High Building Costs
Deter German Lovers
Berlin, Aug. 7.?"Feathering one's
nest" is a formidable proposition for
the young German of today who contemplates
matrimony. Furniture and
building costs have risen tj such
heights and wages relatively have
sunk to such depths that the strains of
wedding marches fail to have much of
a siren appeal for either "Hans" or
"Gretchen."
Tradition has long decreed lhat the
young man in Germany is expected
to provide a house for his bride-to-be
before marriage. The latter, for her
part, should mpprodch the altpr with
a uowi^ sufficient to furnish her'hew
horn? with everything from broom to
bedstead. Silverware and special
comforts for the household ordinarily
are contributed by relatives or by
guests attending the wedding ceremony.
However, there is little prospect of
a German girl in the middle or lower
classes living up to this custom today.
Depending on earnings of a
few hundred marks a week, she finds
little to save up for her dowry. On
the other hand, the man of her choice
?despairing in his search for a place
to rent?is forced to consider breach
of promise when confronted w.th

ciding to erect a brand new home for
his bride, he finds the prices of'building
materials are more than 81 times
what they were before the war.
It cost 1,584.50 marks on July 1,
1914 to build a ono s'ory cottage covering
70 square meters. On June 1
this year, building circles claim, erection
of such a dwelling entailed an
expenditure of 129,290 marks. The
cost rose 13.8 pex-cent in May alone.
The stone required for a house of
'this sort in the summer of 1914 cost
700 marks, while now it demands an

Issue Report on
Chinese-Portuguese Clash
Shanghai, July 3.?(By the Associt.ced
Press).?In a formal statement
issued by the Portuguese government
of Macao a report is present^d_
of the recent conflict between Chinese"
arid Portuguese forces, which f
for two days gave promise of resulting
in open warfare.
The government's statement asserts
the disturbance developed on
May 28 when an African soldier of;
the Mozambique Expeditionary Force
was assaulted after having an alter-'
cation with several Chinese. The sol-'
dier, the report s.?js, was so badly in-!
jured that he was taken to a hospital
tind one of his assailants was arrest- i
cd, being takep to the police station
at Chip-seng.
A mob ihen assembled at the police j
station and attemptedJto storm it the]
report sets forth, to obtain the re-(
lease of the Chinese heid prisoner,
aid it was when the gathering grew
into thousands it was deemed neces- j
snry to send for reinforcements and,
an infantry company was sent to the'
scene.
The Chinese mob fired upon an I (
stoned the infantrymen, according to!
the report, and refusing to disperse \
barricaded the streets near the police
station in the night and called a gen- J
oral strike the following morning,
menacing all who attempted to open
their shops or go to work.
It was made known that the

the mob then prevented stpam {

and drove away those who desired v
to embark for Hongkong. The re- c
port says that at noon on May 29 a r
Portuguese officer who sought to ex- 1
ecute an order at the Macao Steam- f
boat Company's wharf was set upon, ;
disarmed and narrowly escaped be- 1
ing thrown into the sen. While, this
incident was taking place, the report t
says, the mob begun to tiro and an 1
African soldier in the Mozambique i
expeditionary Forres was killed in- r
stantly. It was then that the* troops
fired at the mob killing several and <
wounding others. When the gathering
took flight orders W-tcase firing
were issued.

Buddhist Union
Will Explore Tibet J
t
London, Aug. 7.?Great Britain in- <
tends to make a thorough study of the
little known land of Tibet, where c
devil worship and belief in gh<isis, J
still exist. A mission composed of ;
some of England's ablest cxplovetrs, |
scientists, missionaries and ethn'O- c
logists soon will leave London for the
city of Lhasa, which is buried be-, f
hind the world's greatest raripart of ^
mountains, the Himalayas, between ?
India and China. The mission wdl ^
proceed under the auspices of the International
Buddhist Union, repre- i
seating all schools of Buddhism, in- s
eluding the Buddhist Society of the
United States. ^
The mission will make a closer in-1
vestigation of the Tibetian people,
their customs, religion and language,
than has yet been possible, together
with a study of rare books and manuscripts
known to exist in the monastic ^
libraries. They are expected to prove
of the greatest value, not only to 0
Buddhist scholarship *and to the v
study of comparative religion, but ^
to fill many gaps that at present exist
in the world's knowledge of the ?
early history of a country which to '
the present day is veiled in mystery. 1

strongholds 15,000 feet above the '
level of the sea ;which is 500 feevP

They have always, proved inhospitable ^
to foreigners and to the introduction
of modern ideas. Little is known of .
the origin of the people. Local tradition
has it that the progenitors of c
the race were "a she-devil of the k
Himalayas" and an ape from the ^
plains of Hindustan.
The last foreigner in Tibet was an
American medical missionary, Dr. A.
I . Shelton, of Saa Francisco, who
spent 17 years at Batang, near the j
Chino-Tibetan border. In its form of <
government Tibet is one of the few ,
remaining thcociraeies in the world, i
The people lead a nomadic life. Mon- <
og.iniy, polygamy and polyandry ,
flourish. Und??r the polyandious
system, the eldest son of a family
ntariies a woman and she becomes ;
the common wife of himself and his i
brothers. !
Dr. Shelton found that the Tibetan (
woman usually marries three or four i
brothers, and in one case that came i
under his observation a woman had <
six brothers for husbands. The oldest
brother is considered the father 1
and the other brothers the uncles of
the family. Woman occupies a su- 1
penor position. She is master of 1
