How Strange Is Gold i
A 21-Billion City
No More Russian Matches
Gen. Butler Retires
There is comfort In the words, "A
dollar’s worth of gold back of every
dollar, ” but It Is possible to have your
money too valuable. Ask the busi
ness men of Niagara Falla Canadian
dollars are worth only 70 cents in
money, and Canadian cus
' fomere'ars buying
not on the Ameri
can side.
What applies to tourists from Can
ada applies to Importers of all coun
tries that must use their feeble money
to buy our powerful dollars when they
purchase goods here.
Strange Is gold, “yellow and cold,
scorned by the young and loved by the
old, almost within the grave's cold
mold."
First, foreign nations, Including
Swltaerland and Belgium, take away
nearly three hundred millions of our
gold Japan la sending ns $35,000,000
gold. Japan intends to cling to the
gold standard and sends us the gold to
protect “yen exchange against our
dollar."
If you don’t understand that, you
have plenty of company in your lack
of understanding.
If real estate values Impress you,
take off your hat to old Father Knick
erbocker of New Fork city. New
Fork’s real estate for taxation is tenta
tlrely assessed over nineteen billions
two hundred and ninety-six million
dollars, an Increase of more than one
billion one hundred million. That
doesn’t Include personal property or
franchise assessments, which would
bring the total value up to twenty
one billions.
A recent amendment to the army
appropriations act compels the army
to purchase “only articles of the
growth, production or manufacture of
the United States.’’ Hereafter matches
made in Russia will not be bought for
American soldiers, although American
mtae matches may cost more.
With all friendliness for foreign
countries, it Is plain that Uncle Sam
should spend his money In his own

They have become salute conscious.
Somewhere in the city policemen are
saluting every hour of the twenty
four. It’s a good old London custom,
and it may mean a lot to a bobby who
permits an unrecognized citizen in
mufti to pass without clicking the
heels, enlarging the chest, and snap
ping the hand to the helmet. He may
be the boss.
Sir Hugh Turnbull is commissioner
of the city of London police. Recent
ly he passed a young officer directing
traffic at the end of Old Jewry, near
headquarters. Blandly the policeman
waved (lie unrecognized civilian across
the street with what might have been
impatient distaste for his undlgultied
locomotion.

“Constable,” said' the civilian be
tween his teeth, "follcw me."
The constable followed. Op' the car
pet he was suspended froln duty and
told his case would be dealt with at
a disciplinary inquiry. He hadn't
saluted the boss. There were rumors
of other violations, but the failure to
salute brought down the wrath.
London policemen have a lot of
saluting to do In the ordinary way, as
It Is, and regulations free them from
this duty if an outstretched hand U
all that prevents a stream of traffic
from rushing down upon him and the
salutee. But generally he has to keep
both eyes peeled to be sure he misses
nobody. He has to salute the lord

councilors, and ail his superiors from

lation includes Sir Hugh Turnbull.

of most undrllled coppers at home.
It’s a military movement with t dis

Their regulations compel police of
all ranks to salute members of the
royal family, cabinet ministers, the
king’s colors when displayed by troops

Fifty years ago In New York there
lived a small boy, son of Tom Lee,
Chinese, and a Christian woman. He
was a Baptist, nominally, and educated
at New York university. Today, that
boy, under the name of Frank W. Lee,
Is foreign minister of China.
His career recalls an older, more in
teresting Mongolian. Attila, king of the,
Huns. Attila got his Ideas of Chris
tian civilization, such as It was, fifteen
hundred years ago, In the city of Rome,
went back to his native Mongolia, re
turned until to terrify and override Europe,
he died suddenly on the night of
his marriage to a young girl named
Ildico. He is supposed by some to
have been poisoned by her.
Louis Selbold, political writer, says
truly that this is the time. If ever, for
the federal government to control and
regulate the practices of the New York
Stock exchange, particularly in connec

fact, a conspiracy against values. The
gentle art of short selling, establishing
low and discouraging prices, by “floo.
traders” gambling among themselves,
is harmful to the general public and
the stock exchange.

and when that day comes we’ll all of
us be eating more honey than we do

pure, wholesome, and nourishing. It
can safely be given to even young

eningl!S|h of their food.
For the children's lunch box or for or
dinary table service, try making them
honey cookies. They satisfy their nat
ural craving for a bit of something
sweet after the rest of the meal, and
add a considerable amount of nour
ishment. The recipe calls also for

Bones and teeth are largely composed
of calcium (or lime) and phosphorus,
so you can see how important it is for
the growing child to have a sufficient
amount of those minerals. Both of
these minerals are supplied In a good
form In self-rising flour.
Self-rising flour is economical be
cause it requires no additional baking
powder. It is also a great time saver.
There’s the time saying In measuring
and sifting (you sift self-rising flour
only once), and time saving in stirring.
Cookies made with self-rising soft wheat
flour should be put together gently,
quickly, and with a light touch. Too
much stirring and beating will make
any soft wheat product heavy. From
start to finish you can make these self
rising cookies in eight minutes, which
would ordinarily require fifteen to put
together. Every mother who has ever
snatched time out of the air In order
to make a batch of cookies knows that
this is a saving worth while.
The recipe is as follows:

much better If you allow them to chill
thoroughly or stand over night before
cutting.
If have to buy shelled nuts for
the cookies, get the brokeu pieces.
They are just as fresh and good, and
the saving is considerable.
