Plan to Protect Exchange.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bankers have
agreed unofficially not to sell foreign
exchange unless this step is recon-
mended by the Danish price regulation
committee, it is understood. It is
hoped by this means to reduce impor-
tations of luxuries and thus ameliorate
the adverse exchange situation. 1t is
stated that stocks of flour and coffee
already In hand are considered ample
for the next II months and that it is
unnecessary to purchase goods In
America.

To stow away the contents Of the

Park River.-Members of the Park

she failed to fill her contract and is

board claims that the efficiency of the

Observation-Disclosures are being cir

DECLARE SIZE A HANDICAP
Women Of Generous Proportions Say
Their Fragile Sisters Are Pre-
ferred by the Men.

Suzanne looked fearful. and tears do
not suit Suzanne. You see, she stands
six feet In her silk stockings, wears
seven shoe and seven glove, and isn't
a bit proud Of the fact.
My Amazon had had a big disap-
pointment. says writer In London
Answers. Put In plain words, she had
allowed just little more of her inter-
est than was wise to center round
big Dick Harbury, and Suzanne had
dreamed dreams. Now had come the
news that little fluffy MaIsle. a doll
like girl of barely five feet, was wear-
ing Dicks ring.
Said Suzanne: 1--WE big women
haven't chance. A man always falls
before the tiny woman. Why do men
prefer little women?"
That qnery SET me thinking. Do
men prefer little women to girls of the
Amazon type? Has size any power
when II comes to question Of falling
IN lovei
Undoubtedly women like big men. A
giani catches admiration from the eye
Of any and every woman In his vicin-
ity. Women love power in their men,
and they imagine that the big man
possesses 1t. It's a natural suppositlon,
after all, isn't It? Big men impress.
although they do not always live up to
these first Impressions.
But turn the subject round and
you'll find that there's grain Of truth
In Suzanne's wall.
Little bits Of fun do appeal to the
masculine sex. The wee woman gets
there all the time. A man likes to feel
that he could pick up his girl In his
arms II necessary, carry her miles
without straining his heart, and have
the nice feeling that she needs his pro-
lection.
So you will find the big men carry
Ing off the little women--bIts Of fem
lninity who reach up to their hearts
and what happens to the Amazons?
Nature being contrary-at least, hu-
man nature--ihe little man aspires to
the big woman, and marries her.
like repels. unlike attracts all
along the line, you see. Maybe. But
II doesn't always happen.

Hats for Husbands Only.

Marriage In Korea divides the men
from the boys In way that may be
convenient, but that sometimes IL
amusing. No one but a married man
can wear the peculiar high-crowned
hat that is so characteristic Of Korean
dress. One day, writes Mr. Roy G..
Andrews In the National Geographic
Magazine, | noticed n little fellow who
wore hat and had his hair knotted
on the top of his head He was only
child, and said to the cook, rs that
little boy really married?'
''Do you mean that mani' the cook
asked, pointing at the child.
/ said, yes" and learned that the
little fellow, who was only eleven
years old. had a wife Of ten, to whom
he had been legally married. Although
they would continue to live with their
parents for the next two or three
years, the boy was referred to as a
"man," and had all the privileges Of
a full-grown member Of the commu-
nifty.
Near the "man" was a fellow Of
forty-seven, who wore his hair partoi
In the middle and hanging In long
braid down his back. Because he was
unmarried, he could not wear hat
or tie up his hair; no matter what age
he reached, he would always be con-
sidered to be a boy. The two were
photographed side by side, to the great
displeasure of the eleven-y -year-old man.

FEEDING a Llama.

A most unhappy fac befell a young
llama that came lhto the port of New
York on the U. s. 5. Munalres, says q
contributor to the Geological Society
Bulletin. United States sailors won
he animal at q ball game In Buenos
Aires, and brought him north with the
intention Of presenting him to the New
York Geological Park. Not realizing
his capacity for food. they failed to
bring enough hay to last until they
reached port, especially since they gen
erously permitted the llama to wander
into the hay compartment at will and
eat all he wished at each visit. The
hay gave out when the ship was cross
sng the equator, but the llama solved
the difficulty temporarily by discover
ing several brooms and eating the last
wIsp OF straw from the handles.
In desperation. t men collected all
the brooms on board and fed them to
the llama. When the br0Oms were
gone, the animal became demonstra-
tive. but he refused every substitute
until they offered him dried prunes
On that diet he arrived In New York
alive and apparently well, but during q
sudden cold spell he developed bron'
chial troubles, and finally died ol
pneumonia.

PAID FOR his FUN
Prank Of Baby Elephant Brought
Retribution.
Her Patience Exhausted, Mother Ad-
ministsred 4 Spanking That
Brought Tears In eucketfuIs.
From Her Offspring.

In recent exchange 1t Is stated
that elephants are amazingly like hu-
man beings In the way they discipline
their young. The following amusing
incident was seen by traveller In an
extensive lumber yard In Burma.
While the adult elephants were faith
fully ct work the youngsters played
about the yard. The elephant that at
tracted the travellers particular atten-
tion was hauling. in her chain harness.
q huge tree trunk from the bank Of
the river.
She had 4 heavy load, a fact that
her Offspring did not realize. Bent on
playing . prank. he wound his
little trunk about one Of the chain
traces and pulled back with all his
strength.
Conscious Of the suddenly increased
weight. the mother looked around. She
saw the youngster and shook her head
solemnly, but paying no further heed
to his teasing bent again to her work.
Meanwhile the little rascal, with his
mischievous trunk had loosened the
ring that fastened the traces to the
load.
While the mother was straining to
get her burden In motion again, her
rascally son pulled SO sturdily that
she was quite unaware that she had
been disconnected from her load. Then
suddenly the youngster let go. Nat
urally enough, the mother was thrown
to her knees and her driver hurled In
a wide circle from her back.
The culprit sought huge woodpile
that seemed to offer him at least tenn
porary protection. His mother how
ever, was soon In pursuit, and he had
to fee. Round and round the wood
pile he lodged, but his mother. with
her iron harness clanking noisily be-
hind her, kept close at his heels.
Although the little ones greater agil-
ity gained some space for him at the
corners, his mother eventually over
took him. Ths Arst blow Of her trunk
drew from him . bawl Of pain. At
the second hs sank. quite humbled to
his knees; and then he endured with
out 4 murmuf, although with many
tearY, 1 sound thrashing. Finally the
mother let him up. With tears still
streaming ana with dropping trunk he
took his disconsolate way out OF the
yard.
The little fellow had won the COM
plete sympathy Of the observer. Con-
sequently be was overjoyed to witness
during the noon hour touching rec
onciliauon. The mother did all she
could to comfort the penitent little
sinner: she caressed him with her
trunk, cuddled him up against her, and
looked at him as II to say: "You still
have q mother who loves you."
