GERMAN HOUSE KEEPING. MIDDLE CLASS STRUGGLES.

THE PLUNGING CLARK,

A correspondent writing to The Time says:-

A few days ago I came back from Germany with a bundle of 50,000 mark notes in my pocket. They were merely the leavings of my German holi day money, but I could have bought my self a new hat with them or stood myself a very good dinner indeed. If I went back again now. I should besitate to offer them as a tip to the porter who carried my bag, for they are worth about a tenth of what they, were then. Simply by let- ting these notes lie for a few weeks I am the poorer by six or seven shillings, What, then, of the Germans themselves, all of whose money is carried in this unstable currency Can they manage to avoid being made poorer all the time?

Before leaving Germany I went to call- on my old friends, the W's, and their case, as I saw it, answers this riddle to some extent and explains how the aver age German midille-class family lives. Old 3. is a lawyer, who retired from practice during the first years of the war, having earned the honorary title of Justitiate and seen his, three children safely started in life.

When

I rang up young W first. the war broke out he was learning to be an architect. He went into the Air Ser fvice, served with distinction as a pilot, and was rewarded by being given a cap tain's commission in the State Police. His reply to my, general inquiry about; the well-being of the family was." first rate." He gets his salary paid quarterly in advance. It is burely enough to live on, but it gives him & little capital to Old play with, which is everything. w's reply, when I saw him later, was less emphatically favourable, but still gathered that. all things considered, life' remained bearable.

ADVANTAGES OF A YEAT.

The W' great asset has been their Hat. as it has been to many middle-class Germany families, It is a very roomy one, and there live in it now, besides Herr and Frau W, a young official and! his wife, a rather mysterious Russian, and an American student of music. The Inst is the pride of Frau W's heart, for she pays in dollars. The fint is run by Frau Wwith the help of a char As renta are kept low, by a Tenants' Protection Act, what is paid by the lodgers more than covers all expenses connected with its upkeep. The old man has had to take up work again, "and every now and then gets a fee for giving legal advice or witnessing an affidavit. These fees are regulated by the official multiplicator, which is fixed weekly, so that, although the marketumbles down and down, Herr W's fees, as n unit! for reckoning in. remain as stable as tho Idollar, or nearly so.

So the two old people manage to rub along. It is harder work than either of them expected to do at their time of life, but they exist. Herr W smokes a pipe. He has had to give up cigars, ex- cept when he gets one from his son. The housekeeping problem is greatly helped by ocensional supplies, which come from their daughter, who has married a well-to-do inamufacturer, and has a small country house with a farm in Pomerania.

There are two factors which enable the middle-class in Germany to live in the present financial confusion. One of these is the index figure, or official multiplica- tor, by which a real value is maintained in wages, prices, and fees of all sorts, whatever the rate of the mark. The second is speculation." When I went to see the Ws for the first time after the war, two years ago, Frau W was' shaking her Head over her children. Her son, and even her daughter, had taken to speculating on the Stock Exchange, They make quite a lot of money, ton." she said, but that did not make the habit scem any less reprehensible to her care- ful mind. However, a year later she wak poring over the Stock Exchange List as eagerly as any of them.

This so-called speculation, aa

matter

of fact, Joses most of its element of un- certainty, even for. a layman, when the currency deprecintes as steadily as the mark. has done. Whenever the mark takes a plunge there is a boom on the stock market, and up go the prices f stocks and shares just as surely as the price of boots or butter, and several de grees more quickly. The average German now puts his spare cash into industrials. just as in normal times he would have put them into a savings bank. When he wants to buy a new auit or go away for the holidays he sells out, and makes an enormous profit-in marka. In reality. he has merely maintained the value of his capital. If he is lucky be has im proved it. for the tremendous demand for ahures, which have a name to them, often gives them an exaggerated value.

WHEN TO CHANGE STERLING.

The same demand for something of real. value to exchange for worthless marks sends up the price of foreign currencies.

This new way combats fl--- that viscous coat you feel. The old ways of brushing never did that effectively.

Film clings to teeth, gets be tween the teeth and stays. It ab- sorbs atzias and, if you leave it, forms the basis of cloudy coats, including tartar. That's why most teeth look dingy.

Film also holds the acid in con- tact with the teeth to cause decay, Germs "breed by millions in it They, with tartar, are the chief cause of growtheȧ.

Most tooth trembles, which few escape, are now traced to that films.
