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. I-
Thousands rlsit these templeis

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:

guarding soldiers, as they walk up

Almost any drug store can fill
a prescription. "Does it mat
ter,!' you ask, "where I take this
one to be compounded?"
Some stores regard prescrip
tions as a neglected sideline. In
others, they are the paramount
consideration. - Does it matter?
Some fill few prescriptions, so
stocks deteriorate. Others, with
a larger volume, carry full, fresh
stocks. Does it matter? Those
who do make a business of com
pounding prescriptions see that
each is filled exactly as the Doc
tor directs. Does it matter?

the very delicate pink Anne Van
Scherwin, the scarlet Vivid, Lit
tle Jewell, a pink; Jhe orange
edged scarlet Douglas Tucker. : A
lot of visitors' asked the name of
the little lemon-yellow Gem dah
lia. 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

About Stamps
: By DORIS HAROLD .
Hello, ! Fellow Collectors:?
Those of you who are music
ally inclined ought to be more
than just interested in the many
stamps issued to honor compos
era and musicians. I-have seen
several Tery lovely collections
dealing with music and compos
ers. From time to time I have
mentioned some of them; iQ this
column. j .
In 1929 Germany Issued a set
of . stamps some few of which
dealt with the musical subject,
On their 20 cent stamp was pic
tured Ludwig Ton Beethoven.
He was German by birth and
lived from 1770-1827. One of his
most t famous works :wa his
Ninth Symphony. In his later
years he became deaf, but even
that did not stop him from be
ing one of Germany's 'most fa
mous composers. ; J
:': On the 50 cent stamp of the
same issue- was pictured Johann
Sebastin Bach. Bach was born
at Eeiaenach, Germany in 1685
and died in 1750. He became the
world's greatest composer of or
gan music. f
Greatest of all was Richard
Wagner, who was bora In 1813
at Leipzig, Germany. Later, be
cause of sympathy to the revo
lution , of the period he fled
Into Italy. . '
. t-
In 1933 Germany issued a set
of stamps in honor ef his fa
mous opera'. The operas pictured
on the set were "Tamhauser,"
"Flying Dutchman,": "Rhein
gold," MelstersInger,' "Wai
kyrie," "Selgfried," Tristan and
Isolde." "Lohengrin," j nd Par
sifal." i
Poland's most honored com
poser is Ignace Jan PaderewskL
He has also been active in gov
ernment affairs. In 1919 he was
pictured on a 15 cent stamp.
Still living, Paderewski has just
finished work on the movie,
"Moonlight Sonata" in which he
appears.

Journey's End
Writes From Florence in
Italy; now on Boat for
; r Home Land
By WALLACE SPRAGUE
Florence, Angust 14
We have about three weeks left
in Europe. 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.

There is something, not un
pleasant in the common or snort
variety of sneeze, even though it
may gire rise to a feeling of ap
prehension. I. think many of us
have the -wrong idea of the

in its nature, whereas its nature
is beneficent. It is nature's way

The overwise weather prophet
who postpones his trip because of

a singer. She loved to sing in
the early morn. when, the dew
was, upon the grass and the birds
were twltteringin the trees. She
sang but one song, the one per
taining to a harp and a weeping
willow tree, and she sang it with
great spirit, and little brother
said petulantly that he wished
she ' would hang herself along
with the harp. Which, of course,
was not a very nice thing for
him to say.
There are 800 species of .mo
squitos in Cuba and the canal
tone. After, it was determined
that the bite of mosquitos was
causing, the yellow feTer and
the epidemics carried pretty well
into the lower Mississippi coun
try, too It was necessary to
identify the species. That was
what the government was con
fronted with at the outset of the
campaign to - eradicate -the
scourge "from those regions. The
work was accomplished. Not a
bad thought tor us to entertain
when we are feeling discourage.
