PAGE SIX Mavaria Wilson Writes About Munich Metropolis of 650,000 Is Found Highly Social, Friendly Place By C. E. WILSON Away down in the southern part of Germany, right next to the Alps mountains lies Bavaria with Mu nich, population 650,000. as the largest city. From Vienna It Is a ride of ser en and a half hours to Munich through a wonderful farming country with lay of land like that around Sublimity and Stayton. Farm houses and farms surely show prosperous conditions.' Et ery house is kept painted, cleaned and thrifty with flojirer boxes in windows and white, curtains in side. All homes have large gar ' dens and even In August gardens anl fields were green. Nor is there any food shortage la Vienna or Munich. Hotels and restaurants serve fine meals. You see, the Germans in Bavaria are good feeders and seem to appre ciate good food. In restaurant windows are - shown generous portions of food "with price for each serving. A mall pot of coffee, bread and but ter and dougt.nuts was priced In one restaurant a big one at 90 pfennigs, equal to about 36 cents in ; German money. You always pay . extra for butter ; except at breakfast. Use German Marks The tourist buys German marks outside of Germany for 24 cents -a mark, which! must be spent In, Germany. This tourist travelersj . check can be cashed anywhere in; Germany, in marks, like any Ger-j man money. . A ! mark is now quot-j ed at about 40 cents in Americas money.' No traveler takes morej than ten marks; in German money j out of Germany. - No attention is paid to your travelers checks go ' ing In or odt. ! . Grand opera is rather expensive in Germany; Prices run from $2.50 to 6.00 a seat. Wagner's opera "Parsifal' began at 5 o' clock in the afternoon and closed at 10:30 o'clock! ' But the Germans are social and like to eat and drink. So after the first act there was a 30 minute In terval and after the second act, 40 minutes. The big restaurant la right in the theatre. In the big central railway sta tion of Munich, there are three dining rooms- first, second and third class, I tried ail; three. Main difference seemed to be that in i the third class room, men eat with their hats on. " Organizations Popular The nazi government cares for that human craving to belong t some organization. Boys of th boy scout age, all equipped fo hiking, are seen in big groups.) And today noon I saw more than 200 girls of high school age, all standing in military formation at the station, waiting to go on a hiking tou-. They wore brown waists- with white collar, dark skirts little below the knee, white stockings and heavy shoes. Each . girl carried a small satchel oi "handepak" attached to a San Brown belt. On the left sleeve was the swastika emblem. Bookstores Jn Munich displaj in windows large maps showing how Czechoslovakia enters righ into the heart of Germany. Als , maps of the world showing pos sessions of England, France, Ttalj and the little of Germany. The : German doesn't take bin refreshments in the American atyle. He sits at a table with his Mavorite Munich beer and witli food. He takes plenty of time as eating and drinking 'is a social af fair. In Munich there Is an active business life. People move and act just like Americans. Of course the tourist travels only the mai streets. , i Xazi Salute Everywhere Everywhere may be seen so fliers and after a while one be comes accustomed to the contin ual salutes. Everywhere is thje nazi salute for it was in Munich that Hitler made bis start in 192$. In one of the principal squarea or open spaces in Mun-:h are twjp temples of honor, with roof sup ported by pillars. Ia the center cif each temple in full views, arte placed - eight iron sarcophagi, oir iron coffins, containing the bod ies of the 16 men who fell in this nasi front of November 8, 1923 At each temple, two soldiers stant at attention.

