EOLEX. The world’s most beautiful and accurate wristlet watch. —Advt.
When shall the President of the German Republic send a personal letter of congratulations to a deserving citizen? This question has given considerable concern to the Hindenburg administration, but has finally been settled. It has been decided that whenever a person has served the same concern or the same public authority under civil service for 50 years the president congratulates him but sends no gift. When a couple celebrate their golden, diamond or iron wedding anniversary they receive a personal letter from the Chief Executive, accompanied if the need is apparent, by a gift of 20 marks in the case ot golden weddings and 25 marks in the case of diamond or iron weddings. When a youngster is ushered into a family in which there are already a minimum of seven brothers and sisters the president agrees to become honorary godfather, and in the case of poor families to present the baby with 20 marks.
