United States, AL
though Bulk of For
tunesHaveRemained
as Investments Here

I ONG before there was talk of entang
IL ling alliances of a political nature
between the United States and European
countries many beautiful American girls
had formed ties matrimonial binding ia
nous names of nobility with 700 per cent
Yankee dollars. There is no news in this.
bur perhaps everybody doesn't know that
these brides took as their marriage por-
tions total of over billion dollars out
of their native country.
1t is true thar in the ma j0rfty of in
stances railway stocks and other secuTI-
ties that made up the dot were permitted
to remain here to earn the incomes Lord
and Lady So and So spent in older lands,
but this custom is likely to be changed
first because of the super tax now COM
monty placed on income derived from
abroad and second because all kinds of
European securities supposed to be guar
anteed by Government are now going
cheap. 1t is likely that an international
marriage settlement viii have clause
calling for the hard money.
The recently announced decision of the
Princess AnaStasia of Greece, formerly
Mrs w. p. Leeds, to see that her fortune
made in America reverted eventually to
America makes this article most timely.
~ YER a billion dollars has gone out
" of the United States as marriage
settlements of American girls in
the last thirty five years. This is an esti-
mate-it obviously had to be-but in the
opinion of financiers and others who keep
sharp watch on economics the amount is
well within the fact.
There are, indeed statisticians who claim
that were all the foreign marriages listed,
including those of the boWgeoisie type,
where the dot Of the american bride did
nor reach shining mark but nevertheless
amounted TO a respectable fortune. the
billion dollars would be multiplied by two.
International marriages involving any de-
gree of fortune always mean marriage
settlement, but for period the brilliant
matches. as with dukes, princes or other
lofty titles became so fashionable that
lesser matches attracted no notice.

The present situation Is frankly at.

the fact that in her rapid absorption

One great cause Of that estrange

that it was the United States that con

to time, made political moves in con
nection with her expansion in the Fa,
East. The effect of this was to pro
duce upon Japanese minds the impress
sion that America, and America alone

ascendency in the world and was at
tempting to check 1t.

Chief Engineer Mullen Says Projects
Are Selected to Distribute Both

A call for bids on trunk highway

Charles M. Babcock, state highway
commissioner, marks the start of the
"more work-better roads movement
in Minnesota. Other lists are to be

Special team work is to be ordered
to help settlers and farmers in some
districts, the highway officials said,
and still other projects will include
grading and bridge jobs. The first
list is estimated at $1,687,0O and is
made up of 26 gravel-surfacing jobs
on 274 miles and a single job Of 25
miles of paving. The present plar
is to use about $4,50O,OO0 on winter

Several regular 1921 projects whick

The projects total 229 miles .?and
the cost estimates aggregate $1,687,'

the old state capitol building in St

MATCHES.

THE first true friction match was
invented by John Walter of
Stocton-on-Tees, England, in
1927. Godfrey Haukwitz, in 1880, had
noticed the principle Of the ignition of
sulphur and phosphorus by friction,
but had made no use of the idea. The
safety match, which strikes only on the
box, was invented by Swede named
Lundstrom in 1855.
