Ciraffe's Vertebrae

There are seven vertebrae In the
neck of the giraffe. This number is not
greater than in other quadrupeds, and
the neck has no extraordinary flexi-

therefore, is due to the elOngation of
each cervical vertebra.

 AT S33 TODAY
London Price Is $33.26- Administration s Plans
 Ullannounced

WASHINGTON, Nov 10. = The new American gold price today is S33, 25-cent advance over yes- terday.
 The London price today is s33.26 an ounce.
 Whether easing off of it's policy of almost daily increases in the domestic price will be accompanied by some contraction of gold pur- chases abroad. the Administration does not disclose.
 This is the first time the Am- erican gold price has been below the world quotation. The action is interpreted in some quarters as indicating an effort to check the rapid decline of the dollar.
 The United States gold policy, officials say. is narrowing trade benefits other countries had by rea- son of depreciated currencies but there is still hope monetary war will be avoided.
