No. 50 = delegates will be in
r. w. Mofrison session for m ny
weeks. and the success of their de-
,iberations rests on the mutual con-
SESSIONS that may be made, for no
one nation or group of nations can
axpect to obtain only advantages.
Most vital Of the problems to be
tackled Is admittedly the stabiliza-
ton of currencies, which involves
the return Of all nations to the gold
standard or at least to a metallic
standard; and this return must be a
synchronous movement so that all
countries will be on the same level
ut all times. In the debate on this
question leading parts will be taken
BY Senator Key Pittman OF Nevada
and Ralph w. Morrison, retired
banker of Texas, the member OF the
American delegation to whom the
monetary problem was especially
given for formulation Of the policy
Of the United States.
Senator Pittman before the con-
ference opened told something Of
q plan he had devised by which the
nations could use silver as a GER
tain percentage OF their currency
reserves, thereby economizing on
gold and stabilizing the price Of sill
yer. He insisted this would not
constitute bimetalllsm as gold would
still be the standard. The nations
appear to be in agreement, Mr.. Pitt
man said, that the currency reserve
Of gold should be lowered below
the 40 per cent now required In the
United States. twenty-five per
cent gold coyerage was mentioned
Tor purposes of Illustration by the
senator, who said that one-ffth OF
this reserve should be silver.
When the price Of silver was low
the governments would buy and
maintain reserves of the metal.
which they could sell when the price
was up, the senator said.
The other major aims Of the con-
ference are the raising of the world
price level, and the lowering of In.
ternational trade barriers. OF course
the three are inextricably inter-
twined, and they affect all other
problems that will come up. Back
Of it all is the matter of the ten
billions odd owed by European ma
lions to the United States. War
debts were excluded from the agenda
by Washington, but they will be con-
tinually in the minds of many of the
delegates and eventually something
must be done about them.

First Germans to
Settle in America

The first permanent German set
tlement in America was that fos-
tered by William Penn at German
town, founded in 1858. Francis Dan
lei Pastorius, a leader of the move
ment of German PrOtestants to-
America, took ship in advance of
those he had induced TO migrate.
and landed at Philadelphia August
20, 1853. On October 6, 1858, the
ship Concord, the Mayfower of the
German immigrants to America, ar
rived in Philadelphia, and this date
has customarily been observed by
Germans in America as the begin
ming of their history in the United

Blockaders Quit

MONTREAL. July 1S.-(UP).
St. Pierre and Miquelon's famous
prohibition made trade is falling
off.
So much off, indeed, that the
far-sightcd rum runners, who
have been maintaining stocks on
the islands, now arc liquidatlng
them. folding their tents and
stealing away in their gray ghost

As a result the French fisher
men Of the islands are facing n
drab future. Cod fishing, the in
dustry on which they depended
for two centuries, has changed
greatly in recent years. Formerly
all cod caught by the French
fishermen on the Newfoundland
hanks was brought back to St.
Pierre and Miquelon for treat
ment. Now giant trawlers seine
the fish. clean and salt them on
the banks and sail away to France
without even touching on the
islands.

outlook for the people on St.

III she could find her proud and
lofty son-in-law In a compromis-
ing situation how she would put
on the screws!. And someone had
said he drove to Connecticut
often.
Monday found Ida abroad
early. She usually woke about
10 O'Clock to bathe and return to
bed for her breakfast. After that
she would daydle over letters. the
newspapers or perhaps a sensa-
tional novel. Then came the fne
art of dressing which always took
an hour and often more. AS the
clock struck one she usually saun-
tered forth to meet some one for
luncheon or to. hunt up diversion
for the day.
This Monday morning found
her up at eight and dressed By
nine. In hern,ear a half hour
later she ordered Grier to an adj
dress on side street.
The chanffeur.. waiting before
this address. smiled the cynical
smile that came often to his hon.
est Irish lips. His eyes were on
the gilt lettering that appeared
on plate glass window. Women
like Ida Stafford went 10 detec-
tive agencies for just one reason
to ferret out secrets TO use for
blackmail or a divorce.

like he is to his bed and a wheel

Meanwhile inside Ida had ex-
planned her errand. The sleek in
dividual who sat back OF the desk
had listened to her tale and writ
ten Barrett Colvin's name and
New York address on a pad. Now
he said. Wen do all that is pos

Ida wrote. "6072B" in small

she did so. Thank you!"
Not at all, Mrs. Stafford"
She rose and drew her coat
around her. The mans eyes ap-
praised her, running over her
slowly from head to foot and back
again. Ida was warmed. reas-
sured. She had been so alone
since Vance Carriers absurd out
break" Men had been shy OF her.
She had once or twice felt the
threat OF age and wondered what
she would do with time-and her
self-when she was old. She had
no investment that would return
peace as the fire burned low. She
did not realize her lack OF re-
source. She thought only. "Oid
age Is hideous!"
She left the place smiling over
the memory.of this strange mans
sensuously glittering eyes. Her
daughter would have shuddered
at their light and struggled to
forget 1t.
The day was clear, unusually
warm. Perhaps" Ida unused,

afternoon" ""
