No, there has been no oVerproduction
OF silver. But there has been an over
supply of silver on the world market for
the past five years. ....t,.
In 1926, India. under the. advice Of
| the British treasury. adopted the gold
exchange standard. and. started to &C
qulre gold or its equivalent. in. foreign
! exchange on London. So India sold
silver in large quantities during the past
/ five years.
The United states Senate committee
| of which Senator Pitman of Nevada
IS chairman, states that since 1928 the
British government and India have
dumped large quantities of silver upon
the markets of the world, and lis con-
tinuing such policy and practice not
wltnStanding the alarmipgly. low price
Right now the government of India
has available. 0.O0O, 900 ounces of
silver that it can aud viii dump. upon
the markets of the world, -,
Then in 1928, Ipdo-China. q French
colony, also switched its currency stand
ard from silver. to. gold. Result, an
other 100000 ounces of silver was
thrown on the world market.
| So the silver crisis continues. The
London Board of Silver Brokers, con.
fronted by mountains Of new silver
| coming on the market, can do nothing
but drop the price as the volume in
! creases.
Pitman'S Suggestions.
What can be done about it? Senator
Pitman's committee has made two sug-
sestionS on world silver policy:
l. Have President Hoover call an in
ternat1onal conference to- work out all
agreement or understanding with re-
spect to the uses and status Of silver as
! money. -'.'- -'..-''t
2. Make a huge silver loan to China,
giving them the surplus silver which
the United States has IN its possession.
How effective will these two plans
be?" asked Rene Leon a. partner of
Langley & Co., New York bankers,
recognized as an outstanding world au-
thority on silver.
With the second suggestion, I am
not in sympathy" Mr.. Leon said, ST
do not believe that silver loan TO
small, would be Of any assistance or
help to China or the world Tt would
not affect the price OF silver, because
the United States is not selling any
great amount Of silver on the markets
of the world. Such b resolution, If
carried out, would coriplicate and con-
fuse the issue more than ever. I be-
mSound and uneconomic. The Sug-
gestion may have political, but 1t GER
tainly has no economic, merit"
But what about the first suggestion
of the Pitman conmittee?"
"Its an excellent one" replied Mr..
Leon, "and with 1t ] am in thorough
sympathy. believe it is sound, to the
point, practical. An international con-
ference, called by President Hoover, at
the earliest possible moment. to include
representatives of the large silver-using
countries, such as China, India, Mexico
and possibly France, would be an event
of worldwide importance.

AVOID SUNBURN

, An ounce OF prevention is worth
everything when it comes to real
sunburn- Tan is excellent. Both
from the point OF view of health
and OF fashion. But sunburn that
really burns is injurious
The thing to do Is to expose
the skin gradually to the full
force OF the sun. A few minutes a
day at first. more and more later
on as a layer OF browning skin
protects your body. In time you
will be SO nicely tanned. without
having blistered and burned. that
you can stand the full sun for
hours at a time.

So There L. No Excuse
For Appearing With
Gloves That are Not
Spotess

T all light
u daytime gloves O wa
days are of the washable sort.
Many women do not take adj
vantage OF this fact, however,
preferring 10 send their
gloves to the cleaners. But
the fact that they can be
washed at home leaves one
with no excuse whatever for
wearing gloves after they
have become the least bit
soiled.
Washing gloves 4 really quite
a simple matter-and drying
them satisfactorily Is easy when
you have a pair of wire glove
frames which can be bought az
any notion counter. The wash
water should be only a little more
than luke warm. Use soap freely
In the water but do not apply d.
rectly to the gloves. IL is a good
plan TO let them soak three or
four minutes before washing 70
as TO loosen the dirt. Then rub
the gloves gently IN the hands or
PIT them on the hands and BRO
coed as II WASHING the hands.
The idea may occur 10 you 70
use a soft brush 70 remove the
CRIME from badly soiled gloves
but this is a rather bad plan as
even a soft brush will roughen
the surface Of the kid or mar the
even texture of fabric gloves.
Gloves should be rinsed once
or twice If thev have been quite
soiled. The rinse water should
be OF the same temperature an
the wash water. A little soap
added even TO the last rinse water
Is sometimes advised 70 keep the
gloves from becoming too stiff
when drying
Once rinsed. the gloves should
be gently squeezed 70 remove as
much water A. possible and
should then be put on the wire

Novelty

A GENE RATIONa ago
"A young girls were fire.
quently reminded by their
mothers that "you could tell
a real lady by her gloves and
shoes" The idea being that
no matter how exquisite ones
dress and hat. jewelry and
couture, one could not quite
make the grade of gentility
with soiled or shabby gloves
or untidy shoes. The woman
who was not a real lady, one
inferred, just lacked the finer
feelings that would make her
attentive TO these details.
The old fashioned distinc-
ton between real ladies'" and
the rest of womankind is
rather meaningless today, but
the fact remains that atten-
ton to gloves and shoes IS
vitality important. You attend
to these matters not, per
haps, because you want to
impress the world that YOU
are a perfect lady but because
you would be uncomfortable
if you did not and because
you know that these things
are essential TO smartness.
II the long continued vogue OF
the short skirt was OF no other
significance IL did drive home the
importance OF well clad feet and
ankles. During the postwar de-
cade gloves undoubtedly were
neglected. especially in this coun-
try where the gloveless fad was
carried much further than IL was

casual negligence has spent its
force, and gloves are reassuming
their place OF importance IN the

the sorts OF gloves worn by the

Gloves OF some sort are almost

At important sports events in
Paris women spectators wear

dresses, and gloves long enough
to extend part way up TO the el-
bow with short sleeves. The
smart Partisan chooses white or
light toned beige or ecru gloves
OF the hand-stitched sort and
those with black stitching are
considered especially smart They
are heavy gloves that give the
impression OF being a trife large

Fabric gloves are no longer mer-

have been accepted this season on

Brown shoes with beige stockings
are favored by many French

Of many well dressed women they
are more appropriate for resort or

all the other requisites of well ap-
pointed, well governed, progressive

tion in trade. Every child is en-

found belief of James j. Davis.
founder of this city of Mooseheart,
| director general of the order and for
mer U. S. secretary of labor And
this principle, firmly believed in by
all the members of this order, has
helped to make the Loyal Order of
Moose what it is today.
Again, no Moose driven to economic
dependence in old age, need fear the
hopeless lot of the pauper. Another
{ great city has been built by the
Moose. 1t is Moosehaven, located in
Florida near Jacksonville, on the
banks of the ST. Johns river. This
second city is inhabited by old folks
of the order upon whose shoulders
the heavy hand of affiction has fallen.
Yet another service is rendered to
the members of the Loyal Order of
Moose. When it is found impractical
to receive the wives and children of
| deceased members at Mooseheart, or
to send the old folks to Moosehaven,
their needs are met through Moose
help, or Mooseheart-M -Moosehaven char
ity service, in the communities in
which they dwell.

who belongs to this order, yet is not
attracted by its benefits and does not
look upon lodge lie with any great
enthusiasm or contemplate with con
Germ the future of himself or the
members of his family. Yet he is an
ardent and enthusiastic Moose frater-
nalist Why?
Here is the answer: The astute
leaders of this fraternity believe that,
if you honestly show the average
man how d few dollars each year can
be spent to the very best advantage
none of it wasted-in the ameliora-
tion of human distress, this average
man will willingly provide the few
dollars. Surely the story of their sue
cess in building up the Moose proves
] the accuracy of their reasoning.
