THE PRINCE

q wait for Prince Charming" she said
Prince Charming, blithe, slender an,
With curly gold hair on his head
And gay honoyed words on his tongue
Oh, he will be handsome and tall
And he will be valiant and strong,
A Prince with the world at his call,
A figure of story and song!
Il wait for Prince Charming" she said,
"To set all my heart-strings athrum,
And ere many seasons have fled,
| know, oh know he will come!
He'll WOO me with glorious art,
With tenderness, passion and fire,
No other shall capture my heart
Or bring me the love l despe?'
He's fat and he's placid and short,
His wooing was clumsy and tame,
He's only a commonplace sort
Devoid of renown or acclaim;
And yet when she gazes at him,
He sets all her pulses astir,
For, thanks to Loves magical whim,
He's truly Prince Charming to herl

Oil Promises
ArOuseS Rumania

Bucharest, Nov. 80 CA. z. by MaiD
Oil is one of the big factors in
Rumanla'S dominant position in the
Balkans, and the governments de-
clsion to develop the Oil fields with
the aid of foreign capital will open
up. it is hoped. big economic pos
sibilities for the nation.
Economic necessity is now proving
or greater concern to Rumania than
political alliances and the practising
of unsound theories, such as maxi
mum prices, export taxes and other
restrictions at the expense of foreign
capital employed in the development
OF the countrys resources.
Runlania today has title to vast
areas of rich oil bearing lands, which
have been leased SO far only in small
lots to purely Rumanian companies.
The government now apparently
realizes that the best interests of
the country demand that these state
owned lands be intensive1y. developed,
and plans have been drawn up for
drilling 5000 wells on them during
the next ten years, provided, of
course. that foreign capitalists can

cularly France. il only for political
consideration. would like to extend
their hold on the Rumanian fields.
but 1t is felt here that American
participation, which would presum-
ably be entirely non-p political in
character, would be preferable.

Billions Made =

New York, Dec. ?,.-(By A. Ply
The sharp depreciation in Berlin ex-
change to the point where one cent in
American money will buy several bill
lion German marks has given rise to
several fanciful stories in Wall street
and to many interesting mathcmati-
cal calculations.
One of the latest stories, credited
TO an American consular officer in
Belgium, relates how shortly after

ffcient, marks to influence. IL neces-
sary, the German exchange situation.
decided to redeem all the German
currency then circulating in Belgium
1t is said to have expected to acquire
six billion marks in this manner, but
the favorable rate of exchange Offer
ed induced considerable speculation
by Belgians who purchased marks in
Germany and sold them at a profit in
their own country, so that several
more billion were actually acquired.
These marks are said to have been
stored in a large warehouse and a
guard placed over them, necessitat-
ing an annual outlay IF $4,000 to so, 900
Belgian francs, besides the loss of in
terest. SO great has been the depre-
citation in marks that the Belgian
treasure" which is said still to be
under guard, is valued at less than 81
in American money at the present
rate of exchange.
Another story, which illustrates the
extent of depreciation, says that 40
box cars would be needed to haul 81
worth of one mark notes at the pres
ent rate of exchange.
