YET TO Be TESTED
Voters Await Effect of New Cur
renoy Measure.
One indisputable Fact Is That tho
Law It supersedes Was Model Leg
islative Enactment and Made
the Country Prosperous.

OF the national banking law, which
historians will say that for so years
1t gave the country better paper
currency than Americans had ever
previously known, and banking sys-
tenn which was model in many
ways. During all the time while it
was in operation not one dollar Of
national bank currency ever caused
the loss of cent to holder.
For years after the Civil war
there was loud denunciation Of the
national bank currency by agitators
of the Greenback party, whose idea
was that the government could make
money at will by putting its stamp on
paper and calling 1t money, and that
this money could be lent at low
rate to the people, making everybody
rich. After full discussion this de-
lusion passed. The historic examples
of the paper currency of the American
Revolution and the French assignats
were recalled to good effect in the de-
bates of those days.
LdIIeTly InG CnleI luQlCJ1nenI OI the
national bank note currency has been
that it was inelastic-that it's volume
bore no fixed relation to the needs of
trade-that when periods of financial
activity occurred it did not expand,
and that it failed to contract when
its volume was far in excess of COM
mercial needs.
The hope of the trainers of the new
law that it will provide a currency
automatically adjusting itself to the
changing requirements of legitimate
business remains to be tested. Those
who hold that the automatic flexibil-
ity desiderated is unattainable-tha
paper issues not dependent upon the
most stringent requirements as to Sc
curity tend to expand, and show re-
luctance to contract-have had their
say, and have been shouted down.
Their seemliest course under existing
circumstances is to avoid the role
of Cassandra and to watch the work
ing of the new system.

Child of a Sheik
Now an Heiress

romance is disclosed in the story
of Miss Tezorano Kardooza. a Syrian
girl who sailed April from New York
on the Belvedere for Trieste, France,
on her way home to Syria.
She came to this country seven
months ago in the steerage, a poor
girl and found work as a domestic in
Pittsburg, Pa. Today she is the heir
ess to nearly quarter of a million
dollars.
The daughter of Ihmet ibn Hashi
Kardooza, a sheik in Bessarabia, Miss
Kardooza's life was uneventful until
two years ago. when her father was
suspected of conspiracy against the
pasha and sent the "silken cord"
which was a polite invitation for him
to Kill himself to save further dis
grace.
Kardooza fled with his daughter to
Palestine. His estate, valued at S150,-
600, was confiscated by the govern
ment \ year later he died, leaving
his daughter a handful of gold coins
which was all he had left of the money
he had provided himself with before
the flight.
The daughter, grief-stricken and
without friends. came here on the
maiden trip of the same ship on which
she sailed today A former member
of her fathers tribe who was in the
rug business in Pittsburgh took her
into his home as a servant. Then the
girls guardian angel began to take a
hand in the game.
a band of Bedouins engaged in bat
of the sheik who had succeeded Miss
Kardooza's father. The sheik was
mortally wounded and before he died
confessed that he had accused Sheik
kardooza of conspiracy to secure his
title and that the latter had been in
nocent Of wrongdoing.
To ease his conscience the diving
sheik left his entire estate, valued
at 100000, to the man he had wrong
ed. The government decided to restore
his estate
Messengers sent to search for the
missing Sheik could find no trace of
him until a sweetheart of Miss Kar
dooza, who had been in correspond-
ence with her and knew of her fathers
death, instituted proceedings on be-
nam OF the girl to secure the confis-
Gated estate and the one left by the
man who had wronged her father. The
SUIT was decided in the girls favor.
Last week Miss Kardooza received
letter telling the glad tidngs and
enclosing check which would enable
her to return to Bessarabia in a stvIe
behtting her wealth and position. She

ever afterward, as the heroes and

To Absorb Freckles
And Other Bleraishes

Every spring numerous inquiries are
made by girls seeking some reliable re-
cipe for removing freckles Last year
very favorable reports were received
from many who had used mercolzed
wax during the freeklng season. The
wax seems to possess unusual proper
ties which completely absorb the freck-
les, with no harmful, effect. The COM
plexion improves wonderfully, becoming
as soft as a rose petal, and as delicately
tinted Gea an ounce of mercoiZed wax
at any druggists, spread a thin layer of
it over the entire face every night for
awhile, washing this off in the morning
For rough, spotty skin, sallowness,
blackheads pimples, and all cutaneous
blemishes, this treatment is superior to
any other.
Springtime also brings wrinkles to
many sensitive skins that are much ex-
posed to winds and changing tempera-
lures. To half pint witch hazel add an
ounce of powdered saxoite, which quick
ly dissolves. Battle the face in this the
effect on a wrinkled skin is remarkable.

NO BRIDGE FROM
ORR|S TO BAILEY IS
LANDS THIS YEAR

Portland, Me, April 6.-There will
be no bridge built from Orrs to Bailey
Island on the way laid out by the
Harpswell selectmen, February 10,
1912, and accepted by the town Of
Harpswell March A, 1912. Justice
George f. Bird of the supreme jul
dicial court decreed that an injunc-
ton should issue against Edward NJ.
Pierce, David II. Doughty and Herbert
f. Wilson, selectmen, and Charles X.
Durgan, treasurer, and their success
ors permanently restraining them
from building a bridge on the way as
laid out
This injunction will prevent the
town of Harpswell from continuing
with the present proceedings to lay
out the bridge. 1t will not, however.
prevent the citizens of that town from
beginning all over again, having an
other way and bridge laid out, accept
ed and built upon.
This injunction comes as the final
decree in bill in equity of Theodore
Billiard ct ais, citizens of Harpswell,
against the officials named in the in
junction, petitioning for an Injunction
on the ground that the proceedings
were not legal ana that the building of
a bridge would injure them and other
citizens of the town. 1t was argued at
the hearing that the building of
bridge was not legal under the pres
ent proceedings because the notice and
description of the way laid out was
faulty in that no bridge was mention
ed and other legal points were also
raised.
Attorney General Scott Wilson, who
acted for the defendant officials OF
the town. stated that he did not know
whether the proponents of the bridge
would appeal to the law court in this
case or at once start proceedings
anew for the building of bridge from
Orr's to Bailey Island. The petition
ers for the injunction were represented
by Emery G. Wilson.
