what may be a reasonable figure on Monday may be a bankrupt price on Tuesday. It is this terrible uncer- tainty which hampers development of trade. The reasons for the fuetua- tions are many, but the chief cause is that millions of marks arc in the hands of speculatorS outside Poland: Quite recently certain German banks sold Polish marks at a figure far be- low Warsaw rates of exchange, with the result that the mark fell two or three thousand Economists insist that there is too. large an issue of ever, there is something to be said for the Pole. The check system is not in use, and it is necessary ia carry a large wad of notes for the ordinary expenses of daily life. The notes are made of such fiinsy paper that after two or three weeks of circulation. they literally fall in pieces, disintes- rating in the hand. This means that so many millions of marks annually disappear, which reduces the govern ment responsibility.

on American links. This winter Jim Barnes and Jock Hutchinson, holders of the American and British open ti- ties, are going to the coast for an eX- hfbition trip. While Barnes and Hutchinson are representatives of American golf, neither is a native born son.
 So in all 4he "zaepping up'' that has been done and is an the books for future business not a single American homebred golfer has benefited: This golfers who were born on this side of the Atlantic, learned their game here and have always played here. It seems reasonable to expect that a pair of American homebreds could do a little successful barn storming.
 And the erux of the matter is that some of them are giving this matter serious consideration. Foremost of all American homehred golf profession als is Walter Hagen, twice American open chapion and one of the best natured and best-hked men in the game. tTThe Hage," as he is termed, used to t'get the goats of other pro- fessionals a few years ago because he wore such a great variety of fashy clothes and appeared in a tuxedo at winter golfing resorts.
 He drew a few unkind comments from British professionals the first year he went toTer to play in the British open, but last year at St. Andrews he was as popular as any man there. He even won the hearts of the Old School Scotch profession aIS when he took some of them into his room, opened his trunks and told

 OldDiamOnd

Shanghai, Dec. 19.-Worn by the beautiful Gaby Deslys, French actress famous for her wonderful jewels ana the hearts she had broken, and hay ing a romantic. mysterious history the largest diamond in China, which has been on display in a local jewelry store, has been purchased by a wealthy Chineee of Picking whose name is not known.
 The marvellous stone, weighing 102.69 carats and measuring more than an inch in width and having depth in proportion, arrived from Paris recently.
 The fame of the stone was abroad in China soon after it arrived, but the scintillating jewel. in its blue vel vet box, was brought forth for only a favored few to see.
 The jewel is centuries old and is said to have been worn in the jeweled turbans of famous court beauties, shone as the eye in the forehead of a goddess in a temple in Egypt and to have played a part in the wars of the ancient wonld-
 Whatever it's mysterious past the next chapter of the jewel will be written in ancient Peking. Whether it will be worn by the wife of wealthy official at social funcctions attended by the cosmopolitan for eign residents or on the slim little hand of a beautiful concubine hidden from the public eye is unknown
 The purchaser of the diamond made one visit to the store, inspected the jewel and purchased it at once. The diamond was sold for 50,00O and, according to the managers of the firm of jewellers, would have sold for $175,OO0 if the color had been perfect and the shape, which was slightly square, round.
 The Chinese are the great diamond buyers in Shanghai The Chinese women are mad about wond jewels and wear large diam ondS in rir Ina air m T1t in dangling earrings. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are invested by the Chinese in diamonds every year, and the more expensive, more nearly Hergect in coloring and larger the Aone the more certain the jewel is of immediate purchase.

C0CkROkCHES WARY OF NON -:SKID

New York, Dec. 19.-Leo Eichler never had any interest in cockroaches untll he met Reinhold Koch. who in- mated him into the inricacies of one-Inan, non-skid, puncture-proof trap guaranteed to exterminate any saembers of the well known roden IaSS4ly whose unwary feet found their way ixS4o the traps clutches.

They then So away to lick the alum off their feet, catch pneum onia and die. The inventor Of the trap had experfmented extensive ly before hitting upon his scheme His first attempts were confined to the common household method of step ping on the roach. Anybody who has ever participated in this indoor sport with frdsky roach knows that it is productive of more exercise than sat isfaction.

 Then along came Koch with his roach trap.
 Now Leo wants the Supreme Court to share his roach trouble. He says he gave Koch his entire S2,250 bank roll and, also, and in addition, a note for $4,O0O secured by a chattel mort gage: Koch gave the note O his daughter, who now believes it was meant as a keepsake and something to remember her dad by.
 The trap works fine, except that the reaches refuse to go near it. Leo sold quite a few of the trasp, and now his customers want him to come and take his traps away again, hav- ing first refunded the purchase price. Leo now wants the Court to declare his s4,O00 note outlawed and his s2,- 250 sock returned.
 Justice Wagner said he would sprinkle some law on Leo's claim and think about it. Meantime all reaches in the Bronx have a new lease on life.

FRIEND
 DIES AT AGE OF S1

Honolulu, T. H., Dec. 19.-Another of the few remaining links which bind Hawaii to its glorious past has been severed by the death of Mrs. Wakeke UluIani Heleluhe, for 30 years a retainer and close personal friend of the late Queen Lilioukalani.
 Mrs. Heleluhe, who was nearing her S1st birthday, belonged to the old gentry of Hawaii. She was with Queen Ltl,'' as the late monarch was affectionately known. when she was a princess, through her years as rul- ing monarch of Hawaii, and, still faithful, through her declining years following the disruption of the nnon- archy and the subsequent annexation of Hawaii to the United States. She at one time accompanied the late queen to Washington.

New York, Dec. 19.-America is as far as professional golf is concern ed, and some of the leading native born pros are beginning to pinch themselves and wonder why, if British golfers can make an annual clean up'' in the United States golfing cen tres, they cannot get some of the money.
 This exhibition stuff is getting on the nerves of some of the crack home- breds and small wonder. Harry Var don and Ed Ray took away a cool $20,000 each for their three months tour here in 1920, and George Duncan and Abe Mitchell stepped over last summer from Britain and did fully as we'll as Vardon and Ray.
 It is understood that next summer two other British professionals, with Sandy Herd mentioned as the drawing card of the team. will try their luck
