By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
LONDON, April 15.-Continued gold
purchases by the Bank of England,
which have raised the total holdings
to f179 $4,000, a new high for this
year, has caused speculation as to
whether the purchases indicate prepa-
rations for a return to the gold
standard.
Government spokesmen persistently
deny any such intention for the present.
A little more than month ago Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, said the government is de-
termined not to return to gold until
satisfied that it will work" Inferen-
TALLY he explained the banks gold plir-
chases as incident to operations for
prevention Of wide fluctuations In

GIRL MAKES PET
. 0F FBULL-SNAKE

: LAWRENCE Kan.-Mary Lou
Nelson, 9 years old, has an odd
taste in pets. Instead of the
traditional lamb following Mary
Lou to school, a siX-foot bull
snake has taken over the Job.
Mary has had the snake since
st was a little fellow and it is as
tame as dog, but in spite of this
and the fact that bull-snakes are
considered harmless, Mary Lou
and her companion have a dis
turbing effect on her classmates.
When the snake wraps it's tail
around Mary LOUIS neck. the
pupils tell the teacher but the
teacher is not interested. She
maintains that if Mary Lou wants
to live on intimate terms with a
snake, that is strictly Mary LOUIS
business. Mary LOUIS parents
take a similar attitude. At home
the snake sleeps in a drawer in
Mary Louis dresser.

head measures 6O12 inches on the

The discussion was started
when Sir Edmund G. Loder, of
England, revealed the dimensions
of an elk head which had for
years been considered the largest
in the world. 1t was from an ami
NAL killed in Wyoming in 1889.
Both Budd and DR.. Wilson de-
clare their trophies are larger
than that owned by the English

NEW CURRENCY
PLAN IS READY
FOR PARLEY

A bi-metallic backing for world
currencies based on approximately
25 per cent gold coverage and 5
per cent silver is being sponsored
by the Administration, it was
learned today.
A plan designed to pave the
way for an international currency
coverage of this nature will be
proposed at the World Economic
Conference by the American ele-
cation, now enroute to London.
This scheme proposes the gov
ernments of all nations enact leg
islation authorizing the central
banks to use silver up to 20 per
cent in relation to the gold cover
age behind the various currencieS.
It is not proposed to make this
20 per cent silver coverage obliga-
tory. but merely authorize the
central banks to take advantage
of it if they wish.
At the same time, this Govern
ment is prepared to reduce the
existing gold coverage behind the
American dollar from 40 to Is per
cent in order to bring the world
gold coverage rate about that
Qevel.
It is not expected to achieve
the Is per cent level throughout
the world at once but it is hoped
q reduction in the United States
ratio to that level would pave the
way.

ANTS AS GOOD
! AS ANY AUNT

NEW YORK GNSD.-slavish
following of the dictionary in
matters of pronunciation is i'm
planting false standards of speech
and killing the "vigor, buoyoncy
and variety of a living language, !"
according to Mrs. Jane Dorsey
Zimmerman, instructor in speech
at Teachers College, Columbia.
Mrs. Zimmerman deplored the
counsel, so often heard in class
rooms, to pronounce every word
distinctly"
The saying "Amos m Andy"
Is more correct and natural. she
contended, than the stiff and for
NAL Amos and Andy. Likewise
bread n butter, instead of bread
and butter.
She also pleaded for good COL
aoquialism" instead of a standard
dzed speech.
"There should be a latitude of
pronunciation" she declared
pointing to a choice in the pro-
nunciation of aunt as ant" to-
mahto" or tomato" with the
long a. She said:
-:"If every word is spoken with
q pedantic, meticulous accent
we get a hardness in our voice
that is not only annoying to
our listeners but contributes to
misunderstanding, by causing
an unconscious anger in our
hearers"
