MISS THOMAS FINDS
CONDITIONS VERY
GOOD IN GERMANY

A letter has just been received by
DR.. A o. Thomas. State commits
sioner of education, and Mrs. Thorn
as from their daughter. Kathryn,
who on her trip around the world
has recently visited Egypt, Pales-
tine, the eastern European coun-
tries, spent a month in Prague, and
Is now in Germany.
The letter was written April Is at
Dresden, Germany.
Miss Thomas writes that the moh-
ey in Germany has been very great
ly stabilized, that the one billion
mark note passes as one gold mark.
and that gold mark is four and
one-fifth to the dollar. She writes
that she pays eight marks a day
for room in a quiet hotel in Ores
den. Dinner costs about three
marks. The railroad fare from
Prague to Uetzen by way of Berlin,
requiring about 10 hours continuous
travelling. costs six dollars gold.
Prices are supposed to be higher in
Germany than in Czecho- Slovakia.
She says that the English spoken
at the hotel is the best she has en-
countered in Europe. She asked a
young girl on the train a question
IN German and was answered in
English.
She has not had time to see much
OF the conditions in Germany, but
| her first Impressions are that things
| are more prosperous than in MANY
| other parts of Europe. People look
! well fed. and conditions look much
better. there than in Prague. The
shops in Germany seem wide awake
with good window displays There
are dozens of lovely candy shops in
Dresden.
Miss Thomas expects to complete
her tour and return home this sum-
mer.
