There were a few couples SOL

after a swift survey, that no one
she knew was present and was

The man who owned the place,
a thick-set, cheerful looking ltal-

cards and left them. Dan turned
to her and Monnie's heart missed
a beat. For the first time she
saw the old Dan in that glance
the humbly worshiping Dan who
had first said to her summer be-
fore last, I'm falling in love with
you, girl, dye know that?"
He only said in rather COM
monplace fashion, missed you.
Like the very devil.
She strove for the light touch.
1t would never do to let him know
how much she had missed him.
Never. never!
Calamity she said, i've
thought of you lot, too"
Dan set his jaw in an ominous
way he had. He demanded, "Is
that all you've got to say about
it,"
Monica could have laughed
aloud. could have sung for pure
JOY at his fierCencss.
"Ail?" she asked demurely
That's a lot. This is a small

eyes fairly cracking at her under
his long lashes.

BANK OF ENGLAND'S
GOLD BUYING VAST

LONDON, April 19.-UP).-
The largest single days purchase
of gold, totaling 100000 pounds
sterling ($19,SSO,OOO) in bar
gold, since the suspension of the
gold standard, was made by the
Bank of England yesterday.
The operation was understood
to be designed to check the rise
of the pound by the purchase of
gold standard culrencies, such as
the dollar and franc, and the i'm
mediate repurchase of gold.
The Bank of England's gold
holdings are now 1863, 963,896

She felt happy now as she al

History to Know
Pope Plus as a
Building Pontiff
By THOMAS B. MORGAN
United fress Staff Correspondent

ROME. April IS. (UP). -
Pope Plus XI will go down to his
tory as one of the building point
ifs. A great deal of building
has taken place during his pap
aey, and if he will not rank with
the greatest builders like Sixtus
V, who erected many of the ODE
lisks in Rome, or Urban VIII,
who put up many of the founda-
tiOns which still adorn the city, a
mass of constructions of various
kinds stands to his credit.
Another small change has been
ordered by the Pope in the Vati-
can Gardens. Plus XI has decided
to pull down the ugly kiosk above
the grotto of LOurdes and substt-
tute a more aesthetic structure,

upon some worthwhile project for

could be connected with drainage

brought into the city to hook up

president of the Junior Chamber
of Commerce was present and pro-
missed the cooperation of that or

city might choose on which this
transient labor could be used.
Crossing Discussed
Tyler spoke for a few moments

the council for a long time. He
stated that after consultation With

FEW OLD CAR +.
TYPES REMAIN

DETROIT, Oct. 5. tU.P;-Behind
the swan song of the automobile
industry's every ghost lies a story.
Some died of financial ailments,
some expired because they Just
couldn't take it along with the other
current models. Others, Just the
stepping stones leading to today's
machine, folded up because they
were outmoded.
Those reasons account for the
survival of but thirty-od of the in
duStrys 1900 models manufactured
since the turn of the century.
One of the early birds not now
remembered was the little known
Ford model K-a huge, numbering
six cylinder job which cost the pur-
chaser $4,000, but was just the thing
for a leisurely family tour.
Today's machines show graphical
ly the cycle of growth, decline, alb
sorption and change. Take the case
OF Nash Motors. Charles w Nash
was president of General Motors
until he resigned to form his own
company in 1916. The Nash automo-
bile emerged from the ashes of the
Jeffrey company, which in itself
had absorbed the Rambler interests
some time before.
Chrysler, one of the industry's
Big Three today, was an unknown
quantity until 1924 His first Chry-
sler appeared as the successor to
Maxwell. Maxwell succeeded Bris-
Gee, which it had swallowed up some
years previously.

