Was Once Famous Port.

Hythe, England, has played promi-
nent part in history since medieval or
modern times in spite of the fact that
few in this country had heard of it.
It is one of the famous and often dis
cussed Cinque ports which, strategical-
Iy situated along the English channel.
had special feudal and political priv
ileges and which today are especially
governed, in name at least, by a lord
warden. These ports were the main
source of supply for warships until
about the year 1900, and upon them
depended In large part the duty of
protecting England from the danger
of continental invasion.

A WELCOME ANNOUNCEMENT

A WELCOME ANNOUNCEhENI
The announcement by the An
napolis Public Utilities Company
OF the big permanent improve
ments about to be inaugurated
here is a most welcome indica-
ton of the solution of the gas
problem, especially as it promises
to come in a way that will touch
civic pride as we'll as tend to sat
isfy the public needs. The mod
ernization of the local gas plant
is the brightest sign of industrial
progress that has appeared on the
municipal horizon for many a
day, and fluctuations are in or
der all around.
Thpse who have followed the
trend Of this movement for bet
ter gas will recall that the pres
ent announcement is in fulfill
ment of the hope expressed by
General Manager Doyle at the
hearing before the Public Service
Commission held in the City
Council Chamber last Fall. Fol-
lowing that session the Company
submitted a set of rules and reg
ulations based on recommenda-
tions made by the U. s. Bureau
of Standards, which had assign
ed its experts for special consid-
Grafton of the local problem.
These proposed regulations were
later given over to the conSidera-
ton of a committee OF citizens APP
pointed to deal with the question.
There the matter has rested ever
since. and it is to be hoped and
expected that whatever is finally
done in the matter will be on the
basis of a definite, constructive
program and not to be lost in the
atmosphere of mere agitation.
Better gas, both as to quality
and service. is what is required
and the surest way to obtain this
is by cooperation between the
consumers and the Company. to
the end that the Public Service
Commission. which@is the one
tribunal constituted by law to
govern such matters. may finally
establish regulations to the best
interests of all concerned and that
will be generally accepted as
such If the present rules now
under consideration do not fully
meet these requirements. ther
definite suggestions are in order
to improve them. or an alterna-
tive set proposed; but all vii
agree that whatever set is adopt
ed an era of better gas for An.
napolis ought to be assured.

Industrial Consumption
of Gold
From the Mining Congress Journal.

The actual sale of gold bars to the trades
during the calendar year, made by the New
York, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Denver
Offices of the United States mint service, totaled
S7o.S37 900. To this amount has been added
s. 100000 to allow for the gold coin used for
manufacturing purposes, thus making tota.
of $50 337 900, an increase OF S27927So0, or So
per cent over the 1918 trade consumption. For
the first time in the history OF the country gold
was exported to Europe for manufacturing pur-
poses. OF the total sales OF gold bars to the
trades during 1919, which amounted to S7o,S57,-
900, Sl4,558,ll9 was exported for manufacturing
purposes. The production of new gold during
1919 as reported by the United States Mint. was
S5S,48S8Oo, an amount which tailed to equal
that consumed by the trades for manufacturing
purposes by $2l, 4S,S00, or I.4 per cent In
1915 $65,2l5,675 was the highest amount pro-
duced i'll excess or that consumed IN the trades
for the past decade, which amount has declined
progressively until, in 1918. the surplus was but
Slo,23o9o0, due entirely to decline IN pro-
duction, since the amounts OF gold consumed
in the trades are practically equal for the years
1916 1917 and 1918 This last year, however,
due to a continued decline in the gold produc-
tion, coupled with still greater increase in the
consumption of gold in the arts, shortage has
occurred for the first time in the history of the
country.
1t is evident that the conditions which pro-
duced the economic pressure which has forced
and will continue to force decline in the gold
output Anl on the Otner nanQ, De III 1aVOr or
an expansion in the ewelry trade and the
volume of gold consumed therein, and that,
therefore, with the same economic conditions
continuing through 1920 the consumption of
gold i'll the arts probably will be more rather
than less than that of 1919. With the same
consumption in the arts, the estimate of $40,-
100000 as the production for 1920 will leave de-
hciency in excess of $4000000O this year.
