Sign Petition Agreeing To
Refer Promoters TO
E. c. Committee

Thoroughly aroused by the in
creaSing demands being made up
on them by advertising solicitors,
HenderSOnyille merchants today
signed a petition addressed TO the
Chamber Of Commerce and asking
for protection Of the chambers
advertising committee against
fake and worthless advertising
schemes.
Drafting of the petition was
precipitated within the last few
days after a dozen or more adver-
Using solicitors. mostly tranSientS,
had called upon the merchants
and urged that they sponsor
schemes Of little merit. One
merchant explained that it was
easy to dispose Of an out-Of-town
solicitor who called by himself, but
that it was extremely difficult to
turn down Il proposition sponsor
ed by an organization or lnShtu-
ton in Henderson county. In
these instances, it was said. the
solicitor is' accompanied by rep
resentative of the organization
and the merchant is made to feel
that he is unfriendly to the or
ganization if he does not buy ad-
Ivertising space or otherwise con-
ribute to the project. Another
merchant said he is visited by ad-
vertiSing solicitors on an average
of about twice day, and that few
of the schemes have sufficient
merit to profit anyone but the
promoter.
BY agreeing to refer all transi-
vent solicitors TO the advertising
committee Of the Chamber Of Com
imercp, it is felt that the merch-
ants will be spared much embar-
lrasSment and expense. Endorse
mcnt by the committee will not
iobligate the merchant to buy add
vertising'. The petition which was
being circulated today and which
will be presented to other merch-
ants at meeting to be held to-
night TO discuss the sales tax. fol-
lows:
eve the undersigned business
men hereby petition the Chamber
of Commerce to give us all the
protection possible against the nu-
merouS solicitors Of advertising.
We respectfully request the adver-
Using committee Of this Organlza-
ton to promptly investigate all
advertising schemes we shall refer
to them and further request that
if and when merit is found in them
the committee will so indicate by
a letter given to the advertising
solicitor.
eve promise to cooperate to
the extent that we will refer all
solicitors of advertising to the
Chamber Of Commerce before Civ
ing time for their solicitation. We
need this protection against some
Of the tactics employed by solici.

|. OF COIN STILL
FRENCH GOAL
Lacking that They An
nounce They Will Push
For An Adjournment
AMERICANS REMAIN
STAUNCHLY OPPOSED

LONDON, June 20 (UP)-.
France brought the world econ
omic conference to grave crisis
today with an ultimatum that if
a currency sterilization agree
ment is not effected within the
week she would propose that the
conference adjourn indefinitely.
The seriousness of the situa-
ton was emphasized later by the
American announcement that
there is no prospect of even a
temporary sterilization of the
dollar in the near future.
1t is reported that Premier
Macdonald, chairman, had sent
President Roosevelt a personal
message urging that he take i'm
mediate steps toward stabiliza-
ton for the sake of the confer
ence.
1t was disclosed that Washing
ton has tentatively offered
France dollar sterilization ION
condition" which is connected
with war debts but France has
flatly refused this.
The British, spurred into act
ion by the swiftly tumbling dol
lar, have thrown in their lot with
the European gold standard bloc
and agreed to peg the pound
sterling with the French gold
franc, it was reported in world
economic conference quarters last
night.
This report was supported by
word from trustworthy sources
close to the Bank of England,
who informed the United Press
that the Bank of England and
the Bank of France representa-
tives, in a meeting last night
agreed to peg the sterling to the
franc. The move was described
as an effort to support gold cur
rencies on the continent.
Word came during the day
in which the falling dollar slow
ly forced the British to yield to
pressure from the gold standard
countries, led by France. de-
manding Britain join the cOntin-
entail gold standard defense
league" against the dollar.
The dollar closed at $4.32 3-4
to the pound, but continued to
drop in late tradings, and was
quoted as low as '$4.38 TO the
pound-a record for their ex~
change rates since the British
went off gold. Prior to Amer
ica's abandoning the gold stand
ard, the pound-dollar rate was
around $3.40.
The Americans were seeking
to prevent the British from join
ing the European gold-bloc
against the dollar, holding that
Anglo-American cooperation III
financial reform measures would
work out to their mutual advan-
tage. However, the British OPP
posed the dropping of the dollar
to figure approaching the form
err $4.86 to the pound, thereby
eliminating their trade advantage
gained by going off gold, and
apparetly felt that joining the
gold-bloc might force Washing
ton now to agree to currency
sterilization.
The agreement to peg the
pound to the franc was under
stood to have been arranged on
flexible, informal basis, with
out fixing a defenite rate.
However, Montagu Norman.
head of the Bank of England,
was reported to have given as
surance that Britain would go
her utmost within her resources
to hold the sterling-franc rate
steady by using her 375, 100000
pound sterling equalization fund
in manipulating the exchange

