MSI .JASON SAYS
’ Mark Was Sacrificed, Never
to Return, to Swindle In
ternational Speculators)
He Declares
BY J. W. T. MASON
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—German}
has passed the peak of her domes
tic misfortunes and is on the way
to recovery. The new monetary
' system introduced by the govern
ment to stabilize conditions is hav
ing an immediate effect on prices
and the end of the paper mark as a
speculative instrument has come.
The German experiment with un
sound money has had the effect of
creating very large funds abroad for
the German government. Foreign
speculators in marks have been
fooled by Berlin’s unscrupulous
financial tactics./ It is not unlikely
that a billion dollars in Europe and
America may have been paid for
marks by people who expected to
have castles on the Rhine for a few
cents when the mark returned to
par. The mark will never come
back and the money paid for Ger
« man paper currency has pashed for
ever from foreign purchasers into
the coffers of the German govern
ment.
Transfer of Wealth
The only effect of the reign of
the paper mark in* Germany has
been to transfer German wealth
from one set of Germans to another.
The wealth itself still remains with
in. Germany, ready for use as soon
as a permanent settlement of the
reparations problem makes it safe
< for wealth to show its head. No
permanent harm, therefore, has be
fallen Germany internally from the
mark’s carouse. At most, there has
been temporary misery among a
certain class of the population, while
the German government has taken
. from foreign countries more t han
enough cash to reimburse it for all
the actual cash payments on repa
rations account.
The fall of the Stresemann cabi
net was regarded with dread by
those who believed it would mean
plunging Germany into chaos. In
stead of that, Germany is now
emerging from chaos. There will
baa fairly frequent succession of
* governments to the stresemann min-
istry*, but the new financial policy
now established is not likely to
change, in its essentials, however
many times the Berlin ministry may
be overthrown as an outward con
cession to the hollow powers of the
reichstag. ~ , . „
There can be no further playing
with paper money with any benefit
to the German government. For
eigners, having been burned so bad
ly over paper marks, will not specu
late again with the new currency.
If they were foolish enough to do
. so, there is no question but that
T the synical financiers in charge of
Germany’s monetary policy would
start the printing presses as of old.
and would pass out irredeemable
paper in whatever quantities foreign
speculators desired.
Can’t Play Game Twice
But the Germans have now Ue-
* come persuaded that this game can
r.ob be played twice. Therefore, to
depress the new currency would be
only to continue confusion within
Germany, resulting in no benefit to
the state. Hence, it is to be expect
ed that the present stabilizing policy
will be permanent, no matter what
government changes may* follow.
Stabilization is all Germany needs ,
to keep the country "busy at work.
Even at the height of the inflation
of the mark, German unemployed
• numbered less than one-fourth the
unemployment of Great Britain.
Now that German employers know
where they are on a comparatively
inflexible money basis, unemploy
ment is sure to decrease.
Prices have gtarted to fall, and
the German people are now in a po
sition to await the -winter with equa
nimity. If their own food should
‘ temporarily give out, •the American
government is preparing to grant
Germany food credits, to find a mar
ket for American grain. So, why
should the Germans worry?

