BABIES BUY HOUSES
New German Scheme Four babies in ten years will buy a house in many parts of Germany. This is the substance of a new scheme inaugurated at Altenhof. Thuringia, to encourage young couples to marry and bear children. At Altenhof newly-mar-ried couples can take possession of a home that will become their absolute property if they produce two babies in the first live years and two more in the next five years. The selected coupled have to pass .1 medical examination that they are “hereditarily healthy and efficient” and their babies must also pass the same test. They will, if accepted, be housed In a special building scheme of single-family homes set amid healthy open-air surroundings. At the end of the first five years, should a couple not have produced the two'approved babies, they will have to leave the house aud make way for another selected couple. The medical test will be to decide that the couples—and later their babies—are free of diseases for which sterilisation has been prescribed by the new Nazi health laws.
