Abandon Gold

LONDON. Sept. 28.-tP1-Sweden
and Norway today followed Great
Britain In suspending the gold
standard and prohibiting exporta-
ton OF gold. The Danish cabinet
Is considering the same action.
Dispatches from Stockholm and
Oslo said the two governments had
decided temporarily to abandon
payments In gold because Of the
utilization Of the krona and the
krone with the pound sterling and
the close connection Of their fl
nances with those Of Great Brit
ain.
The Swedish state council de-
cided to drop the gold standard
until Nov. 30. unless conditions
should cha.(ye nsfore that date.
and to increase the national bank
discount rate from six per cent TO
eight per cent. The expectation of
gold was prohibited except by the
Riksbank, or by foreign national
banks.

QUEEN

Compelling. both in dramatic
theme and emotional sweep, Doc
tors Wives" Fox's intensely human
drama OF marriage in the medical
profession, cofeaturing Warner
Baxter and Joan Bennett, opens
at the Queen theatre tomorrow.
Briefly the story concerns the
marriage Of a doctors daugt er
with the most promising -oung
surgeon In New York. The mar
rage runs adrift on the waters of
jealousy and suspicion when Joan
Bennett, as the naive and IDEAL
istic wife. falls prey to the saying
common to doctors wives tina. .the
patient is the common enemy Of
every doctors wife"
How she finally learns Of her
misjudgment OF her husband, and
to believe in the greatness of his
sacrifice for humanitarian service,
completes the story which is said
to be the screens most realistic
effort to date.

A GREAT tradition Of Western rides and
I riders was inevitable. few of the tales

remained q part Of that @fal heritage which
not even the combined power Of electricity, gas

ton they have inherited. The lesser figures in

Aubry was by birth French Canadian In
the early thirties he came to st. Louis and
went to clerking in q carpet store. He heard
tank OF bun trains and pack outfits. He saw

caravans, pulled by long horned oxen and driven
by roaring bullwhackers, were setting out over
the Santa Fe Trail. He joined one Of the out
fits. In o short time he was an independent
trader, living at Santa Fe and making frequent
trips across the plains.
The year of his great rides-for he made
three-was 1s48. It generally took horsemen
from three to four weeks to ride the 800 miles
between Santa Fe and Independence; the
schedule Of the military mail was about 80 days:
OK wagons required from two to three months.
Early in the cold month Of January Aubry ar
rived In Independence after having been on the
road only IL days. 1.-THE Daily Missouri Repub-
Ncan" published at st. LOUSY declared such O
rate Of travel unprecedented in prairie life"
As matter Of fact, It was not "unprecedent-
ed" and shortly afterward Aubry made the
trip in about eight days. When, following It,
he got back to Santa Fe in the late Summer
he heard Kit Carson and Maxwell and others
buzzing over his record ride. ST can do better"
he quietly said In those days as now money
talked. Aubry offered TO bet $1,000 that he
could make the ride within six days. The money
was covered. Aubry 1T once sent two or three
men afsad with relay horses. At Fort Mann on
the Arkansas and at Council Grove he could
rely on getting fresh horses. During o part OF
the trip he would drive extra mounts ahead of
him. It was to be o lone ride. Let us picture
Aubry as he makes it.
