Berlin, April Amy country want
ing German settlers can have them for
the asking. A wave of emigration I'M
equalled since the eighties of the last
century, is sweep ng over the country.
Figures just issued show that dur
ing the year 1923, 10000. citizens
left Germany with the intention never
to return. Each gear since the arms.
tice the number of these departing
citizens has been. growing until now il
is feared that 1924 will set a record
for all time.
The German quota TO the United
States is full. American consuls say
it could be doubled or trebled if de-
sired. After the United States. Brazil,
Chile, Argentina, and Russia come
next in the favor of the emigrants.
There is talk of getting up whole
colony. complete-30,0 600 for settlement
in the Dutch East Indies. Bilboards

Deep economic reasons lie at the bot.
tom of the movement Germany is
overcrowded-more so since the World
War, when millions of Teukons
strained back into the Reich from Tor
elgn countries and erstwhile provinces,
coded to Poland, France and, Belgium.
Added to this factor of overcrowding
thcie is the factor Of overwork and
under pay notably among the labor
classes. 1t is the working man who
has lost out in Germany in the long
drawn out struggle over depreciation.
Preparations, the Ruhr and the prin-
ciple of the eight-hour day. Sympathe-
tic with him, since the introduction of
high prices contingent on stabiliza-
ton, is the farmer-peasant class.
lt is notable fact that as emigra-
ton increases, the number of countries
open TO immigration decreases. Be-
sides the United States, Canada, Aus
tralia, New Zealand, South Africa and
Russia all have restrictive immigra-
ton laws. About the only nation whose
doors remain wide open are the A.

LARDNER STIRRED BY WATER BILL
Amount of Charge Somewhat Surprising to Him

Well the kiddies kept insisting on a
radio so we had to come acrost with
one for Christmas, and now from
son that wants to get any work done
has to wear ear muffs indoors.
The little ones thought at first that
you could broad cast into the ma
chine as we'll as hear through 1t, so
they spent the most of one day max
ing up a song to sing for the .bene-
fit Of there cousins that is scattered
around in different parts of the coun-
try. The song is as follows:
Yes. we have no patamas, we have
no paiamas tonight.
We've got some night dresses,
We've got some mattresses,
And sheets that are snowy white;
And there's a blanket 50 yellow
For each little fellow,
But yes, we have no pajamas we
have no pajamas tonight.
The above is suppose to be com
ical song, but after you have heard
it 6 or Z times per day for couple
wks. it begins to Paul.
Well one of the few other incidence
which my readers may be in a fever
to hear about is In regards 10 our

my goodness. we must be clean"
says the Mrs.
I says.
Everybody that heard the remark
laughed. Well any way we called
up the water Co. and made a squawk
and they sent a man over to look
at the meter so the man looked at
the meter and took ii all apart and
put it together again and went back
to the Co. and and the Co. called
up and says we can't find nothing
the matter with your meter, but the
man that read the meter made a
mistake.
ct thought So" says the Mrs
Yes" says the water Co., "the
fright amt. of the bill should ought
to of been s1,64300."
Well that is all they is TO tile story
only that we still owe them for
mos. water bill and are libel to keep
on owing them and I suppose they
will come along some Of these days
and shut off the. water but we can
get along for a vile by using
Canadian ale for the bath and to wash
dishes, and for beverage purposes
they's always coffee, tea and milk.

Were it possible for one to wander

Of how the sea nettle reproduces it's
specie is one of the most interesting
in all the books OF science.
An egg, dropped on the floor of the
ocean, is the inception OF most spe-
cies. This egg fastens itself securely
to a large rock or similar marine sor-
nation. and soon produces the trees"
or flowers" described. They even
have tiny roots. like any species of
vegetation. Soon little buds appear
at the ends of the branches and in
due course of time drop off. as the
rosebud or any other flower might.
But soon after these buds drop OF
they swim away as full-fedged young
jellyfishes.
There is another method of repro
duction, however. that is hardly less
remarkable. In this case the egg is
set free in the water, instead OF being
deposited on the bottom. Eventually
1T evolves into a pear-shaped larva.
which swims vigorously about by
means of furry little fins that work
like oars. Finally, the larva, too. fas-
tens itself to a rock, becomes quite
large soon after its period of quiet
begins. and in a little while breaks
up into small disks, which grow to
be giant sea nettles.
These giants thrive by the millions
along the coasts of North America.
Some Of them attain a body diameter
Of seven or eight feet. with tentacles
that measure as much as 100 feet
long. Fishermen call them sea blub-
bers" in the north. In tropical Amer
lean waters similar giants are known
as Portuguese men-o'-war." The
latter are perhaps the most poisonous
of all jellyfishes, and it is believed it
was that kind Of monster that de-
stroyed the Filipino boy.
