Paper Coffins
Berlin’s Reply
To Shor tages
BERLIN, <#*)—It’s paper in
stead of wood or metal coffins for
many German undertakers now.
Wood is so desperately needed for
fuel purposes in the absence of
coal this winter that wooden cof
fins are regarded as unessential
luxuries.
Here’s a copy of a letter from
the Julius Hilgenfeldts funeral
parlor of Wittenberge near Pots
dam to a paper firm on the out

skirts of Berlin which tells its
own story:
“Referring to the recent visit of
ybur representative, I ask you
kindly to inform me as soon as
possible whether you can supply
me immediately with several rolls

with the aid of which coffins can
be pulled up after the ceremony
leaving the corpses below in the
! grave.
Eskimos have words for iron
and copper, but none for metal,
according to the Encyclopaedia

the various colors, but not for
color; for numbers, but none for
number; for Eskimo and some few
neighboring peoples in Canada,
but none for man.
