Show Contradiction in Berlin. Fats, oils, clothes, milk for babies and other necessities are scarce In Berlin, and so high-priced that the poorer people can hardly afford them at all ; yet the shop windows along Unter den Linden are full of beautiful goods. Housing conditions pinch despite the fact that Berlin and other cities have less population than before the war. Every candy store window in Berlin has a crowd before it all day long. Adults, as well as children, stand and stare at the displays of sweets. Movies most of them immoral are always crowded. Twelve new moving picture houses are to be erected. The most popular firms are those "on the ragged edge." Theaters are crowded, and so is the opera, as a rule. |
