German Reichsbank Starts Building Up Fresh
 Credits for Purpose.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The Ger man Reichsbank known under the Hohenzollefn regime as the Imperial Bank of Germany has begun to bnilI up fresh credits here in anticipation of further reparations payments due England and France.
 Some 200 cases of bar silver valued at about $850,000 have been received here by the Equitable Trust Com pany, representing the German gov ernment. It is thought that fully one. quarter of the August separations settlement. which may aggregate $20,- 900, ,O00, will be paid in silver metal, of which Germany is said to have large supplies.
 Reports from abroad state that German bankers find it more advan- tageous in the present state of ex. change to ship silver to this country than to hypothecate the metal at home against foreign credits.
 Some of the gold which Germany is to pay through this market this month is likely to take the form of bullion melted down from French and Russian coin. Germany already has paid to France much of the gold which she extracted from that coun- try as part of her indemnity after the Franco-Prussian war and which for many years was part of the Inn perial governments war chest

IN THE KITCHEN.
Helpful Hints.

A few little secrets" for the
housewife, who having to do her own
baking and cooking, may help to
make those weary hours a source of
pleasure, while the task of standing
over a hot stove, with a mess of
dirty dishes and disorderly kitchen
staring at you is very undesirable.
The housewife who plans more and
stews less is by far the happier.
A woman whom 1 know has so
grown into the hurry-flurry habit
that when she undertakes to tell a
friend a recipe, she will do it thus:
"You run and get cup of sugar, and
then run and get two eggs ;and then
run and get cup of milk" and so on
Running has actually become a part
of her baking. Many steps and
much time may be saved by having
all material for baking in one part
cf the cabinet OF cupboard.
Always get things ready before
starting to bake. Don't wash youl
hands, stick them into the flour, thel
start pulling shoppers from bottles
covers from boxes and so on. B!
! the time you are ready to use you
flour, it is everywhere but in the bak

TOURISTS INCREASE
COLORADO'S BUSINESS

DENVER, Colo. Dec. 27.-Seven
years ago travellers purchased Indian
curios while visiting in Colorado; to-
day, sales include staples, from hats
to shoes, clothing and other necessi-
ties Of life. Tne result is that Aug
ust, formerly the dullest in the busi-
ness mans calendar, is next to De-
cember the heaviest month, in point
of sales. Tourists seven years ago
probably left $7OOO,0OO in Colorado;
in 1921, with an estimated 100000
tourists by rail and auto, sales and
hotel and camp accommodations
climbed to $86,0OO,OOO.
In response to a travel survey
made by the tourist bureau Of the
Denver Civic and Commercial Asso-
citation, Denver merchants regard the
advancement of the tourist business
as follows;
A. d. Lewis, president of the Lewis
& Son Dry Goods Company: July
and August, instead of being the dull
est months, have become two Of the
best months on the entire calendar
H. M. StOll, vice president of the
Joslin Dry Goods Company: Chou
sands of visitors come to Colorado
where we used to have dozens. This

of such suggestions surpasses belief.

ROADSIDE CAMPING
PLACE FOR tourist

Helena, Dec. 27.-With a view of
ascertaining what sentiment, if any,
exists in Montana to preserve from
DETACHMENT by commercial signs and
advertising objects of natural beauty
along the roadsides, and to extend
the growth of trees and shrubs along
the highways of Montana by planting
where needed, and the establishment
of roadside parks and camps on small,
idle, waste and isolated tracts con-
tiguous to the roadside, R. P. Nc
Laughlin, state forester, has addressed
a QUESTIONABLE to commercial clubs,
women's clubs and other organizations
in the state that might be interested
"DO you know what the tourist
travel in Montana is coming to
mean?" asks Mr.. Mclaughlin. "Do
you know that Colorado had over a
million and a quarter tourists last
year; do you know that there were
at least 100000 tourists in Montana
/ last year; that the tourist business is
growing and is sure to become an i'm
portant feature in Montana business ?
Do you believe that little attractive
things along the road add much to
the charm Of our bigger, grander,
mammoth scenes ?"
Persons and organizations to whom
the QUESTIONABLE was sent are asked
if they favor law centralizing the
control and preservation of roadside
beauty in some department of the
state government, and if so, in what
department? They are also asked il

UNEMPLOYED ADVISED
TO STAY WHERE KNOWN

HELENA, Dec. 24.-Jobless men
and women in Montana have better
chance of getting by by remaining
in the community where they are
known than if they begin to drift.
This is the warning of the division
of labor and publicity of the Depart
ment of Agriculture and is based
upon reports of municipal free en-
ployment offices. and employers.
Reports of municipal employment |
offices show that there is not city
= the state but has more unemployed
men than there are Jobs. Further
more, whatever new work may de-
velop during the winter in these COM
munities will go to the resident un-
employed. The drifters will not have
chance.
Missoula, Billings and Great Falls
particularly have attracted men from
other districts, and there has been no
work for them. A heavier burden has
been imposed upon the charitable or
ganizations of these cities as a re-
suit of this drifting, and the drift
ers have suffered more hardship
than would have been the case had
they remained in the communities
where they are known.
In November 419 men and 124- wo-
men applied for work at six munich
pal employment offices. There were
81 men placed, and 80 women. There
was an increase over October in the
number Of women looking for domes-
tic and also for office work. Most
of the men were looking for common
labor or ranch work A few station
ary engineers, truck drivers and
teamsters were also listed.
The reports show there is prac-
ticalIy no labor demand in the state
at present. Remarks of M. P. Beach
ly, in charge of the Great Falls EN-
ployment office, are typical. '*Thers
