situation In this country. With sterling
exchange weakened at a time when
England was buying wheat 1t would
cost England more to buy American
dollars. and hence the English could
not afford to buy so much wheat. Inc
demand for our wheat would be re-
duced, we could not sell IS much, and
the American farmer would suffer ac-
cordingly. Then what would happen
to our agricultural surplusp The same
condition, applied to other American
industries, would give the same result :
Critics Of the proposed international
bank have said they see no necessity
for such a bank-the same opinion was
expressed by the Central Bankers them
selves when the matter was first pre-
sented. 1t is argued that the bank will
be just "excesS new machinery"
In defense of this new machinery,
owen D. Young has stated that "the
capitalistic system Of the world cannot
be 100 per cent perfect when wheat
can be allowed to rot in Iowa and at
the same time people In China and In
Russia can be starving for lack OF
Bread"
In other channels of life new
instruments looking toward perfection
are sought at all times. Millions are
spent In research yearly for the purpose

methods-in manufacturing. in agri-
culture, in cattle husbandry and SC
forth. Therefore, following the same
line Of argument, the experts reasoned
that no financial system was so perfect
that 1t could not be Improved and their
attitude was that the International
Bank would fill a strategic Gap In the
present financial system
One safeguard the experts were care
full to set up was the removal Of the
PREPARATIONS bank from politics SO far
as possible. The banks Of central
direction will be in the hands not OF
politicians but of q board of directors
made UP of the heads of the central
banks of the nations concerned and
other directors of their selection. They
will be men whose business is finance
not politics, and whose interest will be
to see that the finances of this inter-
national institution are efficiently and
wisely handled.
Besides the integrity of the central
banks, there Is to be considered the
degree of confidence with which the
managers of each Of those institutions
regard the operation Of all the others.
One timely example of this is pointed
out. The Bank of France now has on
deposit in the Bank of England some
$500, 100000. The Bank of England Is
recognized as one of the strongest
financial institutions in the world. Yet,
should the Bank of France withdraw
all or a large part of this $500 ,0OO, 900
at one time, the English bank would be
seriously embarrassed.
Recently there has existed situa-
ton which might have made 1t politi-

BY WILLIAM Ii. FORT.

NEW YORK, September 18.-The in
ereStS Of the United States and the in
7terests of Europe are so bound to-
Bether, economically, despite the SEEM
ng isolation and financial security OF
his country, that the setting up of q
bank such as the proposed Bank for IN
ernational Settlements becomes q mat
Fer of grave concern to American bust"
hess.
1t becomes a matter of moment even
for the Government of the United
States, for 1t directly concerns the pay
nent of debts owed to this country by
the governments of Europe. And In
hat regard the establishment of such
Rn international banking institution as
S planned is expected to be q great aid.
Suppose this international bank were
hot established and that control of
Germany's reparationS payments was
eft in the hands of individual political
treasures? What assurance would there
be that the selfish actions Of some one
pr two nations would not create great
economic disturbances not only in Eu-
rope, but also in the United States.
SterIing's State Is Cited.
Suppose, for instance" said one bus
mess man interested in farming, that
England wanted wheat from the United
States. Suppose at the same time that
sEnglands sterling exchange was weak,
rs at present. Politicians in any other
country might see in this an opportu-
nifty to force down sterling exchange
still further, and thus aid their own
debt payments by the purchase of cheap
Sterling exchange.
IF this were done-if England's ex-
change were pounded down to still
lower level-it would have an immediate
|unfavorable effect upon the agricultural

DEMPSEY WILL DECIDE
 ON RErENTERING RING
Former Worlds Heavyweight Boxing Champion Gets Biggest Oder
 Of His Career.

