THE SPANISH SPINDLE.

The Spanish Swindle" has shown it's head again, says an Associated Press correspondent, writing from Madrid. America has been inun- dated with letters from Ca dying prisoner, persecuted by political en- emies. only able to communicate with the outside world through the kindness of a prison chaplain" The writer of the letter claims relation ship with the person addressed. and explains that valise containing valuables has been concealed outside of Spain, the contents to be left to an only daughter and the American relative.
 Should the American reply, he later receives a letter from the chaplain" stating that the prisoner is dead and that a certain sum is required to release the prisoners baggage, including the mysterious valise. Fortunately, when the cor respondence reaches this point the American relative" usually becomes curious, and as result the en- bassy in Madrid and the consulates throughout Spain have flood of correspondence on the subject.
 In other cases, the victim takes the bait without question and parts with his money, or even worse still, goes to the expense of travelling to Spain to pay the required sum to release the valise and claim his share of the contents.
 In the latter case the swindler is generally brought to book, for the Spanish police are on the lookout and the presence of stranger look ing for lost relatives arouses their suspicious. .:-.-..
 Recently an American arrived in Madrid with a certified check, to claim his share of a prisoners es- tate. The Spanish police put him in prison until he could be con vinced that he had been the victim of clever swindler. It took all the eloquence of an American con sul to do this and induce the mar to return home.

EXPLORER CALLS SUGGESTED PLAN
 FOOLISH NOTION


 modernize the Eskimo by providing him with concrete huts in place of his picturesque snow "igloos," as suggested by an official of the United States bureau of fisheries would be the death of the denizen of the icy North, in the opinion of Vilhjalmur Stefansson, the Arctic explorer. Not only is the Eskimo as devoted to his age-long habita- tion as the South Sea islanders are to their traditional garb of flower garlands and fresh smiles; but he lis far healthier, warmer and more comfortable in his domed mansion of snow blocks than he could be in any modern house of concrete.
 The statement that the natives of the Pribiloff islands were about to discard their snow huts for modern concrete huts, finding the gales of Bering sea too strong for the for mer, upon which the story of the intended change of Eskimo habits was based, MT. Stefansson charac- terized as too silly for discussion. The explorer, talking at his head quarters at the National Geograph- ical Society building here, said that the Pribiloff islanders had never lived in snow huts, but in wooden huts, and that farther north, where the natives do live in snow houses, lit would be next to impossible to convert them to any other dwelling.
 "Their igloo serves as a home for two or three weeks. Then they build new one. Because it is new, it is clean and sanitary. It is as warm and comfortable as your library. A candle gives as much illumination as three electric lights, because of the intense whiteness of the snow. The snow house will stand under any conditions. In all, the igloo is as comfortable a home as man could wish.
 'The concrete hut, like the wood en hut, must be uncomfortable and Iunsanitary. Wherever the natives have changed from the snow to the wooden home there has followed pneumonia and typhoid and tre. mendous increase in the death rate ! "The Eskimos are migratory race. Contact with civilization ha. affected them and they are dying off. They must soon be extinct, ant the concrete hut hastens that ex tinction. The Eskimos are like thu gypsies. Try to keep a gypsy in { house of concrete and see wha happens.
 "Still, the Eskimos might be con lverted to the concrete hut" wen on Mir Stefansson, smiling. "If i becomes the fashion. Should con crete homes become fashionable, al Eskimos would soon be living il them. Human nature is the sam the world over. Let someone in troduce the wearing of furs, as |; fashion, in the South Sea islands and the natives there would wea furs. Women wear furs in Cali fornia and Florida, where the eli mate is just as hot as on the Soul Sea islands. So, you see, you neve can tell"

in after the Napoleonic and Ameri- can Civil wars. She bought the cheap securities of impoverished na- tions in a most prodigious manner and thereby laid the foundation for ,,her future wealth. We must do likewise, and do it within the next two or three years, by which time these abnormal conditions will have passed.
 With the pound sterling 25 per cent or more below par, England can sell to the United States at a great advantage. We can sell Am erican goods abroad only at great disadvantage, because we must add the abnormal rate of exchange to the goods to get into foreign mar kets. Premier Lloyd George recent ly declared, when sterling was sell ing at discount of Is percent, that the discount really represented "a protective tariff of Is percent on goods manufactured in England. Certainly it is helping to keep Am erican goods out of that country.
 "The only remedy for this con- dition is for the United States to buy foreign securities and extend long time credit for merchandise We are in a strong economic posi- |tion. The nations of Europe must have our cotton and wheat, and, Isince they are so heavily indebted Ito us and we must extend them many more millions to put them on their feet, what is the difference whether we buy their bonds or send them our merchandise?
 Everyone in Wall Street knows that if the peace treaty had been signed in Washington an interna- tional exchange committee would have been organized long before now to stabilize exchange and bring about other necessary readjustments. Never during the darkest days of
 the war, when the Germans were
 almost at Paris, did British and , French exchange go to where it is
 now. The British, during the war by system of credits with the
 United States, had sterling begged Ito s4.52. '"
 'The tension over and gold ex.
 ports curtailed, there was nothing to keep it that close to parity. In. deed, unless the United State: g loosens its purse strings, there arc London financial experts who say l the pound sterling will drop as low
 as S2.50. That would be calami p ty. It would be a two-edged swore injuring both England and the Unit
 ed States.
