Status of Foreign Currency Loans

While the Administration at Wash
lnPton has no hard and fast rule
against Offering in this country for
e1Gn currency loans, it is understood
to troWn upon any great volume Of
such hotations a rather fine distinc-
tion is said by bankers to be observ-
able in chc governments attitude in
that less objection is taken to loans Of
this character when issued by foreign
Goyernments than by foreign munici-
palities or corporations. The ditreren-
tiatlon is based upon tho theory that
the governments have power to check
imitation Of currency, whereas this is
beyond the power of other borrowers.
Dlscouragement of foreign currency
loans Is favored by some bankers on
the grounds that most countries arc
20 far from gold basis that specula
ton almost balances investment in
such operations. and. further, that con-
siderable risk of taxation is incurred

pressed in authoritative quarters that
the advance would hold throughout the
trade when the coal strike is over and
they arc again in the market for new
business. The cause Of the advance
was explained by the TACT that many
smaller concerns do not own blast
furnaces and rolling mills and are
compelled to 60 into the market FOR

Berton Braley's Poem

Ethyl is charmer who makes
your blood run warmer,
She's quit intoxicating in her
spiritual way;
Too much OF her society means
.,ii' Constant inebriety,
At times she makes you happy
but you pay for 1t mex,
day,
Ethyl Is perfidious. nlt>~lgh her
works. insidious;
She doesn't wreck you quickly,
but she gets you just the
same,
She vamps you very slowly, but in
time she owns you wholly,
And she leads you down to
poverty and heastliness
and shame.
Methyl is a villain who's out to
!, make u KILN"
He's nothing less than poison Of
the very rankest kind;
You cannot toy with Methyl fol-
his slightest little breath'll
Upset your inner workin's and
quite often make you blind
Besides It's true that Methyl so
much resembles Ethyl
That only to pharmacist IL
any difference known.
And either one may frolic in a
potion alcoholic,
So-anyone who's sapient will
leave them both alone

BRINGING LANDLORDS 10 TIME.

NEW YORK recently passed law forbdding

children The refusals Of landlords to rent apart

ample means to pay the rent required, and men
whose families were families OF refinement
unable 10 ind rooms or apartments In which
the wife and children might be installed In
fact an apartment, or even house could hardly
be rented at all by families with even one child.

With a wholesale withdrawal of renters every time

that landlords became and more marble

Now that all landlords have to bow to the law
