GOLD IMPORTS
To US. REACHED
PEAK IN 1921
America, land Of Golden Dreams,
Gained $71O,OOo,OOO in
FIow-Exports SIumped.
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
International News Service.


International News Service.
America. looked upon abroad as the
land of Golden Dreams more than
earned that sobriquet during 1921.
Approximately $4,000, 900 worth of
gold flowed into American Golfers
from other nations of the world during
the last year, 1t was learned today at
the Department of Commerce. The
sold importations Melted a gain in
Uncle Sans gold supply of s6S7 ,000. 900
as gold exports during the year totaled
only 1923 200. 900.
The flow Of gold to American shores
during 1921 was the heaviest in his.
tory, reports showed. 1t totaled an
increase of more than 70 per cent over
the imports of 1920, and more than
rine times the amount imported in
1919.
Government agents attributed the
tremendous increase to payments Of
war contracts by foreign nations under
agreements which called for gold. The
low rate Of exchange, affecting every
ration trading with this country ex.
cepting Canada, made gold payments
HeCeSSlty, IL was Stdteu.
Gold Export Low.
At the same time American trade
greatly reduced shipments Of gold
abroad. The years export figures
were only trifle more than per
cent of the total for the previous year,
and less than per cent of the amount
exported in 1919. The 1920 exports
totaled 1922 900. 900 and the 1919 fig.
.,
the 1900. 900 last year.
Silver imports during the year
tctaled s62, 100000, a reduction Of
$4,000, 900 over the previous year. De.
partment experts declared the loss in
silver imports was due to the wide
spread use Of gold in international com.
merce in preference to any other cur.
rtncy.
At the same time, silver exports
s!umped greatly. The exports for 1921
totaled $40, $780, 900 less than one .half
the exports Of 1920 when s113,616 900
loft our shores. The outstanding fea.
ture of the movement Of silver was
that the imports were larger than ex.
ports for the first time In years. There
was a gain last year in the nations
silver supply Of s13,370,000 compared

Peak Reached In March.
Indications at the close of the old
year pointed to sharp decreases In gold
imports during the new year. The
peak of 1921 was reached in March.
although the second highest monthly
average was made in August. Toward
the end of the year, however, imports
declined.
The peak month in gold exports was
October, when almost one.third the
years supply was sent abroad. The
next highest monthly shipment was
rnade in July. while at the close OF
the year, shipments were smaller.

George White, who accidentally fell into a pot of boiling asphalt near Tombstone on Tuesday afternoon died yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock at the c. & A. hospital from the burns that he received It was the opinion of the doctors up until a short time before White died that he stood a good chance for recovery. He was conscious until a short time before he died He suffered considerable from his burns. No funeral arrange ments have been made as yet pending word from relatives.
 White was brother of l.. White of Miller and White, who has the paving contract between here and Tomb stone.
 J. J. Sullivan, who rescued White from the hot asphalt, was reported at the Copper. Queen hospital last eve ming as doing nicely. His hands are not seriously burned and will not be disfigured as was first reported. The burns, according to physicians, are what they term first degree"
 Residents of Tombstone and mem bers of the paving crew, were yester- day preparing to submit report of Sullivan's heroism to the Carnegie Hero Flung.
 Alex McBeth and Frank Camubell, who witnessed the incident, were loud in praise Of Sullivans bravery and quick action.
 White screamed for help as he plunged into the boiling asphalt and Sullivan rushed to his aid. Wrapping his legs around standpipe over the big vat, Sullivan swung down and plunged his arms into the boiling as phalt three times before securing a grip on White and dragging him from fhe pot

Edison Official Foresees New Era of
Soaring Prices.

NEW YORK, February 15.-A new
era of soaring prices during 1922 was
predicted by William Maxwell. first
vice president of Thomas A. Edison.
Inc. in an address before the Edison
Jobbers' Association.
Extraordinary expenditures by
states and municipalities for public
works, probable similar expenditures
by the federal government and the
soldier bonus plan,. il adopted, would
combine to bring about a secondary
period of imitation" he declared.
II don't think it is a good thing"
he continued. but il seemingly is
inevitable. And the plans of business
men should take IL into account.
II expect the prices of practically
all commodities to strengthen ma
terially and ! shall not be surprised
if we see $3.50 wheat. 75-cent corn
and 20-cent cotton by July 1. Quite
ohyiousiy, increased business activity

DISKS TO REPLACE GIRLS.
Electric Contrivance to Deliver
Goods Over Counter.

NEW YORK. February l5.-The
future retail store where package
goods are sold will be place of push
buttons. slot machines and chutes,
according to DR.. Van Antwerp Clark.
engineer, and inventor He has
demonstrated his latest invention. a
machine that will deliver merchan-
disc to customers by electricity.
Operated by sales girls in large
stores, he says. it will save the
services Of IS per cent of the girls,
and will do away with shoplifting.
The machinery is quite simple.
Imagine stacks of packages of goods
lined up on the wall of a store, some
thing like packages of cigarettes are
lined up in the chain stores. Lead
ing from these stacks are chutes
which end at the saIesgirl's or sales
mans desk. At the desk is laid
around which appear disks indicat-
ing each brand of-cigarettes Of other
goods sold in the place. There is a
push Key to. make the electric con-
tact Turn the dial to No. 5. meaning
Jazzbo cigarettes, press the key and
an electric pusher in front of the
Jazzbo stack fings a package of the
cigarettes into the chute and down 1t
slides to the customers waiting
If a customer wants three or four
kinds OF cigarettes contact is made
with each disk. the key is pressed
and out come three or four packages.
Customers are not kept waiting and
speed and efficiency are increased.
Another form Of the machine is
one in which the customer waits on
himself. dropping his coins into the
opening provided and setting the
disks for the goods desired
By means Of an electric control. an
arrangement for coin valuation is
provided, in the automatic machine
so that a man making purchases of
40 cents may drop eight nickels, four
dimes. or a quarter. dime and. a
nickel into the machine. If,a bogus
coin Of any magnetic or non-mag-
netic nature is dropped into the ma
chine 1t will be elected. All coins
are examined on q score of fifty
points by the machine before the
goods are delivered. II a coin fails
| to correspond to one of the points it
is rejected. The coins must be fairly
perfect and of the proper weight.
Goods can be delivered at the rate
Of six customers minute from one
control desk.
