NEW YORK, November Il. The
demand for redistribution of gold, made
by many European statesmen, econo-
nlists and students Of finance, as the
most important factor In bringing
about revival of international business,
is prompted by the belief that the
United States is the principal culprit.
analysis of the available gold supply
of 10 leading countries reveals the
rather surprising fact that the United
States, on the basis per capita statis-
tics, ranks fifth among important gold
holding nations.
Furthermore, the total, amounting at
present to only 434.49 per capita, COM
pares with 1914 toward the end OF
last year, q decline OF slightly more
than per cent.
Switzerland Heads List.
Switzerland, although rarely referred
to by advocates OF the redistribution
OF the yellow metal, heads the list,
as compared with. $33.57 on December
81, 1880, a. gain of almost 800 per cent
within 10 months. During the same
period, the amount of notes in circu-
iation increased from about $50 per
capita to slightly over SGT, an advance
OF "a per cent. The corresponding IN
crease for the United States was about
% per cent.
France occupies second place, with
per capita gold holdings at the begin
ming CT the current month Of $58.32, as
compared with $5l61 at the end Of
1890, q gain Of about 13 per cent. The
increase in notes amounted, for the
same period, to slightly over per cent.
advancing from S7294 at the end Of
last year TO about $78 at the beginning
of November.
Belgium ranks third, with per capita
gold holdings amounting to S44.47, as
compared with $23.87 at the end Of
last year, an increase of well over 66
per cent. The gain in notes In circu-
iation was only slightly in excess Of 8
per cent.
The Kingdom Of the Netherlands oc-
cupies fourth place. At the beginning
of November, the per capita gold hold
ings of the country totaled $4l.67, as
compared with $22.24 at the end of the
past year, an advance of more than 81

BUILDING INDUSTRY
ESTIMATE Is HIGHER
F. ". Dodge Corporation Expects
$4,000, 600, 900 Will Be Spent
Next Year.
BY CHAS. p. SiIAEFFER,
Associated PRESS Business Writer.

An estimate that $4,000 ,000, 900 will
be spent for new construction next year
against $500, 100000 this year Is made
by the F. w. Dodge Corporation.
For the tirst three months Of next
year the corporation approximated that
81 $50, 900, 900 would be spent
The prognoStication promises employ
ment for many workers, and will create
a new demand for much material OF
many types.
New construction for the first nine
months Of this year was estimated at
$4,000, 100000 or about IS per cent less
than for the corresponding period of
last year. The total for the year will
not be much more than $500, 10000
additional, it is said.
In this connection, It Is pointed out
that the average of all building costs
has fallen of about II per cent as
compared with last year. Hence o
larger amount of building Is going on
than is apparent from the construc.
ton cost totals.
For the present, however, following
an improvement In the industry during
September, the total estimated cost OF
all construction during October, includ-
ing alterations and repairs, was 81 per
cent lower than for the previous month.
These figures, which were announced
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, were
significant. however. in that the esti-
mated cost for new. residential build
inks showed gain of "a per cent over
September.

beginning Of the current year they
totaled about $i3. It "A Of interest to
observe that notes In circulation de-
clined during the period under review,
which, incidentally, Is true of the other
scandinavian kingdoms, including Swed-
en- and Denmark. NUrway's per capita
circulation reeeded from 424.20 at the
! end of last year to slightly less than S23
early this month, loss Of more than
per cent
Great Britain follows. with per capita
gold holdings Of about e14.76, as against
SIS at the end Of last year. Notes in
circulation also declined during the pc
riod under review, the loss amounting
to about 325 per cent.
Denmark occupies eighth place AT
the end of last year the kingdoms per
capita gold holdings totaled $12.S4, as
compared with $13.57 early this month,
decline Of approximately per cent.
Notes In circulation registered q decline
Of somewhat more than 7 per cent, the

at the end Of 1880 to $21.23 early this
month. a7H sea |

in circulation declined during the same
period from $22.37 per capita to $30.73,
a loss Of about 3 per cent.
Germany Is Last.
Germany Is last on the list. Her
stock of gold, at the beginning Of this
month amounted to only $4.40 per
capita, loss Of almost 4S per cent from
the figure at the end of last year. Notes
in circulation decreased only slightly,
the per capita figure declining from
$17.38 at the end Of last year to $l6.47
early in November.
From the above statistics It is appar-
ent that whatever accusations are d.
rected against the United States are not
nearly so well founded as might seem
on the basis Of q superficial exalnina-
tion. With per capita stock Of the
yellow metal below $35, it is obvious
that the country is not in position
to lose much OF the available gold with
out feeling the effects Of such losses
upon the economic life Of the Nation.
Furthermore, II redistribution Of gold
is regarded as a means Of bringing to
an end the present economic crisis,
there are at least four other countries
which are to be approached before the
United States Is asked to part with her
stock.