THIS MAP GIVES SOME IDEA OF THE COMPARATIVE STRENGTH OF WETS AND DRYS
IN CANADA. Black indicates provinces -where liquor is sold under government regulation. Shaded
spaces are-provinces that are dry now but where referendums probably will be held within the next
year. White spaces mark prohibition strongholds.
Government Control of Li
quor Sale Voted by Five
Provinces and Others Slat
ed to Act Soon
OTTAWA, Ont., Dec. 15.—Trace a
steadily rising curve to a dot labeled
1918, then drop it sharply to another
dot, at 1923, and on the white paper
ahead place a leering question mark.
There you have history of prohibi
tion in Canada.
On the rising slope are wavy ups
and downs representing the varying
successes of the dominion alliance, or
drys, and of the opposition that
fights now as the moderation league.
But none of the waves in the line
has the sudden, violent, jagged ap
pearance of the depression since
1918. This plunge takes one’s breath.
If you place the Canadian graph
now alongside a similar curve for the
United States, there appears a strik
ing paralied. That is, up to 1918.
The eighteenth amendment has
neld the United States to the peak
level cl’ its legislation. Unhampered
by constitutional restriction, follow
ing its fundamental policy of deter
mination by provinces, Canada has
altered the course as local sentiment
wished,
Followed U. S. Lead
But there is no getting away from
the parallel. It insists upon the
question, “Will th© United States
eventually follow Canada in this lat
est turn?”
Canada reflects the American
movement through most of its his
tory.
When Maine went nominally dry
in 1851, the adjoining province ol
New Brunswick followed in four
years with a tentative prohibition
law. It lasted a year.
When the American prohibtlon
party was organized in 1869, it was
followed soon by the dominion alli
ance. And so it continued. Do
minion-wide prohibition wag voted in
1898, but the government never put
it into effect.
“County option,” as provided in
the “Scott act” of J'B7B, was for
years the Canadian national policy
on prohibition. In certain provinces
provision was made for votes by
townships and municipalities. Local
option was especially popular in ths
maritime provinces.
At the beginning of the war On
tario had 68 per cent of its munici
palities dry and Quebec, 75 per cent.
Dry During War
The war eventually brought do
mimon-wide prohibition. It was or
dered by the government, effective
in April, 1918, continued until Jan
uary 1, 1920, and was severely “bone
dry.”
Prohibition by the province as a
unit had been started in 1901 by
Prince Edward Island. Influenced
by the war-time wave of prohibition
sentiment, othei- provinces fell into
line. The landslide included in or
der Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nova
Scotia, Alberta, Ontario, New Bruns
wick and British. Columbia. The fed
eral order brought it in Quebec also.
Dry forces, naturually, fought
against repeal of the war-time order,
but in vain. They did obtain, how
ever. a law which permitted dry
provinces, upon petition, to have the
federal government prohibit ship
ments into their territory.
The dominion government always
has retained control over the manu
facturers of liquors and beer in dry
provinces and export from such
provinces. It permits that business
today.
Old-Time Bar Gone
After the dominion dry order was
revoked, the provinces began rapidly
to jump the fence from the prohibi
tion fold. Quebec inaugurated its
present system of government sale
and licensing in May, 1920. The next
June British Columbia put a simi
lar system into effect by authority
of popular vote. Yukon territory fol
lowed in September.
Tflis year the progress has contin
ued. Manitoba voted for govern
ment sales in June, Alberta in No
vember. A petition is to be pre
sented in Saskatchewan before
C hristmas and a vote is expected in
the spring. Ontario almost certain
ly will vote on the question next
} ear, and the other provinces are
astir.
The old-time open bar has passed
out in Canada. No one agitates it.
Government control is widely pres
ent, however, and growing in popu
larity.
Canada has begun to slip ominous
ly. And the dry army at length is
aroused for desperate battle.

■ Removal of Partition Wall
Gives Clear View of Re
splendent Casket) Called
Unique in Egyptology
LUXOR, Egypt, Dec. 17.—(8y the
Associated Press.) —All preconceived
ideas of Tutenkhamun’s golden shrine
were upset by the sight of his im
pressive coffin, for the first time dis
closed in almost its full proportions
by the removal of the partition wall,
when the correspondent visited the
tomb this morning.
The first impression of this gi
gantic receptacle for the dead, its
sides resplendent with decorations
of blue and gold, set against a back
ground of brightly colored paint
ings on yellow, was almost over
whelming. The feeling was of some
thing incredibly bizarre —something
that seemed utterly to banish the
presence of death in this casket of
wonderful artistry.
One of the first ©details to catch
the eye was the fact that the golden
lid of the canopy does not, as one
imagined from the view obtained
from the opening in the wall, slope
down from one end to the other.
It rises again at the othei* end giv
ing a graceful curved effect which
is declared by competent authority
to be unique in Egyptology. The lid
is not solid but hollowed out, roofing
over a space of about four feet be
tween the first and second shrines.
Like Open Cage Work
Tn this space the correspondent
was able to see—for the doors of the
first shrine had been removed —a
remarkable species of wooden crafr
or molding, to carry the immense
golden spangled linen pall resting
over the second shrine.
It is very like open wooden cage
' work and is painted a glistening I

