CITY WITNESSES NOVEL PROCESSION
Ancient COnveyances Par- ade to Advertise "The
 Old Fashioned Way"

Conveyances that haven't been seen on city streets since the days when Steve Brodie jumped off the Brooklyn bridge and every well dressed man wore a derby were featured in the street parade spon sored by the management of the Palace theater today in connection with their latest picture "The Old Fashioned Way"
 To demonstrate the "old fash toned way,', the ancient hacks were resurrected from the cobwebs where they have been in seclusion for many years, and dressed up for the occasion. Four-in-hands and other turnouts that were the envy of the young blades of years gone by were followed in the parade by all types of bicycles, even including a tandem. All the rigs were manned by suitably dressed drivers and occupants. Several modern cars were also conspicuous for their contrast with the old-time vehicles.
 The parade attracted consider able attention as it made it's way along streets of the business sec tion this noon.
 Residents of the municipal bar racks at Brookside were invited today to be the guests of the Poli management to see familiar sights of their "boyhood" days.

The advertisement recalls the recent
demands Of George r. Hills, finance
director for Florida, to the employees Of
the Department OF Agriculture that
paralleled the Cotter advertisement.
Hills assurances to the Government
workers were Just as positive as those
given by Cotter, but Secretary Wallace
seemed to believe that amy such con-
tributions are presumed to be entirely
voluntary" That announcement came
after Hills had suggested an assess
ment, or rather Q contribution, Of SO
per 81 900 In salary,
Cotter hasn't set up quota TO be
met. Hills did. He pointed out that
Florida must raise $4,000.
Wallace,s reaction to Hills' request
was that no Government employe was
under any obligations" to contribute
to party funds or to render political
service. 49,.
Before Hills invasion Of the Agri-
culture Department. and Cotter,s gen.
eral appeal to Government workers,

Dimes and quarters In American
pockets are not affected BY the Chi
nese- United States talk about silver.
But the coins passed around BY Chi
nese are.
The reason II that the United
States is on . gold basis and China
on q oliver standard. In other words,
American dimes and quarters are
valuable because they represent .
fixed amount of gold; Chinese coins.
which comprise most Of the currency
Of that nation, are valuable because
they are silver.
When the United States buys silver
on any market, It eventually. under
present circumstances. means that
silver B shipped out Of China II
that continued indefinitely, China
would have no monetary reserve and
no coins.
Then, too. q the United States
buys silver. the value Of the metal
In terms Of dollars rises.
That means that the United States
and other nations, which have been
buying In China. look for other
markets.
An American who buys In China
has to trade his dollars for silver.
70 takes more dollars now 70 buy the
same amount Of silver. and TN Auer-
lean, naturally, wants the most he
can get 1pg his dollars, 20 he hunts

The result q that China fears she
soon win Be doing nothing but buying.
II It should work out that way, she
would have to keep on exporting silver
to pay for her purchases. q
Eventually. lacking enough silver
for . monetary reserve, she would
have to abandon the silver standard
and resort to . managed currency,
~ have gold-standard nations when
their gold left their borders. China
hopes the export tax she imposes on
silver win prevent such IN eventuality.
There has been some uno6hcial talk
IN the Capital recently that the
United States might help China to

gold for silver 20 the Nanking gov
ernment could establish q bi-metallic

out In favor Of vertical unions for

forced by 400. 700 automobile work.

they are going to organize one union
for their industry instead Of trying to

Placing The Blame.
The New Deal publicity men are
trying to put all the blame on Prof.
warren for his White House confer
ence with Mr.. Roosevelt. They insist
privately that the eminent gold ma
eician wanted to re the President.
and the President could not very well
refuse.
That would be 3 likely story Il II
were not for the fact that Mr.. Roose-
welt talked 20 much about prices. Just
~ hours before. The fact that Prof.
Warren went In the mont door instead
Of the side door. where no one =

Of what impression the White HOuse
wanted TO create.
II b quite true that Senator Bulkley
did mot talk TO the President about
money before he made his devaluati0n
prediction. but that means Nttle, too.
No one expects devaluat1on right
now. but every cne expects public
speculation about Il now, which 4
