GERMAN HEALTH HURT
BY INITIATION PERIOD
But Decrease in Number of Tuber-
culosis and Rickets Patients
Reported Recently.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
BERLIN, July 20.-That the period
Of initiation was directly responsible
for the retrogression of public health
conditions in Germany was main
tanned by DR.. Schiele. the minister of
the interior In response to query
by the Social Democrats in the Reich
stag. he declared that the marked
improvement of the prevailing condi-
tions Of health noticeable few years
after the war was completely undone
by the initiation period of 1928. Es-
pecially d spread of constitutional dis
ease. like tuberculosis and ricketts,, was
recorded.
The number Of undernourished and
anemic children increased to an
alarming degree as the imitation pro-
gressed. Shortly after the stabiliZa-
ton OF the country's currency, q very
pronounced improvement in general
health conditions became apparent.
The death rate of 1924 and the early
part Of this year has been surprising
" low, lower, in fact. than ever before
in peace times, or, for that matter, IN
any other country. Today the NOR
taiity from tuberculosis in Germany
is lower than ever before.
But for all that, declared DIR.
Schiele. the number Of children with
tuberculosis and ricketts, is far too
great. He described how the govern
ment was striving necessarily to i'm
prove health conditions among tho
children Of the poorer classes by
means of sanitary control and in
struction in the schools but espe-
cially with the aid of numerous eI-
hibitions Of hygiene and demography
throughout the country.

"They must be in the lake" said
Prof. Gathercoal, 1--WE scarcely hope
to see them alive again, but we will
never give UP until this terrible
mystery Is solved" Yet one of the
boys had said: Our plane, though
new, is one Of the now obsolete Curtiss

What TomorrowMeans to You
BY MARY BLAKE.
Leo.

Tomorrow planetary aspects de-
note very favorable conditions, and
indicate a fair measure of success
along any lines Of intelligent and
constructive effort. Speculation and
risk must. however, be eschewed, as
no project that depends on these ele-
ments for enrichment will prove
profitable.
In addition to the encouraging in
1uences that affect all business or
professional endeavors the signs
portend that all social or home func-
tions will run smoothly and prove
entertaining and amusing. 1t is also
a good occasion for travel. or change
of surroundings. 1t is not, however,
auspicious for the formation of new
friendships, or for the collaboration
with new and untried partners.
Children born tomorrow Will be sub
ject to many ailments of a diverse
character during the period of infancy.
In order to enable them 10 attain
healthy maturity. they Will require
very careful alimentation. much vigi-
lance, and a wholesome environment.
Their dispositions will always reveal
some trace of their early illnesses,
In a girl, this may develop, at times,
into a mild form of hysteria. They
will possess keen intellects. and, al
not II 10 IollC POcSA
BILE that the information they assim-
ilate will not be properly digested.
If tomorrow is your birthday, you
have a strong sense Of Justice and
are very fair-minded. and always
willing to listen to all sides OF a case
before rendering a decision or coming
to a conclusion. Your instincts are
both charitable and kind, but you are
a victim of excessive modesty. Re
gardless of your capabilities and these
are patent to every one no matter how
sure you may be of success in any
enterprise or undertaking that YOU
may have in hand, you always fail
to assert yourself or push yourself TO
the foreground. You fear the lime
light and seemingly prefer the
darkened chamber
You need more concentration,
greater ag6ressiveness and Increased
self-confidence, and all these attributes
can be acquired by a consistent effort.
You also need congenial friends, as
your natural reserve or shyness
makes the approach Of others towards
you very difficult.
You have very affectionate
temperament, but here again the
stumbling block to your success makes
you chary of revealing your feelings,
and. as a consequence, you are very
undemonstrative.
Well known persons born on that
date are: Sidney Edgerton, congess-
man and governor; George W. Warren,
organist and composer; Peter Collier,
scientist; Michael A. Corrigan, arch
bishop of New York; Laura de T.
Gordon, lawer and journalist; Julia
Marlowe, actress.

FINE HOMES BUILT ]
BY BOWER-B|RDS.
MarveIS of Architecture Are
Constructed-Love of
Beautiful Shown.

Architecture has been highly de-
veloped by all races of men, but the
bower bird of Australia furnishes the
only example Of the development of
this art among birds. Many species
of birds build beautiful nests for the
reception of their eggs and rearing Of
their young, but in no instances does
their architecture approach the won
derfully constructed playhouseS of the
bower birds. Different species OF
bower birds build different types of
bowers which serve as Fairgrounds In
which the cocks court their mates,
and which are quite distinct from the
nests built later in trees. One spe-
cies builds a little cabin, some 2 feet
high and 3 feet in diameter, usually
at the foot Of a tree with q wide
mossy lawn in front, while others
make a tunnel several feet long com
pletely rooted over with twigs. The
love of the beautiful is always dis
played by these birds in the adorn-
ment Of their playing places. About
the entrance of the bower may be seen
bits of bleached bone, land shells.
pieces OF moss, berries and bright
colored feathers. These remarkable
bowers, when first seen by the Euro

There has been much discussion

OTTAWA, August 16- While proro-

King in a non-committal manner.

for 40 years, was defeated in the cleo

were successful in 40 out Of 40 constit-
eral provincial government, that of

whether or not Parliament shall be
dissolved.
In the meantime Premier King has
retired TO his country home north of
the Dominion capital, where he can
rest and review the situation. His de-
cision with regard TO an election this
year cannot be very long delayed, as
at least As days must elapse between

Parliament already have engaged in

held the middle of October is men

The secretary bird, so called from

feet high. having very long but strong
legs, and is easily mistaken for a
heron or crane. The bird also has
long and very strong wings, but they
are only used when pressed as it pre-

The secretaries are frequently do

many noxious insects, snakes and
other "vermin." The natives Of South
Africa are very partial to this bird
and closely guard its life under pen
preys on small animals, notably
snakes, which it kills with swift
stamp of one of its powerful legs. The
bird seems always to be hungry and
Is not very notional about its food, If
it only be abundant. An eminent nat
uralist once recorded that the stomach
of one of these birds which he had
examined contained II rather large
lizards, II small tortoises, a great
number of insects, mostly entire, and
three snakes as thick as a mans
arm.
The general color Of the adult is a
clear, light gray, with the sides. head
and throat streaked with white. The
wings, lower back, thighs and abdo-
men are black and the legs and feet
