FOLLOWING MARK TWAIN An Innocent Abroad Mail Trucks in Berlin Have Ads Plastered All Over Them By Neal R. O’Hara Copyright, 1922 (New York Evening World) by Press Publishing Company. Idea for Uncle Sam to Help P. O. Deficit by Selling Space for Three-Sheets . BERLIN, July 20. HIS town is one jump ahead of New York in one respect, at least. Berlin rents advertising space on all its street mail boxes as well as on the side of the horse-drawn mail trucks. You can't dump a postcard into mall without reading about the gold medal that somebody's brand of cocoa And every time the mail wagons go around to pick up letters, they three-sheets boosting Berlin's latest brand of cigarette, Speaking of tobacco brands, they've got a cigar on sale at all stores in m named after Count von Bernstor?f. You remember Bernstorff? The uy that got his walking papers 10 wecks before we declared war? The lid of the box has von Bernie's lithograph, and flanking it on each side are pic- ures of the White House at Washington and the former German embassy ere, too, The cigar sells for 10 marks here, or about two cents in American fe. That puts von Bernstorff in the three-for-a-nickel class. Incidentally, you can get a pretty fair German cigar for three or four mts, American dough. Only the rich can afford them that high. The one nd two-mark notes you get back for change look just like cigar coupons back the States, only the mark notes aren't worth so much. ‘They have cigar stores perched on every corner. ners looks to be like the leading business here. oe, however. Selling weeds to Ber- Drug stores are terribly You don’t find one oftener than every five blocks. Next to joints, money exchanges run second. They'll turn one kind of darby into any other kind you select, and only charge about 5 per cent. for the iprocess. ‘The third most frequent store that bobs up on Berlin streets {s hat for the sale of lottery tickets. that makes ‘em perfectly legal. For a 25-mark chance you're liable to win 1,000,000 marks. But winning first prize would be an awful hardship unless had a big coal bin to store the paper notes. It is under the patronage of the state, so Berlin has the cutest bellhops in the world. They're all youngsters cf twelve or fourteen years of age and wear long-trousered blue suits with gold buttons and braid. Also they carry a smart black-visored cap. They salute on receiving a 10-mark tip. Handsprings and gymnastics fuy 20 marks or over. Somehow, some one got the dope that all Americans steer straight for ham and eggs. Every time a Yank sits down in a beer parlor, or in any kind of cafe, a big bruiser of a walter saunters up and suggests that the ham and eggs are great. The idea ts prevalent that that's our national dish. American's national dish in Berlin \s beer. stein filled up again.

Commencing some time this month, according to current plans, there will be a tax of 200 per cent. for all furnished lodgings given to strangers.