GOULD SUIT CALLED “WICKED”
BY ATTORNEY FOR EX-SPOUSE
1
Paris Court Sees Millionaire
Painted as Unchivalrous in
Effort to Protect Name
From “Scandal”
PARIS, Dec. 17.—Frank J. Gould
was characterized as “a wicked
American millionaire, lacking in gal
lantry, who is trying to prevent a
poor little dancer from earning an
honest living,” during the hearing of
arguments today in his suit to re
strain his former wife, Edith Kelly
Gould, from using the name of Gould
in theater posters and advertise
ments. The characterization was
made by Maitre Henri Robert, who
is acting as counsel for the former
Mrs. Gould.
“Mr. Gould complains that the case
is causing a scandal,” continued M.
Robert. “The name of Gould is quite
common in America; no one would
ever have connected Edith Kelly
Gould with the plaintiff had not
Gould started the suit himself.”
’ The lawyer added that the plaintiff
j had not considered it “scandalous to
i love this woman and live with her
j for years.” Asking the court to re
ject Mr. Gould’s demands, M. Robert
! urged "don’t cause this poor little
i girl any sorrow, no matter how
| slight?’
Attorney Rosenmarck, appearing
lon behalf of Mr. Gould, drew quite
i another picture of the defendant. Ac
j cording to him, when she left the
millionaire’s domicile after their do
! mestic trouble, she had with her
' $109,000 and “about $500,000 worth
. of furs and jewelry, not to mention
I the innumerable hats of which she
j was in the habit of ordering two or
' three daily.”
; “The poor little dancer,” as she
j had been characterized by her attor
ney, was financing her own shows,
said M. Rosenmarck. He had proof
that she had subscribed $75,000 of
the amount necessary to launch a
musical comedy in a London music
! hall in 1922, and was interested to
’ I the amount of $35,000 in another in
1923.
* He recalled that a divorce had
’ been granted Mr. Gould by the
1 French courts on April 16, 1919, on
! evidence supplied against the wife,
and said the York supreme
t court, on May 3#, last, after study
> ing the evidence produced in the
J French courts, had ruled that the
- husband was entitled to a divorce,
- confirming the French judgment.
r Following the arguments today,
; the presiding magistrate announced
that judgment would be rendered
next Saturday.

j feet. In the front where the re
moval of the doors of the first shrine
renders it clearly visible, it is seen
to be made of two parts, rather
awkwardly bolted together with two
large bolts, probably wooden.' From
the top hangs the ragged edge of
the pall, turned blackish brown by
age, showing where the part which
concealed the doors of the second
shrine had broken away. This part
of the pall, except for a small piece
crumbling on the ground, has al
ready been removed to the nearby
laboratory.
The golden rosettes, about the
size of a half dollar, with which the
pall is abundantly spangled, still
sparkle in the rays of the powerful
arc lights used by the excavators.
These rosettes are certainly metal,
but probably not gold—more likely
gilded copper.
Behind the rack the golden doors
of the second shrine glisten dully,
the two bolts, one above and one be
low, yet sternly guarding the secret
torn!*.
Goddesses Carved on Doors
In the middle set in either battem
of the doors are two metal rings, let
into the wood side by side, to which
were attached seals, which Howard
Carter, directing the excavating
work, had previously removed.
• The doors are engraved with ex
quisitely chiselled figures of god
desses in the attitude of prayer
while above them is the projecting
golden lintel of thesecond shrine
which is about seven feet high.
What impresses one more than
anything else in the intriguing, fes
tive air of this resplendent sepul
cher are the interior decorations of
the walls of the shrine. These are
chiefly golden, inscribed with end
less lines of hieroglyphics with fig
ures of- birds, flowers and animals
set in a triple frame of broad, black
lines. TJyis contrast of deep black
and old gold recalls the art of old
China or the decorative effect
i achieved by modern designers in
I boudoirs with golden, ceilings and
I black walls.;

