New Registration Plan
For German Tourists
Summer tourists in Germany this
season will be able to register them-
selves and look up friends in a
chain of guest registration bureaus
iii railway stations of the larger
cities. under a plan worked out of
the Federal Railways Administra-
tion. The bureau will be uniformly
marked with signs showing an ar.
row within a circle.
Tourists or business men. expect-
ing to meet friends in a. city. can
write their hotel addresses and tele-
phone numbers in a book at the lo-
cal registration bureau for a fee
of about four cents. The books.
however are NOT open to the pub-
Me.
But when friends drift into
town they are permitted to inquire
for a specific person and obtain the
address without. trouble. Officials in
charge of tho bureaus here have been
instructed to assist visitors in find-
ing friends where possible.

Radio. sports and the movies are

no longer the inveterate readers
they used to be.
Librarians in Stuttgart reported
that even a free book delivery with
tom has not increased the city ll-
brnry's book circulation. All a real-
dent, of the city has to do is to write
a card to the library asking for cer-
tain books and they are delivered to
his home in a few hours. Librarians
and book sellers are agreed that the
influx of modern diversions such as
sports. rndio. movies and dancing
are to blame.