Fine Floral Show .at the Oregon State Fairgrounds LILLIE L. .MADSEN-' Those of you who have in quiries reaching me during this week and late last week, 1 hope will forgive me for taking one Sunday out to tell about the flowers I saw at the Btate fair. One of my old er I faugl uruio me a weeg ago asking t h a t I tell about "the new flower ar- a n g e m e ats." She wrote that she had attend ed the fair since It first began it rii XAUit U Mda fihrowini flowers and that only 111 health , prevented her from attending this year. I wish she would send me her name and address. I should enjoy dropping her a note. She also tells me 'she has read my garden col umn each week s i n c e I first started writing it.. Perhaps there were others who were unable to attend this year also? : f The center of the agricultural building was, as it has been in the past few years, devoted to the display of " the commercial florists. There were a number of new floral arrangements here, one very lovely one by a local florist in which tall yellow rose buds were standing up from a mass arrangement : of shorter stemmed lavender! asters. White predominated in the commercial floral arrangements. A number of pure white bouquets were used In white containers. A six inch tail colonial figure with a small nosegay arrangement of forget-me-nots and tiny t rose buds at tracted wide attention, I noted. White arrangements on blue mir rors were also duly exclaimed oTer. i;'. V"; ,' There were more tuberous rooted begonias this year than I have noted -in j former years. One thing that rather surprised me was that so! many i people didn't know what these were. On the afternoon ( of Labor day I counted 15 people out of 25 who remarked about them who didn't know what flower this was. All admired them immense ly. Particularly did the visitor admire the gardenia and carna tion shaped begonias. Only; a few thought as highly of the sin gle ones. However, the admirers of the single sorts might have called on another) day. . in the rose display which by the way was unexcuseably small i was particularly interested in the- keeping qualities of those on exhibit. The keeping : quality of the lovely scarlet Mary Hart wasTery noticeable. Yellow Jo anna and Better Times were also remarkably good j keepers. Bet ter Times and Token were the two most admired roses on dis play while I was keeping check. But to me Mary Hart surpassed them all. I saw Mrs. Roosevelt for the first timej I think they could have named a more forcible-looking rose after that very energetic lady. The one on dis play looked-like a cross between a poor Talisman and a Hoover. Also its foliage showed eyery in dication of being subject to mil dew. However, I have to admit it had strong keeping qualities. In spite of its disadvantages, the petals jstood up clear and unwilt ed as T returned time after time. Perhaps the name has given it that one quality, the only point I could see in "its favor. A little pink rose, about the size of the Cecil ? Brunner, drew much attention. - It was a little deeper pink than the Brunner and its petals formed a less com pact bud. It bore the name of Mrs. Finch. . Dahlias formed the largest dis play with- gladioli coming a close second. This is certainly the time of the year to make one's dahlias and gadiolus selections. Pompon dahlias were by far the most, popular with ? the visitors while I was watching. A num ber stopped to admire the "quan tity" bloom but returned to re mark that they would rather grow the smaller sorts. Among the most delightful pompon dahlias w e r e the red Gertrude, the white Joe Fetter: daily, giving the nazi salute to the guarding soldiers, as they walk up iron coffins. i ' j the steps to look down upon the ?

A tiny single dahlia, hot over an inch wide, won a deserved first prize. This was Schilder's Baby and was one of the moat popular flowers 'on display. A slightly larger, but very attrac tive single wine colored one was Single Betty, while Clifton was an attractive deep pink single about two Inches across a very nice size for cut flower. The pompons seemed to keep by far the better. However, the Single Volks Kanza, a beautiful deep colored" dahlia, kept welL It had a yellow center, was ! a very dark red near the center and shaded to a somewhat light er red at the end of the petals. It was. an exceptionally noticeable dahlia. The "Sportsman; didn't deserve its name as it was wilted almost right away. This also was true of the Rhoda. Many lovely gladiolus were on display and among them some of the older ones were , still the prettiest. I saw no better pinks than the Phippa and the Picardy. The Red Phippa was also a hand some sort. An odd, but lovely glad, was Margaret Beatae, white with a red throat. The scarlet, with yellow throat, Beacon, at tracted much admiration. I per sonally liked the pure white Star of Bethlehem very much and also Dr. Hoeg, a deep wine, somewhat resembling a rare old rug. For i those who like the lavender, I saw no better one than Max Reger. I heard many admire Vagabond Prince, a peculiar soft terra cot ta coloring with lighter mark ings. It wasn't the sort that would catch the eye at first but it did rather grow on one. A beautiful frilly pink was New Era. Smiling Maestro was a very god, large, strong salmon-colored one. A beautiful clear red was Valeria. ; One couldn't -but notice how much glads and zinnias, and glads and - chrysanthemums were combined for the Urged bou quets. Dahlias and roses were also used effectively together. I noticed that there were really more mixed bouquets this year than was frequently seen in past years. : . ; . - j I find I have room for a cou ple of answers to cultural que ries: : 1 If heather is layered , now It should be ready to plan out in its permanent place early next summer.-, - r I . .

