Long? Brothers and sisters,
let me tell you right here and

than that. The beginning
wasn't so bad. but the ending
was tough. Seven months!
Why, I'm all out Of touch with
the old routine. I'll bet it will
be all of a week before I can
hammer out one of those
columns about the chlorine who

took the air, or about the noble
cop who killed himself rather
than take a S. bribe from the
Speakeasy owner.
But it's swell to be back.
Really it is. Everybody's been
so grand. The boys in the box
offices. The colored porters
around the theaters. The mugs
in the barber shop. Even the
managing editor had a smile
for me-and when managing
editor smiles at columnist,
that's history.

beginning to wonder If I haven't
struck the answer to all travel.
The more you roam, the more
you appreciate the things to
which you return. Including all
the trips I've made since 1 was
a kid, l have now visited prac.
tically every spot in the world
with the exception of South
America. And where is the best
place in which to live? I don't
have to supply the answer.
Buy American
Here's what I mean: Suppose
you're a spaghetti hound. When
you're in Rome, you hop over
to Alfredo's and dive into his
noodles and spaghetti with
much gusto. But when you
have the chance to think it
over, the same stuff as Mori
prepares it down on Blocker
Street is fully as good. And,
on occasion, perhaps a little
better.
Or suppose you're a nut on
scenery. The road from Nice
to Monte Carlo is extremely
beautiful. Some of the views
in Bali are gorgeous, as you
have probably noticed. Every
land throughout the universe
can boast of some great scenic
attraction. But I'll still put my
dough on the Grand Caryon,
or on one of five places that I
might mention in southern Cal
ifornia.
Yes, I've struck the answer to
the travel question all right.
Every mile you put between
you and the home in which you
belong makes you just that
much more anxious to be back
in it. 1 know now what it
means to be happy. And from
this day on I'm going to let
the other guy do the roaming.
Let him learn what 1t took so
many years to find out.
Yes sir. I'm through. But I
can't help wondering about
something. They say South

new COINAGE
BILL DRAFTED
Latest Step to Aid Silver
States Goes to Full
Committee Soon

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18. (UP).
Help for the struggling silver
producing states was voted yes
terday by a house coinage sub
committee in the form of a sill
yer sterilization and monetiza,
ton bill.
The measure, drafted by
Chairman Andrew L. Somers of
New York, was greatly modified
in form from the type of bill de-
manded by silver advocates,
Somers, however, claimed that it
embodied nothing which could
he termed radical or danger
GUS"
No attempt was made in the
measure to establish a fixed
parity between gold and silver.
Instead the bill permits the
treasury to buy not more than
40,OOO,O0O ounces of silver an.
nually and to accept deposits of
bullion by issuing silver certifi-
Gates against it. The certificates
would be made legal tender back
ed by coined silver dollars. They
would also be eligible as bank
reserves.
Bullion acquired by the treas,
ury must be held at least five
years under the bill. Purchases
of bullion are restricted to 40
cents a pound for the first
month. Afterward a sliding scale
is provided to carry the price up
to a dollar an ounce.
The maximum of 40,000,000
ounces was fixed in order to pre-
vent the dumping of silver on
the treasury. In addition the
treasury secretary would have
authority to cease purchases
when there are signs of market
rigging or dumping by foreign
sources.
The bill will be reported to
the full committee next week.
Little hope is held for its pass
age at this session.

JAP MANDATES

Quitting League Would
Not Terminate Control
of Islands
By FREDERICK KUN
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, Feb. 18.-(UP).-
Japan needs to anticipate an i'm

tention of the former German col
onies in the Pacific in the event
she withdraws from the League of
Nations, as expected. it was indi-
Gated today.
The United Press learned that
German international law experts
recently investigated the possible
effect of Japan's resignation from
the league might have on the le-
gal status of three South Sea
Island groups, the Marianne. Car
oline and Marshalls.
The experts informed the gov
eminent here that Japan's with,
drawal would not terminate forth.

league. giving her control OF
those territories.
Japan's claim to indefinite dom,
nance of her inundated islands
was considered considerably
strengthened by virtue of the fact
that Article %, in the leagues
covenant fails to specify that man.
datory powers must belong to the
league.
This does not permanently
eliminate the possibility that the
league may attempt to remove
colonial mandate from any power
quitting the league, but the legaY
justification for such action was
viewed obviously. even by those

cedure.