Los Angeles, June { R-Jack Dempsey, former worlds heavy weight boxing champion. was called upon today to make up his mind whether to return to the boxing ring.
 Gene Normile, former manager Of the ex-champion. stood sponsor for a meeting this afternoon between Dempsey and two officials of the Agua Caliente corporation. which has amusement concession privileges at that little town just south of the Mexican border.
 While declining 10 reveal details of the offer to be made Dempsey. Normile said 1t entailed the biggest money the former champion ever has received in his life" He seemed to think Dempsey's decision would settle definitely the question of his possible comeback.
 All Dempsey would say in advance of the conference was that he would fight again If the money is there" and if suitable opponent were pro. vided. He said he was feeling fine. and prepared to go back to the ring if the proper inducements are made"

BY VERNE WICKHAM

BY VERNE WICKHAM One of the iron bound rules of golf is this-"Don't carry your golf bag on the green"
 Naturally. this golfer is all wrong. He has hauled his bag clear across the green and up to the cup. In addition. he is holding the pin ail wrong.
 The proper method is to drop your bag on the side of the green nearest the next tee; take your butter from the bag and then walk onto the green.
 Picture . little diagram showing . small map of . green and tee. Walk up the fairway following the arrow and drop the bag be. tween the green and the next tee in the spot marked X. Don't ever drop the bag on the area shaded m the map-or on the green.
 By . little head work when yo,i approach the green, you can save yourself many steps. But putting the bag on the proper side of the green you eliminate the necessity Of crossing and re-crossing the green.
 When you drag your golf bag across the green. you ruff and mus up the grass and do . ce-. tain amount of damage to the green. The putting surface is treasure to the greenskeeper and the greens committee and when you drag . golf bag across ths green you are causing some other golfer . missed putt.
 Drag your bag across . sand green sometimes and you'll apprc- ciate why it is against all go.f etiquet and rules to take or drag your golf bag over the greens.

In stroke competition. where . man Is fighting against himself. the pressure may demand even more of the wfil-to-win stuff. There was . splendid display of it in the quali- flying round of the Presidents Cup event at Shuttle Meadow.
 4 good player got off 10 a bad start. He scored one over par on each of the first six holes. On the seventh he drove into trap at the l50 yard mark. It is a difficult par : hole. But he did not give up. His fourth was on the green and he got lis first good break by running down long putt.
 He finished up with a l4 and by the law of averages he ought to have had a fairly easy time on the second nine. But he continued to make weird shots that would have discouraged any golfer lacking in fighting spirit. His recoveries and another long putt that holed out for . par just let him in to play for the President's Cup.
 A correspondent writes: Tn re- gard to how Hagen or Jones might score with the old gutta bail-they would be able to come within six or seven strokes of their ordinary scores. playing with h on . modern course. Freddie Tate. one of the old time. British champions, drove . gutta s05 yards"
 That's long enough to satisfy the modern golfer. But the record for the lively ball is much farther. A hole-in-one Is on record at 5s5 yards.

FOUR INJURED
BY SHOCKS IN
Los ANGELES
Excitement Follows
First Intense Dis
turbance In Many
Years

LOS ANGELES, July 8.-tP)-
Four persons, two men and two chill
dren, were injured in an earthquake
which severely shook Los Angeles
and communities within a 80 mile
radius at 8:45 a. m, today. Those
injured were reported from Santa
Fe Springs, Oil town fifteen miles
south Of here.
Long Beach, Hermosa Beach and
Santa Monica, on the Pacific Ocean,
felt the tremor more than the in
land communities of Pasadena and
Glendale.
The tremor was an undulating
north and south movement, causing
chandeliers in some buildings to
sway like penduluns, rattling win
doWs and moving small objects, but
causing no damage.
A second trercor Of less intensity,
was felt an hour later at 9:45
o'clock.
In Long Beach the Press-Tele-
gram building at Sixth street and
Pine avenue was rocked for more
than fifteen seconds causing the
machines in the composing room to-
vibrate while printers were getting
out the first edition.
Other buildings in the city rocked
perceptibly. Considerable excite
ment was created as it was the first
earthquake Of any consequence ever
felt there.
