FRANCE SEEKS USES
FOR GOLD RESERVE.
Nation Awaits Chance to Enter
World Finance, Says Com
merce Board.

Gold was so rare in France only four
years ago that the Bank of France paid
bonus for the gold coins boarded by
private individuals from war days. To-
day a large share of the worlds gold
supply is within the borders of France,
the stock having increased nearly $780,
100000 last year Furthermore, the
shower of yellow metal is no more well
come today to the French than the
huge imports of gold were to Americans
prior to 1880, says the French Cham
Der of Commerce.
The unparalleled stability and pros
perity of the United States were from
1924 to 1929 the determining causes of
the inflow of gold to America. So now
the stability of the franc and the Sc
curity offered in France to the capital
lists of all countries have lured avail
able capital to France at this time
when there is less demand for credit
in foreign markets on account Of the
present widespread economic crisis of
the last months.
How can France use this bullion pill
ing higher and higher in her vaults?
French thrift cannot endure seeing this
wealth lying idle, and, as long as the
Young plan works and she Is assured
of recovering a small part of her
enormous wartime losses, she will not
allow this gold to remain unproductive.
The Bank of France has taken steps
to encourage international operations.
She has eased up in her treatment of
foreign securities, and today the latter
are taxed less than the French securi-
ties. But capital in France, as in the
United States, is waiting prudently, but
for the end of the period of
political and economic disturbance
which the world is now experiencing
Faithful to traditions, France is ready
to resume, at the proper moment, her
position as great world financial mar
ket, the chamber report concludes.

a considerable increase over the total
of 24,678. 1877 in December, 1929. The

Retail trade in Washington, as re-
ported by eight local department stores,

whole was computed to be but 1.3 per
cent, this being better than the figures
for any other city in the Richmond

bly, better than the average for the
country as a whole, where the decline
in December and for the year as a

improvement in sentiment with the
turn of the new year fortified by con-

also that the improved psychology in

SOUTH IMPROVING.

In connection with the report of
Southern Natural Gas Corporation,
showing for the first time monthly sales
of natural gas for the last half of 1880,
1t is pointed out that since the turn
of the year there has been marked
quickening of industrial activity in the
territory it serves, especially in the in

Hot Race on for Ball Seat
In virginia Senate

CLARENDON, Va, Feb. o.
The announcement of Senator
Frank L. Ball that he would not
be a candidate for reelection to
the Virginia legislature in the
coming election has opened the
way for a hard-fought, free-for-all
race for this office among several
prominent political leaders in the
Thirtieth senatorial district.
Because of the splendid record
made by Senator Ball during his
eight years in the legislature, OBJ
servers here conceded the elec-
ton to him and his decision not
to become a candidate came as
a surprise.
In making his announcement,
Senator Ball said:
"The financial sacrifice is
too great for my feeble purse
strings and after due cOnsid-
Grafton 1 have decidd not to
become a candidate. During
the eight years 1 have held

BAN ON BABIES
IS DEFENDED

NEW YORK, Feb. 9 (U.S).
How much salary should q
husband earn before he asks
his wife to become q mOther?"
Mrs. Marion Kahn, the girl
whose refusal to bear children was
sustained as a domestic right by
the Supreme Court and the Appel.
late Division. pondered that ques-
ton today. She rejected matern-
ity, she contended, because her
husband earned only $25 week.
He declared that the brides re-
fuSal constituted fraud under the
law, but both courts denied his
petition for a decree annulling the
marriage.
After a minutes reflection on
the minimum Of money required
for maternity, Marion said:
people have told me that a
wife would be unwiSe to become
q mother unless assured Of $50
q week income to be shared by
her husband, herself ard their
baby. 1 don't agree with that
figure. It's too high.
81 believe that $40 q week is
sufficient income to begin the
financing Of a family. That is
only SIS more than the SIS
that Alfred earned when we
married-but SIS may seem like
fortune when q family has
nothing and needs money for
the baby"