ed by the city early this year was

ira tax to be paid by all retailers

The council discussed the recent
action of the superior court de-
claring ordinance 214 as of no ef-
feet following the passage of the
state Wright Act. This followed
the conviction of A. Faldow on a
charge of possessing intoxicating
liquor in police court. A writ of
habeas corpus had been procured
by his attorney and after the ar
gument in superior court on this
writ, Judge Vaughn Thompson de-
clared that this ordinance which
had been passed by the city in
1921 had been outlawed by the
Wright Act.
The practical effect of the supe-
rior court action, Dorsey Whitelaw,
city attorney, pointed out to the
board, was to render this city or
dlnance futile. He suggested that
the council should re-enact an
emergency ordinance Immediately
which would cover this situation
thoroughly. He had such an ordi-
nance prepared and read it to the
council. This was tabled for the
present due to the fact that the
Eighteenth Amendment may be re-
pealed in the near future.

would regulate dancing in the city

Gil for some time past and mea-
sures had frequently been taken to
counteract these termites. The city
clerk said that the damage had
been confined to old records and
that but little change had been
caused to later documents.

Promiscueus operation of card

lice to draft an ordinance regulat-
ing such games and report back
To the council at CLOCK Tues

In Introducing this suggestion
Bucklin pointed out to the board
that there are altogether too many

obliged to pay a city license fee of
500 with an additional fee of $50
per month thereafter. Other
places may be allowed to operate
on the basis of a 500 per month
fee should the council see fit to
allow this.
Another item to be included in

Hartman Closing
Explained by Treasury

In connection with the Harri-
man National Bank and Trust
Company's failure to open to-
day, Treasury officials pointed
out that under Section 207 of
the emergency banking act,
President Roosevelt has power to
enforce reorganization of such
institutions.
There can be no writing down
of deposits without the consent
of IS per cent of depositors. The
law provides that a write-down
of other liabilities can be made
only with the consent of IS per
cent Of the creditors and two
thirds of the stockholders.
If a reorganization plan is ap-
proved by the Comptroller of the
Currency, it will be binding upon
all depositors, creditors and
stockholders.
Only where the comptroller
approves a reorganization plan
there can be no write-off of bank
liabilities except through a re-

Business as Usual
Resumes in New York

NEW YORK, March 13 U.N.SD .
With few exceptions, the banks
Of New York reopened today on
a normal basis in conformity
with the regulations set forth
by the national Government.
Throughout the city, for the
first time in 10 days, business
took a normal aspect.
Over the financial district
and elsewhere-came a feeling
Of relief and optimism as the
banks reopened.
The Federal Reserve Bank of
New York late last night had
announced that So of its 81
member banks in New York city
had been granted licenses by the
Treasury Department authoriz-
ing them to reopen this morn
ing.
COnServatOr in Charge
simultaneously the IL other
Federal Reserve regional banks
over the country announced their
lists Of licensed banks.
The Hartman National Bank
and Trust Company, however,
did not open.
Notice explaining it's failure to
reopen was posted on the door
Of the Hartman National Bank
and Trust Company. It read:
"ThiS bank has been closed
by order Of the CamptrOller Of
the Currency, and is in charge
Of Henry E. Cooper, conserve
tor"
Seven or eight banks, mostly
small institutions in the outlying
districts, were waiting for per-
mission from the Treasury to
reopen their doors.
The New York Stock Exchange
diu not eopen but took the first
steps toward normal resumption
of security trading. The ex-
change this morning gave it's
members permission to make
COQLkSCtS over G1lC counter 4O1
purchase or sale of United States
Government obligations.
Trade Ban Relaxed
Furthermore, the ban on trad
ing was relaxed to permit brokers
to make subscriptions for them
selves to custmoers for the Gov
ernment's $sOO,oOO,OOo offering Of
certificates of indebtedness, books
for which were opened today at
all Federal Reserve banks. These
bills will be dated March IS.
Two series of notes were being
offered, one for five months
bearing per cent interest and
another for nine months at 4A
per cent interest.
These rates compare with an
interest cost of 4.26 per cent
which the Government was
obliged to pay on a $4,000. 900
