many high school and private

LURE OF FLORIDA DRAWS

Hundreds of Rich Make Trip and

Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence Of the Associated Press
LONDON, April g. = The balmy
winter climate of Florida, long
lure to Americans from the cold
Northern States. has begun to draw
wealthy Britons away from their
sunny but chilly coves along the
Riviera
The Winter just ended saw hun
dreds of leisured Londoners cross
the Atlantic to get away from the
fogs and rain of their gray and
gloomy capital. Formerly only
few score Englishmen took the time
and trouble to discover the sunshine
of the West Indies and Florida. The
steamship companies have begun to
trumpet the attractions of both, and
expect increasing numbers of tour
lists to cross the Atlantic next Win
ter in search of bright skies and soft
southern breeZes.
Those who have tried the trip bring
back tempting tales of their expert
ences. One relishes a Winter swim
in the gulf, they say, whereas along
the Riviera Winter time dips in the
Mediterranean are taken only by the
younger and brawnier visitors.

STERLING MAY GET
i. S. GOLD BACKING
FinancierS So Interpret Re-
serve Bank Agreement to
Take Pound Bills.

The New York Federal Reserve
Bank reported agreement with the
Bank of England to take pound Ster-
ling bills in the open market as an ex-
change stabiliZer was regarded among
many officials here as tantamount to
placing the New York banks gold re-
serve behind the British pound. 1t was
agreed that the New York bank would
be of incalculable aid to the British
by open market operations in aiding
the British efforts to maintain gold
basis, an effort deemed soon to be
crowned with success.
While Gov. Crissinger of the Fed
eral Reserve Beard said the
board had not been advised of the re-
ported agreement between the two
great financial institutions, il was ex-
planned that such an agreement could
be negotiated by the bank itself with
out reference to Washington since it
was an operating question.
Impressed With Progress.
Officials who have given study to the
recent rapid appreciation of the pound
sterling exchange have been impress
ed with the steady progress of the
British effort, and it was asserted
that there was no reason why the
New York bank should not help out
III the movement. 1t was believed, of
course, that London later when con-
dit1ons make such action propitious,
would counter the bills taken by the
New York bank with a credit estab-
hshed through a loan here. The
amount of this loan has been esti-
mated vartously from half to three
quarters of a billion dollars.
II the New York bank takes ster-
mig bills whenever exchange runs
against London, after the British gold
embargo is lifted it will profit
through its discount business. The
hank of England would be benefited
through being able to hold it's gold
stock, it was said.

novelist, was shown for the first
time in Bismarck at the Capitol
Theatre last night. It has been
brought to the screen with q wealth
of beautiful settings, with a cast of
excellent players and with the most
expert of direction.
The result is a picture which will
satisfy the most captious patron Of
films. The story is found to be not
a story Of illicit passion for it's own
sake, as many critics Of the book,
upon its first publication, contend
ed, but the romance Of a great love
which transgressed the laws of man
and was punished for that trans
gression.
