Seven Statues for

During the present year it is ex-
pected that there will be unveiled or
dedicated the Lincoln IMMORTAL Build
ing, the Women's Titanic Memorial,
the Francis Asbury Memorial, and
the statues of Meade, Buchanan,
Hamilton and Francis Scott Key.
All of these are to be located on
sites donated by the Government in
Washington City. Large gatherings
are expected for most of these cere-
monies, especially for the dedication
of the Francis Asbury Memorial, the
site for which was authorized by Con-
gress in 1919.
1t is now proposed by Congress that
there shall be closer scrunity over
works of art to be placed in Washing
ton before permission is given. This
has come about through criticism of
some of the statues and memorials
that have been placed. Notable
among these art specimens that failed
to meet the endorsement of art crit
les was the DUPONT statue which was
removed and the site occupied by an
Admiral Dupont memorial fountain

Washington, April 5-A new FERR
for the stabilizing Of exchange and
at the same time building up foreign
trade, has been worked out by the
state department experts and is about
to be put into position, it is learned
today. The tentative outline Of the
plan as sent to the American consul
lar agents all over the world is said
to be meeting with enthusiastic re-
Spouse.
The novelty of the new program
consists in the fact that emphasis
is laid upon the buying and invest
ment rather than upon the selling in
foreign markets.
The United States has become .
cred tor nation as result of the war,
the experts pointed out, and unless
our foreign trade is reorganized in
such a way as to bring the dollar
back to something like normal, we
are in danger of losing tremendous
commercial advantage gained as q
result of the war.

BOOSTS Fl DORADO
 AS SECOND TULSA

Little Rock, May 10.-"El Dorado is destined to become second Tulsa" :" declared Mayor F. H. Smith of that city while in Little Rock yesterday When asked why Fl Dorado had not been raised to city of the first class, Mayor Smith said that they are so busy bringing in new oil wells that they have not had time to take in a special census. The city has increased in population in the last few months from a small town to about 18,000 population. The only cities of Arkan- sas that are ahead of it are Little Rock. Fort Smith an Pine Bluff and the Fl Dorado boosters are confident that they will soon pass the others and have only Little Rock as a com petitor. There are now 46 producing wells in the Fl Dorado field, yielding a daily production of 130,000 barrels. There are 230 wells being drilled and it is almost daily occurrence for some new well to be brought in. So far only four dry holes have been struck, which is considered most re- markable record.
