other to the other wrist and then seal
the knots with wax which has been
provided for the purpose.
With the ring in his hand the per-
former turns his back to the specta-
tors. A few seconds later he turns
about facing them and displays the
ring suspended on the cord All
skeptics are invited to examine the
knots and all are mystified on dis
covering that they have not been tam
pered with.
Two rings are needed, of metal or
wood. They must be exactly alike in
size and appearance. They should
be large enough to pass over the fore
arm. Any kind of cord can be used
but the more substantial it is the bet
ter it will allay suspicion. Some seal
ing wax, a candle and some matches
should be provided in readiness for
the trick. Before appearing for the
performance the magician slips one
of the rings over his forearm under
his sleeve, taking care to keep it in
place so it won't drop down unexpect-
eddy and give him away. After the
other ring and the cord has been tied
and sealed to his wrists, he turns and
with his back to the audience slips
the ring he has exhibited into his
pocket while he works the other down
over him arm and onto the cord.
That's all there is to it but If cleverly
performed it is corking trick for any
amateur entertainment.

LIQUOR is NOW BARRED
ON ALL u. S. VESSELS

Washington, Nov. 13.-How far
the Treasury Department will go in
enforcing its projected prohibition
against the carrying of liquor on
American ships has not been decided
yet by treasury officials, since the
ruling of Attorney General Palmer
that the VoIstead law applies to Am
erican ships in any part of the world
is yet only two or three days old.
The prospect is however, that in a
few days a regulation against the
sale or carrying of liquor on Ameri-
can ships will be issued by the de-
partment, together with instructions
to agents to carry out the letter of
the ruling.
The decision is expected to have a
far-reaching effect, inasmuch as a
great many American ships not under
control of the Shipping Board have
been carrying liquor. The practice
mas Deen 10 keep the liquor sealed
when in American ports and to. break
the seals after the ship has passed
the three-mile limit.
Under the decision of Attorney
General Palmer however, such prac-
tices are illegal and it is possible that
in the future no ship under the Am
erican flag will be permitted to enter
or leave an American port with liquor
aboard if its presence is known to the
prohibition officials.
While the decision even covers
American ships plying between for
eign ports, it is not expected the de-
cision will be enforced that far. 1t
would not be possible to send Ameri-
can prohibition officers to foreign
ports to inspect American ships and
the ship captains are well aware of
that fact.

ton would give rise to sharp dis
cussion in the assembly, for it is
known certain States have given in
dications they would oppose her i'm
mediate entry.
Il 40 not know whether they have
sufficient support to insure the tri-
umph of their viewpoint, but, howev-
er that may be, such a discussion
would not be without danger to the
league itself. Besides, the German
Government does not consider the
league in its present form as perfect.
How, indeed, could it be, since, to
mention only two States, it includes
neither Russia nor the United States
and universally is the condition of
it's existence?
THAT, however, does not mean
that Germany would maintain a re-
served attitude in the event of some
delegation raising the Question of
her admission, and if the assembly
should accept her, Germany would
not decline an invitation resulting
from such a decision"

AN ANCIENT MEDIUM
OF EXCHANGE


At first commercial exchanges were
affected by bartering or trading one
commodity for another. For exam
pie If a man had more wheat than he
needed, he would find someone who
had surplus of salt or other needed
commodity and trade him so much
wheat for so much salt. This of
course was often very inconvenient
and wasteful of time. All business
was seriously handicapped.
At length it became the custom
to use common mediums Of exchange,
representing definite value and uni
versally acceptable. This greatly
facilitated business transactions and
affected material saving OF time in
most exchanges.
Salt, skins, shells, cloth, tobacco.
cattle and various other things have
been used as money at different times
and places. One of the very earliest
forms of money was simply a small
piece of leather bearing a rude pic
ture of COW, an animal much used
in barter. This primitive money was
known as "pecunia", from the Latin
word, pecus"-eow. From this
came the word "peeuniary," which
has long. been IN good standing IN
English dictionaries and widely used
by English speakers, as referring to
finances.

United States TO a number OF nations
all over the world. Following is data
obtained on a few foreign markets fol-
American woods:
Belgium-Southern pine and hard
wood are used In the Brussels consul
lar district to a considerable extent
for construction work, for which
there is a great demand because of
war destruction. Unfavorable ex-
change is, however, limiting purchas-
es and woods of Belgium, France and
Germany are being used now more ex-
tensively than ever before.
Bolivia-Douglas fir has almost a
monopoly of the lumber market in
Bolivia, the larger dimensions being,
perhaps, more in demand. This wood
is widely used for furniture as well
as for structural and mining pur-
poses.
CUBA considerable and increas-
ing market exists in Cuba for pine.
Limited quantities of cypress are us
ed. There is practically no market
for American hardwood, because of
the supply of native hardwoods.
China and Japan-Next after Eng
land, Japan and China export more
fir from the United States than do
any other countries. In 1919 Doug
las fir exports to China were valued
at s1,497,921, to. Japan at s1,045,-
6s1.
Denmark--Hardwo Southern
pine and quantity of Douglas fir for
deckings have been imported into
Denmark for many years. The hard
wood imported is mostly white oak
and poplar, used mainly for furni-
ture.
Turkey-The present should be a
favorable time to make an opening
for all kinds of American lumber in
the Near East as reconstruction on a
large scale is expected as soon as
political conditions permit.

4OoO-YEAR OLD NOTE BOBs UP

Scientists at the University of
Pennsylvania have found among a
number OF ancient caly tablets I'M
earthed in the East a note that has
been running for about 1000 years.
Mr.. II Sinnatum is named as the
lender and Mr.. Bur-Mama as the Dor
rover. The note was given in Octo-
Der. 1862, b. c., the year in which
King Rim-Sin occupied the town OF
Damigilisha, and It was for the sum
OF four shekles and bears interest at
the rate of 40 per cent, payable an
nually.
Four witnesses fixed their seals to
the instrument and thus validated it
although, under the law of that dayr.
they did not make themselves liable
for its payment unless II turned out
that they knew the character of
Bur-Mama to be badwhen they took
oath that it was good
AS nearly as can be estimated, four
shekels at that time were about
equivalent to $500 in the money we
use today. We shouldn't mind col
lecting on The note if it were still
good although we'd hate to calculate
tho exact amount due and perhaps
we wouldn't know what to do with
all the money if we had it. People
now grumble at paying five to ten
per cent interest, but think of poor
Bur-Mama having TO pay 40 per cent.

GERMAN BOAsTER PUNISHED

Having been arrested for entering

uniform, Lieut.. Franz Won Friedrichs,
German naval officer was arrest
ed and carried to army headquarters.
There he protested loudly against his
arrest and shouted that he had per-
sonally fired the torpedoes from a
submarine which had sunk more than
a dozen American vessels. He added
that he would like to have a chance
to do II again. His boasting was
overheard by some soldiers, and as
he Yves leaving the police station they
quickly fixed him for a visit 70 a
