RUSH TO WED ON
 AGAIN IN BERLIN,
 AFTER SAD DAYS
MARRIAGE BUREAU REPORTS BIG BUSINESS-THE DOWRY
 SYSTEM RETURNING

BERLIN, Jan. 9.-German marriage bureaus report that their buisness is again blooming.
 1 The disinclination against mar riage, a concommitant of the infla- tion and the credit shortage period, is slowly but surely disappearing. The two biggest marriage bureaus 1 in Berlin told the United Press to- day that they are simply swarmed with orders for first cla~s mar riages."
 The bureau of Baroness von Co., burg, the most noted of these Cupid bargain counters, declared that, nile business had slackened during the credit shortage season in the winter of 1G23-24, folks were now coming ir more than ever before Baroness Coburg's customers" are chiefly from the nobility, but she also deals in first class bourgeois" marriages.
 Although she does not say it, part of the rush of the nobility to wed can be attributed to a desire to get more fluid capital. Noblemen with big estates find themselves short of working funds. They can offer brides "of equal rank" splendid cas- ties as abodes, but they look with envy on the dowry that the noble woman can bring.
 Incidentally, the dowry system is coming back with the return of good times. For awhile after the war folks got married here without dOwries. But now the girl who desires to wed must bring with her 9 certain amount of furniture, clothing and "Bargeld," or cash money. Indeed one paragraph of the German legal code provides that daughter can sue her father for a dowry core spending to his financial situation.

 Besides the marriage bureaus, the columns of the Sunday papers show that marriage is again becoming a popular institution.
 Take the Sunday LokalanZeiger, for instance. There man can pick out blondines and brunnettes from 20 years of age up to "the early six ties" with and without dowries, all of them, however, "sehr Schoen,' meaning very beautiful, and many of them with imposing figures. Y Generally the candidates want to marry for marriages sake, but some of them admit that more material motives lead them to pursue this method of obtaining marriage, which is no more an uncomon way"

 A meeting of about 100 of the most active citizens of St. Croix was held in Christiansted recently, and the St Croix Chamber of Com merce was the result.
 The St. CroiX Tribune calls the organization "the greatest move ment yet launched by the people of this island" and says: Now, for the first time in our history a so- ciety has been organized in the spirit of fraternity, and to be con- ducted along liberal lines. It is a great attempt on the part of our people to help themselves. Almost without exception we have been waiting upon the government to i'm prove our declining condition The government has done nothing and we blame the government for doing nothing But we also have done nothing. In due course of time the people of this community will fully realize, even as they have now be- gun to realize, that they must take the initiative in their own affairs"
 The islanders are seeking markets in the states for toys, fancy needle work and bead work, cigar boxes, cigarette and tobacco boxes, jewel cases and mahogany furniture man. ufactured by the people here.
 The Hawaiian Pineapple company is now negotiating with land owners here with a view to extending their production of pineapples, which has proved profitable as an enterprise in Hawaii and the Philippines, to this island.
 The federal agricultural expert ment station here has developed a standard variety or caaster bens that can be grown here to supply the American market, which se- cures supplies chiefly from India. There are about 50,O0O acres of fertile land on this island alone, of which only about 12,OO0 acres are now occupied.