By , the time this reaches yon It will be near Sep tember 7, the date on which we sail on the Aquitania for New York. We expect to go to Rome tomorrow for a few days, then Paul and I will part company "until we meet in Cherbourg when we sail for home. , , Paul wants to go to Como and Switzerland while I prefer going to Genoa, then over to Nice, Monoco, , and up to Aries and Avignon. I expect to take a train to Tours or Bourges in the Loire country and cycle from there to Cherbourg through the chateau country. If Provence is too hot I'll go there directly. t Now, in Italy, we are traveling by train because of the heat. Our tickets Brenner , Pass, Venice, Florence, Rome, . Genoa or Cam a, all Included, cost us 87.50 each, but shipping our bicycles along is costing us as much. Paul and I started out this week from Innsbruck in J a : thunder shower- and now we . are ending it in a mild heat wave in Flo rence. In between we've had about as Interesting a week as any dur ing the summer. Last Monday, while still in Austria, I had rea son to cycle from Innsbruck 60 miles to Klttbuhel. Tyrol, to call on a faculty member of the Uni versity of Vienna to whom I had a letter of introduction. Tyrol Peaks Beautiful .The trip over was worth the effort. The road followed the Inn river for 60 km before It branched off for the mountains. The scenery was rugged and alpine and won derfully picturesque. Our own mountains are wild enough and often splendid, but they lack the great loftiness and beauty of the Tyrol. The sense of unique beau ty, as to opposed to particular greatness, I got especially when, with my host, I went walking up behind that small town. We looked down on a perfect medieval -scene the high thin spire of the Til lage church rising above a clus ter of close-set gables the whole growing out of a mountain mead ow which was enclosed on every side by the great bulks of the mountains. It was like the descrip tive part of my William Tell brought to life. The scene has changed quickly though. Now we are in Florence but aside from the Duomo and the Ctfitl everything is closed for a holiday of some kind. In conse quence we could only walk around the Pitt palace and some other monuments. That and eat Gelatl. i.e.. Ice cream which is Tery, very good. , Because we couldn't see the In side of anything this afternoon I bought an August' 1 copy of Time for 40 cents and read the first news of America and indeed, Eu rope, that I have seen in four weeks. In France the papers had little more than the king's Tisit; in Germany they jwere placid adulations of (1) Hitler, (2) Hit-' ler's regime; and (3) Hitler and Germany. No news at all. Here I can't even Tead the papers. I lack the knowledge of . Italian. The Time, therefore, was better than a cold Coca-Cola to a hot bicyclist -something never found in Europe.

I am not disposed to criti cize any; plan which has' for a purpose the ! abolishment of war and poverty., But frankly. I am little more sanguine than san guinary, and sanguinary I am not at all. Some day, perhaps, the remedy will be found. It Is all rather discouraging. Again the annual pilgrimage to Lourdes to offer up supplications to the Prince of Peace An bid custom. Is in progress. faithfully per- slated ia through the years. But war and rumors of war continue. Spain has been an Inferno for months and' there, as In China, innocent women and -children are being killed by thousands by the air attacks' of bombers. And all over Europe the airships,- loaded with explosives, are only waiting for the signal to be given. Hitler says in his book there is not room for more than one first claas power in Europe,, and that Germany will he that power or nothing.- France, he asserts, is at the beginning of its end as a nation, but Great Britain holds a different view. Mussolini, ap parently unalarmed by Germany, continues on the -task of accumu lating the power necessary to bring another world-conquering Roman empire into being, and Russia, flaunting! its new uni forms, is wasting po effort to ac complishwhat? j Napoleon said that in another hundred years Europe would either he all French or alfj Russian. The hundred years passed, and Eu rope is far from being all French or all Russian.
