Far away in the fatneiei of a

the metallic "tweet-tweet" of the

It is now dangerous to whisper the

The doctor gave his impressions

he said. ' Toward noon ot a ongni
sunshiny day the first nightingale was
encountered. His deep sweet song
was distinctly heard at intervals for
over an hour. This demonstrated
the falsity of the current belief that
the bird only sings at night or in the
gloaming.
'During the tramp over the beau

of the specie were heard in full or
partial song until hunger and the
shades of night drove the explorer

Since I last wrote I have been to
Germany and to the fint perform

story of this play portraying the

We had a fine time here. On.

among the guests was On. Feyton
March, ex-chief of staff, who was
formerly stationed in Omaha and
who still remembers his friends
there.

Wherever we went in Germany
we were treated with the utmost

contagious disease that was ravaging
the community. .
. The play should have been given
in 1920, but world conditions and
local sacrifice during the terrible war
caused its postponement.
We but scarcely made our reser
vations and purchased our tickets for
the play until we began to hear wide
ly conflicting stories about Germany,
and of the difficulties that beset the
traveler and the severity of the cus
toms. But our plans were made and
after a few marvelous days in Hol
land we crossed the border and went
to Cologne. We found reservations
here at a premium as the city is oc
cupied by the British, and the prin
cipal hotels are requisitioned.
But we had no trouble visiting the
magnificent cathedral, with its in
tricate spires of stone lace, its ma-
sidcring its size and opportunities.
We saw marks of bullets made dur
ing the revolution and noticed that
all statues of the present kaiser are
removed. We liked Dresden better,
and here we saw the original Sis
tine Madonna, by Rafael, and a fine
museum containing many other fa
mous masterpieces.
We stopped at Nuremberg, which
stands out in th'e memory with its
quaint walled old town, its castle,
the towers, the homes of Albrecht
Durer, the painter, and Hans Sachs,
the latter immortalized in opera" by
Richard Wagner.
We only stopped at Munich one
day, taking a brief glance at its cas
tle, the fine masterpieces of art which
are many there, and at the attractive
city.
Germany Greets the Visitor,
Spring is a lovely season to visit
any country. Trees and shrubs were
ent things, outside of the occupied
territory.
Trices are usually marked, but
when the Auslander is interested, he
learns that that is the old price
and the new price is perhaps double.
Then there is an Auslander tax of
50 per cent of the price, which is
added. Then one must pay an ex
port tax of 100 per cent to take it
out of the country, or if he tries to
smuggle it through it may be cofr
fiscated at the border. Then one
must pay to bring certain things into
France, I understand, and also pay
duty to enter America, and by the
time one has carried his purchase
around and paid everything asked
it isn't as cheap as he thought
it was.
We went into a jewelry store and
a sign behind the counter said in
German the increase on gold ar
tides is 100 per cent, on silver SO

We Invite You to Ride With Us
During Demonstration Week
Our Daytona 6-66 Model holds every stock
chassis speedway record from 5 to 100 miles.
It will be the purpose of Demonstration
Week to prove that any Paige car in the
hands of an unprofessional driver is in
deed Master of the Highway.
By proving itself a marvelously fast car the
6-66 has revealed qualities of endurance
and strength that are beyond dispute.
World's Championship Form is a guarantee
of all-'round efficiency the best guarantee
that the sporting world affords.
But these are facts that we want you to
establish for yourself and Demonstration
Week offers an unrivalled opportunity. You
have but to get in touch with us and we
will book you for a ride that will prove
finally convincing.
Then, with an actual record of the tests,
you will be in position to compare the
Paige 6-66 with any other motor car at
any price on the American market.
Whether you contemplate buying a motor
car or not, we very cordially invite you to
ride with Paige during the coming week.
It will prove a revelation, we believe, and
a liberal education in strictly modern
engineering.

amounted to 170 per cent above the
price marked. At the hotels signs

the castle of I.indenhof, near Ober

tickets had been remarked for the
Germans to 25 marks and the
4-mark tickets to 150 marks for the
Auslander. These were among our
experiences. In a few eases we were
able to buy things at the marked
prices.
Tax Laid On Lavishly.
And yet, most things, even includ
ing the taxes imposed, are still cheap
from one point of view, if anyone
wants to pay someone an enormous
per cent of profit from his. Hut the
great game of "soaking the for
eigner'1 becomes somewhat of a hore
to him after a while, and as some
one has aptly said, "it leaves a bad
taste in his mouth," which does not
react to the credit of Germany.
In Bavaria the police take a hand
in the game one must call person
ally upon the police if he stays any
where in Bavaria 24 hours. If he
stays longer he must pay accord

One German, an arthiiect, said
that the Germans were furious that
foreigners were coming into their
country in such numbers, eating up,
their food while there and buying
many of the bett ihines away from
their own people, things which they
could not replace.
But if Germany does not want the
foreigners could she not cloe her
passport office except for those on
business. Others said Germany
did want the foreigners, as they
brought money into Germany and
stimulated many lines of business.
Some of the autlandcrs said it was
against the terms of the Versailles
treaty to discriminate against for
eignersbut we also heard that Ba
varian police regulations were strict
because of boUheviki.
Whatever the caue, they are
strict. The attitude of Germany for

Buy Cadillac Value!
The great majority believes
that no better car is built.
You cannot buy equal quality
at Cadillac's present low price.
Higher price can give you no
better performance. Lower
price you don't get Cadillac

"f-have driven many cars, high-priced and
low-priced, but I don't know when I have en
joyed driving: a car as much as I have the new
Type 61 Cadillac, unless it was the first time
years ago when I drove the great single
cylinder Cadillac."
