SWISS MONEY POPULAR,
BUSINESS DEMORALZED
BY HENRY WOOD

| (united Press Staff Correspondent. }
GENEVA, Jan. 23--Entirely against
her own interests and her own wishes,
switzerland Is engaged in merry
little warfare with the United States
to see whether the Swiss frame or the
American dollar shall become the in
ternational unit Of value In the settle
ment of international obligations.
Much to her regret, Switzerland Is
forced to admit there is every indica- :
ton that the Swiss franc is going to
win out, at least as far as the inter-
, national monetary standard for Eu-
ropean countries Is concerned. The
American dollar will probably retain
It's place as the most stabilized cur
rency in big inter-continental and
worldwide affairs.
The prestige which the Swiss franc
Is thus gaining, is having the most
disastrous effects on the economic
life of the little republic. The big
demand has the effect of keeping the
Swiss frame almost constantly at ita
par value, cutting down Swiss expor-
tations In the most extreme degree and
sending up the cost of living without
any offset in the way of deprecated
plentiful currency, as in all of the
surrounding countries.
Without question Germany has been
the most guilty country In buying up
and making payments In Swiss francs.
Hundreds of great German war
private fortunes took steps at the close
of the war to get their billions changed
into Swiss currency. Then, when
Germany had to buy foreign moneys
for meeting international obligations,
the Swiss franc was closest to her
door.
In tho meantime, nearly everybody
of great fortune in the countries crow
ing out of the breakup of the old
Austro-Hungarian monarchy, began
CLEANSING their countless but almost
worthless millions Of Austrian kronen,
or Slovnkian, Hungarian or what-not
paper into Swiss francs. Then the big
exporters of all the Central European
countries began demanding payment
of all International contracts and OBJ
legation In Swiss currency, Ii was the
currency closest to home which still
retained n fixed value. The result has
been that the Swiss franc has become
the generally accepted basis Of settle
ment OF all International obligations.
II has become Europe's international
currency.

That's all, Miss Small" said, after
several more attempts 20 trap her.
Thank you'
The azure eyes sought mine in ques-
tioning appeal. I avoided them, turning
to the apparatus. The results Of the ex-
animation could not be divulged now.
So the examinations continued and
finally we came to the gorgeous girl,
Georgia Long, the reigning belle Of the
X. S. U.
No one could have been more COM
posed, no one more charming than Miss
Georgia.
The preliminary questions were an
swered almost before they were asked.
She seemed to be thinking Just one jump
ahead of me all the time. 1t was evident
that she was expecting a catch question.
The conventional preface that had puz-
zled many of the girls, was transparency
itself to the brilliant scholar.
The tracings of the pens on the paper
roll were so regular that they indicated
wonderful control of the breathing func-
ton and remarkable heart tongue.
1t was shame to accuse this girl of
theft!
did you steal Miss Hopes damond?"
The heartbeat pen stopped, cut low,
jagged path on the paper and then traced
V shaped pattern on the sooty surface
The breathing Indicator spurted upward,
dropped and executed an erratic design.
But the denial came quickly, almost be-
fore the question had been finished.
I raised my eyes to the girls face
The long lashes curved down, hiding her
velvet eyes for second; then she was
smiling.

ingenious instrument.

Marjorie Small was the first one to be
called into the captains room, where the
apparatus was set up.
She was seated in big chair. A rub.
her tourniquet was fastened over her
chest and another was placed around her
right arm.
DR.. Larson explained the working Of
the instrument and suggested to Miss
Small that she breathe deeply. Larson
then pointed to the zgzagging of an
linked line on roller in the machine
which marked the beats of her heart.
Now I will ask you few questions.
Please answer yes or no, only. Do you
like college life, Miss Small?"
The girl looked from DR.. Larson to
myself, surprised at the irrelevancy of
the question. The two needles, working
up and down on the paper, actuated by
the beating of her heart and her breath
ing, showed no deviation from the normal
as she answered in the affirmative.
Other conventional questions followed:
Are you fond Of dancing? Do you
enjoy books? Are your surroundings con-
genial?"
The slight girl with the eyes of
dreamer sat in the chair with downcast
face, answering the immaterial queries
in low tone The preliminary remarks
tended to quiet her. The steady monot-
onous bass voice Of DR.. Larson droning
on so kindly caused her to lift her head
and attempt to smile.
For the first time in my life found
myself hoping that Larson would not
ask that damning question. Yet he must,
sooner or later.

