Even international trade among
these central European countries is
carried on on the barter basis. If
the merchants can't get dollars in
exchange for their goods then they
demand goods. Russia exchanges
tobacco with Germany for manufac-
tured goods. Poland exchanges manu-
factured goods with 5Ukrainia for
wheat, Germany exchanges steel for
milk in Holland.
Vienna is becoming more or less
of n center for international barter
among countries. and indeed do
mestic barter is such an accepted
custom there that certain streets are
devoted to it on certain days. Here
one secs sewing machines exchanged
for flour and china for clothes, silver
sets for cloth, in fact anything from
loaf of bread to an automobile.
At tho best. though. il is clumsy
method and not much better than
the present chaotic exchange. for it
stands to reason that every ship
ment OF a commodity 20 a small
country would decrease the demand
for that special article and the
standard of exchange would have to
be revised In Russia, for instance,
an attempt was made 10 make a
pood Of wheat the standard. but as
the wheat disappeared the table had
20 be altered until il was found
worthless. However. Russia at the
present time claims TO be on grain
standard instead Of gold standard.
The postwar re version 10 this old
system has certa My proved that
our system of international ex-
change was really the result of an
economic need and not due TO artifi-
cial standards of vslue. II is only

Bv ELIZABETH SHERMAN.

rN countries where printers
strike can seriously affect
finance no one has much faith
in the money, so before the one-hail
of Europe was emancipated from
harter most of the other half had
fa,,en into if again. Each day finds
the money of less value in central
ard eastern Europe, and since ,tne
war the prices of the necessities Oh
life have almost automatically regu-
lated themselves to the falling eX-
changes until they cost about the
same as in the United States. IL Is
true that Europe has been Mecca
for bargain hunters, but only for
those who were out for luxuries and
not for seekers after bread and
cheese. It's bread that costs as
much in Europe as it does in Amer
ica, and it's an old master or piece
of rare lace that can be had for a
song.
So when the Russian ruble sells
for two and a half million to the
dollar bread sells in the same pro-
portion at about three hundred
thousand rubles a pound. This
is true in Austria. Hungary and Po-
land as well as Germany. Even at
the rate money is being printed
there are few millionaires, so in or
der to eat one must exchange some
thing he has on hand for what he
needs.
"If you want service here" an old
time tourist tipped me off as L
started out, don't tip in money.
Give them cigarettes, socks, hair
pins, in fact anything but paper
money, unless that money be in dol
lars" That was in Italy, where the
money is still worth something.
The peasants were the first to re-
vert to barter. After they literally
had barrels of paper money and set
out to invest it, thus finding what
little value it had. they decided they
must establish new prices. A litre
of milk-a quart-for a pair of
stockings, a package of hairpins or
some thread. City people had to
eat, so ALMOST everything movable
found its way to the country to be
exchange for food. But there were

Farmers Won Out.

The farmers finally won out. The
dispute was brought into Federal
jurisdiction on the ground that de-
bris from the mines was shoaling a
navigable river over which WASH
ington had control. The matter was
under discussion in Congress when
Mr.. Hearst became Senator, and
some amendments he added to the
anti-debris bill saved the placer min
ing industry, although it cost it a
pretty pot of gold to take care of it's
debris.
The old dispute about Chinese la
Dor extended it's sweep to the Ha-
waiian Islands, not as problem for
Congress, for nominally this country
had no more to do with Hawaii's
domestic affairs than with Great
Britain's. But it gave handle for
some who profited by its use to ap-
ply "the Chinese must 60 slogan
to Hawaii's sugar plantations. The
treatment of Chinese on the islands
was all right or all wrong, according
to whose story one listened to;
therefore the Cali sent me to Hawaii
to write some pieces on the subject.

