The trade turnover, as shown by
bank clearings outside the specula-
tive centres is much heavier in vol
u,ne than year ago, even after
making due allowance for the in
crease in prices which necessitates
the use of more credit and currency

not indicate that the volume of what
may be called norma business has
been sustained; on the contrary, the
expansion of clearings is the result
O. heavy increases in operations di-
rectly and indirectly connected with
the war, for there undoubtedly has
been severe shrinkage in civilian
trade. As the one grows, the other
withers; that is inevitable because
the productive capacity of the coun-
try is limited and civilian require
ments must be satisfied out of what
remains after the government has
taken the things it needs.

The above rates express the cost of
foreign money in terms Of the Ameri-
can dollar: You buy an English pound
sterling at, say, s4.75as. The intrinsic
parity is $4.S6ss per pound. Thus you
say either that pounds are at a dis
count or that dollars are at premium,
which is owing to the fact that in Eng
land the demand for dollars with which
to settle accounts in this country is
greater than the demand in this coun-
try for pounds with which to settle ac-
counts in England.

The Fight for Control of

Virginia. sent out long letter to the
stockholders yesterday urging them to
contribute 10 cents a share and deposit

1t is not that the civilian demand
is appreciably smaller, though the
development of spirit of thrift un-
doubtedly has tended to curtail need
less consumption, but rather that
supplies cannot be obtained to meet
the demand-a condition that is
likely to become increasingly acute
as stocks of merchandise now on the
shelves and in warehouses dwindle.
"Bradstreet's" outlines the situation
concisely, when it says that with
the sources that provide supplies
virtually, if not actually, under con-
erol, it is useless to look for much in
the way of record trade, which
usually develops at this season of the
year"

An interesting feature of the re-
tail trade situation is that the draft
ing of civilians into military service
does not produce corresponding de-
crease in the civilian demand for
goods. The reason is that the result
ant decrease in the labor supply
inds reflection IN higher wages, and
therefore III increased purchasing
power of those who remain at work,
while the employment Of women on

additional purchasing power. And
any increase in the ability to buy in

Douglas Fairbanks
in "Headin' South"

Douglas Fairbanks, the athlete, and
acrobatic star, will appear at the Re
gent Theater to-day. tomorrow and
Saturday in his newest Aircraft pro-
duction, 'Headin' South" The story
was written by Allan Dwan, chief
director of the Fairbanks studios,
and directed by Arthur Rosson under
the authors supervision. The pic
tUre comes to Harrisburg direct from
initial showings in Philadelphia and
New York, where il has been heralded
as the best work ever done by the
renowned star.
The film was exhibited for the first
time in these cities the first three days
of this week. On Tuesday morning
one of the leading dramatic critics of
Philadelphia, on the North American,
gave the play three stars. 1t is the
custom of this critic to rate produc-
tions according to their merit by one
two or three stars. 1t is unusual that
a production other than one of stu
pendous character should receive the
stamp of three stars. His judgment
was similar to the reviews of the
recognized leading critics of the coun-
try, namely, those of New York City.
where this film was likewise pro-
claimed one of the best of the season
and unquestionably the best in Fair
banks wonderful career. According
to the decisions of these foremost
critics, Harrisburg can expect some
thing of the highest caliber in this
new production.

Atlanta Man Gets Year
in Chain Gang For
Attempted Blackmail

Atlanta Ga, Feb. 2S.-Mrs. Mar
garet Hirsch, accused of an attempt
to blackmail 100000 from Asa G.
Gambler, Atlanta's 76-year-old multi
millionaire mayor, will be placed on
trial here tomorrow. ]. w. Cook,
a local real estate man, indicted
with Mrs. Hirsch was convicted yes
terday of a similar charge and SEN
fenced to serve a year on the chain
gang ana pay fine of $1,000, the
maximum penalty for the offense.
Witnesses for the prosecution in
cluding Mr. Gambler gave testimony
to show Mrs. Hirsch, who Mayor
Gambler said he had met through
her charity work activities, visited
Mr.. Gamblers office ostensibly to
discuss the work. While she was
talking with him in his office Mr..
Gambler said she turned suddenly
and exclaimed that some one was
watching them from the window.
when he went to investigate, he
told the jury. she removed her hat
and Cook entered the door and
said:
"Our honorable mayor. this is
nice"
Later Mr.. Gambler said, Cook de-
CioiC it llNthhtu 10 tell MfS.
Hirsch's husband, II. II. Hirsch, an
insurance man. Forest Adair,
local real estate man, who aided
the mayor in investigating the mat
ter testified that at conference
Mrs. Hirsch asked for 100000 for
herself and $4,000 to pay her hus-
bands debts. Cook who took the
stand in his own behalf denied he
had ever asked for money. He told
of seeing Mrs. Hirsch go to the
mayors office on two occasions and
of watching through the letter slot
in the door. He said he once saw
them in a compromising position.
After sentence was passed Cooks
counsel filed motion for n new
trial and March 16 was set by the
court for a hearing. Cook was sent
back to jail in default of $4,000.