Washington, May 15. (UP)- When wiry little man with gray hair but a young, unwrinkled face starts shutting back and forth be- tween his own office and that of the secretary of state, puffing vigorously at his pipe with every step, observers around the state department know that an economic problem is under fire.
 The energetic, pipe-smoking young man is Herbert Feis. His position is economic adviser to the secretary of state. During his two years with the state department, although his name doesn't appear in the headlines, he has been a force in shaping Americas eco- homie policy toward other coun- tries.
 Feis is working night and day in preparation for the world economic conference in London next month. Surrounded by weighty statistical tonnes, charts of korld business, books of commercial law and a busy corps of secretaries he grinds out factual munition sfor Secre- tary Hulls attack on the world depression.
 Feis was born in New York city 39 years ago, took a doctors de- gree in economies at Harvard and almost immediately was transpor- ted from the world of tariffs and money into the United States navy. He served as a lieutenant during the World War.
 Then he was university profes- sor, research student in Europe, q writer on economic subjects, since May, 1891, he has been econ- omic adviser to the secretary of state.
 Some time ago a young writer. much given to sweet phrases, drew a pen picture of FNeis in which the latter was compared with Justice Brandeis in mentality and pictured as veritable Don Juan, irresistible to women.
 asked.
 He emitted a grunt of disgust and said:
 "It makes me feel like debu- tante at her first party"
 Feis might be called liberal in his economic theories, not that he wants to overturn the present economic order but he thinks it will stand considerable mendins. To him the Smoot- -Hawley tariff act was an abomination and the root of much of the worlds misery.
 To cure the present economic illness. he believes that tariffs must be reduced. the war debt problem settled and monies stabilized. He will have ample opportunity to work toward those ends in Lon- don,

Mothers Day at the Church of the Blessed Sacrament was es- pecially observed yesterday by the Children of Mary with g crowning of the statue of the Blessed Vir- gin ceremony. While the crowning Is usually scheduled for the last Sunday of May the service was held yesterday in observance of Mothers Day. It was very impress sive, was witnessed by a large ga- thering of parishioners, and was featured by the receiving into the society of a large group of new members.
 Rev. John Glynn of the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes preached the sermon which followed the crowning. Father Glynn spoke on Mary, the Mother", accounting the virtues of the Blessed Virgin and urging the members of the Children of Mary to follow in her footsteps and to follow the exam pie laid down by her on earth.
 Miss Terese Moran, president of the Children of Mary, led the pro- cession and laid the crown upon the statue of the Blessed Virgin. She was assisted by Misses Anne Bacon, Bernadine Lawlor and An- ne Moran. The service was attended by the other 46 present members of the society and they formed an arch of roses. The old and new

LIVELY (. O.P.
 SENATORIAL
 RACE IN UTAH
Reed Shoot Starts Prelim- mary Work For 1884
 Nomination
By GEORGE D. CRISSEY United Press Stan Correspondent

United Press stan correspondent
 Salt Lake City, Utah. (UP)- Utah is brewing an interesting political fight involving, among others, Reed Shoot. for 30 years U. S. Senator and a high-ranking Mormon churchman.
 Shoot. a potent factor in the administrations of Harding. Cool idge and Hoover. has caused the campaign to command national attention.
 It centers around the seat of Senator King, democrat. who comes up for reelection in 1884. That King will be renominated may be taken for granted.
 For c time 1t was assumed that J. Reuben Clark, Jr., former Am bassador to Mexico. would renew his sensatorial ambitions. but that seems definitely out now as Clark was named second counselor of the Latter Day Saints (Mormon) church at this years general con- ference.
 The vitual self elimination of Clark leaves Shoot and Frank Evans. former member of the Federal Farm board. in the re- publican lineup. Neither has ad- mitted a desire to run, but neither have they denied their intention to run.
 Scots defeat in the last elec- ton was surprising, although in line with the states attitude. The democratic ticket swept every thing before it. This gave Utah a democratic governor and solidly democratic congressional delega- tion for the first time in history.
 A change in national and state sentiment is the hope of the .repub- licans. The church, contrary to accepted belief outside the state, is not involved as Senator King, Senator Thomas and the three representatives also are Mormons.
