FRENCH THRIFT

'CIose-F istedness' of Race

PARIS, Jan. 3.-Just why France
has over s., OOo, 900, 1000 in gold stored
IN the Bank of France vaults, Civ
ing her the second largest gold re-
serve in the world, is explained now,
not to be due to any strategic Jug
Cling in international finance, but
simply to French close-fistedness.
The French, when it comes to
saving, outcanny the Scots. care1
fully boarding up their pennies uni
til the pennies at last enable the
family to give their daughter a big
fat dot in order to get married.
Mother and father then go on
saving again until they have
enough to become petit RENTER,
which is a state blissful to the
French mind of living in retire
ment in little country villa on the
income of lifetime's careful in
vestments.
Cheques Seldom Used
The greater value placed on
money by the French compared
with the American, or Englishman,
affords the most striking example of
difference in mentality between the
Gallo and Anglo-Saxon races.
The average American, or Anglo
Saxon, finds it easier to spend than
to save. They are not of an
economical turn of mind.
The child is imbued from in
fancy with the idea of being care
full with money ana as he grows
up the saving instinct becomes
stronger.
1t is said to be just because Of
this carefulneSs that French folks
very rarely trust their money to
banks, which explains why cheques
are seldom used.
Richest ON Record
Some people say the French be-
came even more canny after the
Franco russian war.
Defeated by the Germans. thew
were called upon to pay what then
was big indemnity before the
German army of occupation would
be withdrawn from Paris.
Burning with the desire to be free
from foreign yoke, the whole nation
saved and saved and in a nlirac-
ulously short time the Indemnify
was paid and the invaders were
withdrawn.
NOW after years of saving France
mas her reward. AT a time when
otner nations are at close grips with
financial worries, France is richer
In gold than ever before

Coinage

Turing most of Egypts 5000 years Of Mseab-
- ness the Egyptians employed system of
exchange called barter" If peasant had
grain or vegetables for disposal In the markets,
he received IN payment vases, fans, or any ar
ticles his customers offered
Later, rings and bars of silver were used But
as these had NO fixed weight, their value had
to be determined by means Of scales each time
an exchange was made.
About the year $50 BIC, King Of Lydia,
a country In Western Asia Minor had pieces
of silver stamped with q statement of their
weight and purity, and added his portrait ana
name as q guarantee of the truth of the states
ment The use of coined metal was such q
greaA improvement over the old methods Of
exchange that other nations soon adopted it.
and now the coinage Of money is one Of this
most important duties of governments.
