and Activity Tapers OFF

From the standpoint OF interest and
significance, happenings in the foreign
exchange mart yesterday we're in the
aseendancy over events in tho other
principal financial trading departments
Sterling, whose strength over the last
fortnight has been one OF the out
standing facts Of that period In the
Wall Street section, made a further
spurt In its movement toward parity
largely due 20 buying originating here
and apparently associated with legiti-
mate needs. The new peak achieved
in the recovery was tt-5aH for cables
contrasting with the low Of SS.ls
reached In February. 1920, and only
some 80 cents below normal.
Attention Of traders In the foreign
exchanges wss divided between
sterling and lire 70 the exclusion OF
most other curreneies. The quotations
OF lire wero equally as buoyant as
sterling and carried above FIVE cents
whereas only a short time ngo It was
lowering below four cents. The rise
In lire began with the change In gov
ernment at Rome and has persisted
since with slight interruption. It's
base, however sound the reasons for
regarding the political shift as favor
able. is not looked upon as 50 we'll con-
structed as that upon which the rise
in sterling has been built Much
speculation Is reported in lire, which Is
more subject than sterling to opera
tions Of this kind because OF its
relatively lesser stability. Francs did
not share in the upward trend and the
absence Of uniform action was ae-
ceptsd In authoritative quarters as In
dIcativs that the rise IN British and
italian eurrencies did not arise from
hopes in tho outcome Of the Brussels
conference. Il was recalled that the
Genoa conclAvs and the subsequent
meeting Of the premiers were pre-
ceded by strength IN the foreign eT-
change market, common, however, q
all the major curreneies.
In the securities markets the sss'
slon was without meaning from the view
point Of tho long trend. Stocks were
subjected 10 q certain measure OF
profit taking and the larger psrt OF
point was clipped from the recovery
in the average price level made last
week The irregular course Of trad
ing and the predominanes Of declines
were also consequences OF the
failure Of speculation for the advance

THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 2l, 1922

1t took the people of Georgia
less than two years to tire of
Governor Thos. w. Hardwick. In
the Democratic primary few
days ago he was beaten for an
other term by former Attorney
General Clifford Walker. The
Times does not know whether
Hardwick has made good gov
ernor. or not. His friends say
that he has; his opponents say
that he has not. However that
may be, his opponents outnumber
his friends and their judgment
found effective expression at the
ballot box. The singular thing to
many is that Harding was ever
elected governor, especially since
his election followed so closely
upon his defeat for reelection to
the United States senate, which
was brought about, it was stated
at the time, by his non-support
Of the government in the World
war. He was classed as anti
Wilson and ariti-everything else
tending to promote the success OF
the country's cause in the war.
he made common cause with
Tom Watson in fighting the Will
son administration and the two
got the ear of SO many people in
Georgia that Hardwick landed
the .governorship while Watson
was corraling for himself seat
in the United States senate. Wat
son was the stronger of the two
and did much to elect Hardwick.
This year Watson turned upon
Hardwick because, one is led to
believe from press reports, the
governor is not in sympathy with
the Ku Klux Klan, while the.sen-
ator is understood to be friendly
to the organization and resented
Hardwick's opposition to it. That
may or may not have been the
cause of the break between the
!. former political buddies, but
whatever the cause, there is moth
ing surprising in it. 1t would
have been surprising, however,
had Hardwick succeeded in hold
ing the friendship of Watson,
who insists upon having his way
in everything and who has little
time Tor the man who disagrees
with him. Watson entered the
United States senate with great
blare of trumpets and led many
people to expect wonderful things
OF him. These people are now
nndeceived, since he has fallen
down on the job. Watson is a
man of outstanding ability in
many respects, but in one impor-
tant respect at least he is as weak
as circus lemenade--he is dis
gnstingly self-opinionated, as may
be learned by reading the arti-
cles he writes about himself in his
weekly paper.
Of course. it is more important,
that school boys learn all about
forward passes, end runs and all I
that sort of thing than it is that |
they take advantage of the op-
portunity the taxpayers have pro-
vided for them to learn the Eng

A New Way to Pay Debts.

COnjurnS tricks with bank notes
are being attempted by the Greek
government, says the Montreal Family
Herald. Finding itself faced with II
deficit on its budget of S14O.NU,DO and
with its military expenditure excluded
from this reckoning the government
brought in a bill for Il forced loan of
S3OO. O.OUOOUC. The loan will bear inter-
est at I per cent. and by an ingenious
device will he realized Immediately
and automatically. All the notes of
the national bank now in circulation
will be cut into halves, one of which
will remain in circulation and will
represent half the value of the whole
note, while the other half will he con-
yerted into Il bond of the loan and will
hear interest mt Z per. cent. The ma
tional bank will be obliged to lend
the state Immediately half the amount
obtained from the division of the
notes. The conditions of the loan do
not affect foreign securities.

VERY CLOSE TO THE TRUTH
Why the Boots Were Placed

I had been tramping through the
Virginia mud all day. and stopped at
the little inn. l was tired and I'M
mediately went to my room, n small
one with large bed occupying most
of the space. AS usual. placed my
shoes outside to be cleaned. Next
morning there they were. as muddy as
the night before. and being number
twelves. they carried considerable soil.

to teach the porter much-needed les
son l called him up before the OnlOok-
ers who were sitting in the office.
"Why didn't you clean my shoes,
bOy?" asked gruffly.
II didn't know you wanted 'em
cleaned, sah," was the reply.
"Why In thunder do you reckon l
put 'em outside the dOOr?"
"Well. sab. allowed there wasn't

The children and young girls Of

that the turned-back frill stands out

There is just slight difference In
this "begine" In each village. and 1t
soon becomes easy to tell just where
any peasant comes from.
In Mont ROnd. for Instance, the stiff
part of the beglne slopes back Mt n
rather acute angle, while In st. Jean
D'Arves the lace Of the beglne stands
up straight.
In st. Sorlin D'Arves the lace in the
front Of the beglne Is bent down fiat
and Its back Is sQunrer than that Of
st. Jean D'Arves. When 1t rains these
women put on over these caps very

place of our umbrella.
