THRIFT AND WORK ONLY
 BRING IMPROVEMENT TO
 CURRENCY OF GERMANY

BERLIN, Sept. fl (by Associated Press) All the currency theorists in the world would be unable to give definite, positive, answer to the question when an improvement might be expected in Germany's huge paper circulation, Director Von Glasenapp of the Reichsbank has told the Asso. ciated Press correspondent. The bank statement showed that the paper in circulation July 15 totalled 53,S47, ,00O,- 900 marks. This was a decline of 198,000,00O marks as compared with the previous week.
 We shall certainly do all in our power to prevent further undue in- flation of the currency" he said. "As for Germany, there are only two ways and none other will avail. They are expressable in two wordsworth and thrift. Increased production will ben eft both exchange and exportation. From that and a nationwide return to frugal habits alone is an imprvoe- ment in the paper money situation expectable."

 BE SENT OUT
 BY WIRELESS

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 13 (by As sociated Press) ).-Davy Jones' hardest working little locker-filler is going to be thrown out of job by Uncle Sam when the United States nevy cuts the terror out of fogs around San Francis. co bay. Four government radio com pass stations, new guardians of the Golden Gate, will begin their protec- tive work September 15, according to the Twelfth Naval District here
 These stations are located at Point Reyes, Bird Island, Point Montara and Farallons, off the entrance of San Francisco bay. The Farallons station is the group control station, whose radio call will be '"NPI." Their work will be to give true bearings to yes sels in fog, and thus hold them to their course from the rocks and the shoals.
 Ships desiring bearings will call by wireless the Farallons group control station. The other three stations will intercept the call and Farallons will communicate with the ship directing procedure and forwarding true bear ings at conclusion of the test. The direction is determined by the stations intercepting the wireless messages o1 the ship and determining by the dir .ection of the wireless waves the rela tive position of the ship from each station.
 Each station will wireless the true bearing of the ship from the station and the intersection of these bearings when charted will determine the pre- else position of the ship.
 The service will be given free to al shipping and handled on a wave-lengtt of 800 meters. Calls will not be ans wered on any other wave-length.
 Use should be made of these com pass stations in clear as we'll as foggy weather, for training of personnel anC visible check on accuracy" Lieuten ant-Commander McCaughey requests of all mariners.
 Similar service was. used by the al lies during the war and proved O great value.

Favorites sNlI Return.

The old boys Of the audience who
used to mourn the departure of their
favorites have some comfort in these
days. Their lot Is indeed improved,
although they may lament that Ii Is
still regrettably- inferior to what 1t
used to be- There may be no stock
companies to perform at intervals the
plays they like best; there may be no
actors nowadays with sufficient con-
troll over the affections Of the public
10 risk appearing In any but new
dramas. Yet In spite of these things
the plays Of the past do occasionally
come back.
1t Is not always by the popular
means of the screen that the old works
revisit the glimpses Of the calcium
moon. AT this time\twO of the plays
that used to delight New York audi
ences may after the lapse Of years
still be seen. "The Lottery of Love"
is recalled by the veterans as one Of
the triumphs Of AUGUSTUS DAYS the
atre toward the end of IS career.
Now the play may be seen under an
other name a little further up Broad
way. There have been many farces
since WILLIE COLLIER first acted
Caught In the Rain" but his adj
mirers considered none of them supe-
rior to that piece. II is also TO be
enjoyed now. Other comedies of less
important antecedents are to be seen
t this time, although it seemed un-
likely they would be revived.
Only a few days ago ION and on"
which used to create great hilarity Mt
the Madison Square Theatre, was re-
moved from the New = Nork stage, and
it was not long ago that Checkers
enjoyed second term OF popularity
equal to It's first. Soldiers OF For
tune" Is impending Certainly there
viii be further revivals OF the sue
cesses of the past which the veterans
Of the theatre admired so much that
they are unable to find the same pleas
ure In newer productions.
! These plays return. to be sure, with
difference. They are embelllshed
with tunes. sometimes even with com.
plete musical scores. They serve In.
deed MS the librettos Of comic operas
or ut all events Of musical comedies
Yet they are readily recognizable
They are at least guaranteed to
wnken pleasant "reminiscences They
recall the past with the aid and com.
fort OF music. And what. after all,
ire q few tunes between friends?

A suspicion which hns hsnn growing
slowly I'm tne mlnus or Observers fincs
expression and maybe confirmation
among the wOrkmen in the shoestring
factories Of Massachusetts. The work.
ers find themselves turning out for
the New York trade bootlaces ninety
inches long. These laces are designed
for women's shoes that are ten or
eleven inches high. AS the height of
the shoe has not changed the work
men are asking, us many New York
watchers have been asking. whether
women's ankles are growing larger.
1t is sad to reply In the affirmative,
yet the yardsticks OF the shoelace
manufacturers seem only to bear our
the vision of the layman. The hui
man ankle is growing. at least In one
Of the sexes. Mems ankles are so
modestly concealed that II is hard to
tell what is going on just north of
their oxfords.
If one each Of Colonel HousF's
ethnologists, psychologists and dleti-
clans could be assigned to the subject
of the widening ankle there might
issue fat and alarming report. II
would not take q brisk ethnclogist
long to show why this city, with it's
great immigrant population from the
south Of Europe, needs longer shoe
strings Beef to the heels" used To
he term of reproach In the Anglo.
Saxon countries, but there are races
which naturally have thick ankles aud
millions Of their representatives have
come to America.
But, says the observer, ankles are
growing even among individuals nf
straight American stock. The physl-
ologist doubtless could show the In.
iluence Of athletics in this. Let girl
spend q summer at golf, tennis or
even motoring, wearing low shoes. AMI
is there not an ankle development
which calls for high shoe OF grenter