ton of Japan's title to the man.

ing Statewide Action
as TO Real Property

A resolution favoring a state
wide reyaluation of real property
was adopted by officers and di-
rectors of the Kiwanis club,
meeting last night at the home
of the club president, A. F. Bar
Der, and a committee composed
of J. E. Shipman, R. H. Station
and Mr.. Barber was named to
confer with Senator j. o. Bel
and Representative Ted R. Ray
and urge them to support such
a bill in the legislature. The
Henderson county legislators are
expected to spend the weekend
here.
Word received from Raleigh
is that the machinery bill, ex-
pected to be dropped into the
Legislative hopper within the
next few days, will contain am
pie provisions for a revaluatlon
of property. To meet varying
conditions in all the counties,
the revaluation section will oe
flexible in that the board of
county commissioners will be au-
thorized to order a sweeping re-
valuation and REIMBURSEMENT of
property. or it may make a flat
reduction in property values, all
properties being reduced on a
percentage basis.
While it was pointed out that
reduction of valuations would
necessarily raise the tax rate,
the opinion at the meeting last
night was that present inflated
valuations form a serious handi-
cap to the sale of real estate.
Sentiment at the meeting also
appeared to favor the Ray bill
which would permit property
owners to exchange bonds in
payment of delinquent taxes up
to 1880, but no resolution was
offered on this bill. While pub
lie sentiment here was said to be
largely in favor of this bill, part
of the city and county admins
trations are opposing it and Rep
resentative Ray was quoted as
having said that he would not
attempt to have the measure
passed over their objections.
Both Senator Bell and Repre-
sentative Ray have said they
would welcome letters from con-
stituents setting forth their
views on these and other bills
affecting taxation and other
matters.

20 MILLIONS IN
PROFITS MADE
IN insult DEAL
Senate Unit Hears Charge
Stock Market "Rigged"
for Transaction

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10. (UP)
Charges that the stock market
was "rigged" for the insult secur-
tiles in which the firm of Halsey,
Stuart G. Co., had paper profits
of more than $40,000,000 were
made before a senate committee
yesterday.
The accusations came while
Harold L. Stuart, member of
the firm which distributed millions
of dollars worth of insult shares
was testifying in the committees
inquiry into the crash of the utili-
ties interests.
Denying his firm had made ex-
orbitant profits from insult stocks,
Stuart explained at length the con-
nection between the brokerage
hause and the utilities group.
When he had concluded, Senator
Reynolds. DEM, N. c., said:
"These stock transactions were
a merry-go-round to make the
stock look better to the suckers
who were going to buy"
81 wouldn't put it that way"
Stuart replied. "The demand was
tremendous. We could have sold
$5O,0OO,OO0 of debentures. Every
one wanted to be a partner of
Samuel insult"
"Where did all this money go"
asked Reynolds.
Before Stuart could reply, Sem
ator Brookhart. Republican, Iowa,
snapped:
He referred to the self-imposed
extile of Samuel insult, Sr., who
successfully resisted efforts of the
federal government to extradite
him to Chicago to face charges
growing out of the collapse of his
vast empire.
Ferdinand Pecora, attorney for
the committee, then charged there
had been several agreements to
support the value of the securities
on the stock market.
"Do you mean the market was
rugged by these agreements?"
asked Senator Couzens, Repn.,
Mich.
Pecora replied in the affirma-
tive.
Under questioning. Stuart said
his firm paid a Professor Nelson
of the English department of the
University of Chicago $50 a week
to broadcast financial data over
the radio in the role of the "Old
Counselor"
The information for the broad
cast was prepared in the offices
of the brokerage company, Stuart
said. He denied. however, that the
professors services were retained
to sell securities.
"No bonds were sold over the
RADIO" Stuart said.
Pecora introduced a letter writ
ten by the brokerage firm to a
Miss Evaline Mcneil informing
her the market for government
bonds was "artificially stimulated
to a great extent"
The letter suggested she ex-
change her government securities
for those of other corporations
and mentioned the debentures of
an insult company.
The committee yesterday re-
cessed until Tuesday when Chas.
E. Mitchell of the National City
bank of New York will be the first
witness.
