each Advertising Club entitled to rep resentation in this convention, and that saidcopy be read by him at the meeting next following its receipt"
 Following out the intent of the res clution, local advertising men in Pa cific Coast cities will make every eff fort to devote some of the paid space of their clients in the newspapers to induce the public to practice Thrift and investment in Government securi ties. A start in this direction has been made already by Frederick s. Nelson, former president of the San Francisco Advertising Club, who, as advertising manager of a large de- partment store, inserts Thrift editor ials regularly in the stores advertis- ing and has offered his complete CO., operation with the Government Saw ings Organization.

so far this year while we have for warded $14,724,019 gold. This latter item is rather sensational since India prefers silver and while it is a posi- tive policy of Great Britain to ship gold to that country it is somewhat surprising that this country is appar- ently following the same policy.
 An analysis of trade with Asia up to April 1 shows imports of $1,O2l,- S51 ,963 for the nine months ending March 30 and exports of $564, 4,137, ,414 or an adverse balance against this country of $457 7,397,376 as compared with an adverse trade balance of $1S6, 6,5O4,S44 for the corresponding period last year. For the calendar year, 1919, we shipped $351 2S,O2O in gold and silver to Asia to pay off this trade balance. On the basis of trade for the first three months of this year these bullion payments this year are likely to be even .arger.-The Finan- cial Review (N. Y.)

DEMAND FOR BULLION
 FROM ASIA INCREASES

Adverse trade balance of this coun- try with Asiatic countries in March amounted to $34, 4,7S0,599, compared with $13,00O,000 in March, 1919. For the nine months ended March 31 this balance was $457,997,976. Detailed April figures-by countries-are not available so far. In March our pur- chases were chiefly with Japan, China and the Straits Settlements and the indicated payments in bullion appear to be larger than for the calendar year ended last December when they amounted to $351 ,S2S,O2O. These two conditions are creating demand for gold and silver so pronounced that current reports of imports and exports of these metals should possess ex- cetional interest. ''
 . The latest raid on the silver market by London bullion dealers is at an end. Prices advanced in the past six days from $1.00A bid to $1.03 bid. Lowest actual bid was $1.00 (May 14) and lowest sale rrice was around S1.011a in New York. :.
 New York dealers report improved conditions in China, that exports from ports in that country are actually moving and that spectators are again on the Hong" side in anticipation of much higher prices. Demand for sil- yer by China may depend to great extent upon present rates on the Shanghai market, the advance in the past 'week having been from 11O to 116 and at Hong Kong from 79R to S41a. Silver stocks at Shanghai are also lower Wheat shipments are be- ing made by India but melting of rupees still continues although the Bombay dealers have recently bought about $2,5O0,0OO silver in the London markets and are said to be in the market now for about $10,00O,0OO sill yer.
 Silver imports into this country from January 1 to May 10 have amounted to $44,7S3,031 (money value) and exports, $72,s9S,915, or a net loss in our silver supplies of $2S,- 115,SS4. It is rather difficult to com pare these figures for corresponding periods in previous years because money value and not ounces are given by the Department of Commerce but the outstanding features this year ap- pears to be the complete elimination of Japan Git has not imported nor export ed silver in this period), the increase in business, both for precious metals and other commodities by China and the substitution of gold for silver in settlements with India. We have con- signed only $223,211 silver to India

ADVERTISING CLUBS WOULD CURB ERA OF
 WILD EXTRAYACANCE

Yosemite, Cal.-In the closing hours of their seventh annual convention here, the several hundred delegates of the Pacific Coast Advertising Clubs Association adopted the following res olution:
 "Whereas, a wave of wild extrava- gance, menacing in scope and volume, is now sweeping our Country, and
 Whereas, the reckless and sense- less spending of the past year, in which more money was expended for luXuries than for necessaries, must presently give place to serious and sy- stematic economy if grave disaster is to be averted, and
 "Whereas, in view of existing con- ditions the United States Government is now conducting nationwide ed ucational work for teaching and pro- noting Thrift among all it's people, to the end that the waste so widely and alarmingly prevalent may be abated and the meaning, privilege and responsibility of American Citizenship be the better understood, discharged and enjoyed, and
 "Whereas, as a safe, simple, con- venient and effective means thereto, as we'll as for popular investment, the Government is now urging the pur- chase of it's Thrift Stamps, War Saw ings Stamps, and Treasury Savings Certificates, and
 Whereas, the Advertising Clubs of the United States have ever been ready and desirious to answer their County's call in the day of its need, be it
 Resolved, that the Association of Advertising Clubs of the Pacific Coast, in convention assembled on this 27th day of May, 1920, do heartily and unanimously approve and endorse the Thrift work of the Government, as herein stated, and as loyal American citizens do pledge themselves to ad- vocate, aid and advance the said work; and be it further

that is good. But pardon me for
taking exception to one of her
opinions in answer to Zillah. be-
lieve the reason q married man
sometimes appears moro especially
friendly to a young woman than
does her unmarried men associates,
is because he better understands
women, and can better and more
quickly recognize merit and char
acter in women. He has no thought
of being tied to his wife's petit
coat for protection. He simply
does not allow the fact that he is
married prevent him from culti-
waiting friendship among those OF
his liking even though they be

CHESTER.
Chester really is amusing.
Many of US will wonder just why
a man, not sentimentally inter
ested in a young woman with
whom he would like to take a
hike, should get all enthusiastic
over the possibilities in the color
of Zillah's hair and "the glitter
in her eye"
If I'm any judge of letters, the
high-spirited girl who signed her

terested in playing understudy to
a wife who is too bored with her
husband to take walks with him.
Possibly had Chester cultivated"
