 ATTAINED IN 1927

NEW YORK, Dec, 26, P)-Goid movements again became factor lot consequence in the money mar ket during November, when in about 10 days some $47.000,000 was taken from the gold stock of the country.
 Imports failed to offset the loss, the result being a net decline of around $19,OOO,OOO in the stock for the month.
 Porting up of foreign exchanges to levels at which gold shipments to this country are unprofitably was largely responsible for the failure of imports to continue af- ter mid-month.

 The regular work of the banking institution was not affected as the various departments have been oper- ating in other quarters since rebuild ing commenced.

CHARITY BENEFITS
 BY QUEER CONTEST
Principals Are Lord Woolavin6.
 ton and Bernhard Baron

London. Nov. 2s Rl-A Scotch- man and Jew are running a close race in giving money to charity in England.
 The principals are Lord Woola- vington. the Scotch whisky distill- CT. and Bernhard Baron. the Jewish cigaret maker. who won his for tune in the United States and came to England to increase it.
 Baron's recent gift of $2.500.oo0 for the establishment of trust fund for orphans and crippled chil- dren has been followed quickly by a gift Of 3s75.o0o to charity on the part of Lord Woolavington. Altogether the total of Baron's benefactions is about $l0.O0o. 900. He has probably given away more money than Woolavington but his lordship is "one up" on Baron when 1t comes to playing the, fairy god father.
 When Woolavinston discovered his deceased brothers two daugh- ters living in Janesville. Wis. one working as factory typist, he in- , vited Catherine and Jean Buchanan to a holiday in London. Accompany ing his invitation was a check for new clothes and transportation ex- penseA Afterward. in best story book style. Lord Woolavington made settlement upon them which will provide handsomely for their future.
 Woolavington was formerly Sir James Buchanan. He has twice won the Derby-with Captain Scut-
 tie in 1922 and with Coronach in 1928.
 Bernhard Baron's life has been
 described as cigaret- makers TO-
 nance. Many years ago. after leav-
 ing Russia ard spending many
 years of hard work in America, he
 adopted England as his homeland.
 He has built up here one of the
 greatest tobacco firms in the world. He will be 7s years old December
 5. On that day the first distribu-
 ton will be made from the 32.500,- 900 he has handed over to a trust.
 of which the Marquese of Reading 1 is to be chairman.
 One who has known life at It's
 worst and hardest, Baron breaches a gospel now to make life for others as good as it can be. His birthday gift to his thousand employees at the new plant in the Hampstead road is usually a full weeks pay. Sometimes there is further little gift.
 T have tried to be a good em- ployer." he says. T know myself what it is to work for the other kind. I like to think my firm is the happiest in England. Anything that I have been able to do for those who work for me has added to my own happiness"
 Baron does not often speak Of his hard boyhood in Russia and his early struggles as a young man in the United States. He was about Is when he left the country of his birth. He began in the States bv making cigarets by hand - and selling them himself. Cigaret smoking was then in its tegin-

''The true coal that the world uses today was laid down probably millions of years ago. It was form- erly believed that the vegetable mat ter accumulated as a result of rank growth in a hot. steamy climate. More recently the view has been advanced that climatic conditions during the deposit of coal materials were only 8 little milder than at present. This mild climate was prob ably world wide, as the presence Of large coal beds in the polar regions seems to indicate. Coal materials are accommodating today in every peat-bog and in many swamps. Many of the peat-bogs are in re- latively high attitudes.
 U. s. Leads World
 ''In total known coal deposits, the United States leads all the world. It is probable. in fact. that this country has more than half of the worlds coal. It also leads all other countries in the amounts mined and consumed annually. China ranks next in coal supplies. but her vast stores of potential energy have not yet been utilized to any great ex- tent. Great Britain has large sup plies of coal. especially in relation to her area.
 "One important economic factor that has served to give Great Brit ain an almost unbreakable hold on the overseas coal trade is that her mines lie within a few miles of salt water. Another factor is that Great Britain's exports are chiefly of relatively light manufactured goods which makes it profitable for the same ships to carry coal as bal last On return trips the ships carry relatively heavy raw materials. As a result Great Britain has long held the coal trade of the coasts of the Baltic, France, Spain, and many of the Mediterranean countries. and also supplies much of the coal im- ported into South America

FOREIGN PLAN IN
 GERMANY FAILURE
Loses Control on Important
 Real Property

Washington. Nov. 2S R)-1n spite of the long and grievous period of depression that Germany had to Nn- dergo after losing the war. it now is apparent that her industrial and economic recovery is being achiev- ed without sacrifice of her inter- nal property to foreigners.
 There were years after 1919 when the German mark - unit of the country's currency was de- preciated to fantastic figures. and there is a common notion in finan- cial circles that foreign capitalists, taking advantage of this deprecia- tion. has established large owner- ships of real property and securi- ties inside the Reich.
 This situation the American commerce department brought un- der investigation and the results indicate that Germans in spite of all difficulty managed to avert that danger in spite of the sore straits they underwent. American Consul Conger Reynolds at Stuttgart di- rected the inquiry and the final re- suit disclosed the triviality of for eign ownerships established dur ing the period.
 In all of Germany. the consul found. 1,412 pieces of city property and 273 farms were the total that actually went into foreign hands between 1919 and 1923. Sincr 1923 large number of these have been sold back to Germans and the process is continuing. The small- ress of the foreign intervention is further illustrated by the fact tha, in Germany in an average year some 6O,D00 lots of real estate or dinarily change hands.
 Considerably more foreign money went into mortgages on real es- tate. but the laws re-establishing a new mark currency prevented these from becoming actual own erships under foreclosure. The fact is that more money from abroad has been going into Germany since the currency establishment tha, during the period of crisis.
 The real import of foreign capi- tai charges against Germany has also been of a post diffi- culty character. From the United States the borrowings of invest ment funds have been running to huge organizations and German state governments.
 Notwithstanding. these debts, though they may represent an in- terest burden, carry hardly the

PYLE PAYS OFF
SURVIVORS OF
"BUNION DERBY
By FRANK GETTY
Omitted Press Sports Editor)

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN,
New York, June with an opti-
mism which matched that of c. c.
Pyle, the 26 hour team foot racers
ploddcd around the ten lap track in
Madison Square Garden, bent upon
finishing out the fiasco which
Cash and Carry set on foot (and
bunions) some months ago in Los
Angeles.
Pyle had paid the bill of $4S,50O
and that meant more to the prize
winners in the trans-continental
race than anything else, but still
they plodded on.
The ten prize winners, still in the
race but casting anxious eyes
toward the exit as though they
would prefer to run to the nearest
bank with the certified checks, con.
tinued to pick up their feet and put
them ahead around the boards
which circled the all but empty Gar
den. Even G. c. Pyle, the Peter
Pan of optimists, admitted that the
total attendance to date had not
exceeded 1000 but still his foot rae
ers, bearded, bronzed and otherwise
ran on and on.
One feature of the 26 hour race
occurred before the runners wert
sent away.
Tex Richard, local promoter, step
ped before the motion picture cam
cras and presented to each of the
first ten runners to finish in the
coast to coast derby bank drafts fo,
the sums they had won, ranging
from Andy Payne S $4,000 down t'
the mere $1,000 collected by the mel
who finished between fifth an'
tenth places.
Despite the fact that less thar
200 spectators, by actual count
turned out to witness the start o
his 26 hour footracc, c. c. Pyle re
tanned his optimism to the end.
