MILLION MARKS
FOR $40 IN
BERLIN
Prices Advance Sharply As
Currency Goes to Lowest
Figure Yet.
By S. ID. WEYER.
International News Service.

BERLIN, June 14.-More than
1000, 900 German marks could be
purchased today with an American
SO bill. The increase in the value
Of the dollar and the fresh plunge
of the mark has created another
mad rise in prices of goods, espe-
cially foodstuffs.
1t costs $4,000 marks to buy a
pound Of butter, but oleomargarine
is slightly less. Eggs cost 1000
marks apiece. Price of bread is
about to be raised % per cent and
flour in proportion. Price of coal
has been raised So per cent owing
to the difficulty in obtaining fuel
since the French seized the Ger
man coal fields.
An ironic feature of the situation
is that despite strengent government
prohibition to regulate prices the
dollar Is fast becoming the unit
governing trade.
There is strong movement on
the part of labor for payment of
wages according to the value of
the dollar.
Transient foreigners are raiding
stores, buying up everything in
sight, especially luxury goods. How
ever, prices rose to such heights
overnight, in some cases being
tripled, that the foreigners found
they could purchase most things
cheaper and better in America or
elsewhere.
The cost of collins in Germany
has risen beyond the reach Of an
average man. In view of this
tragic circumstance the government
has issued a decree permitting the
use of paper card board and plaster
folders" Undertakes are doing a
furnishing business lending collins
in which corpses may be placed un-
til interment.

WOMAN VALUES
BROKEN TOOTH.
At $4,000.
Sues Dentist Who She Alleges
Was Negligent in
Treatment.

NEW YORK, June 14.-The loss
Of perfect tooth" was valued
at $4,000 in a damage suit filed
yesterday in the Supreme Court.
Mrs. Evelyn Ehrlich, who filed
the action against DR.. james F.
Hasbrouck, dentist, claimed that
her good tooth was broken while
another was being removed. The
smashing Of the perfect TOOTH"
she said, caused her severe pain,
and she also suffered a nervous
shock which obliged her to undergo
other dental and medical treat
ment.
The dentist denied any guilt md
suggested that blame for, the broken
tooth might be due to Mrs Ehr-
lich's own agents or employees in
whose care she was.

Saloons Of New York
Now On Floors
Above Shops

NEW YORK, June H..
Times Square today seems de-
serted by the cafes, where
lights blazed far and bright
into the night and where white
jacketed experts shook icy
drinks for just the right length
of time.
Clothing stores have taken up
the space the saloons occupied
but the saloons haven't all
gone.
They have simply moved up
stairs.
On the second, third or
fourth floor in many a house
you can get drinks cheaper than
downstairs.
While the drygoods shops in
crease downstairs, the wet
goods shops increase upstairs.
The clothing business hasn't
driven the saloon out of bust
ness; in most cases they merely
changed places.

CONGRESS
To PASS

Presidents Brother in : Law
Would Put $500 Prisoners
at Trades.
By A. o. HAYWARD,

COrECSpOuQOHbs
Congress is going to be asked
TO put the $500 prisoners now
held in the Atlanta, Leavens-
worth and McNiel Island Federal
penitentiaries to work at gainful
occupations.
Heber Votaw, superintendent OF
Federal prisons, and brother-in-
law of President Harding, is now
working out a program for sub
mission to the next Congress,
which will recommend the class
and character of prison work, to-
gether with cost estimates on
plants and machinery.
will Offer Program.
The program, it was announced
today, will be presented to spe-
cial joint congressional committee
Of which Congressman Graham
Rep) Of Pennsylvania, is chairman.
Work for all the prisoners at the
Federal penitentiaries was urged by
Votaw as an adjunct to discipline,
in the formation of good habits,
and as a training for usefulness
after the prison term had ended.
Chairman Graham said his COM
mittee concurred in this view.
Votaw suggested as most desir-
able, shoe factories at Leavenworth,
Kans., and McNeal Island, San
Francisco, to give employment 70
the 2,519 men at the former institu.
ton and the 502 men at the latter.
He said that the 100000 pairs of
shoes needed for the army and navy
could be made at these two insti-
tutions. He favored extension Of
the textile plant at Atlanta, Ca,
denim could be made for army and
navy use and Government hospitals.
Canvas is now made there for use
by the navy and the Postoffice
Department.
Prisoners Earn Wages.
Men employed at the penitentiar-
les receive from $2.25 to $2.75
week. They are required to send
some Of their earnings to depend
ants II they have any, or to save
IL for their discharge. Extended
use Of prisoners on farms, urged
by Senator Overman, would not
afford solution of labor problems
at the penitentiaries, Votaw said.
It,was unsafe, he said, to use many
Of the men in the fields.
ct am opposed" he said, ito
manufacture at. the penitentiarfesi Of
anything that goes into the mar
kets. Labor leaders have indicated
they would not oppose manufacture
Of shoes for use Of the army and
navy because the total of 100000
pairs is very small percentage Of
shoes manufactured in this coun.
try. The cost of preparing plants
for shoe manufacture would be
small and the machinery is leased.
Few Now Have Work.
Eat Atlanta less than 700 men
can be given work and many more
solicit employment. At McNeal
Island there is no work except
plant repair, and at Leavenworth a
small proportion of the prisoners
are worked on the farm, in hog
raising and butchering, and in MAX
ing bricks. Many more should be
employed in the interest Of their
health and future careers. Given
the equipment and facilities 1 think
we could do anything at the peni-
tentiar1es, but there are some
things it might not be safe to do
such as the manufacture of mum.

GERMS OF TWO

LONDON, June 14.-Discovery Of

DR.. Thompson, in the report Of
his discovery, admits. however. that
though he is practically certain
that he has found the germs that
scientists have been searching A1r

necessary before 1t is proved that
the germs are allied to measles and

THE germs were somewhat SINH
lar in color, but there was a diff.
ference. They are very minute
diplococci of the gram negative va
riety, measuring about one-third Of
the diameter of the usual diplococci
found in the throat. They are ex-
ceedingly difficult to cultivate arti-
ficially and will only grow in a
special culture media.
Whether these germs are the
actual cause Of measles and scarlet
fever or not, of one thing am
quite certain-namely. that they
have not previously been isolated,
and, furthermore, have little
doubt that they will eventually
prove to be the origin or predis-
posing causes of certain throat
troubles, or they may prove to be
the very important catarrh-prOduc-
ing germs.
But before all this conjecture
can be definitely established It will
be necessary to carry out inocula-
ton experiments with animals and
watch closely the effects of inocu-
lation with pure cultures of these
germs. Then the world will know
