quantity of gold, her reserve is ap preaching double that figure, and she is rapidly reaching the point where every dollar of purchasing power on the Continent could be replaced by gold of it's face value.
 Danger Dorman Now
 "As long as the gold is untouched the danger is dormant. But if, when an improvement occurs in trade, busi ness men seek large increases in credit the Federal Reserve Board may be tempted to lower this reserve ratio so as to give them all that their am bilious programs may require. They do any harm to let the reserve down by points and initiate the note issue accordingly.
 This may have much the same eff feet as if there were Government press printing paper marks.
 'Let us suppose that they succumf to the suggestion. Credit becomes more plentiful because the ratio re serve is lowered. More paper dol lars are available, so that prices rise with the result that dollar note no longer buys the old quantity o goods. Imitation sets in, with the sub sequent Nemesis.
 Perils of Imitation "Workmen demand higher wages and strikes come, with their inevitable consequences of economic deadlocl and the subsequent collapse of indus | try.
 l Thus the undulations of industry are made more severe, whereas thu desire of everyone is to introduce { greater stability in trading condition! over the passage of years. What we want to do is to avoid tht severity of trade cycles, for every spasm of artificial influence lead! l further away from the desired object Every burst of imitation raises many new social difficulties, and just as we are getting into the comparatively level waters after the rough seas o the war we naturally dread new dis turbances which may arise in this way.
 We can only hope that the bank ing authorities in the United States realize the responsibility they have to the world in the way in which they handle their gold problem"

LEGACY REVEALS ROMANCE
 SM0ULDERMC FORTY YEARS

UTICA, N. Y, April 10. - Forty years or so ago Mrs. Elizabeth Elmer Bailey, of this city, and Lewis Wallace were childhood sweethearts. Then events separated them. Today, after thirty years of silence,
 Mrs. Bailey has received word that she is the principal legatee of Wallace, who, dying recently in California, left her his extensive fruit farm and ranching properties, worth a small fortune.
 When 15 years old, Mrs. Bailey was the playmate and sweetheart of Lewis. As affection grew and deepened came anxiety, also, to the boy. He had no money; the solution was to make his fortune and that quickly. The wis dom of Horace reeley had summed up in few words, destined to become a
 saying, the trend of the times-"Go West, young man, go West!" And Lewis left, young and ardent and op- timistic, to return some day to take a
 blushing bride there with him, or per haps to stay here,
 For two years he wrote regularly, and Elizabethe answered. Then sill encs ensued, one to be maintained for

BALDNESS, OBESITY,
 NOT MODERN CURSE
Aged Medical Book Prescribes Pana cea for Reducing Grth and
 Nursing Hirsute

LIMA, Ohio, April 1O - Cures for badness and systems for reducing waists were advertised so far back as 1755. A medical book, compiled by John Wesley, of Methodism fame, on display in the Hardin County Court house, gives the following advice tc bald men of long ago:
 Rub the bald part morning and evening with onions till it is red and rub it afterwards with honey"
 The following recommendation to fat men and women, wishing to re. duce, is contained in the aged book:
 "Use total vegetable diet. know one who was entirely cured of this by living thus: She breakfasted and supped milk and water (with bread) and dined on turnips, carrots and other roots. drinking water"

35 years, without even rumor or a chance word brought by any round. about way to relieve it. Perhaps in the struggle to gain a fortune, to which he dedicated himself, the means obscured the end, and he forgot the young New York State girl. Perhaps another swain gradually replaced Lewis in her affections. Who knows the secrets of the heart, for who would lightly divulge them?
 At all events, silence came and stayed and then was broken by the curt and formal-looking letter which briefly stated that Elizabeth Elmer Mrs. Bailey's maiden name-was lega tee to a fine fruit ranch, with broad acreage. And even in it's tenor, if not in phraseology, the letter spoke of a love that was matured throughout the years.
 Elizabeth, at the age of IS, moved 10 Hamilton with her family and in due time became bride, being mar ried in Earlville to A. K. Bailey. She has a daughter. She intends, in May or June, to go to California and take up residence on the ranch, which she may make her permanent hsme.

NEW YORK, April 10. - Financial experts estimate that approximately is in America at the present time. This amounts to about $4,000000, ,000.
The Cordova daily times., 1923-04-10

experts estimate that approximately 55 per cent of the worlds gold supply is in America at the present time. This amounts to about $4,000,000, ,000.
 LONDON, April 10.-That great stock of gold is a real danger to a country instead of being a security is the belief of Sir Josiah Stamp, fore most economist. Sir Josiah, who framed the economic clauses of the Treaty of Versailles, was assistant secretary of the Board of Inland Rev enue from 1916 to 1919.
 "Now that the greatest assembling of gold that the world has ever seen has been deposited in the vaults of New York" says Sir Josiah, "far-see- ing men and women on both sides Of the Atlantic are beginning to realize a remarkable paradox.
 "This enormous store of the pre- cious metal does not make for wealth or safety. It does not make lighter the burden of the people of the United States; it lays them open to inumer- able problems.
 Enormous Gold Reserve
 "The United States Government to- day possesses nearly half the total supply of the worlds gold, according to the latest report of MT. w. c. Criss- finger, the Comptroller of Currency This does not necessarily mean that America is better clothed, or housed or fed than we in Britain. You can not eat gold. You cannot make II into clothes. You cannot build houses of it. Gold is, in fact, almost use less thing when it comes to minister ing to the real needs of a human being. Its chief function is to serve as the foundation for the structure of credit and as basis of value and ex' change.
 "This gold must either be kept in formally, and have an enormous effect upon prices, or it must go out Of the country to purchase goods.
 "The whole economic structure or America has been tending to become that of an exporting country, and, or course, her tariffs are based in that way against imports, whereas, with the payment of a debt by Britain, ana also the advisability of exchanging this gold for goods, she is now almost inviting an influx of goods, which must go against her whole economic inclination.
 Must Keep 1t
 "She will naturally not like sending the gold out of the country to receive goods in exchange. That would raise a howl against the tariff at once. Therefore, she is driven to keeping it within her own country. It it leaves her vaults and goes into general use it will have the effect of vastly in- creasing prices unless there is an enormous increase in production.
 "But there is an even more insidious danger-that the possession of this quantity of gold may lead the Federal Reserve Board largely to initiate cur rency. When the bullion is unloaded in harbor it is carried to the vaults for safe keeping, and then it remains in reserve.
 "Supposing the percentage of re. serve under abnormal conditions in America to be 40 per cent, this means that for every $10O of purchasing power and credit in circulation she has $40 in gold wherewith to back 1t. But today. owing to the enormous

Big Postal Deficits.
Postmaster Generals from earliest
DAYS have looked forward to the time
when the postoffice department would
pay its way. And when one of them
few years ago announced that he
had finished the year with a surplus
it was only to draw a denial from the
succeeding administration that it was
surplus OF bookkeeping only-that
balances had shifted, and that as usual
the department had gone behind. The
deficit for the present fiscal year will
likely run somewhere between 81 and
IS million dollars. The postmaster
general says that ''the department is
gradually approaching point where
its budget is come pretty near bal
ancing" He adds cautiously: But
we haven't reached that time yet"
Other heads of the department said
the same optimistic things in the years
gone by, and as Marc Antony said,
they were "all honarble men" But
they were all carried away with po-
litical optimism, and while they saw
how the postoffice department could
be made to pay none of them ever fig
ured out rates of postage to bring it
about 1t was hard enough in the days
before the parcel post. but with that
branch of the service weighted by
rates that are so low that the rest OF
the service cannot take up the losses,
there is little probability that the
dreams OF budget that balances
will be true.
