DANGERS OF MOTORING.

It appears that in addition to the
ordinary dangers of motoring, that is
to say the dangers incident to COLI
sions, railroad crossings, ETC., there has
now come the greater danger OF being
slain by robbers to whom the obliging
motorist gives rides. 1t hats been the
custom of many motorists to pick up
pedestrians and give them a "lfft''
along their way, but the recent murder
of two such accommodating autoists
has brought about a revulsion in feel
ing.
In Escambia county, and in the 9TH
er counties of West Florida and South
Alabama, at least, it is doubtful If the
man on foot will be accorded the cour-
tesies heretofore given those who
journey by walking. And motorists
cannot be blamed if they drive rap
idly when they see strange men on the
highways.
1t is, Of course, true that most of the
pedestrians one passes or meets on
the highway are not the kind who
would commit murder, yet the motor
list cannot tell the good from the bad
any more than can anyone else, and
his wisest course appears to be to
drive on about his business and let
the more humble traveller do likewise

NO RHINE HORROR.

There is no Horror on the Rhine"
says The Nation, liberal weekly, whose
investigation, made wholly without
prejudice, has brought conviction that
the facts by no means warrant the
wild exaggerations which have been
given currency"
Recently The Nation published a
letter from it's correspondent, Lewis
Cannot. who found that the civilian
population, far from hating such black
troops as remain, even prefer them to
the White occupying troops.

inoffensiveness of the black troops APP

German papers in the United States.

members from each Of the three great
Cossack parliaments, the Don, the
Terek and the Kuban. The Cossacks
have always enjoyed great liberties,
even under the most autocratic OF
czars, and, as matter of fact, they
always will be free, simply because
they will not live under any condi-

BRITISH INDUSTRIES
FAIR is IN SESSION

In view of the large number Of bus
mess men from the southern states
who have made trips to the British
Isles during 192O-1921, it might be Of
interest to the travelling public, partic-
ularly such as intend to visit the
United Kingdom in 1922, to hear some
thing of that rapidly growing business
developer, 1.-The British Industries
Fair"
The fair is divided into three Sec
tions, each comprehensive and COM
plete in itself, held in London, Bir-
mingham and Glasgow, respectively,
during February and March of each
year.
The London, (and largest) section is
organized by the department of over
seac trade on behalf of the board of
trade, and the provincial fairs by the
municipalities of the respective cities
under the auspices of the board of
trade.
In 1921, in spite Of the general trade
depression, over $4,000 visitors attend
ed the fair, over 700 of whom were
from abroad, and more than 35 million
dollars worth of business was trans
acted with the 1900 firms who ex-
hibited.
The department of overseas trade
extends invitations to overseas buyers
who will be in the United Kingdom
during 1922 to visit the fair, and par
ticularly to such as. are interested in
the direct import trade of the United
Kingdom.
The British vice consul, Gil Ameri-
can National Bank building, Pensacola,

to supply personal invitations to bona
fide business men with a view to their
attending the fair during their stay
in Europe.

Gold and Foreign Trade

Gold and Foreign Trade.
The gold dollar is equivalent to
$3.50 in deposit liabilities of the FEEDER
| al Reserve system, and to about $40
in terms Of credit in the entire bank
ing system of the country. The re-
moval of s100,000,000 in gold from the
gold reserve now held in the banking
system, without reducing the gold re-
serve ratio, would involve contrac-.
ton Of credits Of about $4,000. 100000
On the same basis, credit could be
extended to Europe in the amount of
S2,000,000,000 based on 100000. 900 Of
free gold in the reserve fund, without
altering the present reserve ratio.
Inasmuch as considerable gold is
coming into the country from Europe.
thereby depicting the gold reserves OF
European countries. and further de-
preciating their purchase power by re-
ducing their exchange, it becomes an
obligation OF the United States as a
creditor nation to extend credit to Eu~
rope for the purpose of purchasing our
raw materials, to the end that a. prop
er trade balance may be maintained.
There can be no differentiation made
between one dollar in gold acquired.
from Europe and one dollar of gold
newly acquired from the mines of the
United States. 1t must be apparent,
however, that gold produced from our
mines would IN no way affect adverse
~ the purchase power of Europe, while
the gold that we are now acquiring
from Europe is greatly reducing Eu-
ropes purchasing power and retarding
cur export trade.
AS a creditor nation, we must view
the situation from an entirely different
angle than formerly when we occu-
pied position as a debtor nation. We
have, by reducing the gold reserves Of
Europe augmented the gold reserve OF
the United States, but it must be re-
garded that we are but the custodians
for the reserve, and that the prosperity
of our country will depend greatly
upon our protecting that reserve from
excessive industrial consumption, and
by utilizing the same to the best pos
sibla advantage in extending further
credit TO the countries with which we
trade. We are, in fact, the information

fact the United States must assume

The Prohibition Joke.

The Prohibition Joke.
Roy A. Haynes, the new federal pro-
hibition commissioner, wants the pub
lie to stop making a joke of prohlb1-
ton, says the Tampa Tribune. In his
first public statement he says:
"I appeal especially to the editoria
and news writer's, to the cartoonist, to
the reporter, to the scenario writer
to the playwright, to lend every aid to
law enforcement.
1.-THE editorial, the cartoon, the news
story, the film or the legitimate play.
which has in it the direct statement
or the inferential suggestion that the
dry program is easily violated--that 5
a Jokes not only harmful in the
warping of sentiment against the en-
forcement of this one law, but. obVi-
ously leads to an unfair and unfortun-
ate attitude toward laws generally" (.
Possibly Commissioner Haynes ex-
aggerated this joke evil mad fails &c
make due allowance for deep grained
American characteristic. It is tbs
American way to jest with serious
things. Kipling observed this quality
when, in characterizing AN Ameri-
can" he referred to "the cynic devil
in his blood" which even bids hin
mock his hurrying SOUL"
The fact that an American cracks
jokes about anything does not neces-
sarily mean that he is not serious
about it, or even respectful toward #
Americans jest about religion without
being irreligious. During the war there
was an infinite amount of joking
about the "meatless" and 'wheatless'
days and other aspects of war priva-
ton, while the public was taking them
seriously all the time. Many, perhaps
most of the prohibition jokes are orig
mated or repeated by people who are
sincerely in sympathy with prohibit
ton.
It may be, however, that all this jest
ing does harm by exerting undue in
fluence on light and susceptible minds.
It is well, therefore, to keep the com
missioners warning in mind and moi
go to an extreme in the matter-St.
