GOLD SUPPLY LARGEST
 IN COUNTRIES HISTORY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15. - Gold held by the central banks of all principal world Powers now amounts to $7,851 900, ,000-a new record. This sum is an increase of $1,238, ,000,- 900 in two years. The increase is due to the fact that Governments by restrictive gold policies have brought gold out of hiding. Then there has been a steady flow of new gold from the mines.
 Of the worlds total the United States has 40 per cent or $3,170,- 00O,000. Most of this gold is in the possession of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks of the Federal Re- serve system, or in the vaults of the United States Treasury and it's branch Repositories. The grand total of all available gold does not in clude gold in Russia.
 The Federal Reserve Board is authority for the statement that the major part of Russian gold has found it's way into the reserves of other countries. Most of it has reached the vaults of the reserve banks in the United States. The Russian central reserve gold fund originally amounted to $787,000,000 in 1913.
 Americas gold holdings have risen at a tremendous rate since the great War. Total gold stocks in the United States in 1913 were $691,- 100000. Five years later it had increased to $2,245, 100000.
 Gold reserves of Great BritaiN and France have dropped consider ably in the past two years because of heavy shipments to the United States to pay obligations. Japan is absorbing much of the gold that is now going out of the United States. Japan now stands fourth in the list of principal gold holders.
 Since November, 1918, there has been shipped into the United States $7,290, 100000 in gold This came chiefly from England, France, Can- ada and Sweden. The total gold ex- ported in that period was $724;000,- 900 sent mainly to Japan, Argentina, China, Hongkong and British India.
 Since the armistice the balance of trade with South America and the Orient has been in favor of the Unit ed States and the stream of gold to those portions of the world has been somewhat checked
 Financial authorities believe that the movement of gold to the Unit ed States from existing stocks has about run it's course. At the present time the country is getting no more than the equivalent of new gold produced. Imports from Great Brit tain represent largely the output of the South African mines.

NOV 1 ES

NO Woman Knows. showing at the Empress Theater tonight is a hu- man document brilliantly and artisti- cally expressed. It was adapted for the screen from Fanny Herself" the powerful and dramatic novel by Edna Ferber.
 The story is that of typical Amer can family, owning small store and living in a provincial mid-western town. Sacrificing everything for a gifted son so that his musical talents may be developed, the middle class atmosphere of petty economies and frugal living is presented by the little family and their friends in an amaz- ingly realistic manner, the details of which provide the picture with humor- ous touches of homely truths needful for enlightening the emotional and dramatic climaxes that follow each other in quick succession.
 Fanny herself" the girl of the story, is portrayed by Mabel Julienne Scott, who thereby achieves new and high place in the photo-dramatic art. Miss Scott's portrayal of Fanny" can in no wise be compared with any pre- viOus presentations of portrayals of character on the screen. She has achieved the distinction of standing entirely alone as Fanny" and of hay ing transcended the barrier of screen silence by the potent power of panto- mime and emotional feeling.
 Miss Scott is supported by an ex- ceptionally capable cast including Earle Schenck; Grace Marvin, Joseph Swickard, Stuart Holmes, John David son, Max Davidson, E. A. Warren, Dick Cummings, Snitz Edwards Danny Hoy, Raymond Lee, Bernice Radon, Joseph Stearns, Dorothy Dehn and Flu genie Forde.
