WHERE COLD WAS sCoRNED


 William G. Shepherd, in Leslie's.
 Floundering around in the sea of paper money in Eurppe. with ragged and filthy bills filling his pockets and his suitcase, an American soon makes the astonishing discovery that gold is not worth as much as this same almost worthless paper.
 very disgusted America n stamped his way out of the office of an American official in Germany recently. What had happened to him had driven him to sarcasm.
 Well, when we can make automo- piles and sewing machines out Of gold, l suppose the yellow stuff will insly to the offending American of- ficial.
 The visitor had tried to get the of ficial to accept from him-a s2o gold piece. In fact, he had extended the glittering piece noudly to the or- ficial, as if to say, You don't see much of this honest to- goodness money out this way, do you?" But the official hadn't even reached out his hand; he had been surprisingly disinterested.
 We don't take gold here" he told the American You can't get rid of it any more'n if 1t was a zinc nickel"
 The visitor tried to argue, at first; then he got mad.
 Gimme German marks" said the official We'd rather have them than the gold. Go to some bank and trade your gold for marks. You won't get as much for it as you would for American bills or checks on New York, but you'll get something. Then come back here with your German marks and we'll fix you out.'
 But the German mark aint worth even cents" protested the visitor, Tits almost the cheapest money in the world"
 Bring enough of em here and we'll be happy, They're better'n gold" explained the official
 So the astonished American sales man went out into the strange, cold European world to seek out some bank where he could get almost as for sbills of the United States federal reserve bank. He sold the gold at a loss, as everyone must do who brings the yellow metal to Europe in the form of money.
 The chief thing that men in Flu rope demand of money these days is that 1t be mobile, fluid, easily moved from place to place. Old Mir. Gold must stay where you find him. It is against all the laws of Europe to move him from one country to an other. No matter what you buy from one country. you cannot ship gold from your own country into the other for the purpose of making pay ments. You may go to the officials of your own country and beg as you please for permission to ship out gold, but they will tell you to change your gold for paper and ship the paper away.

UNDERWOOD WILL ACCEPT PLACE IN
 ARMAMENT FARLEY
(cortinues From Page one3

congresses or pariiaments, but by the national sentiment and policies of the people who make up the na- tions involved.
 The two great dominant forces that affect the life of every nation and to which the nationals of the ma tions always respond Is the desire Of the people to be protected against foreign invasion and the natural de sire of the people of every nation to expand. The. sentiment for self-de- fense and theswish for more room for themselves and their children to work out the problems of life in and to overcome the evils of crowded popu lation are fundamentals.
 The people of the United States are not as seriously affected by these two great problems as are the peo- pie whose delegates will meet ours in the Washington conference.
 Japan, by reason of her over crowded condition. naturally desires opportunity to expand. France, who lost a part of her territory 50 years ago. had her national life threatened forsseveral years in the great war and natural sentiment for self-de- fense and to maintain ,.avies and arr mics for self-defense is the dominant thought Of the French. The English may think their huge navy is the binding force holding the mother country and her cofc.aies together. N
 The Governtag Force
 "These sentiment9 of peoples whose delegates will meet in Washington will in the last adalysis be the gov erning force that must be reckoned with in reaching any agreement, 50 that do not say that the path is en- tjrely open or that the way is en- tirely clear to the reaching of a sat- isfactory agreement. I do say, how ever, that bclievethe people of the world are weary of the weight of the great burden of tax assessment for military expenditures that not yithstanding other influences that nay guide their delegates they will be willing to make concessions ana sacrifices so that the ultimate goal may be reached of relieving the world of armaments and assuring reace to this and future generations.
 If satisfactory agreement Is en- tered into and ratified by the Ave gi eat powers believe 1t Will nave a splendid effect on business condi- tions. It may be several years before the actual effect Of the agreement IS felt, but business will discount the future. It will encourage the whesis of industry to function again aione normal limos and win greatly assist the return of the day of prosper lity."
 Senator Underwood, except for . slight summer cold. caught in the Tennessee mountains, is in exceile' [ health He slipped into the city sat urday night. explaining with smile that he wanted day of quiet ss- elusion with members of his family here. His first trip downtown was made yssterday. he said. Upon his return to Washington. he expscts to ro into conference with the President and the other American delegates te l the conference.

Dor, Business throughout Asia Minor is paralyzed. Americans control the little trading that exists. There are three reasons for this stoppaEe of business. One is the war another is the hopeless rate of exchange (the Turkish pound Is worth about s5 cents), and third is lack of demand for foreign goods.
 As ther eseems little likelihood of an abamtemeht of the war between the Greeks and Kemalists. local mer- chants see little hope of a revival of Smyrna's commercial supremacy. Many of them have left the place for Italy, England and America, where they hope to find greater prosperity.
 City Is Primitive
 The city itself is so primitive and unattractive that one wonders why it has been such a bitter bone of con- tention between the Greeks and Turks for so many centuries. But, of course. 1t Is the rich agricultural lands with in the province of Smyrna that both sides covet. This area, which the Turks call the Pearl of Asia" is one of the most fertile and produces some of tho finest fruit in the world. Smyrns. figs and raislns are house. hold terms. The country also yields the finest leaf tobacco known. The yearly exports to America amount to millions of dollars.
 The Treaty of Sevres placed Smyrna under Greek administration. with the proviso that after five years the pop ulation might express it's preference for either Turk or Greek control.
 Although 1t has a population of up- ward of 400.000 and Is considered by both Turks and Greeks as one of the most modern cities in Asia, smyrna to the visitor is disappointing and un- attractive. Its narrow, winding, crudely- -cobbled streets give off an offensive odor, Its drainage system Is deplorably inadequate. Its trans portation and lighting facilities. too, are woefully defective. There is only a single tram, and that consists of a single track None-horse line along the water front. M#
 Hotels Sad Affairs
 HA Then SInyrna's hotels are sad af- fairs. The most modern of them is 40 years old None of them would do credit to the smallest town in the United States.
 When King Constantine came here, the best accommodations the authori- ties could get for hi mwa sa small S-room terra cotta house that any farmer in America farmer would own. The King and his ministers were not here two days before they were all most driven out by bugs and mos quitoes.
 The city has few places of amuse- ment, There are two or three indif- ferent moving picture theatres and numerous coffee houses. All over the Near East the coffee house" is an institution. Here the population sits all day slipping Turkish coffee, drink ing oozo Ga drink that tastes like aniseed), and talking politics.
 The natives az rule are primitive, indolent. and superstitious. They carry conversation beads to beguile the time. These they finger and fun ble by the hour The visitor might imagine the holders of the beads were at prayer. Even the horses wear these curious conversation beads. But in these cases they are used to keep away. as the natives be- lieve, the "evil eye" from the animal

REGISTRATION RUNS
 HIGH AT COLLEGE

The first day of registration at Birmin gham- Southern college ran far higher than was expected by the of ficials in charge. Dr. Snavely stated that many freshmen entered who were not expected.
 The dormitory reservations were all taken early and many students were forced to seek rooms outside. The. total enrolment figures are not forthcoming yet, but indications point to the greatest number in the history of the institute.
