Talk Next Sunday on Booze
Trinidad's Asphalt Lake

The proverb about the folly of build
ing on sand might be written to in
clude the vicinity of the Trinidad as
phalt lake. This remarkable body Of
pitch is perhaps the nearest thing to
the goose which laid the golden egg
that has ever been found, for it has
the o1liging faculty of replacing during
the night the asphalt whieh has been
dug from its surface during the day.
That the replenishment ''comes from
somewhere was graphically illustrat
ed short time ago when house To-
Gated near the edge of the lake be-
gan setting ON one side, not to stop
until the digging of pitch in that vi
ciIity ceased.
The pitch is dug laboriously from the
lake by negroes, using pick and shovel,
and is carried on an overhead trafnway
directly to the waiting ships.-Wide

Avoid Confusion in Transferring

The National City Bank made the
largest payment of any local member,
transferring to the Regional Bank gold
to the extent of s16,000,000 and S5,-
100000 more in currency, making a
total of s21,000,0O0 for its reserves.
To avoid confusion local banks trans
ferred their reserves at stated hours to
the sub-treasury and the Clearing
House. Like the sub-treasury. the new
Regional Bank will have honorary mem
bership in the New York Clearing
House Association and much of its
business for the next two weeks. it is
believed, will be transacted through the
Clearing House.
As result of the system inaugu-
rated to-day approximately S150.000,-
600 20 100000 of reserve moneys
have already been released here. Opera
tion of the new law, which will make
for greater elasticity of credits, has al
ready been foreshadowed by heavy re
tirementS of emergency currency aud
Clearing House certificates. Concurrent
ly there has been also decided relaxation
OF money rates at all important centers.

Masked Women

Upper class Swahill women wear
curious masks, which are made Of
leather and beads in a wooden frame
The mask is derived from the tradi.
tional usage of Moslem women, who
must keep their faces covered in the
presence of men. For several cen
turtles Arab traders have frequented
this East African coast, and to their
influence are due most of the civilized
customs found to-day among the ma,
tives of the district. The clothing worn
by these prosperous danes is of silk .
their shoes are partly of silver, and
they wear much silver jewelry. The
Moslems in Zanzibar, by the way. are
less fanatically strict about religious
usages than their brethren in Morocco
and Turkey.-Wide World Magazine.

started the car, and in a moment the

Dale Malcolm smiled to himself as
he remembered the gypsy's prophecy
concerning the mysterious face in
love.
"No chance of meeting my fate this

solitary dinner at the club where he
made his home. It's stay in little

So spoke Dale Malcolm, but the
fates had willed it otherwise He had
yet to learn that the daughter Of the
Egyptians had mystic knowledge of
events to come.
A week later he pulled down the top
of his desk and went to the street,
where his little car waited at the curb

came to Central park he recollected
that there was new picture In the

went from one collection to another

covered that he was standing before a

He halted the car again and bought

dreaming wistfully of the far countries
from which this woman's ancestors

He awoke from his day dream sud-
denly. A brown. wrinkled hand was
thrust under his nose. and an aged
crone whined to tell his fortune.
Laughingly he crossed her palm with

Suddenly her voice changed to one