OF returning prosperity that have be-

much to a general rise in all COM
modify prices as to a better adjust
ment of the market values Of agri-
cultural products to those of manu-
factured goods.
In fact a steady settling down Of

greeted in Canada as the healthiest re-
suit Of the present upward movement.
Many manufactured products are still
so per cent higher than in pre-war
days, when wheat was selling at a dol

The need for continued economy is
voiced in the warning of the bankers
association to the provincial govern

their expenditures to a minimum and
to cease borrowing The launching of
the Dominion service loan of $780,
100000 is excused on the ground of
the necessity of providing funds for

the borrowing. But it is pointed out,

The. live poultry market is flrming up

Sheer Velvet for the Bride's Gown
B

Whether the summer bride be ar
rayed in traditional satin or the very
new chalk white lace or the thin-as-
chiffon transparent velvet which is so
beloved by the present generation, ex-
uuisite simplicity distinguishes her
costume.
From her headdress and veil draper
les to her bridal bouquet, every detail
is made to emphasize sophisticated
simplicity. In view of this fact the
bride is carrying instead of the
usual ornate shower bouquet, an arm
full of Gala lilies whose chaste and
classic lines add exquisite artistry to
the picture.
The amazing sheerness and supple
ness of modern velvet speak eloquent
ly in it's favor as medium for the
nuptial gown. 1t is ivory transparent
velvet of filmiest texture which fash
ions the lovely wedding dress In the
picture. The bodice of this softly
draped frock is delicately embroidered
with tiny rhinestones.
The tulle veil falls in classic sill
houette from a simple band of pearls.
The sleeves are long, almost COM
plete1y covering the hand and the
skirt is made to touch the floor in
front, and the train is moderately
long.
For the costume of the maid of
honor, as portrayed in the center pam
ell. soft orchid mousseline is the choice.
1t is made over layer of self fabric.
with blue crepe de chine slip which

is stiffened is significant in that it
adds sprightly touch which is
charming. The princess bodice has

How often one goes into home
which is nicely furnished, well-ar-
ranged and acknowledgement for
the lighting! For long time it was
the custom to place a large center
light in each room overhead and let
every one use it to see what they
were doing. 1t had to serve for read
Ing newspapers, sewing, playing the
piano, doing lessons, eating meals
dressing, cooking or washing dishes,
depending upon the room and it's pur-
pose. Obviously several people in the
same room could not all occupy good
positions with regard to one overhead
light, if, indeed, any of them did.
Some would be in semi shadow, yet un-
aware that they were straining their
eyes and enjoying less comfort than
they would have with light distributed
to all parts of the room.
The essence of good modern lighting
is to have your light concentrated
where it Eliminates what you want to
see, without glare. Correct lighting
for one room differs from that for an
other. Buildings nowadays put several
electric outlets in every room so that
lamps may be attached in different
parts of the room, and still be con-
venient when the furniture is rear
RANGED. Even kerosene lamps can be
placed on wall brackets and on stands
wherever their light is wanted
A very bright source of light, whether
electricity, gas, or other illumination,
should be shaded. Clear glass globes
can be replaced by frosted ones
which diffuse the light. Indirect light
ing is successful in some rooms, but
lamp shades that direct light down.
ward and concentrate it where it is
needed are more popular with night
readers.
In the living room there may be oc-
casional use for large central light
that floods the whole room, but many
people at the present time do not
have one. Instead they use wall lights
supplemented by number of we'll
shaded floor and table lamps placed
where they meet different needs. A
lamp near the piano, at the writing
desk, close to the book cases, and by
each chair used for reading or study

of light in a living room. The illus