ton, but what I know about the

disagreement with King Kalakaua
over the leasing of crown lands on
the island, or some such matter,
which created a situation bad for
the islands and bad for lot of San
Francisco capital. The best diplo-
mat 1 ever met-and I met many

when, later, / was a member of the
Foreign Affairs Committee of the
House of Representatives also
on the steamship with six days in
which to talk over the matter in dis
pute with Mr.. Spreckels before we
landed in Kalakaua's domain. That
man was George McFarlane, Kala-
kaua's Chamberlain, who had ac-
companied the King on his famous
tour of the world, during which tour
Queen Victoria commanded that in
her domain Kalakaua should be re-
ceived with every official and social
recognition paid to any visiting mon
arch. Therefore, other royal courts
following the Queens example, Kala-
kaua had nice party the world
around. I've always thought the
Hawaiian King was indebted to the
preliminary diplomacy of his astute
Chamberlain for that official and
social triumph. Anyway, recon-
ciliation between the Sugar King and
the Island King was brought about,
and 1 was one of the guests invited
commanded, I mean-to attend a
breakfast at the royal seaside cot
tage on the beach at Waikiki to sig
nalize the resumed friendly relations.
A Royal Audience.
Before that, through the good Of
fees of my friend the Chamberlain, 1
was present at the Honolulu palace
when the King gave an audience to
an Ex-Governor of West Virginia.
An interesting bit of psychology
was revealed at that audience. Be-
cause Kalakaua was dark skinned
the Governor, a Southerner, could
not adjust his mental focus so as
to see in Kalakaua a man to be
treated conformably to his rank, the
rank accorded at every court in
Europe, not determined by the shade
Of his skin. The King was not slow
IN discovering tnlS, anu IL ehhuSeu
him, and he seemed to enjoy, in a
dignified way, reminding the Gov
ernor that he was talking to sure
enough King, however dark his skin
and small his kingdom.
After he had delivered a long lee
ture on certain faults, as he saw
them, in the form of the Hawaiian
Government, the Governor trium-
phantly pointed out to the King that
opposition could be formed in his
Parliament which would spill all the
royal beans
"But, Governor, our veto?' the
King suggested, smiling.

Gold, Sugar and Politics

"Ah. as have pointed out to you
such a coalition as 1 have described
could gain a majority in both houses
large enough to pass a measure over
your Veto"
''In your study of our form Of
government, Governor" replied the
King, you have overlooked the fact
that our prerogatiye of veto is abso-
lute.'
The Governor blinked.

one of its consequences, the Gov
ernor was figure in dance We
had in the cocoanut grove in which
the royal cottage was situated. The
noon breakfast party was superb,
served within a few yards of the
beach, in a park of cocoanut and
palm trees; the stage setting was
right, the cook was a Gordon bleu,
and a connoisseur could have found
no fault with the wines. The King,
a handsome, well informed man, was
an agreeable host. Mr.. Spreckels
seemed glad that a peace had been
signed, the wreaths of flowers
thrown around our necks as we en-
tered the cottage were fresh and
fragrant, and when cigars were
lighted we adjourned to the grove
to see some native feats and sports.
Pelt Governor With Nuts.
There were twenty or more native
'boys" laughing and playing in the
grove, and three or four of them
were ordered to climb cocoanut trees
and send down some nuts. Their
climbing was merely running on
their hands and feet, for only the
palms of hands and soles of feet
touched the trees as they scam
pered up. Reaching the point just
under the leaves where the nuts
grow they caught stems between
toes and with kick sent the nuts
down, flying.
Then the dance began. 1t was a
solo. Neither a well directed nor a
vagrant nut came near any one ex-
cept the Governor. First one
grazed him and he stepped aside
with dignity; two grazed him, one
on each side, and he nimbly hoped
forward; came a rain of nuts in his
direction and he did a danse eccen-
trique. The natives, those on the
ground and those aloft, were shout
ing with laughter while the guests
remained discreetly serious. Only the
King and his grave Chamberlain
seemed not to see until the Governor

Not only useful services are being
exchanged for food and clothing. In
Russia most of the actors and sing
ers are being paid in this way. One
American humorist said that when

been offered he wanted to be sure
of the dough.

Charlotte's face is free from the

woman instincts.

Yesterday her mood and manner and

It is all analogous to William James
