SAY KING MAY
VISIT DUBLIN
Report He May go There to
Formally Open New Irish
ParIiam ent

, LONDON, Dec. Z (By The Asso-
ciated Press).-A suggestion that
King George may go to Dublin to
| open formally the new Irish parlia-
ment. as advanced by the Liverpool
Courier, seems based largely on sur
missed and partly on private rumors
although the possibility of the kings
presence has taken no definite
shape. 1t is safe to say that if Ire
land intimated such a visit would be
welcomed, the sovereign would ac-
quiesce. 1t is regarded as quite un-
likely, however, that his majesty
would take the initiative in the
matter.
According to a Dublin report,
King George sent a remarkable
message to Timothy Healy, the new
governor general, to which Healy is
said to have replied. This message,
the report says probably will be
the first given to the public by the
governor general, in an announce
ment in the parliament.
It is understood that Mr.. Healy
soon is to come to London for an
audience with the king whom, 1t is
believed, he did not see in con-
nection with his appointment to Of
fee. 1t is customary, although not
legally, necessary that the governor
of the British dominion be received
in audience upon the appointment,
when the ancient tormality OF kiss
ing the kings hand is observed as
an evidence of fealty.

Millions Placed at Interest
In New York and London

Lima, Peru, April 18.-Millions of
dollars in Peruvian gold, lying idle
in government repositories here as a
currency reserve, will be placed at in
terest in New York and London under
legislation adopted by the Peruvian
Congress to establish federal reserve
bank and revise the countrys financial
system.
The reserve bank act, patterned af-
ter similar legislation in the United
States, provides for an elastic curren-
cy which can not be tampered with.
Notes of the bank WI be payable in
gold in Peru, and in gold drafts in
New York and London. The institu-
tons reservoir of credit will be avail
able to any Peruvian bank I'm an
emergency, thus permitting private
financial institutions to extend great
or commercial accommodations from
their gold resources.
DR.. w. w. Cumberland, American
financial representative of the Peruvi-
an government, will be a permanent
member Of the new banks board of
directors.

Price of Beer Increasing

London, April 1.-THE ever-in-
creasing price of beer is worrying
England.
The foaming mug that once graced
even the most humble table is fast
getting beyond the reach of the poor
er families, and a reduction in taxa
ton is the onl ything that will bring
it back again, according to the chair
man of big London brewery.
By its excessive tax on cigars and
sparkling wines, the government eff
fectively killed the trade in these
commodities, he said, and beer will
be next to go. In 1914, the brewers
paid duty on 36,OOO,OOO barrels Of
beer, while in 1920, the amount has
shrunk to 25,OOO,OOO barrels. The
estimate for 1921, the brewer said, is
slightly less than 2l,OO0,000.

The perfectly good order that pre-
Walls at the campaign meetings being

worthy of commendation The respect

all that could be desired There are
two probable reasons, we believe, for

absence Of liquor and the presence of
the women. The large gatherings are
entirely sober and the large number
Of women attending is noticeable.
There is not as much cheering, not
as much noisy talking and there has,

We believe the people are thinking
and will come nearer to voting in ac-
cordance with their own convictions of
duty than they have ever before done.
And why should not the people take
seriously their right to the franchise? +?
Why should there not be brought to

Wrigley Jr.,
And Prosperity

That business is improving in the
East and that this condition is spread
ing to the Middle West by degrees, is
the opinion of William Wrigley, Jr.,
president of the William Wrigley, Jr.
Co., Chicago.
The good old American dollar is
coming back into it's own. People from
one end Of the nation to the other are
getting around to the idea that the
only basis for real prosperity is an
honest days work for fair days
wage.
The United States as whole has
been on business spree for the past
five years. Prices. up to recently,
were out of all sense of proportion Tor
the value received.
The greatest cure for hard times,
get to work and keep money and
goods circulating.
"The year 1921 was regarded as a
pretty bad period for lots of concerns
in the East and Middle West" said
Mr.. Wrigley. "For us it was the
best year in the so years / H.. ye been
in the chewin" rum manufacturing in
dustry.

wide basis, or even in the locality en-
compasscd within few blocks, you
have got to keep the people interested
