cool gray ground was chosen as
the foundation color.
1t is not always understood that
gray can be either warm or a cool
color. If it has a rose or yellow cast,
it takes on a warm hue; if it is a
blue-gray or a steel-gray, as it is
generally called, it is decidedly cool
in tone. A green-gray can be either
cool or warm. 1t all depends on whe-
ther blue or yellow predominates in
it's composition. The wallpaper de-
sign had yellow cast, and in this
way the mixed-light condition was
met satisfactorily.-From The De-
signer Magazine for September.

SOunder Money In
Europe Sounded
By Golden Tide

New York, Jan. 10 CA. P.)-Year-
end figures make available today a
clearer picture of whether Europe's
mortgaged pre-war gold on deposit
here has definitely begun to go back
home. and if so. to what extent.
A remarkable outbound movement
of the yellow metal amounting to
$40,242,0 900 in the first q days of De-
cember produced the first surplus of
exports over imports in a single
month since August, 1920. More gold
went out during this short period
than during the entire II months Of
either 1923. 1922 or 1921. Its impetus
obviously developed under the cumu-
lative pressure of foreign loans
amounting to $1,623,696,000. which
American banks turned back into de-
pleted but premium paying reser-
vors abroad in 1924. some $3.50, 900, =
600 of which were arraigned in the
last three months. Whether foreign
loans in the new year of 1925 will
take up at the extraordinary rate the
old year left off is expected to de-
termine whether this new export
phase in gold is to be continuous and
permanent.
Some bankers would reserve de-
cision and. for the time being, aver
age the closing months spirited ebb
tide with the IL months as a whole
Comparison of 1924 and 1923 with
figures for 1924 as yet approximate,
reveals:
Exports Imports Balance
1924 s62,226.47s ss15.GS43s7 s253.457,9o4
1928 cS643,417 3so.715,S12 294.072.395
Thus, it is seen that where the
United States received across the in
ternational counter in 1923 IL tins
as much monetary gold as it paid
out. in the year 1924 it received only
five times as much. Export ship
ments for the past IL months are
seen to have doubled. Net imports
fell off one seventh.
Meanwhile the United States still
holds two-fifths of all the $4,000
100000 in monetary gold in the
world. This stock, according to some
financial observers, is twice as much
as is required to support the credit
and currency facilities adequate to
trade needs. They would like to see
gold continue to ebb in proportions
sufficient to take up the slack.
They further welcome a growing
gold demand abroad as an earnest of
increasing sound money sentiment
among other nations. This would
bring them out of the wilderness of
paper money and deprecated curren-
cies and back under the gold stand
ard. 1t would also save the United
States from the threat of any gem
era, reputation of gold. Of which it
holds the greatest single portion.
Were the world at large to turn its
back upon gold as basis for none
tary systems it would leave the
United States with it's gold stock
like n white elephant on it's hands;
stock with lessened use and CORE
spondingly lessened value.
