it is true that Stin-
mes is seeking deliberately to bankrupt
municipal undertakings it is certain
that his price policy is actually driv-
ing them into his power.
Before the war German municipal
undertakings were generally successful
and showed net profits.