MODE® ISSUE
THREATENS TO 1
EPISCOPAL CHURCH
I.
NEW YORK, Dec. 17.—An issue
has been raised between the modern
ist and fundamentalist factions of
the Protestant Episcopal church,
which some churchmen believe will
develop into one of the greatest
theological controversies in recent
years.
The storm center is the Rev. Lee
W. Heaton .rector of Trinity church,
Fort Worth, Tex., who, will be tried
for heresy soon after January 1 for
his denial of the virgin birth as a
physical fact.
The Rev. Stuart Tyson, vice' presi
dent of the Modern Churchmen’s
union, has characterized the develop
ment as the most important matter
in the generation. He quotes Bishop
Moore, of Texas, as considering it
the beginning of a edheerted move
ment to cleanse the Episcopal
church of modernism-
Plan Counter Attack
Supporters of Mr. Heaton say the
moderrrfSts will not stop at defense,
but will push a vigorous counter-at
tack to the next general convention
church. Organization of a defense
committee and subscription of a de
fense fund have been undertaken.
Mr. Heaton and Dr. John R. Co
vert, senior warden of his church,
started for Fort Worth last night
after conferring with sympathizers
here during the last week.
Dr. Leighton Parks, rector of St.
Bartholomew’s, during services at
his church yesterday doffed surplice
and stole, symbols of his priesthood,
and announced his rejection of the
recent pastoral letter of the Episco
pal House of Bishops which ad
jured the ministry to stand behind
the “Catholic traditions” of the
church and the Nicene creed.
Scouts Virgin Birth
He challenged both the doctrines
of the virgin birth and the bodily
resurrection and welcomed a trial
for heresy.
“For many years,” Dr. Parks said,
“I have been preaching just what
the bishops condemn and I have
published all these beliefs in a book.
But I should not consider it any
disgrace to be deposed for what I
have said from the pulpit; I should
consider it an honor.”
Bishop Lawrence, of Massachu
setts, is the target of the pastoral
letter, in Dr. Parks’ opinion, but, he
said. Bishop Lawrence has not been
cited for heresy, because to do so,
“would shake this church to its
.foundations. “Instead, Dr. Parks as
serted, “a poor, unknown minister
has been ordered to trial.” He pre
dicted the trial w*ould not take place.
The Rev. Dr. Percy Stickney
Grant, rector of the Church of the
Ascension, w*ho last w*inter engaged
in a controversy with Bishop Man
ning, said in his sermon yesterday:
“There are many in the church,
English and American, who still be
lieve in an authority almost papal
and wish practically to return to
medieval ways. They have little
sympathy with protestantism.”
Youth Facing Trial
As Confessed Slayer
Is Baptized m Jail
COLUMBUS, Ga., Dec. 17.—When
Gervis Bloodworth, 20 years old. goes
on trial tomorrow along with Willie
Jones, 18, for the murder of H. F.
Underwood, medicine salesman, of
Reynolds, in the superior court at
Butler, he will carry with him the
memory of Baptismal services, per
formed in the jail here Sunday aft
ernoon.
The youth previously expressed a
desire to join the church, and Sun
day members of the Columbus Evan
gelistic club, assisted by the Epworth
League of St. Luke Methodist
church, held revival services at the
prison for the inmates, this giving
him a chance to make his assertion.
After the services, the young pris
oner was baptized in the Methodist
faith, but did not become connected
with any particular church.
During the course of the services,
Jones, who is alleged to have made
a confession of shooting the sales
man, was outwardly very much as
fected. A great deal of the time he
was crying. However, the youth did
not make any effort to take advan
tage of the baptismal services.

Sanity Test for
Slayer of Five
NASHVILLE. Tenn., Dec. 17. —A

der of five persons, including his
wife, when th© supreme court or
dered that he be placed under ob
servation at the Middle Tennessee
insane asylum here for a period of
time to determine whether he is in
sane. The edict followed the mo
tion of defense attorneys who allege
that Burchfield is at this time in
sane.
Th© lower court at Johnson City,
Tenn., found the defendant to be
sane at the time of the crime and he
was sentenced to the electric chair.
Jealousy was the alleged motive.

of the day when tobacco was legal
tender in the colonies would have
difficulty in estimating ' the wealth
of the industry fathered by Sir Wal

Authorities of the trade state that
70,000,000,000 cigarettes will have

They were arrested after a chase '

Liberals, highly excited, held the ;

Una, thia year totaled 468,000.000
pounds as compared with 418,000.000
pounds last year. The Georgia crop,
comprising 8,000,000 pounds, brought
an average price of $34 per 100
pounds. The second district pro
duced 100,000,000 pounds, which aver
aged $30.97 to the growers.
In the eastern North Carolina dis
trict, 180,000,000 pounds was grown,
and the old belt yielded an equal
amount. Prices up to a few days
ago averaged $22.03 for eastern
North Carolina, and $20.60 for Vir
ginia, but the additional poundage
grow’n is still coming on the market
in these sections and the price is
dropping slightly.
Georgia growers received tremen
dous encouragement this year. Not
I only was their crop 3,000,090 pounds
I greater than in 1922. but they re- •
I ceived nearly $lO per 100 more for it
I than last year;. Abandoned cotton |
lands were planted to tobacco and j
| yielded splendid returns.
j Manufacturers willingly paid high ,
prices for the product. Growers in
other southeastern states comment
freely on this trend, declaring some
manufacturers are anxious to see
production increase in Georgia since
the co-operative marketing move
ment has not had time to gain the
foothold there it has obtained in Vir
ginia, North and South Carolina and
Kentucky.
In the first three states, co-opera
tive associations marketed about 40
per cent of the 1923 crop, while in
Kentucky almost 85 per cent of the
growers sold their leaf in this man
ner. Recently the Tobacco Growers’
Co-operative association made sev
eral large sales of 1922 redried to
baccos which they have been carry-
' ing for advantageous prices.

only unbecoming, but unnecessary.
Anyone can prepare a simple mix

To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce
of bay rum, a small box of Barbo
Compound and 1-4 ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought
at any drug store at very little cost,
or the druggist will put it up for
you. Apply to the hair twice a
j week until the desired shade is ob-
I tained. This will make a gray-haired
person look twenty years younger,
i It is easy to use, does not color the
scalp, is not stick or greasy and does
not, rub f.—(Advertisement.)
