Let's Get Going

LONDON, Feb. 2. UP)-His Royal
Highness the Prince of Wales, and
his brother, the Duke of York, are
doing embroidery in their spare
time, it was revealed today.
The royal family, inspired by
Queen Mary, who has been partic-
ularly busy of late embroidering
seats for the chairs in Buckingham
palace, has turned its attention to
the art of stitchery, an ancient
hobby and truly royal art.
The fad, or hobby, has attracted
the interest not only of the heir to
the throne, but of the Princess Roy
al and her husband, Lord Harewood.
They are particularly engaged in

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2. - Admin
istration officials today believed
President Roosevelt IS bold monetary
policy already had shown signs Of
success in enabling the United
States to raise world prices of vari-
Gus vital commodities.
Officials claimed an American vic
tory in the first skirDlish in inter-
national financial markets follow
ing Mr.. Roosevelt IS devaluation Of
the dollar.
Cotton and rubber were up yes
terday. These staples and Others
such as wheat. corn, and copper
figure in administration plans. Ris-
ing prices for these international
staples are expected gradually to
attract others to the upward move
mcnt, thus promoting world recov-
cry. --= .----4
The victory claimed in the inter-
national market was based on a
rise in the London, or world price,
of gold.
BY forcing the world price up
ward, the United States hopes to
promote corresponding increase in
commodity prices. The $35 Amer
ican bid is designed to protect the
American price raising program
against international bear move
mentS.
Secretary Morgenthau was des
cribed in responsible circles as sat
isfied' with the movement of the
world market.
The sharp rise in the London
price of gold was cited as evidence
that the United States would die
tate the world prices of the metal
and indirectly the world price level
of various commodities.
Will Go Slowly
According to wholly unconfirmed
reports, it was said that the $2000,-
100000 stabilization fund set up by
the federal government, with part
of the dollar .devaluation profits,
would Ego slowly in its interna-
tional dealings until the present ef-
fectS of the $35 an ounce gold buy
ing of the government could be
gauged.
Administration officials refused to
predict the possible results of the
dollar depreciation program over the
near future but were obviously
pleased with the upturn in stocks,
bonds and some of the major COM
modities.
1t was emphasized in important
quarters that while the monetary
program is being carried out inde-
pendent of the rest of the world,
there was no intent to injure the
economy of other nations.

ask the senate to cite w. P. Nc
Cracken, former assistant secretary

Mako Is Fiercest
Of Finny Fighters

nothing happened. began to fear
that this particular fish was not going
to perform of his own accord. In
cases like this l usually grow impa-
tient and relax vigilance, when as a
matter Of fact, the thing is to be all
the keener. After about half hour
more, we appeared to be. getting the
upper hand and had the mako close.
Its big fin, sharp and triangular, cut
the surface. We ran closer, hoping to
get pictures Of what happened at the
gaff; and we were perhaps 200 feet
away when the mako leaped unexpect-
edly.
"He came out slick and fast, with
out splash, and as he swept upward,
stiff as a poker, cleaning blue-white,
with wide pectorals spread and huge
tail curved, his great savage head mar
rowing to a spear point, he was as
suredly spectacle to fire any angler.
Then came the second leap-a long, low
greyhound bound over the sea, ending
in furious white splash as large as
my boat. He shot out so close to our
bow that he could have been touched,
and he went up to half the height of
our mast, Is feet above the water, and
turned in the air to smack down with
a resounding roar. Then he split the
water just opposite the cockpit and
frightfully close. We waited, tingling
with suspense, but he did not leap
again.
Wore Himself Out.
"All this happened in a few seconds.
But he did not break out again. He
stayed down and wore himself out in
the succeeding half hour, so that when
we finally hauled him up to the boat
and got the gait he had only one wag
left.
"Our next notable experience with a
mako occurred some days after that.
We sighted one on the surface and
circled him with a bait. He took it.
That mako flashed straight for the
boat, coming like a streak on the sur
face. He seized the rudder in his
powerful jaws and churned the water
into seething foam in his efforts to bite
it off. 1t was iron, Of course, and he
could not do much damage, except to
his teeth. Neither was he huge
enough to tear the rudder off, as the
sharks do at Suva. But he got away"
During the months Of New Zealand
fishing, Mr.. Grey caught about 70
mako. Ten of these weighed about
400 pounds, while one weighed $50
pounds.

Gives Greatest Thrill in Fish
ing, Says Author.

New York.-When it comes to undi-
luted thrill in fishing there is, accord
ing to Zane Grey, nothing that swims
which compares with the great mako
of New Zealand waters
In the eyes Of Mr.. Grey, who Is re-
garded as one Of the worlds foremost
anglers, the great mako is so swift and
ferocious fighter that it is more like
a torpedo than fish.
"Never in my life," writes Mr.. Grey
in the current issue of Natural His
tory, journal of the American Museum
Of Natural History, shave l seen such
a magnificent fish spectacle as his
leaping. He is stubburn, strong
fighter, too, and must be put in a class
by himself. While it cannot be proved
against him that, like some sharks, he
will stalk men, l know that when pro-
voked or hurt he will kill, and that, if
he is angry and tastes blood, he will
become as ravenous as any shark.
A Leapine Fool.
Zone morning, trolling, we had one
of the marvellous leaping mako strikes
which makes this sport exciting. This
mako, which weighed 4S6 pounds,

nificent leap, shining in the sunlight,

a huge splash and sounded.

reserve in the moral order of her citi-
zenship, and while this may be heavily
drawn upon in a crisis, it is not read
lily exhausted.
The fear Of disintegrating civiliza-
ton is due largely to the loss Of faith
in economic values. Many persons
believe that when securities go to
pieces and the value of money is dis
counted, the end is perilously near.
The truth is that the stability of a
civilization does not depend upon
economic values. History informs US
that many decadent civilizations were
at their height economically when the
crisis came.
1t is not an economic problem but
very definitely racial and moral
problem. By common consent, western
civilization is attributable to the cul-
ture and character of the white race,
and our real problem is its enduring
quality. If through intermarriage the
moral and cultural fiber of the white
race is allowed to deteriorate there is
grave danger ahead. If our inherited
belief in monogamy should he sup
planted by code of morals which I'M
dermines the sanctity of the home and
denies to children the right to be we'll
born, we shall face serious menace.
If the oriental Interpretation Of Gull
ture should undermine the stability of
Americas educational and religious in
situations, we would be sailing our
ship of destiny dangerously near the
rocks. How long will western civiliza-
ton be able to overcome the subtle
influence of some of these destructive
forces? True, 1t is no cause for imme-
date alarm but the fact that the per-
manence of our civilization is not an
economic but rather racial and moral
problem, gives us cause for grave con-
Germ. Will the Caucasian or some
other race ultimately dominate the
world?
