are so popular in Berlin.

Fortunately or unfortunately some dispute has arisen over this point-the ancient house which soon will no longer be standing near Koesig Strasse has, in the opinion of leading museum and architectur- ai authorities, little or no historical ci artistic value. Its bas relief bends, ornamenting its outside walls under the caves and over the doorway, have been rejected by museums and collectors alike and consequently have fallen victim to the wrecker's axe. In the 18th Century, when this house was built, such beads were supposed to let nene but honest companionable spirits enter the house.

Unsuccessful Attempt. What is probably the German capital's oldest dwelling, said to be more than 400 years old and stand- ing on Petri Strasse, is "slated " to go the same way. The property has been purchased by a large clothing firm which will use the land for the enlargement of its sales quarters. The municipality tied to buy the house in order to preserve it, but was unsuccessful. Despite this setback the city govern- ment did succeed recently in buy- ing an old inn. At the Nuttree,"

The business of casting out evil spirits is not without its drawbacks. Net very long ago it cost three residents of Hungary a quarter of a year in jail apiece. It also cost an aged beggar woman her life, but, sadly enough, subsequent developments showed that her life did not weigh very heavily in the scales of justies.

It had been contended by the city Authorities that the municipality church buildings and therefore the had a property interest in the churches should be required to fly the municipal flag on all days'nten this flag was displayed or flown by municipal buildings. The city government brought suit against the parishes of St. Nikolai and St. Marien to enforce this requirement. The right to fly the church flag over the priory building was made the issue of the case.

It was decided that the muni- cipality had only a limited pro perty interest in this building and that it was used by the church authorities for administrative church purpose, hence it was with- in the province of the prior to select the flag to be flown.

Some days ago a new, mammóth department store was opched in a residential section of Berlin. For wecka preceding the opening the management carried on, an adver tising campaign strongly reminis cent of similar campaigns American cities.
