the tendency to bring forth children
has returned to anything like nor-
maley.
The "thoughilcs production" of
children so characteristic of .the
Germans and other European nations
some years ago is gradually disap—
pearing in the opinion of Professor
Heinrich Silborglcit. who contends
that people living in the cities do
not care to have their social activities
handicapped by large families.
This change has come about gradu-
ally. Where the birth rate in the
last decade of the 19th century was
as high as 86 to every thousand ”of
population. it has been reduced to .3,
or even less, due to various circum-
stances and the economic conditions
prevailing in Germany since the end
of the war.
Lectures on hygiene, moving pic-
tures and other propaganda designed
to teach the benefits of rearing
smaller families. avers Prof. Silber-
glelt, have resulted in an increasing
tendency even among the. middle
classes to restrict the number of

children in many cases by one-half.
Uncertainty of the food supply, par-
ticularly in the industrial areas, also
had had much to do with this change.
which is in direct contrast to the
ideas prevailing prior to the world
war, for then the majority of the
German families appeared to plan to
have as many children as possible.
In 1913-14 the average birth rate
in Germany was 26 to every thous-
and of population. This added 800.-
OOU babies 11. year to the empire.
But the rate began to decrease alv
most as soon as hostilities opened,
and during the war the surplus of
deaths. ineltfling those killed in bat—
tle, over the newly born increased
from one in a thousand in 1915 to
ten in every thousand when the
lighting was at its height in 1918.
The first year after the war the
birth rate again began to show an
increase. and it reached its maximum
in 1920 with 26 a thousand. But
the years since have averaged about
23, or less. with the cities month by
month gradually {sling below this
rate.
Professor Siibergleit estimates the
population of Germany today, minus
Upper Silesia. and other territory lost
as an outcome of the war. at 63,-
000.000.
Mark’s Only Value is
in Buying Dollars
DUSSELDORF. Feb. L—Intrinsic-
ally the paper mark. has long out-
stripped the Russian ruble in worth-
lessness. but unlike its brother in ad-
veraity. the mark still serves as an
excellent decoy for the capture of
dollars and other stable currency.
Despite the present tendency of
the mark to maintain a fairly steady
quotation in the money market. it
is the chic: business 01' ever-st man.
woman and child to possess as few
paper marks as possible at the end
of the day. W'hen the bank clerk
gets hi salary he goes to the near-
est b and buys dollars. When
the merchant sells an article of mer-
chandise for paper marks he sends a
messenger to procure the equivalent
in dollars. The bank, in turn, sells
its marks to people who figure they
can save a little by paying their bills
in paper marks instead ,of tore'ign
money.
After thus decaying dollars for
dozens of people during the business
day, the mark goes to bed at night
despised by all whom it has served.
and the man who has many marks
lolt at night usually has a restless
sleep.
