GERMANY Is
CONSOLIDATED
SAYS MINISTER

BERLIN, Feb. 5 (P)-Dre Gustave
Stresemann, Germany's foreign min
lister, believes the German republic
is now consolidated.
The question, republic or mon
archy, hardly plays a part in our
internal politics." he said, in an ex-
elusive Associated Press interview.
Foreigners who think that an
eventual return of the kaiser would
produce in Germany a movement for
restoration of monarchy are
mistaken. The events of the lest
few years have made that impossible" +"
DR.. Stresemann talked rapidly in
excellent English, which he studies
daily With tutor When the word
he wanted would not come, he
would not come, he would throw his
hands into the air like ONE tormented.
though not in despair, and keep at
it until it did come.
He explained how when the new
Germany was born there came a time
of fever and excitement natural in
people who had made such a tre-
mendous effort during the war, and
who tended to hold responsible for
their misery the new form of govern
ment.
He continued:
''All that has passed. Today there
is a man at the head of the republic
who was the paladin of the Hohen-
zollerns-President Won Hindenburg-
whose example in placing himself
at the head of the new Germany
and in making himself the link
between the old and the new has
won over millions to the German
republic.
"The struggle over the form of the
German state is terminated, and only
misunderstanding abroad or eXag-
gerated conceptions of movements in
Germany, which have really no de-
cisive significance, can lead to any
other conclusion
All Germans proverbially love
music, and it was when DR.. Strese-
mann was asked his views on that
subject that he vehemently proclaimed
his detestation of jazz.
Il cannot understand" he said,
show great America can bow down
before jazz or before modern dances
which express neither harmony, of
tone nor grace of body. In Johann
Strauss's Overture of 'Zigeunerbaron'
find more music than in all the
modern dances put together. The
road from Mozart to modern music
is not an ascent but descent

Advocates Change In
Prayer For Children

MEMPHIS, Feb. 5 R)-Beautiful,
but meaningless to the child, says
Mrs. A. Stanley A. Davis, of St. Louis,
of the 'time-honored prayer:
Now I lay me down to sleep,
II pray the Lord my soul to
keep
The child doesn't know the mean
ing of all those words" said Mrs.
Davis, while attending a Sunday
school conference here. "It just sings
them off as fast as it can, thinking
the sooner said the sooner they can
climb into bed"
Teach the child to ask God for
things in the language they use to
their mothers or to other children,
she advised. A. child would not ask
it's mother for something in a rhyme.
Mrs. Davis, mother of three chill
dren, has supervision over 156 children
in the Euclid Baptist church in St.

Punch Drops AS
Big Swedish Drink

STOCKHOLM, Feb. B-Punch is
no longer the Swedish national drink.
In five years the consumption has
shrunk by more than one half and
the doctors say that the punch
pods and "neck wads'' have gone
down in equal proportion.
The reasons assigned by restaurant
keepers and medical men are partly
that the famous sweet liquor now
costs too much, that the younger
generation favors the "svelte" English
or American figure, and to the grow
ing popularity of athletics.
Instead of coffee and punch
diners-out in Stockholm now ask more
for ''coffee and cognac" after meals.
The demand for whiskey also is
showing a decrease.
