n taxi was called, and thither the
girls spun; braggadocia and defiance
all gone: just a pair Of terribly
frightened girls, crying as IL their
hearts would break.
Later, after the tear-storms had
passed, they recovered their sang
froid. They smiled adorably. They
even tried timidly, to hirt with the
stern faced chief. Very willingly,
they told the story OF their setting
out to see the world.
ONE A POOR SAILOR
Margaret had had enough OF ad-
venture-it seems she got seasick on
the boat-was sorry she I d run
away and said she was glad she was
going home. Fifteen-year-old Eliza
beth, a better sailor. was built OF
sterner stun. She wouldn't say she
was sorry. The only grief she ex-
pressed was over the fact that she
had bobbed her.hair. And this gr5sf.
evidently, waAfborn Of fear at what
her parents might say.
Both girls denied strenuously, that
they had been accompanied by boys
on their trip. In fact, II was to get
away from boys "who tried to get
too spoony" that was partly respon-
sible for the adventure.
1--WE got sick and tired OF suitors,
forever wanting to spoon. and hold
hands," Margaret declared.
ID. C. CALLED POkEY TOWN.
"Yes, and we got sick and tired of
pokey, old Washington, with nothing
but school. and movies" Elizabeth put
In. "We wanted to see the world and
have some real excitement"
And then both girls began to rail-
against "the mean thing" who had
told on them"
1--WE told just one boy friend where
we were going said Margaret. And
of course he just couldn't keep his
mouth shut. Just wait till we get
our hands on him!
The plan to run away. the girls
said, was born nearly. two weeks ago.

President Wilson, aroused over re-

"The President is going to con-

conjectures in political circles wheth-

Thus far the President has refused

it has been stated at the White House
that he had no intention of engaging

With this in view some politicaa

JAPAN MAKING PLANS
TO INCREASE EXPORTS

TOXIC. Aug 20.--In reply to an offi-
cial inquiry the Kobe Chamber of Com
merce eubmitted the following plan TO
the Department OF Agriculture and Com
merce for improving Japan's foreign
trade:
First, effect reduction in the cost
of production and decline in the prices
of commodities by lifting the ban on the
export of gold and silver. by encourag-
Ing investments abroad and by enhanc-
ing the efficiency of production.
"Second. increase the supply OF low
interest funds among traders and make
banks buy cheap bills convertible at as
long a period as possible"
The chamber also recommends rules
for preventing unreasonable compet-
ton in selling goods in foreign markets,
the establishment of q trade bureau IN
the centre of Japan as an Independent
institution for encouraging and facilitat-
ing foreign trade. the adoption OF the
export credit scheme as in England, the
opening OF a steamship service for the
Black Sea, the East Mediterranean and
the Persian Gulf and the lowering or
foreign telegraphic charges.

ARGENTINA OFFERS
EXAMPLE TO EUROPE
Banker Tells of Success in Re-
constructing Her Monetary
System in 1899.
NOW ON SOLID GOLD BASIS
War Damaged Nations Urged
to Follow Out Rules Set by
Brussels Conference.

BUENos AIRES, Aug. 2o.-Reconstruc-
tion of the monetary systems Of those
countries whose currency has depreci-
ated. on the plan followed by Argen-
tina in 1899 Is recommended by Carlos
A. Tornquist, International banker. who
was Argentine delegate to the Brussels
financial conference last year.
Adoption of this plan. he told mem
bers of the American Club at a lunch
con here, had fixed a permanent value
for Argentina's then fluctuating paper
currency and quickly enabled the coun-
try to emerge from monetary chaos into
economic stability and prosperity. Many
os the leading men in Germany, he said,
were already in favor OF adopting a
monetary reform patterned after Argen-
tina's.
Explaining the mechanism OF the plan.
OF which his father was the author,
Senior Tornquist said under the Conver-
sion law of 1899. by which 1t was car
ried into effect, value of "A cents gold
was fixed for the paper peso, and the
national financial institution which the
law created was authorized to deliver
one paper peso in exchange for that sum
In gold and vice versa. The value, he
said, was fixed very much below par,
because the depreciation Of the paper
money had become permanent one and
because values had become adjusted to
the depreciation that is to say, that,
apart from the fluctuations liable to be
produced by abnormal causes, the real
value of the paper peso measured in
gold was Al cents"
The New York herald., 1921-08-21

even when the country had obtained
only a modest stock Of gold. This stock
has increased from barely $4,000 in 1902,
$90.000.000 in 1905. TO S470,0oO,o o0e IN
the present day. Uncovered circulation
of 293. .000, 900 paper pesos was assimi-
lated and placed on a parity with the
emissions subsequently made on gold
basis. To-day, ne said, Argentina had a
paper circulation of about 1850. 100000
pesos. backed by a metallic guarantees.
which, according TO the rate established
by the law, amounts TO 80 per cent.
II believe" he continued, that the
existence OF such high proportion Of
yellow metals gives me the right to af-
firm that Argentine money is to-day
among the soundest In the whole world. :"
The result has been that from the
time OF the sanction of the law foreisn
capital has flowed into the country on
large scale. production multiplied. COM
nerce attained extraordinary proper
tions, immigration increased until Ar
gentine production to-day Is one OF the
essential factors in the worlds markets
in providing foodstuffs for mankind and
raw materials for manufacturers.
Senior Tornquist advocated as the first
remedy for the European economic dis
order adherence 10 the recommended
tions of the Brussels conference for
strictest economy, suppression or SUD
sidies and economic barriers, the reduc-
ton of armament expenditures and sup
preston of unproductive works ana
even certain productive.

Recovery should BE Rapid.

IF they will follow these sound rec
concentrations from the conference or
Brussels" he continued, 1T is my opin-
Ion that many countries will in rela-
lively short space of time be able to
place themselves In normal economic
condition, under which their production
and consumption viii be maintained in
a proportion permitting the liquidation
of the obligations contracted by reason
of the war Then. in my opinion, Will
be the time for these nations to begin
to think OF .readjusting their monetary
systems.
1T does not appear to me possible
to effect this reconstruction of monetary
systems by means of disinflation. for
this would be slow process and would
not do away with the fluctuations In the
value OF money; and. worse still. II
would impose completely unnecessary
sacrifices upon industry, commerce and
production.
"On the other hand, I consider the
Argentine example perfectly feasible for
many countries. Our conversion law, its
origin its result, it's economic effects.
consider a subject of great Importance
and great practical possibilities for
many countries, and I think the sooner
and the more your country does in
this direction, in view OF its enormous
moral and material influence in all
present world problems, the better it
will be-"
