Leipzig. “Exceeded in commercial import- ance and population in Germany only by Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, Lelpzig is a living memorial to the value of good roads,” says a bulletin " prom the National Geographic Society at Washington, D. C. “The world has made many paths to Leipzig's door but 'the 1.eipzig philosophy proclaims that good road-work on the paths Keeps the world coming. “Even as herds of buffalo, deer and other anunals came regularly to salt licks, primitive man found that prac- " tically the only need which would take " him out of his own vailey was salt, Halle, also in Saxony, was a source of salt and osme of the earliest Ger- man merchants passed through the tiny Savic fishing village, Lelgzig, on . thelr way to Halle a few miles dis- ~ tant to get salt.

Descendants of ghat early ‘Rotary’ club completed a unton rallroad station in Leipzig in 2918 that has a facade 1000 feet long. “Right now Leipzig is a discourag- ed town. This year it planned a ‘normalcy’ fair. More than 70,000 people attended the fair, but males were weak. ‘Prices too high,’ smid merchants from America, Persia, England, China—merchants from everywhere, So the toymakers from " Nuremberg and Thuringla, who stout- 1y maintain that the children’of the world invariably prefer German toys, went sadly home with scant orders. “The Leipzig fair to the commercial world is an event—to Gérmany a na- #onal crisis. & *“Nevertheless, certain old rellable _ Buyers appeared at the falr this year for the first time since the war and this was the silver lining for Lelpzig.
