 ''In the middle of the nineteenth century Duisberg had only 15,000 inhabitans and Ruhrort. 1000. To- day both cities have a population of e7e,0O0. drawn from nearly all parts Of Germany. and many parts of Eu- rope. As the rich Ruhr district is further developed, Duisberg. as the water gateway of the Ruhr district, bids fair to continue to grow.
 Forty per cent of the working population of Duisburg work in the great steel mills of the Duisburg area. Frequently they crowd the city stadium which accommodates 10000 spectators.
 "The opera. and some of Ger many's finest orchestras find en- thusiastic audiences here. Many churches and government buildings, as we'll as the museum, arc adorned with paintings. sculptures or indus trial art works.
 ''The newer portion of Duisburg is laid out with modern thorough fares, in the business districts of which are fine shops. Frequently the streets open into the broad squares where Duisburg has placed statues in honor of local and nation al patriots. Duisburg was the home Of local and national patriots.

DUISBURG ANCIENT

Washington. D. C., May 14 - 'Duisburg, which Is celebrating its eight hundredth anniversary as . city, is Germany's largest river port" Says bulletin from the Washington. D. c. headquarters of the National Geogra phic Society.
 Tn reality. Duisburg is nearly twice 800 years old. There was a village on its site in 430 A. D.. and it was we'll known to the Romans when they occupied the Rhine coun- try many centuries ago. When the city charter was handed to, the Duisbergers in 11.9, the ports com- lished.
 Twenty-Five Miles of Quays "Viewed from Rhine river boat. there is nothing to Duisburg to sug- gest it's age. The traveller looks out upon a maze of shipping. Duisburg and Ruhrort were merged in 1905 and the quays of the two cities. If spread out in a single line along the Rhine. would span twenty-five miles of river bank.
 "A constant stream of boats Is coming and going from the Rhine channel. Iron products, steel, coal. tobacco and textiles move from this port to many parts of the world. while some of the incoming boats bring iron from Spain and Sweden to keep the wheels of Duisberg mills in operation. Meanwhile the Ruhr River, which flows into the Rhine at Duisburg, is filled with vessels and barges. many of which dock at the busy port where their cargoes are transferred to sea-going craft, or conveyed to Duisburg mills.
 Conserve Factory Smoke
 Beyond the quays, lofty smoke stacks rise above huge steel and iron plants, rolling mills, foundries, ma chine shops, chemical works and shipyards, and now and then on the brightest days, the blast furnaces belch a volume of flame and smoke that startles the traveller. A Duis- burger will show him how some of the factories make use of their smoke by extracting gases which help turn the wheels in the mills from which it comes.
