NoUt CUrenc Toy, Medford trident, now on tour ol Europe, been giving Mall xrioune rou M anm. nt th lnbereattnir hitch lights of thli trip. The elxth letter it,. uh from Mr. Tot follows: IARLS COURT, 8. W., Sept. 26. (6pl. Correspondence) Altho they an pretty much taken for granted by their Jnhawtanti ana pie of the aurrounding province! th. twm nf Nordllruten. Din- b.i.i...ui T?rtthrthiiref in Bavar ian Germany absolutely peraoniry the thrill and interest of foreign travel for an American tourui. They aren't large, they have little nn commercial Importance, and v, nn-mmriinff scenerv la not par ticularly Impressive, but what does make them unque among all other European cities la the fact that each of them stands tnere xoaay anj ad exactly as it was four and five hundred yeara ago. There are, of course, plenty of old things to be seen in Europe. Mu ..um. feriria c.aitt1a. town halls and so on are scattered all through tne land until tne mem iocs m ui .nnn inM th thrill it had at first. But these three towns put different Ugnt on tne romance age and history., simply because no where else will you find entire towns standing today Identically as they were during the height or their meaeavai spienaor. These are three of the so-called "free cities" of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The same wall, mo nt and battlements that originally withstood Invaders In the days be fore archery became a garden apart are still completely Intact, and no new construction of any consequence baa been permitted inside the walls for oenturlfs. The new part of the towns have all been built outside the walls, so that wandering around the twisting alleys and atreets of the old cities la exactly like getting a, free pass to a Hollywood movie ct, only this Is Bavaria, and every thing Is genuine. Fortunately, neither of the towns has been damaged by the ravages of fire or war, and although a few of the ahops have had piste glass windows installed, and there are new doorways here and there, the entire aspect of each town la simply a full scale model of Hth and lfith cen tury civic culture. The weight of the centuries has sagged a few roofs and leaned a few houses out of plumb, but such marks of age only add to the plc turesqueness of the scene as a whole. The entire wall around each city la still Intact with the original timbers still In support, each of the old tower gateways Is etlll used for the entrances to the towns, the same walls, roofs and floorings are In the houses, the streets and lanes still radiate like spokes in a wheel from the city square to the encircling walls; everything Is there Just as it has been while the centuries have marched past. There art older things and places in Europe than Nordllngen. Dlnkele- buhl end Roth en burg, and perhaps better known places as well, but there 'a nothing that will bring home the sense of historical perspec tlvs like these three fine old Ger man cities whlcb have been trans planted lock, stock and barrel from the Hth to the 20tb centu'.y. Oberammergau Is alao a city or ramer a Tillage of surprises, for de spite the Intensity of Its world-wide publicity, It Is a place of peaceful. quiet, aignmed serenity. During the year of the Passion Play, Its appearance la probably quite different, but now it In simply a beautifully clean and quiet little village, contentedly dozing away in a green and fertile meaoow which Is surrounded on three side by the splendid heights of the Bavarian Alps. The only outward signs of Its renown are the postcard ahops scat tered along the streets. The theater where the Passion Play Is held Is both the largest and the ugliest - building In town, and the only blatantly commercialized structure to be seen, but - fortu nately It ts located in an out of the way corner of the town and hard to find so that It does not Jar on the rural calm of the rest of the village. The religious tone of the place is clearly evident at once. The houses are all good sized and shaded In pastel colors, and nearly all have biblical scenes painted serosa the front. No( amateurishly done either, but clearly the work of skilled craftsmen, The name of the owner, hla profession, and in some cases, his part in the Passion Play are likewise painted on the outside. Even were it not for the play Oberammergau 's setting against the mountains, Its scrupulously clean and tidy homes, the paintings and the pastel shades of all the build ings, and its settled atmosphere of deep contentment make It a place highly worth visiting. Munich la the largest city in Ba varia, and one of the moat Interest ing of the larger cities of Germany to visit. It Is loud, busy and mod ern, but It reflects the wholesome characteristics of the Bavarian peo ple with their honesty, integrity and their hospitality. The three things most worth aeoing In Munich are the Deutsche Mu seum, the Hof Brau house, and the botanical gardens. A tourist never misses any of the three. The Deutsches Museum la probably the finest and most complete museum of the physical sciences In the world. Started In 1006, It has since been enlarged and broadened until It stands as one of the most re markable tributes to German effic iency and thorough new In the country. The Idea behind ths museum was to build an exhibit of the physical sciences whlcb would demonstrate to the scholar, as well as to laymen, the history, development snd pres ent stats of the sciences as com pletely ss posslbls. There srs exhibits, parts, and working models scattered atl through the museum In an Incredible array. From the manufacture of a watch spring to a full scale model of a coal mine, and from a radio tube to a full size submarine. There are nine miles of aisles In the building. and some slide rule shark has fig ured that taking a minute for each exhibit, 48 days would be required to tour the whole show. Astronomy, physics, chemistry, min ing snd metallurgy, machine con struction, transport, building con struction. Industry, agriculture In all of their various phases and de velopments are on., display, and whether you spend one hour or a week looking around, the museum Is of tremendous Interest, The botanical gardens are of course known the world over, and fascinat ing as only an exquisite show of that kind can be. Regardless whether one Is a botanical expert, or un certain whether geraniums come from sprouts, bulbs, or storks, the gardens are breath taking In their beauty and extent. The Hof Brau house la one of the most famous beer gardens In all or Germany. Here Is where Hitler did a good deal of beer drlnJUng and stein throwing during the early years of his campaign, though the actual room where he and hla seven com rades formed the' nazl movement is in another smaller and less Impres sive beer garden further down the street. The Hof Brau is a huge building dating back about three hundred years, and is divided Into three floors, the lower for the working classes, the second for the next higher strata of spenders, and the top floor for those who can afford to pay a mark admission price, as well as the cost 'of the beer. Each one of the floors seats about fifteen hundred beer drinkers, and as each stein of beer holds a liter, the amount of beer consumed during an evening's fun would even make the Deutsches museum siide rule expert scratch his head. , All the customers sit at long tables which run the length of the enormous hall. Take 1500 sturdy German beer drinkers thumping their steins on the table and bab bling away at the tops of their voices, the endless ahuffle of feet of customers coming in and out, and top this off with the blaring notes of a 60 -piece brass band on a bal cony at one end. and you have a bedlam of nolte and confusion that has made the Hof Brau house known throughout the world. Now and then the band breaks Into a well-known German beer song and everyone the length of the tables locks arms with his neighbor, breaks Into song, and the entire line sways aide to side down the room In time to the band and the singing. What a sight. Honest, wholesome, full spir ited, German fun. Loud talk, ueep laughs, ringing songs and the mellow Munich beer at 10 cents a liter. Yes, Munich is a place that should not be missed.
