BASED ON AMERICAN DOLLAR
Idea Of standardizing Gold Coinage Of
the World Is Conceded to Be
Perfectly Feasible.

With very slight changes the gold
coinage of all important countries
could be standardized in equivalents
Of the English sovereign and the Ameri-
can So gold piece, and fractions and
multiples thereof and they could be
stamped with their dollar value as
well as with their national currency
value. All gold coins under such an
arrangement could and should be made
legal tender in all the countries joining
the new monetary league. This plan
presents no difficulties. 1t has been
in force in Canada for half a century.
The dominion government can declare
the gold coin of any other country legal
tender at their bullion value as COM
pared with the American gold dollar
and the English sovereign. 1t would be
still simpler with all gold coins based
on the American dollar and multiples
thereof.
Francs, italian lire, Spanish pesetas
and Austrian crowns are close to five
to the American dollar and % to the
pound sterling. Russian rubles are
worth traction more than half dol
lar. The German mark is about equal
to an English shilling, so it would be
a quarter dollar. The Dutch florin is
about 40 cents, which could be easily
adjusted as two france, and the Danish
krone is only a cent more than a quar-
ter Of dollar. The give and take Of
readjustment would be within less than
s per cent of current values expressed
in gold and 1t would create no confu-
sion among ignorant persons to make
the necessary changes.

California Tunosten.

Tungsten deposits in California,
which were discovered in 1913, but
remained practically unknown until
last spring, have recently yielded con-
siderable quantities of this mineral
under the stimulus Of an increased
demand. A representative of the Unit
ed States geological survey, who has
visited the place, finds that the ore
bodies have some remarkable charac-
teristics. This spring q tungsten COM
pany began work. Trails and roads
were built, a mill was erected and
electric power brought In, and since
800 tons Of ore have been crushed
daily. The ore bodies, It is found by
the geological survey, are very un-
usual in their formation. The general
country rock is granite, among which
are scattered deposits Of limestone
which became mlnerallzed at the time
when the granite cooled from its mol
ten condition.

And in return he found that this
seemingly empty eddy into which he
had drifted was teeming with life. He
busted himself with small things, and
found his outlook gradually less
tinged with despair. When he found
himself inclined to rail, he organized
baseball club, and sent down to
everlasting defeat the LInburg's, con-
sisting Of cashboys from Linden &
HOfburg's department store.
He made no further attempt to
avoid Max Wilson. Some day they
would meet face to face. He hoped,
when 1t happened. they two might be
alone; that was ALL Even had he not
been bound by his promise to Sidney,
flight would have been foolish. The
world was small place, and, one way
and another, he had known many
people. Wherever he went, there
would be the same chance. The meet
ing took place early In September,
and under better circumstances than
he could have hoped for.

Ed to come over after dinner. With
the sunset Anna seemed better. She
insisted on coming downstairs, ana
even sat with them on the balcony I'M
til the stars came out, talking of
ChriStine's trOusseau, and, rather fret
fully, of what she would do without
the parlOrs.
"You shall have your own boudoir
upstairs" said Sidney vallantly. "ka-
tie can carry your tray up there. We
are going to make the sewing room
into your private sitting room, and 1
shall nail the machine top down."
This pleased her. When X. insisted
on carrying her upstairs, she went In

HE is so strong, Sidney" she said,
when he had placed her on her bed.
''How can a clerk, bending over led
ger, be so muscular? When l have
callers. will 1t be all right for Katie
to show them upstAirs?"
She dropped asleep before the doc
tor came; and when, at something
house slammed and figure crossed
the street, it was not Ed at all but
the surgeon.
Sidney had been talking rather more
frankly than usual. Lately there had
been a reserve about her. X, listen
ing intently that night, read between
words a story of small prosecutions
and jealOusies. But the girl minimized
them, after her way,
'It's always hard for prObatiOners,"
she said. Il often think Miss Harri-
son is trying my mettle."

"CarlOtta Harrison. And now that
Miss Gregg has said she will accept
me, it's really all over. The other
nurses are wonderful-So kind and so
helpful. I hope 1 shall look we'll in
my cap"
Carlotta Harrison was in Sidney's
hospital! A thousand contingencies
flashed through his mind. Sidney might
grow to like her and bring her to the
house. Sidney might insist on the
thing she always SpOke of-that he
visit the hospital; and he would meet
her, face to face. He could have de-
pended ON a man to keep his secret.
This girl with her sOmber eyes and
her threat to pay him out for what
had happened to her-she meant dan
ger of a sort that no man could fight.
"Soon," said Sidney, through the
warm darkness. 81 shall have cap,
and be always forgetting it and put
ting my hat on over 1.-THE new ones
always do"
It was then that the door across the
street closed. Sidney did not hear
it, but X. bent forward. There was a
part of his brain always automatically
on watch.
Il shall get my Operating-rOom
training, tOO," she went on. "That is
the real romance of the hospital. There
was a lot of excitement today. Dr..
Max Wilson did the Edwardes opera
tion."
The figure across the Street was
lighting a cigarette. Perhaps, after
all
Something tremendously difficult

call it. 1t was the most thrilling thing,

followed KS. Max, cigarette in hand,

ment, his eyes searching the shadowy
balcony.

Those companions of the PaleOlithic

Men have always been hunters of

wearers of skins. Therefore, how can
we expect to change primitive instinct

The answer, which also contains the
reply of Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria
and Turkey, says:
"The high-minded suggestion made
by the President of the United States
of America in order to create basis
for the establishment of lasting
peace has been received and con-
sidered by the Imperial Government in
the friendly spirit which was ex-
pressed in the Presidents cOmmunica-

"The President points out that
which he has at heart and leaves open
the choice Of road.
"To the Imperial Government an
immediate exchange of views seems
to be the most appropriate road in
order to reach the desired result.
"It begs, therefore, in the sense OF
the declaration made on December IL.
which offered hand for peace neg0-
tiations, to propose an immediate meet

THE Imperial Government is also
of the opinion that the great work OF

only after the end of the present strug-
gle of the nations.
ut will, when this moment shall
have come, be ready with pleasure t0

The answer of the Central Powers
concludes with the usual diplomatic
terms of politeness.

Favorites to Appear Again.
This week we are to have the
pleasure of seeing Adelaide and
Hughes, who come from long run
at Keith's Palace Theater in New
York. La petite Adelaide and her
talented partner, Hughes, need no
introduction to Washington. They
have been unquestioned favorites
here for many seasons. They are
presenting an act with four parts
and bringing a company of fifteen
artists, the same that delighted New
York
Adelaide and Hughes will have
ample opportunity to again reveal
their talents in full measure in "The
Birth of the Dance" "The Classic
Of an Age" advertisements" and
THE Garden of the World" The
latter is a piece de resistance. 1t is
an allegorical ballet based on mill

dance have such an opportunity to
surfeit their desire as that offered
by Keith's. AS a climax to the