Another test on the "lie detector" was
arranged and Georgia Long and Miss
Small were among the ten who appeared.
The results absolved the Small girl be-

sion was the most remarkable ever re-

swarmed the Berkeley police station and
filled its unusually stale atmosphere with
the odors of perfume and the crinkle of
silks.
All the girls, with the exception of
Miss Small, dressed as II for holiday.

murm ured.

Miss Ashs ewes were dilatcd with
excitement and she actually wriggled
for Joy.
"The, other night she told me she
was broke-that she had to get
money some way"
"There!" snapped Mrs. Brock. what
more do you want than that?"
She cast her eyes over the crowd. Then
she beckoned to a tall, handsome girl. a
magnetic creature, about whom the others
seemed to gravitate There was Difference

Georgia Long.
81 know nothing about this" said the
girl. revealing eyes of purple velvet by
the lifting of long lashes. Her voice was
soft and vibrant, soothing like the purr
Of cat.
A chatter of protest arose from the
others.
why, Georgia, you know what you
told me?" cried Miss Ash
Georgia, gorgeous creature that she
was, did not deign to look at the ex-
uberant blonde. Instead she fixed her
eyes on my face.
Il saw her enter another girls room
and take book" she said slowly. But
I don't think she is guilty"
SSH warned some one Here she
is"
At that moment Marjorie Small came
into the room.
Several girls turned their backs on her
deliberately. Others stared insolently
with curled lips.
| glanced at the house mother. Her
face wore bitter expression. She raised
her head coldly, accusingly, as the big
blue eyes of Miss Small were turned to
her in appeal.
I read the story of suffering in the
girls face.
She was small, delicate, with great
lambert, dreamy eyes that now and then
took on a vague expression. She had the
face Of dreamer.
The pain in her apprehensive glance,
the pathetic droop of her mouth and the
nervous way she had of wringing her
hands belied the defiant toss of her head,
If she is thief it's the strangest case
l ever saw" l was thinking, when the
house mother spoke.
Miss Small This is the Chief of Po-
lice" said the house mother, deliberately.
The effect on the girl was terrific. A
gasp escaped her as she took backward
step. The pumping of her heart tiicked
two crimson marks across her cheeks
and left them pale. She caught at her
lips with hand that trembled.
Just tell us what you know about
this" I suggested, speaking very low.
"All Of your friends have had something
to say, Miss Small. Now we would like
to hear from you"
The timid youngster was treasured.
She smiled up at me.

queried. ooh. yes. have heard the girls

showed only five millimeters variation"
few days later Miss Long camo to
the police station and asked for DR.. Lar
son. She was told that the doctor was
out.
Unexpectedly he called on her at the
K. S. U.
II just wanted to have you ask Graham
to come in and see the chief the next
time you meet him in San Francisco" he
said.
A slow tide of crimson suffused the
girls face
Graham" she gasped. "Who told you
about Graham? Oh, what have you been
doing? Tell me-"
But DR.. Larson would not tell her.
Three days later trembling, fearful
girl, pride broken, brushed through the
swinging gate of the station and entered
my office.
"Oh, why are they following me?" she
cried. This is terrible"
1t Is also terrible for Marjorie Small,
who is suffering untold fortunes because
Of unjust suspicion said sharply.
She buried her head in her arms
among thespapers on my desk and sobbed.
What are you going to do with me?"
she asked.
IF you can arrange restitution, moth
ing will be done," assured her. 1--WE
will help tide you through I'm sure
you'll avoid such trouble in the future"
And so Georgia Long wrote out con-
fession, acknowledging that she was a
thief. In it she cleared Marjorie Small
of all blame.
She had needed the money, she con-
fessed. The other life that she had been
leading clandestinely had absorbed her
regular allowance.
And all this came about because could
